3 jaar geleden zat Otto-Jan al eens bij ons toen hij zijn Hi my name is Jonny Polonsky film kwam voorstellen en vandaag is hij bij ons voor een compleet andere maar minstens even goede reden. Hij maakte met Drugs Dus een uiterst interessante documentaire waarin hij met een open geest op zoek gaat naar de waarheid over legale en illegale roesmiddelen. Wie de vorige aflevering zag weet dat wij fan zijn van OJ en dat is vandaag weer niet anders. En geen paniek, het gaat ook een beetje over de andere dingen die deze man in het dagelijks leven uitvreet. Aanrader. Drugs Dus is te zien op Streamz.
In 1996, Jonny Polonsky greeted the world with his debut album 'Hi My Name is Jonny' on Rick Rubin's American Recordings Label. Since then, Jonny has continued to be a prolific singer/songwriter by writing catchy melodies, releasing solo albums, and collaborating with artists like Neil Diamond, Frank Black and Johnny Cash-- to name a few. That's why I was happy to invite Jonny on Waterproof Records this week to hear about the albums that changed his life, how he used the telephone to track down rock and roll mentors, and why it's always about the songwriting.

It's great to have an old friend on the show — and this week we've got Jonny Polonsky. Lucky you. This is a great episode where we talk to the great singer-songwriter-studio rat about moving to and prospering in LA, growing up as a backstage-teenaged Chicago presence, bossing around Rick Rubin, Mark Lanegan, playing on a Neil Diamond session, being Frank Black's boy, Chris Cornell & Dio, Gabe as Sid Haig, and Jonny's great new record that comes out June 7 on Loosegroove records.
Jonny Polonsky in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.jonnypolonsky.com/ https://jonnypolonsky.bandcamp.com/music Polonsky began writing, recording and self-releasing homemade cassettes as a teenager, under the name The Amazing Jonny Polonsky. Marc Ribot introduced New York composer John Zorn to these early tapes, and Zorn invited Polonsky to play his New Jewish Music festival in 1992 at CBGB's Gallery. Polonsky's band featured Marc Ribot on guitar, Sebastian Steinberg (Soul Coughing) on bass, and Sim Cain (Rollins Band) on drums. Of that performance, singer Jeff Buckley (who was in attendance) was later quoted as saying, "He came to CBGB's Gallery and ripped it up...He killed 'em...The charm of it is that he's brought it into his own thing. It's a nice miniature. He does it with soul; you can tell the difference between someone who just slips into The Beatles or something and someone like him."
On today's show, guitarist and songwriter Lorne Behrman explains how he weathered through the pandemic in New York City, has a conversation about marriage and fatherhood, and talks about sobriety, A.I. & Chat GPT, his new album and more. Lorne also performs a couple of songs: BARBARA and YOU DON'T KNOW ME LIKE THAT. GUEST OVERVIEW: Lorne Behrman is a Punk rock n' roll guitarist and singer-songwriter songwriter who has previously played in The Dimestore Haloes, L.E.S. Stitches, The Dead Tricks, and The Sweet Things. Lorne's most recent album - his second as a solo artist - BLUE LOVE (Spaghetty Town Records) is an 11-song collection featuring "a series of New York City vignettes haunted by shadows but guided by light." The stories on BLUE LOVE are literate and lacerating, recalling the street poetics of Lou Reed, Jim Carroll, Jesse Malin, Patti Smith, Hubert Selby Jr., and Tom Waits. The songs feature stark and fluid guitar playing in the spirit of Television, The Stooges' James Williamson, Johnny Thunders, and Robert Quine with Lou Reed. Previously, Lorne issued a critically-acclaimed EP and debut album that have garnered accolades and features in Classic Rock Magazine, Vive Le Rock Magazine, Metronome, Glide Magazine, New Noise, Goldmine, and taste-making punk mag Razorcake. Lorne has played shows with Richard Lloyd (Television), Jeremy & the Harlequins, Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), Jonny Polonsky, Adam Masterson, Lulu Lewis, and Diane Gentile, among many others. https://www.lornebehrmanmusic.com/

