I’m subbing for Miss Novak tomorrow (Wednesday, 1/28) on KOOP’s “Things That Go Rock,” so if you tune in from 3 to 4:30 you can hear me do a Jeckyll/Hyde routine. For my regular “Folk Bazaar” segment (3 - 3:30) I’m spotlighting dreamy instrumental acoustic guitar music, after which I’ll crank up the studio monitors, slam down the accelerator, and not look back until 4:30. Tune in for the Ponys, Yu Grupa, Subs and more. 91.7 FM in Austin, or streaming live on the web at koop.org.

I made two contributions to Pop Matters’ “Slipped Disc” feature, which catalogs 60 albums that some folks feel were foolishly left off of their “Best of the Year” list. My concise raves concern the Fleshtones’ Take a Good Look and Brian Wilson’s That Lucky Old Sun. Surprised?

Still piecing things back together over here, but I wanted to be sure to plug the Jody Reynolds tribute podcast over at Stanislav’s Little Lighthouse. Reynolds, who died of cancer last November, gave us a number of unbelievably moody, beyond-classic songs during the late fifties/early sixties. He’s such a towering figure in my own mind that it’s hard to find the right words, but Stanislav does him up right. And I better come clean and mention that the podcast includes a performance I did of “The Fire of Love” on his radio show back in ‘06.
