    Yay!!! Another Sunday show underway!

  • Stephen Douglas

    Paul,

    This is Richard’s friend, one of your most fervent listeners. Let me just pass this on. His request for this week is: Eloquence by Jason Falkner from his “Can You Still Feel” album.

    He also wanted to answer your question from 2 weeks ago. When you played a song called Me and My Arrow and asked listeners where it was used as a jingle. Richard remembers it being used for the Plymoth Arrow car in the late 70s or early 80s.

    Thanks, Paul!

    • I have misplaced his most recent requests
      glad to have this one
      I will look into it for him
      thanks as always

    • Is that the same Jason Falkner from the band Jellyfish?

  • OOPS !!!
    Started out with the wrong track, Oh well, luckily its all good music tonite.
    Lets hear some suggestions

  • I found out about this band, Plone, through a Reese’s Peanutbutter Cup commercial. I would whistle along to their song “Plaything” every time the commercial would come on, and it would drive me insane because I had no idea who it was. After an hour of googling I was able to identify this song, which only appeared on a compilation of electronica artists. Luckily it was on youtube with a download link:

    I love this song.

  • Off to a good start. Giant headache tonight so don’t play things I sould have to crank up to 11

  • Stephen Douglas
  • Diane Brantley

    Hello,

    How about Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs or something from the Alan Parson’s Project and no Alyce in Chains for Bill K.

    Diane

  • Diane Brantley

    Bill K said he had a giant headache and not to play anything he had to crak up to 11.

  • Dan

    Great set Paul, as usual. A few humble requests:

    “Baal’s Hymn” as sung by David Bowie
    “Mars: Bringer of War” performed by Emerson, Lake and Powell (that’s right, Gustav Holst)
    and anything by James Brown and/or Willie Dixon

    • ELP
      yikes
      I will see how long it is

      thanks for the suggestions, these are all probably doable

  • Harold

    Hey Paul,

    How about something from Peter Schmidt. Impala by Funland or even better if you have any Three on a Hill.

    Thanks Harold

    • I may have to pull out some old boxes of tapes to find any 3 on hill
      I will see if I can locate some PSchmidt
      cheers
      p

  • That strings track you just played sounded like something from John Zorn’s album Magick, only slightly less evil.

    Have you heard of Rich Woodson’s Ellipsis? They’ve put out two albums, and I’ve been digging the first one, Control and Resistance. You have to love an album whose review on allmusic.com compares it to Zappa’s Jazz From Hell: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fnfyxqrkld0e
    Here’s where you can buy it: http://www.cuneiformrecords.com/bandshtml/woodson.html

    • I am looking forward to checking this out
      thanks

  • Dave Harding

    Thanks for the Zero 7 – they did a great job of mixin in Theme for a Big Green Van From Up n Smoke, on this song http://www.zero7.co.uk/video,crosses_7.htm

    Also thanks for the Doug Neil, he was kind enough to send me his latest CD Gravity Lab …and I can’t take it out of my car stereo.

    How bout some Joe Venutti? that’s fun n different but not too.

    Hey Paul, sorry I’m a bit late today. Just drove back from South Padre Island (brother’s wedding). We were able to get reception for the station (about 30 mins south of Waxahachie) just in time for your show. Don’t have anything for you this week, but wanted to let you know that you welcomed me and my wife back into town.

    Great selection tonight!

  • $L!X

    Hey, Paul!

    I just have one little request for next week:

    “Above And Beyond – Good For Me (featuring Zoe Johnston)”: Every time I hear this track, my mind just shuts off, and I find myself just moving gracefully trough a moment of auditory bliss without a single care in the world.

    [From the Album “Tri-State”: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/good-for-me/id152097347?i=152097486 ]

    Can you play this track? Thanks!

  • Kerri

    Hi Paul,

    I would like to email you a couple of tracks from my good friend Will Jacobs. He’s a great musician. They are in an mp3 format. What email can I send them to?

    Thanks, Kerri
