Brooklyn trio Archie Pelago start off with a chilled jazzy track. Biologia (Joe Nunez) give us a modern disco track from their sole release, a 7″. Rx (a collaboration between Benedek and Delroy Edwards) continue with boogie sounds, as do Amsterdam, Netherlands based L33. At that point we start a good and proper rock show with some high-tailed glam (Brett Smiley, Bonnie St. Claire, Apple Pie & Custard), some NYC goodness (The Brats, ImpLOG, Chandra ), German pop on the awesome Firestation Tower label (Hot Rain, Monostars, The Vermont Sugar House, Shy) and who-knows-where-from reggae artist Sheila Rickards – there has been a private detective trying to find her and a documentary about it filmed but not released.

The first hour is a mostly-rock show, with a Stones cover by Pagans, then soon-after ‘Ode To a Stone’ from the Soul Jazz comp ‘Inner City Beat! Detective Themes, Spy Music And Imaginary Thrillers’. O’ Level and Jook keep us on track before we switch genres with the excellent Quad Throw Salchow track. The second hour is an electronic show. The second hour starts off with African artist but then moves to Quilla’s magical track in the Ricardo Villalobos remix form. I especially like the Solid State track near the end.

This originally aired as a pledge show on WZBC. It is a rock show in the beginning, a hip hop show at the end. The show starts with 1980 Don Christensen (drummer in The Contortions) as ImpLOG, then 1967 David Bowie covering Velvet Underground. James Williamson covers a 1977 Stooges gem with Austin TX artist Carolyn Wonderland, then two NYC bands come next. In the second hour, 7″s from the Originals label are sandwiched by an Athens Of The North 7″ at the start and the 1983 Bileo track at the end.
