You Know Who.. Is Trying a New Set-Up

-
And Brett is back! Not only that, I think we might have even come up with a rig that works. You know, one thing that I love about Brett is that he is not afraid to be completely random. The Mel Tormé cut for instance: Why did we play it? I don’t remember. Did we need to hear it? Not sure.
We also paid tribute to Rick Derringer, who passed away yesterday at the age of 77. (To be honest, however, he dropped off my radar somewhere between the first and second WWF Wrestling albums.)

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... Provides Some Sunshine on a Rainy Day

  I would say it was a good show today. The top of it paid tribute to multi-instrumentalist / songwriter / producer Andy Paley who died yesterday (11/20/24) at the age of 72. Plenty of stuff from this day from the folkier stuff to the darkly satirical. The end focused entirely on the late, great Alponse Mouzon, the legendary drummer who was born on this day in 1948.   Click here to check it out: LIC Radio 11/21/2024   Pink Floyd "Astronomy Dominé" (Syd Barrett) Casino de Montreux, Montreux, CH, 11/21/70 Studio version released on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn   (EMI Columbia, 1967)   Andy Paley 1952-2024 The Sidewinders “Rendezvous” (Andy Paley, Eric Rosenfeld) From The Sidewinders   (RCA, 1972)     The Paley Brothers “Turn the Tide” (Andy Paley, Leigh Foxx) From The Paley Brothers   (Sire, 1978)     The Paley Brothers “Come Out and Play” (Andy Paley, Leigh Foxx) From The Paley Brothers   (Sire, 1978)     The Beach ...
