You Know Who... Sends This One Out to Joe

-
Me and Joe, August 2010
I was two days into preparing for this week’s show before I was told that it was going to have to be bumped up a day. However, that wasn’t the most disruptive news I got this week. I found out on Sunday that my friend Joe Karoly, artist, musician, and LIC denizen, passed away last week. I was thrown for a loop, to say the least. In his memory I played a song by his old band, House of Commons. I wish I remembered half off the stories he’s told me over the years. I will miss him terribly.
As for the rest? I feel embarrassed to say that it might be true that I have not played any hip-hop on this show in the last seven years (I’ll have to look over the show log). And if that it true, I’m sadly ashamed to say that the first instance is a bunch of white dudes (i.e. Beastie Boys). Hey, at least it’s not Vanilla Ice.
Today was the birthday of Mic Gillette, trumpeter with Tower of Power. As they are (pardon my vulgarity) fucking awesome, it seemed only logical to devote the last third of the show to recordings that featured the TOP horns.
In the foreseeable future, You Know Who… shows will be on Tuesdays, so tune in then.
…Only if you want to.

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 ...
