The Paul Slavens Show: Live Blog for March 4, 2012


by Paul Slavens 4 Mar 2012 7:38 PM

This is where you can leave your music suggestions. No awards shows, speeches, playoffs or anything, just gorgeous weather. I am hoping for a nice night of wonderful suggestions and comments.
CTA TBD

Hello, welcome to the live blog.
Next weekend is the 35 festival in Denton. I’m gonna play a bunch of music that you can check out at the festival. Local and national stuff, mixed in with all last weeks suggestions. Thanks for tuning in.
This is where you can leave your music suggestions. Nothing too long (6 min+) , too loud or soft. And definitely be careful about suggestions that have FCC noncompliant language.

  • Spent the last week driving back and forth and back and forth across the South in the middle of the night fueled only by Waffle House and Gary Numan turned up to 11. Now I can’t stop. Please help by playing some of his new album.

      Gonna have to get me some, I will report back next sunday, hope to be playing some of that new numan.

      • BTW, haven’t been to the blog in a while. See we are now using Disqus, which is cool and all that, but this is kinda my “trolling inbred conservatives” persona so we’ll just have to see how it works out.

          play nice with the other kids and nobody gets spanked.

      Excellent suggestion. I hope he plays some Blind Willie

  • Jerem69

    Maybe some day play Sister Morphine by the Stones. Or most anything by Morphine. I also narrowed the Blue Oyster Cult suggestion down to She’s as Beautiful as a Foot or Vera Gemini (prefaced by Patty Smith during her contract avoidance years).

    • Anonymous

      super excellent. tune in next week for sure.

    • Vera Gemini…

      1978. Ken and I are flying through the desert. Agents Of Fortune on the cassette. Had just met Patti Smith at a record store in Dallas weeks before. (remember record stores?) The paper said she could be a rebel but still at least shower and use deodorant. Seriously. The record store had giant posters of Boomtown Rats but no Patti Smith stuff. She was still news.

      Porsche 914 with the top off through the night. Vera Gemini one more time. 109mph at 4:45AM. Young, immortal, and… hungry. Pull off at a lonely West Texas exit. Greasy spoon on the right. Walk in to find… round-about 100 cops… looking at two long haired freaks who had just pulled up in a sports car with the stereo blaring.

      reboot heart.

      Don’t freak out. All eyes on us. Ken quietly orders me to get biscuits and gravy. I can’t imagine that is food for breakfast but I comply. It puts the cops at ease, and my belly, and my mind.

      As the sun rose ahead of us flying into Ft. Worth on I-20 I ejected that cassette and threw it straight up into the air. I haven’t listened to Vera Gemini since then.

      Play it.

      Karen had a great voice and all but that song is solid Klaatu, from the album HOPE.

      I would ask Paul to play it but he would say “Too Prog, man.”

      • pslavens_kera

        I have already played both versions of that song numerous times over the years. But am happy to do it again. thanks.

    Hey, is that Hunter S Thompsonesque or Peter Wolfen? Great story on the 914. Buddy had a Euro model. I used to feel uncomfortable when cops were around. Heck, short hair freaked me out. Now I have a clearance and my hair is shorter than my father’s was. Have I sold out? Nah, I still got my music! And memories, while they last. I saw Patty Smith for $2.50 at WVU Mountainlair and shared “reefereshments” with her on stage. Did I just miss-pell that? I’m still waiting for Paul to get up the courage to play Root Boy Slim’s “I Used to be a Radical ( Pssing on the White House Lawn)” for us. Saw them for $1.50..

    My son , Dylan (12 as of Leap Day) appreciates the eclectic mix of electronica, folk, blues, country, and really liked the acid surf that you played last week. Keep it up Paul. Musical diversity is why I donate. Cool.
