LouieB Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Back at you again today July 12 at 12-2 PM Central time on WNUR.org or 89.3 I got requests and I'm dipping back into Zappa (saw the movie), Bowie (by request), new music from case,lang, viers, as well as brand new music from Lydia Loveless and pretty new music from White Mystery. Also it's the 37th anniversary of Disco Demolition so I unearthed a few favorite (???!!?!) disco songs (tune in to find out what on earth I actually like), jazz from Stan Getz and Gil Evans, and maybe the Banditos doing Put a Spell on You. This is going to be a load of fun including some surprises of different sorts (spoken word and modern classical). LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Trying to lighten everyone's loads in this dark hour, I am taking back to the airwaves (WNUR.org 89.3 and TuneIn) on July 19 at 12-2 PM central time; I will do my best to make you forget the world's troubles. This week I have invited in my record selling buddy Carter to help me spin crazy 45s for two straight hours. We have collected the "cream " of the vinyl detritus and will play lots of crazy material you have never heard before and may never want to hear again. This is going to be some raucous fun with little or unknown artists from the soul, funk, rockabilly, pop, novelty, and other genres. If you like the crazy and bizarre this will be your show. Thanks in advance for listening tomorrow. It will be way more fun than working, I promise. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Okay back on track. Maybe Shoshtakovich wasn't for everyone but this Tuesday August j9, should have something for everyone. I am doing three hours starting at 11 AM to 2 PM on WNUR.org, TuneIn or 89.3 in Chicago. The first hour will be all jazz because that is usually what the station plays during the morning. The jazz segment will have Keith Jarrett, Fred Anderson, two versions of Cherokee including the original by Charlie Barnett and the new one by Kamasi Washington, Dylan tunes done jazz style, and some odds and ends. The two hours of the MIdday Mixtape will include Robyn Hitchcock, The Highwaymen, Mother Earth, sensitive female singers, Brazilian music (for the Olympics), more Numero singles, and Chicago rock group Twin Peaks. Join me for some of this won't you? And I do take requests from listeners for the following week. Thanks. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 That looks good, but since I haven't yet played your last two suggestions yet (but will), and don't own this (feel free to send me a copy), you will have to be content with the crazy stuff I play today October 25th at 12-2 on CT. Will get on one of your requests today. Listen at noon -1 your time I think for Chicken Shack. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I don't own it. It was just a Youtube find. I may get it at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well tune in today. Chicken Shake is leading off the show. Will give you a shout out. For this ramshackle show today (just got back from a trip last night), I am throwing together some gospel, Flat Five, Sarah Vaughn, Blodwyn Pig, Yo La Tengo, Tortoise, Nick Lowe, Joe Strummer, Bruce, Ministry, Andrew Hill, and a bunch of other crazy stuff. It's going to be a big hot mess. . LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I missed it by seconds. I take it one of those gurls reading the news is from Illinois or Chicago at least. I ain't voting for Trump. Although the majority of the state probably will be voting for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 I really liked your suggestion. Will play it again sometime and did give you a shout out. The news is a mixed blessing. I have no idea where they are from, but they always show up just a few minutes late, which is irritating. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
