This Saturday, August 21 from 5-6 pm, Lord Octo will be serving up some great tunes and it is all lyric-free. No singers spewing forth their verbal-like madness only to fill our ears with worthless garb (at least for this Saturday).

Let the hour fill you up with some happy ditties picked fresh from the garden of rock and served to you on a magical plate of fried octopus golden awesomeness by your good pal Lord Octo.   

3pm - James Moore speaks with author/Constitutional scholar Michael Badnarik and Common Sense Revisited's Clyde Cleveland in a free-ranging discussion about life, liberty and the pursuit of sound Constitutional fundamentals. Badnarik was the Libertarian candidate for President in 2004. He ran for Congress in Texas in 2006. Cleveland ran for Governor of Iowa as a Libertarian.

Other guests today include (2pm) State Senator Becky Schmitz, Huffington Post entertainment contributor Mike Ragogna talking about his part in WOB's production of South Pacific and his upcoming interviews on KRUU with Jimmy Webb, Dweezil Zappa, Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo, and more, visiting journalist Elisabeth Brown and Go Green comission member Bob Ferguson.  Next week it's Elisabet Humble of Pathfinders and Farmers Market.

First time I met you
Felt that I'd known you for a lifetime
~ Magic, Emily Zuzik

It seems like Emily Zuzik can do pretty much anything! Currently based in New York, she is a singer, songwriter, journalist, voiceover artist and fit model. Her songs have appeared in TV and movies.  She has written with artists such as Moby, Wes Hutchinson, UK dj duo REFIX, Tim Lefebvre, Art Hays, Tom Glynn and Marwood.

Lay down your pirate flags I'm secretly glad
to have washed up beside you
~ Pirate Song, Rosie Burgess Band

Running a grassroots independent record label, touring internationally, recording a new album and working on two musical projects might seem a lot to some, but to Australian Rosie Burgess, being busily up to her ears in the music scene comes as naturally as breathing.

Tune in to Lyrical Venus on Tuesday, June 29th from 9-10 am Central to get to know both of these super-talented women a little bit better! Emily will be calling at 9am, Rosie at 9:30am.

You can have your cake and eat it too, Sam! My son turned 25 this week, and so we honor him, and Special k, and Tony Stenger, and through them, to all of the other birthday boys and girls. Oh yes, I am a great uncle again. My nephew Andy just had an 8 pound 5 ounce baby boy, Walter Jackson Dean Garles ( I am making that name up, he is unnamed as of yet!) Congratulations to them all, and, oh yes, I am live in the studio doing a show completely given to me by Sam. All the songs were suggested by Sam, and about half provided by Sam. The other half, I had to extend the underground passageways to obtain....(dig, dig, dig, diggety dig). I would be hugely surprised if anyone out there had heard songs by every one of these bands, we have some obscure stuff coming your way. Part One this week of another three part show which I detailed last week in the blog. You can celebrate the day by tuning in to your favorite radio station and hunkering down in our groove. The G Man

When the playlist magically appears at 12:01 tonight, I am thinking you won't get up to read it, but at your leasure check out the list, and last weeks list, for a clue as to how I roll these days.

The first song of the day is a wonderfully complex tale both lyrically and musically by the Electric Prunes. What follows a good pruning? Well, in my experience, wild growth!

Enjoy....The G Man

'Your Saving Grace' opens the show Thursday at 2 PM, and from there, well, you will just have to hang on for the ride. I have both Bob Dylan, and Birds & Batteries, from their latest releases. I have a song from the CD of the Month from last month, and this month.

I have Neil Young and Canned Heat shuffling along with some gur-ate blues. I got James Brown, and the 5th Dimension song that got cut of the hottub show due to technical difficulties. The last half hour I am particularly excited about, because I have a sequence of songs I found that relate a curious narrative like the kind I would have if I were the G Man.

Hah, I am the G Man! I am the only government you will ever need on Planet Rock & Roll. Listen and see if you can ponder what I am pondering these days...  :)

I am laying in bed here listening to Fringe Toast (Thanks Andy!), and remembering what a great time I had last week doing the show. I was just looking in the Journal of Theoretics, and it states that "If an object is being rotated in a subspace around a singularity then it experiences a centripetal force. This force will throw the object to the inside towards infinity." Object=record, subspace= studio, singularity=G Man. Infinity! Yes! In our seeking the center of all things, what better way to enjoy the ride than to listen to some killer rock and roll along the way.....This weeks show is divided among 8 different bands, each with a little mini set. We kick off the show with The Allman Brothers Band, and a happy little ditty called Blue Sky. Then its on to Al kooper, Chicago, and Clinic for the rest of hour one. Hour two kicks off with Badly Drawn Boy doing a song called The Shining from the album Hour of the Bewilderbeast.

G Man here, bringing you another fun and interesting session this week. I absolutely love this album by The Turtles. They put together this disc and acted like they were 11 different bands. The ensuing battle being each band trying to win the competition. Well, the music is great, and of course their sense of humor is over the top. I am going to put a slightly different spin on the whole process. Instead of playing the album start to finish, I am going to play a song off the album, and then play a song or songs by other bands that are in the same genre of music, rock, country, bluegrass, ballad, whatever. Instead of the usual short battle you would attend, you are getting a 2 hour version of a battle of the bands. So I am playing the 12 songs on the Turtles album in order, with breaks for other bands in between. I am going to list the songs by the fake name of the band in the playlist, so you can laugh about those, too.

This picture sort of looks like what the music I am playing would look like if you could see it. Kind of trippy, actually. I am going to play a song from the CD of the Month.

I am going to play some obligatory Green Pajamas.

I am going to try to emulate on of my early DJ heroes, Clyde Clifford of the old KAAY, Little Rock, Arkansas.

And I am going to be live in the studio doing it, so stop by and experience more than just a little centripetal force...

The G Man

Listen in to some ultra cool, jazz, blues and rock tracks from film scores long gone by from the '50s & 60's. Elmer Bernstein, Franz Waxman, Jerry Goldsmith, Ronald Stein, Alexander Courage & Les Baxter feature their amazing talents.

From the Hot Jazz Score for 'Hot Rod Rumble' to some credible rock & roll dance music of 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman' to Les Baxter's "swinging, noirish big band sounds for Ray Milland's gritty every-man-for-himself doomsday drama" 'Panic in Year Zero' to Franz Waxman’s sizzling energy exploding from the very first note in 'Crime In The Streets' - Tune in to this special one of a kind show you won't hear anywhere else! Wed April 14 3-4pm.
