Good stuff going on Wednesday at the Junction as Nick Devlin, owner of Long in the Tooth Records, sits in for the show, bringing some choice cuts from his great downtown vinyl shop. Got some keepers in my sack, too: psych blues from Muddy and Howlin' Wolf, Gil Evans covering Jimi Hendrix, music from the always reliable Mainstream label, plus more from the super heavy Miles Davis Japan concerts from 1975. Come on in!

Listen in horror as two G-Town Radio shows temporarily become one this Monday evening! Dr. Ranztron's Soul Junction and Reade McCardell's FEWSH shall merge for two mayhemic hours! Questions you may have about this happening: "What will happen?", "Will it be safe?", "What should I wear?!", "Will I get hungry?". Friends, we genuinely wish we knew the answers to these quandaries. Unfortunately, you'll just have to strap in and find out for yourselves. » FEWSH + SOUL JUNCTION = FEWSH JUNCTION!! « Monday March 26 - 6 to 8 PM EST |
