Esta semana, en Islas de Robinson... Volvemos a deambular por los 80 alternativos. En clave "underground". College rock, cruce de mareas entre la new wave, el tintineo jangle de guitarras, paisley underground, psicodelia, post punk, garage, algo incluso de raíces americanas, y siempre pop, fluido e independiente como pocos... otra corriente para quedarse a vivir en ella largo rato. Suenan: R.E.M - "PRETTY PERSUASION" ("RECKONING", 1984) / LET'S ACTIVE - "WATER PART" ("CYPRESS", 1984) / GAME THEORY - "24" ("REAL NIGHTTIME", 1985) / MIRACLE LEGION - "THE BACKYARD" ("THE BACKYARD", 1984) / DREAMS SO REAL - "DRIFTING AWAY" ("FATHER'S HOUSE", 1986) / UPS AND DOWNS - "WHERE IS THE SUN'" ("SLEEPLESS", 1986) / TROTSKY ICEPICK - "THE GASLIGHT" ("SUMMER POISON", 1986) / SWIMMING POOL Q'S - "SHE'S BRINGING DOWN THE POISON" ("SWIMMING POOL Q'S", 1984) / PYLON - "CRAZY" ("CHOMP", 1983) / MEAT PUPPETS - "PLATEAU" ("MEAT PUPPETS II", 1984) / THIN WHITE ROPE - "LITHIUM" ("EXPLORING THE AXIS", 1985) / TRUE WEST - "IT'S ABOUT TIME" ("HOLLYWOOD HOLIDAY", 1983) / 28TH DAY - "I'M ONLY ASKING" ("28TH DAY", 1985) / RAIN PARADE - "BLUE" ("EXPLOSIONS IN THE GLASS PALACE", 1984Escuchar audio

If you are a fan of the scene you are most likely going to come across this gentleman pretty soon upon hanging out for a bit, but unless you dive deep you won't know Chris. Talk about prolific, Chris Harford has been making amazing music since his high school days with no signs of stopping soon. Not only does he write, record and produce his own music, he also runs his own record label supporting other awesome independent artists and collaborators. You could keep digging into this guy's career all day and still not get to everything! For the sake of sanity, we stuck to a few points for this interview, and it will take us awhile to unpack all of these! We spoke with Chris about his early bands, including the cult favorite Three Colors, which he started in college with some fellow art students. The seminal album "Be Headed" that just happens to be the major label debut of some of our other musical friends being released in 1992. The independent record label "Soul Selects" that Chris and his friends started in the 80's and still run to this day. Living with Andrew Weiss and Sim Cain while the early Ween albums were being made, and Chris explains to everyone once and for all what the hell the "Zion House of Flesh" actually is!!Chris explains what it was like to be produced by Mickey and working on the Chocodog Records release of his record "Looking out for Number 6"; a true anomaly among the Chocodog and Schnitzel projects. We also talk about some of the really cool current projects that Chris has worked on within the last few years; like the Birdfeeder collaboration with Mark Mulcahy of Polaris and Miracle Legion. The very groovy instrumental record he made with the Philly based Jazz band Channel Collective, and his travels with Paul Muldoon and the rock-poetry group Rogue Oliphant. Please go to Soul Selects.com to see all of the available releases by the record label, and Chris Harford.com to download all of the catalog releases by Chris and his constantly evolving Band of Changes.Join us on Patreon.com for some more fun and exclusive material including the entire Chris interview where we discuss Chris' Dub project Blanc du Blanc, his thoughts on vinyl vs and download, and some other fun surprises! Also live is a new episode of Shane's Ween Vinyl featuring the Chris Album "Looking out for Number 6", its a cool mini-sode talking about the albums vinyl and some fun facts about the CD compared to the record. Thank You and Please enjoy!!!

Time to wrap up our New Wave Game and see if anyone survives! We're down to the final three volumes of the CD series Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80s, and either Kevin or Kornflake could still win. (But come on, our money is on Kornflake...) And we've reached the mid-80s, when there was no shortage of new wave hits in the Top 40. So we're talking about acts like Wang Chung, Thompson Twins, Katrina and the Waves, Animotion, Tears for Fears, Bananarama, and Men at Work. It seemed like nothing was off limits on the pop charts. A musical about chess? Sure. Vietnam-era news clips set to a dance beat? Absolutely. The Dream Academy had a hit that sounded like nothing else. Arcadia had a hit that sounded exactly like Duran Duran, and with good reason. There's even a trio of New England-area new wave bands represented here. (We all know 'Til Tuesday, but do you remember Miracle Legion? How about Rubber Rodeo?) So enjoy one last round of new wave madness, and then we can relax. Just like Frankie said.

