Join me tonight at 8pm ET for a special edition of Local Lixx on WOXY.com. This evening Kyle Melton of the music blog Buddah Den out of Dayton joins me in studio for an hour long version of Local Lixx. Kyle has chosen some of his favorite stuff from the Dayton scene and the two of us will be playing the songs and chatting about them from 8-9ET.
And if you missed last week’s episode, you can download it right now below, full tracklisting and previous episodes can be had right here as well.
Every Wednesday at 6p, we turn things over to our friends at London’s Artrocker magazine for 90 minutes of some of the latest music buzzing in the UK underground. Your host, Paul Artrocker, co-founded the legendary Too Pure label, so he knows a thing or two about discovering new talent.
You can always catch each week’s show on its repeat on Saturday night at 6, or listen whenever you like on-demand via the Artrocker page from the WOXY website.
In the meantime, check out last weeks episode right now below!
The legendary and charismatic leader of The Clash, Joe Strummer, loved to listen to music on the radio, and had dreamed to one day spin records for the BBC World Service, where he heard the latest UK hits over the shortwave band as a teenager in Africa.
He finally got his wish in 1998, when the World Service premiered Joe Strummer’s London Calling, a series of programs featuring one man and his eclectic record collection. His playlists spanned the globe and featured many of the rock, reggae and folk artists that inspired The Clash, including Woody Guthrie, Bo Diddley, Big Youth, and even a few old Clash nuggets.
WOXY.com is happy to bring you Joe Strummer’s London Calling, presented in 4 two-hour programs that include all 14 of Joe’s original half-hour BBC programs. Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers) hosts the series. It starts this Sunday at 10am on The Future of Rock & Roll.
We got to know this Chicago band about two years ago when they were still known as What Four. A submission to our Unsigned specialty show at the time earned them a fair amount of WOXY airplay.
Now, they’ve officially changed their name, added a cellist, and had their full-length album Sylvia mixed by Grammy-winning producer Ed Stassium.
With a strong classical influence and a rock edge that should appeal to fans of Muse, this performance starts off with the first tune we ever heard from the band and then goes on to include several cuts from their new album.
Track Listing:
Prelude No. 1 In D Minor
Exit Here - interview -
Down In Mexico (Coasters cover, not included in podcast)
Sylvia II
Velvet Sky
