Stay tuned (10/3/2011)

Definitely more of the Jazz Violin Celebration and Grappelli & Menuhin LPs. I think more of Costello and Bad Plus needs to be explored. We'll return to punk with the anthologies I have now. Some Dead White Guys material (classical). Neighbor music (you'll see). And who knows what...

I think someone owes me a whiskey for the amount of sub-shows I've done this week.
I got a LOT of calls requesting this guy http://www.reverbnation.com/hp2street
The PiL and Radiohead went down well, and I learned about The Replacements from a caller.

Notes:

Wake Up by The Main Squeeze is the official sign-off track.
The studio version of Portobello Belle is terribly inferior to the live version in my opinion, but turntable #1 helped improve it slightly by getting stuck on 45rpm. I'll find the live version for the inevitable Dire Straits hour/show.
The Led Zepp II album is very well loved.
Don't mix up inner sleeves.
The 5 minute 'Trip to space' cart is quite nice for cresting the hour.
The box of local 45s is utterly invaluable.
