TnJ 150 (12/30/10)

EXPANDO!!! The show ran 3 hours so John “Frogville” Treadwell could wait for the snow on his steep driveway to melt safely. Goodbye, 2010! We’ll miss you (^_^), or will we? Mwa-Ha-HAH!

-HOUR ONE-

Guest-Toast David Del Mauro returns with a sampling of his favorite 2010 sounds…

Audio > Rocco singing “Del Mauro Boys” a capella
THE BLACK KEYS – Black Mud (2010 Brothers)
RAY LaMONTAGNE and the PARIAH DOGS – God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise (2010 God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise)
ARCADE FIRE – Modern Man (2010 the Suburbs)
Audio > clip from the film “The Other Guys”
RYAN ADAMS & the CARDINALS – Breakdown into the Resolve (2010 III/IV)
KINGS of LEON – Charmer (2007 Because of the Times)
KINGS of LEON – the Face (2010 Come Around Sundown)

THE HOLD STEADY – Rock Problems (2010 Heaven Is Whenever)
GOLD PANDA – Snow & Taxis (2010 Lucky Shiner)

The list here doesn’t fully represent the smooth, creative blending of sounds David managed to accomplish. I tried to let him steer as much as possible without looking over his shoulder, but the parts I did manage to hear reminded me of the olden days of creative radio. I rarely get to hear other DJs shoot for that aesthetic, and I quite enjoyed it – thank you, David.

PHISH COVER STONES AGAIN

From phish.com:

On Thursday, May 13th, Phish will be the musical guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as part of the show’s Rolling Stones’ “Exile on Main Street” week (each night of the week a different band will cover a song from the classic Stones album). This will be the band’s first televised late-night appearance since 2004.

# # #

So, obviously, this calls for some Phish flashbacks from last Halloween's Indio, CA show (where they covered "Exile" in its entirety). I started digging and found a bunch of other band's Stones covers as well, and then I thought, "Why not just do a whole 'covers' show?" So, tune in this Thursday for a great batch of covers, some Stones-related, some not. Yeah, I know it's not Halloween or New Year's, but what the heck?

(^_^) TOAST