Bullies In The Backyard,” North's second LP, features 10 songs written under the cloud of a seven-year lawsuit Matt's family ultimately won against Nashville Public Schools due to violations against his son's special needs. The Federal Court verdict changed precedents and now benefits families nationwide facing similar challenges. No, it's not 10 songs about special education, but with no work in sight for recording or live shows due to Covid, Matt enlisted himself at Nashville's Home Depot to support his family and spent the rest of his time recording “Bullies In The Backyard” in his home studio. Just like Guy Patterson in the iconic film “That Thing You Do,” Matt found himself selling appliances when he'd rather be drumming. Mixed by Grammy-winning producer, Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco, Los Lobos) and mastered by Pete Lyman (Tom Waits, Chris Stapleton, Weezer), the record features appearances from Jonny Polonsky and Jesse DeNatale alongside Matt's core band of Nashville A-listers: Stuart Mathis (Lucinda Williams, The Wallflowers) – guitars Chris Donohue (Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris) – bass Michael Webb (John Fogerty, Chris Stapleton) – keyboards North grew up playing gigs in Champaign, Illinois; starting as a teenager drumming with the late Jay Bennett of Wilco and Coltrane bassist, Rafael Garrett. He dropped out of The University of North Texas in 1990, forfeiting his music scholarship to join the University of Illinois Jazz Band for a tour of Russia alongside bassist, Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett, Indigo Girls). Moving to San Francisco, he worked as a fact-checker for Mother Jones Magazine, played in garage bands, and wound up roommates with comedians Patton Oswalt and Mitch Hedberg in the Haight for some two years. At 26, North was signed as a writer to the William Morris Agency by manager, Dave Becky, whose roster included Marc Maron, Louis C.K., Dave Attell, and Chris Rock. Matt moved to Los Angeles, and began composing songs, answering “Drummer Wanted” ads, and writing a screenplay, Best Western; the latter won multiple awards, and led to regular work as a story analyst – a skill he's transferred into songwriting. In 2000, North starred opposite James Woods in the Golden Globe-winner “Dirty Pictures” directed by Frank Pierson (writer of Cool Hand Luke, Dog Day Afternoon) was soon hired by Larry David to guest star in “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Matt's chief focus remained on producing music and raising his son who was born with learning challenges due to a rare chromosomal disease. During his time in Los Angeles and Nashville he performed live and recorded with the following: Matt's Info http://www.mattnorth.net /https://mattnorthofficial.bandcamp.com/releases

