Backup Vocals/Overdub Show - 8/17/09

What I would consider to be many fine examples of backup singing or the use of vocal overdub from the post-punk era or at least, post-mid 70s era. And why I consider that to be a BIG DEAL and why hopefully everyone else should too. Then throw in a little personal, romantic woolgathering and that was my show tonight. Here's the link to listen to it. Well not here, below:

8/10 Show Pre-empted By "No Reservations"

That's right, our very own Pirate Cat Radio Cafe is going to be featured on the Travel Channel show, "No Reservations" with that Anthony Bourdain dude. I believe he is going to drink our Maple Bacon Latte and we're having a viewing party to celebrate this during my normal shift. I'll be back next week unless someone puts us on another show.

Brian Eno Show - 8/3/09

It probably is not news to any of you to hear me say that Brian Eno is one of the most important, innovative, and influential musicians alive. Even people living in caves on Mars know this (there are those people, by the way.) Well news or not, tonight's show was all dedicated to music he wrote, performed and/or produced. Enjoy!
