...fading in from John Scott's Underground Radio, midnight to 3am, the show kicks off with the album version of "Hello It's Me" from Todd Rundgren, continues with a preview of unsigned artists Addie Browlee (originally featured on the now infamous suspended Nov 20 podcast of The Band Wagon), Caleb Hawley from NYC with a track from his new album We All Got Problems, and Kylie Edmund from Australia, Next is Rob Wasserman with a track from his Trios album featuring various trios with other artists, and a [Christmas?] collaboration he had with Edie Brickel and Jerry Garcia. As the program continues with some rather mainstream material (why not be alternative to alternative?): we hear "Ironic" (is situational or cosmic irony really irony or ironic-in-nature in the purest form of the word?) from Alannis Morissette, The Four Tops (two from the four!), and Shawn Colvin telling me to get out of her house, and rightly so if I had acted like that!! (a song I've always wanted to play on the radio - one can't play it too loud!). Remember Nu Shooz from Seattle ("I Can't Wait")? or Duran Duran from the early Y2Ks? The DD track is their 2004 "comeback" that is superior to their main catalogue from the 80s (my opinion, not a tangible fact). Wrap up the hour with another unsigned artist, Waty, a very signed artist, Roy Orbison, and a beautiful Jeff Lynee-produced track from Mystery Girl (George H on background vocals), and some country from 1994....