This week Darren has a great interview with the supremely talented and awesome singer/songwriter Jonny Polonsky. Jonny talks about first seeing David Lee Roth and Van Halen on MTV when he was 8 years old, learning Van Halen songs on guitar, Dave as a cultural influence, pursuing passions, the rock & roll lifestyle that used to be versus today, and much more. Born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in suburban Wilmette, Illinois, Jonny Polonsky began writing, recording and self-releasing homemade cassettes as a teenager. Filled with smart rock and pop melodies, these cassettes landed in the hands of influential artists he admired, like Reeves Gabrels, Zander Schloss and Frank Black, who helped Jonny do a demo tape and find a manager. Soon the tapes got him a deal with Rick Rubin's American Records, and his debut album "Hi My Name Is Jonny" was released in 1995. Subsequent albums and musical projects included Jonny working with the Brad Wilk and Tim Comerford (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave), Maynard James Keen from Tool, including joining Keen's side project Puscifer. As a studio musician he's appeared on albums by Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, The Dixie Chicks, and Pete Yorn. His latest album "Power and Greed and Money and Sex and Death" was released in 2020, recorded during the COVID-19 lockdown in his aparment. For more info visit JonnyPolonsky.com.
Otto-Jan Ham is al jaren presentator, Radio DJ, TV-maker en zeer geliefd bij ons door programma's als De Ideale Wereld en Over de Oceaan dat nu te zien op is #play4 . Sinds kort kan daar ook filmmaker aan toegevoegd worden, want samen met camera-man Sjoerd Tanghe maakte hij recent de fenomenale muziekdocumentaire "Hi, my Name is Jonny Polonsky" over muzikant Jonny Polonsky die op de jonge Otto-Jan Ham zo'n indruk maakte dat hij er jaren later deze film over draaide. Wie de docu reeds zag weet dat het niet allemaal even vlekkeloos verliep, maar dat het niemand onberoerd liet is inmiddels duidelijk. Een geweldige aanrader dus met extra info door de maker zelf, maakt wat ons betreft een zeer goede aflevering. Hi, my Name is Jonny Polonsky nog te zien op VRT.Nu tot 6 februari via https://www.vrt.be/vrtnu/a-z/hi-my-name-is-jonny-polonsky/2021/hi-my-name-is-jonny-polonsky/
26 de diciembre de 2020Nada mejor que Alice Cooper que sigue rocking and rolling como cuando empezó en los 70 del pasado siglo. Ahora con una versión de sus coetáneos Velvet Underground (Lou Reed) con el gran Steve Hunter que la conoce al dedillo. Seguimos con The Cadillac Three y su country rock psicodélico y picante que se preguntan ¿dónde hay un bar aquí? Y Matthew Sweet libera otra nueva canción de su futuro disco Catspaw al tiempo que recordamos el homenaje a John lennon de JEM Records con los Weeklings, los Gripweeds o Jonathan Pushkar. JEM también publica a los Bookends que con su portada psicodélica nos devuelve a un tiempo pasado de altas botas. La compositora de Los Ángeles Coco Reilly explora nuestra comprensión a veces defectuosa de nosotros mismos en la nueva canción "Oh Oh My My", de su próximo álbum de debut homónimo. Hayley Mary pop rockera indie australiana, mejor conocida como la líder de The Jezabels, escribió la canción The Chain después de darse cuenta de que la gira que había planeado probablemente estaba condenada al fracaso. Tres canciones más de pop rock power pop con Jonny Polonsky, los Weeklings y los Bookends van a dejar la pista libre para el soul de Devin B. Thompson y el blues del rubio Kenny Wayne Shepherd. ¡Prepárate para mañana, rock and roll!⦁ Alice Cooper, Rock & Roll⦁ The Cadillac Three, Tabasco & Sweet Tea⦁ The Cadillac Three, Bar Round Here⦁ Matthew Sweet, Give A Little⦁ The Weeklings, The Word ⦁ The Weeklings, What's the New Mary Jane? ⦁ The Gripweeds, Strawberry Fields Forever⦁ Johnathan Pushkar, I Call Your Name ⦁ The Bookends, She's Got It⦁ Coco Reilly, Oh Oh My My⦁ Hayley Mary, The Chain⦁ Jonny Polonsky, Completely Surrounded by Love ⦁ The Weeklings, Running Away⦁ The Bookends, Face The Facts⦁ Devin B.

Originally from Chicago and now living in New York City, singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Jonny Polonsky has released six full-length records in the last 23-years before releasing his latest LP "Kingdom of Sleep" early this year. This album was mixed and mastered by Mike Tholen (Chris Connelly, Revolting Cocks). It was self-produced by Polonsky on Ghostworks Recordings. Polonsky has worked with many talented musicians through the years and performed on albums by Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Tom Morello, Pete Yorn, Dixie Chicks, Minnie Driver, Donovan, Mark Lanegan, Maynard James Keenan, Francis Black, Kevin Haskins, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and many others. His latest single, "You Turn Me On" is remixed by Jim Sclavunos, one of the members of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Grinderman. Some of the themes explored in his music are "songs of sex and death and love...hymns of despair and transcendence. A celebration of what it feels like to be human; from the exalted, grandest moments of euphoria and bliss, to the universal pain of loss and letting go. Beauty at every turn."https://www.jonnypolonsky.comhttps://jonnypolonsky.bandcamp.com

For the tens of thousands of bands who signed to a major label, put out a record, scored a minor hit and disappeared, there just as many divergent stories of what happened after the temporary spotlight dimmed. In the case of Jonny Polonsky, his tale started in the suburbs of Chicago, home recording cassette albums as a teen in his bedroom and dialing up famous guitarists for feedback, which lead him to move to Boston, the support of Frank Black of the Pixies, and a deal with Rick Rubin's American Recordings. His 1996 debut Hi My Name Is Jonny scored a college radio hit with "In My Head," but like so many in the mid and late 90s music industry machine, the churn happened quickly and soon after he find be looking to new outlets for releasing music and relocating to Los Angeles to start anew. There is a chance you've heard or seen Jonny in the 2000s without even realizing it, playing on records by Pete Yorn, Puscifer, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Minnie Driver and more, while hitting the road with many more. Jonny shares with us his story, his approaches to songwriting, recording, learning new instruments, his love of David Bowie's side-project Tin Machine, and much much more.
