Tentative date for Talk of the Nation: 11/11/04, 3pm EST.
The Radio Interview to End All Radio Interviews. (Later to be renamed "A Salute to Everyone Who Was Ever on the Radio".)
And to answer your question, Hayden, no, I haven't started.
The Fugs were a blast last night. Tuli must still be in his seventies because he did a rewrite of "Teenager in Love": "If you want to make me cry/It isn't very hard to do/If you say "Fuck off!"/I'll still whack off to you/Each night I ask the [stars/moon/satellite] above/Why must I be a septuagenarian in love?"

I'm a little worried after the transcription of my interview with Jay Ferguson from Sloan. "..like, you know..." Ack. Not a trained speaker.
I did well in my KFOG interview, but that's because I was (a) in studio and (b) there were four professionals in the room with me to keep me on track and cogent.
Cool David. Is Talk of the Nation on NPR? Can we hear that online?

More to the point, can we call in and harass? :)
sitting by radio expectantly
My blog is being inundated with hits, thanks to a picture I stole from Andy Axel. Got a link from Daily Kos and a buncha other political site. Kinda cool!
BTW thanks all for the feedback on TV on the Radio. I'm listening to
desperate youth
right now, and it is fantastic.
Holy moly, I've been watching the documentary
Heartworn Highway
which was shot in '75-76 and recently came out on DVD. It was about the (then) new outlaw/Austin country movement of that time, and covers a lot of musicians I had on my last mix. Lots of Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, David Allan Coe (with a totally freakass story about almost getting raped in prison, which he's performing in a prison while wearing earrings and covered in prison tattoos and a rhinestone suit), Steve Young (my new fav from that era), a very young Rodney Crowell and - the whoa part - a so-young Steve Earle that I didn't recognize him. "Who the hell is that skinny punk with the long greasy hair?"
Recommended. There are some amazing scenes, like Townes Van Zandt bringing his neighbor (an old black guy about 79, who still works as a blacksmith shoeing horses) to tears with a song, and Guy Clark doing guitar repair. Just a real insight into that era/scene. Plus lots of great music.
Huh. There are enough extra musical scenes on this DVD to double the length of the entire thing. John Hiatt and Steve Earle; Townes and Rodney Crowell. David Allan Coe and a trio of black gospel singers from the prison population.
