Happy Birthday Sub Pop! Eden's Hour special this Saturday night at 9pm.

erin.skipper — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:06:41 -0500

Tonight! A special show in honor of the 20th birthday of Sub Pop Records ...give or take your definition of 20th anniversary as they have actually been in existence in some form or another for a little longer than that. I'll be highlighting some of my fave Sub Pop songs from the past 8 years or so... I'm sorry I just can't go grunge on you. I know I know... I COULD play some of the music that put Sup Pop on te map, like Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden and Green River ...but alas that would mean also reminiscing about Seattle in the 90's and that could take a long time and would mean I'd have to whip out old pictures of me with a chelsea haircut and ripped jeans. I can't bring myself to do that to you ...or me. A girls got a reputation to maintain ;-) read more »

Lyrical Venus: Female Singer-Songwriters Tues 9AM - Sleepless in Seattle

I have a universe inside me
Where I can go and spirit guides me
There I can ask oh any question
I get the answers if I listen

~ Sinéad O'Connor, The Healing Room

Last week I was off in Seattle with some of my college pals to
celebrate the graduation of our friend Katja from Naturopathic medical
school. It was a sweet time staying up late in a cabin on the lake with trips into the city for fun adventures. I manage to get together with this group of friends about once a year, and one thing I always look forward to is sharing what kind of music we've been listening to lately. We thought it would be fun for us to do a show together, so guest DJ's Megan and Karuna introduced me to some new artists and we all picked out some songs to celebrate the occasion (like The Healing Room by Sinéad O'Connor), plus some all around good stuff by Ellis, Lori McKenna, Edie Brickell, Beth Orton and more!

Lyrical Venus: Female Singer-Songwriters Tues 9AM - Rivers and Rain

heather — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:18:57 -0500

This week on Lyrical Venus the songs are all about rivers and rain.

Rivers, rain and flooding have been on everyone's mind here in Iowa lately. While we've been fortunate to have some nice sunny days lately, the rivers are still swollen and the crisis isn't over for some. For the people who have lost their homes and businesses, the road to recovery has only just begun. Some of the hardest hit are the artists and musicians without insurance who have lost equipment, portfolios, tools, studios, housing and more. Legion Arts and the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation has set up an artist relief fund where you can donate to those in need: read more »

Grobschnitt Special - Eroc Interview on Plattenkiste - Part 2 Thu at 11pm

geraldgrohmann — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:31:27 -0500

On June the 5th, I am starting a series of shows concentrating on the German band Grobschnitt. Part of this will be a three-hour interview that I had with Eroc. Eroc was Drummer and creative Mastermind of Grobschnitt from the beginning in 1970 untill 1983. In 1983 he left the band at a time when he had achieved everything he wished for as a performing Artist. Since his departure from Grobschnitt he is concentrating on the technicial aspects as a successfull producer in the eighties and since the nineties as a high profile expert for mastering. He remains as one of the most reputed protagonists of the German and the international musicscene and I regard myself very fortunate for the opportunity to have this long and in depth conversation about his career in general and Grobschnitt in particular.

So join me for this exceptional month-long series of shows about the most unique and wonderfull among all the German bands and come to know one of the most gifted musicians ever to come out of Germany. read more »

When was the last time you sold your sister?

Was it good money?

Did she get married to a helicopter?
