You Know Who... Is Doing a Quick One Today

Sly Stone  1943-2025
(Photo by Amalie R. Rothschild)
 Wow. Sly Stone. That was a big one. Not completely surprising, sadly, but still a profound loss. I wish I had more time to pull together some nice rare cuts in celebration, but that Fillmore East version of “Dance to the Music was a burner.
Aside from that, it was a shorter show than usual, but I would argue not a wasted moment.
What else? Well, after 232 shows, I finally played a Billy Joel song.
Funniest moment:
Stiv Bators: “Teddy Kennedy is sleeping with Jodie Foster.”

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 ...
