Playlist for
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
February 29, 2008
Hosted by Greg Lyon on FRIDAYS at 2-4 pm
on WPVM Asheville (103.5 FM and www.wpvm.org)
This show is available for listening as an archive for one week after its airing at WPVM’s Archive Page (click on the STREAM button for this show–under the letter ‘G’)
Notes:
– Background music today was Billy Mure’s Super-Sonic Guitars, and I doubted on the air that it was in fact a stereo recording, but it most certainly is. Stereo vinyl records were first sold in 1958, and that’s when this LP was released–on RCA Victor Living Stereo.
– Polvo is reuniting and playing the Cat’s Cradle in Chapel Hill on May 10. In preparing this show, I decided that their music actually holds up pretty well compared to a lot of 90s indie rock, particularly other stuff from the Triangle scene.
– If I had listened to the Intelligence album, Deuteronomy, when it came out, it would have made my Best of 2007 list.
