Radio Show 123 Thursday August 20, 2015 9-11PM Eastern US Time WBKM.ORG
Words by Tim Lewis.
I just got back from my local music radio show on internet only WBKM.org. It touched on several styles of the great music we have in our town.
Songs before: Sisters – The Church Band Wuthering Heights – Kate Bush
From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. I want to thank Eric and Tony for giving me this chance to show off how great of a music scene we have. Thanks for the megaphone.
1.) Megaphone – Joshua Glass Music 2.) One From Two – Linda Bassick 3.) 1.21 Jigawatts – Wave of the Future
Last Saturday was the Girls Rock Vermont showcase at Higher Ground. I missed the show but love the energy that gets put into helping girls learn to form bands and learn about the music business. People like Samara Lark Brown, who sings with Wave, and Linda Bassick are among the many people who make it happen every year. Josh’s daughter was one of the performers. Also, I caught a couple of songs by Linda and her other band, Steady Betty, yesterday. They sounded great at the packed restaurant on the water. OK, this next set is just for fun. It’s dedicated to all of the working people out there.
4.) I Got A Job – Maryse Smith 5.) I Need A Raise – Cave Bees 6.) Rejected – Black Rabbit 7.) I Quit – Blotto
Wow, that flowed nicely. Circle of the job life. OMG it’s so hot out. It’s been ’90’s for the last four days. Let’s go to the beach.
8.) Beach Song – Mr. Ray Fork 9.) Unveiled – Pours 10.) Ghost Train – Jerichovox (Dom Jerichovox)
Yesterday I stopped at Breakwaters for one beer with Steady Betty, went and saw Noodle and No Son Of Mine (metal bands) at Twofourtwo Main, then went over to Radio Bean and caught a lovely set by Jericho. That Pours song sounds so liquid it feels like you are in the water. OK, let’s play the next song from JV, the brilliant album from The Mountain Says No.
11.) Hard Times White Winds – The Mountain Says No 12.) Sober – Vedora 13.) Into The Light – Great Western
Western played a pretty smoking show at Manhattan Pizza and Pub last Saturday. Any chance that song they closed with will be recorded in time for my Halloween show later this year? After Western’s set, this next band followed with a killer show of their own.
14.) Burn Burn Burn – Phil Yates & The Affiliates 15.) Sexy Flowers – Peg Tassey MUSIC 16.) L.S. Dee – Dee Claw and Al Hotchkiss
Cool song from La Dee of Persian Claws fame. There are sexy flowers all over Burlington right now. OK, let’s jump back a bit for some classing Burlington.
17.) Gentle Rain – Jennifer Hartswick 18.) The Slow One – Ellen Powell 19.) Moxie & Gin – Pine Island.
Hmm, interesting mixture. All three are local legends. This next band should be one soon.
20.) Calypskango – Binger 21.) By My Side – Kat Wright & The Indomitable Soul Band 22.) WalkingInCircles – Raq
That song just wants to make me bounce around and smile. Killer super cool song from Kat and the band. She sounded great singing with Steady Betty yesterday. If I’d had a bit more energy yesterday, after Jerichovox at the Bean I would have gone to Nectar’s to see Binger. OK, let’s rock. Here is the song I meant to play last week.
23.) Ornan’s Song – Dirty Blondes 24.) MSP2 – ROUGH FRANCIS 25.) Green Peaks Dark Valleys – Get A Grip 26.) Weapons Factory – The Wards with the Dirty Blondes
Oh yes, Burlington can really rock. Well, I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we? Oh, wait, I have a couple of minutes left. Sayonara.
27.) Sayonara – Black Rabbit Outro
Promo
Songs after: So Fellini – Fish Speed Of Light – Iron Maiden
