For All of Your LIC Radio Needs…

It feels a little inappropriate that I should be starting this site. After all, LIC Radio was Walker’s baby. He brought together a community both of listeners and broadcasters that has been a source of light-hearted diversion in good times, and a source of comfort and connection in dark times. Yeah, I know I might be making it sound too significant for a platform that used to host a segment called “Fart of the Week,” but sometimes you need to get your head into the gutter in order to gaze at the stars. In any event, a while back a friend hit me with a “hey, what’s that song” kind of query, and asked if there was some kind of way I could post the playlists from the shows. Hence this blog. It may lack bells and whistles, and not nearly enough pornography to justify any use of bandwidth, but if you listen to a show (at least one of the “You Know Who…” segments) and want to know what that song was or who that artist was, it’s here. And if you didn’t listen to the show, there’s a link t...

You Know Who... Is Hungry for Power

Tony Williams Photo by Jan Persson I had tentatively been amassing recordings all week for this show, but it wasn’t until this morning that I was certain that I could do it. You know, computer issues and whatnot. Not to go too much into it, but after over a week of it being temperamental, today it seemed like it was finally willing to take a charge. In any event, I leaned a little harder on the “leftovers and backburners” folder, but the show must go on. And yeah, I started the show with Tony Williams again. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?   Click here to check it out: LIC Radio 6/29/2026     The New Tony Williams Lifetime "Fred" (Allan Holdsworth) Gabe & Walkers, Iowa City, IA, 3/3/76 Studio version released on Believe It   (Columbia, 1975)     Men at Work “Be Good Johnny“ (Colin Hay, Greg Ham) From Business as Usual   (Columbia, 1981)     Bonzo Dog Band "Sport (The Odd Boy)" (Vivian Stanshall) From Keynsham   (Liberty, 1969) ...

Tony Williams Photo by Paul Bergen Whatever combination of meds, tequila, and cheap rosé I was on today, I think it was by far the best batch of psycho-babble that I’ve ever allowed to stream out of me.

You Know Who... Gives Blood

James Blood Ulmer 1940-2026 Photo by Franz Schellekens Today Brett and I provided wonderful examples of the fallibility of human memory. I was forgetting songs from albums that I owned and for some reason I thought that The Posies’ “Open Every Window” was a cover of a Burt Bacharach and Hal David tune. Maybe I was thinking about “Look Out Any Window,” except that was a Bruce Hornsby song. Well, never mind. Brett had some impressive brain farts too, but appropriately I cannot recall them right now.   I know that I have been on a James Blood Ulmer kick lately, but that is only because I have stumbled onto a bunch of his recordings recently, and also that he fucking rules. That said, I had to recognize his passing on June 3 rd , news that strangely was not made public for almost a week.   Brett’s segment focused (if you can say that it was focused) on quirky pop forms: folk pop, sunshine pop, power pop, etc. We talked a bit about the phenomenon of Italian songs being rewritten as...
