Internet radio peeps!  I'll be appearing on "Everybody Plays The Fool" TONIGHT (Mon Feb 12) at 9pm EST on Radio Free Brooklyn with host Shane Gasteyer.  Tonight's theme is bass, so Shane and I will be serving up a bass-centric playlist and some fine bass talk.

ESPECIALLY FOR US 

An "audio love letter" to The Smithereens' 1986 debut album "Especially For You." 

Q104.3 FM's Maria Milito is more than just a "classic rock" DJ.  She's a heritage radio personality in the #1 radio market in the USA (New York), on the only classic rock station in that market!  We had a lively discussion at the Q104 studios in NYC that included my lovely wife Jill, herself a radio industry veteran.  We talk about Maria's background and history in NYC radio, and the state of "classic rock" today and in the future.  

Bassist, producer and recording artist Adam Dorn was born into a strong musical lineage, but forged his own unique path to success.  We talk about our respective experiences at Berklee, his tutelage under uber-bassist/producer Marcus Miller, and the ups and downs of the music business.

I needed to talk this morning about Tom Petty.  So I called my buddy, guitarist Benny Landa, for a rambling FM-radio-style chat about Tom, record stores, God knows what else and what it all means.  This one is long and winding, but it felt good to us so I hope you enjoy it. 

The co-founder of Easy Star Records and the Easy Star All-Stars talks about reggae, Judaism, and the craft and business of music.  A great "archive" talk from last year! 

Margot Bingham is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Daughter Maitland on Boardwalk Empire, but Daughter only scratches the surface of her inspired creativity.  We had a lengthy and long-overdue conversation about maintaining an artistic identity and doing the work.  You can also listen to her on The Come Up Podcast with Margot and Cassie! 

While serving as the bassist for the 2013 "Happy Together" tour, I started interviewing the principal artists for Radio 418.  These legendary musicians were living healthy, happy and vital lives as men in their "golden years," and I wanted to learn how they were doing it!  They were all gracious and generous with their time and wisdom, but my conversation with The Turtles' Howard Kaylan (the "Eddie" of Flo & Eddie) was particularly deep and insightful (as all of my talks with Howard are).  Enjoy this late night, FM-radio-style chat with a true showbiz "lifer" and one of the coolest cats ever.  

Our latest "archive" episode features Pugwash's Thomas Walsh.  It's a great conversation about the melodic music we both love, his upbringing in Ireland, and navigating the music business today.  

Mystina is an emerging dance music artist, singer and songwriter.  She’s also my bandmate here in NYC on weekends when it’s “time to make the donuts.”  We chatted over coffee in the city about her career thus far and the stuff we both like, and she educated me on Latin Freestyle. 

PLUS: a physical media rant.  (MILD PROFANITY NSFW.)
