MARATHON #1 (1/6) - Gothics for December 18, 2010
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
This is a fill-in by Sam Scozzari for John Scott's Underground Radio (Friday's Gothic Blimp Works) with a follow on of the Friday All Night Show, making this a DJ-shift of 6 hours from Midnight to 6am. It is not to be confused with the station "marathons" that are fund drives to raise money from listeners. With six hours of show, things tend to get deep. In the first of six hours, the program features quasi-inspirational music taken from the late October 2010 release, Come And Get It: The Best of Apple Records, a 17-disc box set that issues remasters of 15 non-Beatles, non-solo, and non-Yoko albums released by the Apple label from 1968-1974. This hour features a bonus track from the Modern Jazz Quartet, some interesting modern music from John Tavener's Celtic Requiem album, James Taylor's "Greensleeves" link into "Something Wrong" from his first album, James Taylor (issued on Apple!), Mary Hopkin with "International" for Earth Song/Ocean Song, Billy Preston's version of "My Sweet Lord" (the original version), and a bonus track from Doris Troy, who release one album on Apple. Later in the first hour, a 20-minute taste of The Band Wagon is featured, with unsigned artists being exposed to the Friday/Saturday midnight listening audience. This episode was aired on December 18, 2010, from Midnight to 1:00 AM. This six-part sequence of programming represents a strong cross section of the types of music and discussion featured on The Friday All Night Show. Other portions of the 6-part program can be found on the site.

TASTIER THAN THOU - It's My Vinyl!, July 17, 2010
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
This episode of It's My Vinyl features the LP Tasty by the Good Rats, released originally on Warner Bros. Records. The album used for this program was the original Warner Bros. pressing. The Good Rats, originally based in Long Island, had one album in the 1960s on Kapp Records, and then were signed to Warner Bros, and later Passport. When sales dropped (or failed to substantiate a record contract deal), they were dropped and founded Ratcity Records, which issued several of the out-of-print albums for a period of time. Since the digital age, many post-Kapp Good Rats albums are available on CD. Peppi Marchello, principal founding member and songwriter, also had a short stint in the 1980s producing Fiona for Atlantic Records. The Good Rats reunite with a modified personnel list, sometimes including offspring, from time to time and are known to perform in Metro NYC and sometimes upstate New York. They had a loyal fan base in the Rochester NY area and often played a nightclub there, the Penny Arcade. This program aired on July 17, 2010, between 4am and 5am, and is dedicated to my friend, Johnny Goldchains. PS - the Kapp album may be considered more rare than most of their other material.

NOT OZZY & Gershwin Rats - It's My Viny!! on 2010.07.10
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
Jeffery Osborne (not Ozzy) is featured on this episode of It's My Vinyl !!, along with the ballad, "Songwriter", from The Good Rats' Tasty album. The pressing used was the original Warner Bros. release before they (GR) were dropped and had reissued the album on their own Ratcity Records. Peppi Marchello references Gershwin in "Songwriter", thus the reference in our cheeky episode title. Other tracks include vinyl from Scritti Politti, Andreas Vollenweider, and some jazz from a cassette tape that appeared to be an in-store sampler for RCA Records. This program was aired between 4am and 5am on July 10, 2010.

Be an Old Soul...Bandwagon 2010.07.10
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
Saturday Apr 23, 2011
This episode of the Bandwagon features some great material coming from Johnny Society founding member Kenny Siegal's studio in Catskill NY, Old Soul Studios, as well as some ventures of his before the studio was in service...including (but not limited to) Kenny Siegal himself, his wife Gwen Snyder, known as Blueberry, and some other gems. In addition, you'll hear from Sam Scozzari, Resurrection, Exit 47, and many more unsigned acts. the program aired between 5am and 6am on July 10, 2010. Note: Wildman Wilson and his Wild Wilson Show can be heard on 24/7 Polka Heaven, an internet radio station. The rap in the program may not have been comprehensive enough to get you to him. Wildman Wilson was kind enough to upload a June 2010 episode of The Friday All Night Show, in its entirety, on his website, WildWilson dot com. He can also be heard at YouShook, another Internet station, with non-polka fun as well as the polka-thang. Big thanks to the Wildman for his support!! the program closed with Paul McCartney & MIchael Jackson perfoming the album version of "Say Say Say".