“When The Storm Has Passed” With ten albums or so under their indie folk belts, The Great Lake Swimmers have consistently been one of the most arresting affecting and spellbinding bands around. The Canadian outfit introduced themselves to the world with their self-titled 2003 effort and since then have put out classics like New Wild Everywhere, The Waves, The Wake and the Juno-nominated Lost Channels, which was also shortlisted for the Polaris Prize. Sonically, the band bring to mind everyone from R.E.M to Teenage Fanclub to Miracle Legion. And throughout their songbook, singer Tony Dekker's poetic lyrics form a literate blend of ecology, environmentalism and good old fashioned romanticism. He's a potent triple threat. The band have also put out four live albums, four EPs and a covers album that features takes on numbers by The Rolling Stones, Tom Waits and NeIl Young and John Cale. Oh, and Dekker also has a marvelous solo album called Prayer of The Woods. The point here is that there's a healthy crop of Great Lakes Swimmers material for you to plunge into. But the music you're hearing on the program today is the band's first new music since 2019. It's been a while. But they're back and they've never sounded better. Their two new tracks—“When The Storm Has Passed” and “Moonlight, Stay Above”—feature Dekker's trademark poetic finesse and penchant for writing some of the catchiest and heartfelt songs on the planet. We're glad they're back! www.greatlakeswimmers.com www.greatlakeswimmers.bandcamp.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.embersarts.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com Twitter: @emberseditor Instagram: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

“For The Country” By the time Seth Tiven formed Dumptruck in 1983, he'd already had a few bands under his belt, including Saucers, a band he was in with fellow Connecticut pal Mark Mulcahy who would go on to form Miracle Legion. Tiven had relocated to Boston after graduating from Wesleyan and the supporting cast of Dumptruck had a few personnel changes, but changes aside. their first two albums D is For Dumptruck and Positively Dumptruck--both issued on Big Time--were two very strong entries to begin a career. Moody, dark and filled with jangle and melodic smarts, the band were lumped in with folks like R.E.M. and the Connells and rightfully so, as they were all kind of in the same sonic pocket. But it was 1987's For The Country, which featured new guitarist Kevin Salem who replaced singer/guitarist Kirk Swan, that really was their apotheosis. A stirring and angry collection that explored isolation and the geography of loneliness, For The Country bristled with confidence and indie rock grace. Tracks like Going Nowhere and Carefree demonstrated that Dumptruck were one of the most vital and stinging outfits out there. They played with the Replacements and Husker Du, had a growing fan base and were poised to take the next big step forward to the big time. And then the big time took that step forward and pushed it ten steps back. Not the big time, as in THE big time, but the big time as in Big Time Records. Dumptruck were crushing it but Big Time was getting crushed and were in tons of financial trouble. The label was free falling so the band's lawyer tried to sell their contract to Phonogram, Big Time got pissed and decided to sue Dumptruck for 5 million. This became a protracted legal battle and all the momentum Dumptuck had going for them was devoured. The resolution took years and a lot of money and in the end, Dumptruck prevailed. If you think most bands would have had a hard time recapturing the momentum that sidelined them after a thing like this went down, you would be right. And Dumptruck fell into that category. They never really found their swing again and broke up in 1991. Tracks they recorded during the legal battle were released as the Days of Fear album in '94, they put out Terminal in '98, Lemmings Travel to the Sea in 2001 and Wrecked in 2018. All great records, but it's hard not to think about what would have happened if Dumptruck had been allowed to maintain the momentum they'd managed. One never knows, but one thing I do know is that Seth Tiven is a truly nice guy and I'm so happy he answered the indie rock bat signal and came out for a chat. www.dumptruck-music.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com Stereo Embers The Podcast Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Miracle Legion, Mark Mulcahy, and Ray Neal.

If you were in college in the early 80s and tuned in to your campus radio station, you probably heard a fair amount of R.E.M., maybe some Pixies, or The Smiths even. But you may have heard a lesser known group: Miracle Legion. With similar jangle pop melodies and vocal stylings as Peter Buck and Michael Stipe, the band was often compared to their R.E.M. counterparts. But what made Miracle Legion different is perhaps what kept them from reaching superstardom: the lyrical themes of singer Mark Mulcahy were less cryptic and poetic and more nostalgic and direct. They dealt with childhood memories we could all relate to. Which is why it's no surprise that the creator of the Nickelodeon cult classic TV show The Adventures of Pete and Pete approached Mark to write songs for his show about growing up in Suburbia (more on that next week). Join us as we listen to several tracks spanning Miracle Legion's short but impactful career leading up to the early 90s when they transformed into the band we knew and loved as kids: the one and only Polaris.

For those unfamiliar, he is the front man for the New Haven, CT based band Miracle Legion. He He later formed Polaris: a house band for the mid-1990s alternative TV series The Adventures of Pete & Pete.To quote our guest verbatim about The Gus, “Each song on this album is a double sided coin of both joy and pain. It's the perfect record for almost every occasion. Mark, being an already very accomplished songwriter, really takes this one to a personal yet eccentric place. Do not skip this album." Enjoy!
