RockerMike and Rob Presents:Steve Allen and Ron Flynt from the band 20/2020/20 was a power pop band that emerged in the late 1970s, known for their melodic hooks, jangly guitars, and tight harmonies. Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, the band was formed by Steve Allen (vocals, guitar) and Ron Flynt (vocals, bass), later relocating to Los Angeles to join the burgeoning power pop scene alongside bands like The Knack and The Plimsouls.They gained recognition with their self-titled debut album, 20/20 (1979), which featured standout tracks like “Cheri” and “Yellow Pills”—the latter becoming a cult classic in the power pop genre. Their sound blended the British Invasion influences of bands like The Beatles and The Who with the punchy energy of new wave.Despite critical acclaim, mainstream success eluded them, and they released a few more albums, including Look Out! (1981) and Sex Trap (1982), before disbanding. However, 20/20 remains highly regarded among power pop enthusiasts, and their music continues to be rediscovered by fans of the genre.#20_20Band #PowerPop #NewWave #YellowPills #ClassicRock #70sMusic #80sMusic #PowerPopRevival #UnderratedBands #RockHistory #TulsaMusic #LArock #VinylCollection #RetroMusic #MusicDiscoveryhttps://bigstirrecords.com/20-20https://powerpophalloffame.com/portfolio-posts/20-20/https://open.spotify.com/artist/3MBZ7cW7vbWlM9YMYaXE9n?si=LYgEUuJzTlyQWZ6NCdbSAAhttps://www.discogs.com/artist/884409-2020?srsltid=AfmBOorjSey_01s_vFvwkJmOx9r9mgzL-ICx59UDTQqZtQdLAXvxeurjhttps://www.facebook.com/share/1HdWChUBpu/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://youtube.com/channel/UCtFIYSBKuKBQepSKitRZWXg?si=3X42GbIjX-lleoca

Not many 90s rock bands called Arkansas home, and even fewer looked to the straightforward radio pop of 1970s and 80s as a launching point for their sound. Yet on Ho Hum's 1996 debut Local, the band from Bradley, Arkansas tuned the radio dial to sounds of Big Star, The Plimsouls, The Knack, Dramarama, and early Tom Petty, to name a few, for their catchy, unpretentious sound. Though released in the middle of alternative decade, there isn't a note of angst or grunge to be found, instead forging a sound closer to likes of Velvet Crush, Sloan, Superdrag and Matthew Sweet at their most straightforward. From uptempo gems like opener "Around the World" to the infectious "Don't Go Out with Your Friends Tonite," to soulful ballads "Disappear" and "Superhuman," both featuring horn sections, the band clearly has an ear for an earworm melody. Songs In This Episode Intro - Around the World 21:15 - Here She Comes 24:41 - Pills and Guns 27:04 - Frozen 31:06 - Disappear 34:12 - Superhuman Outro - Don't Go Out with Your Friends Tonite Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

No hay nada más difícil en la vida que convivir con tus propios errores. Es muy duro saber que lo que has hecho mal, no puedes deshacerlo. Quisieras volver atrás en el tiempo y hacer todo diferente, pero el mal que has hecho, hecho está. Intentas entonces, purgar por ello, compensarlo de algún modo, hacer expiación por tu pecado, pero te das cuenta que de nada sirve... La cabecera de "Ruta 66" está hoy a cargo de dos músicos italianos, el pianista Michele Francesconi y la cantante Laura Avanzolini. El texto del Evangelio según Lucas en que ahora meditamos, esta parada en el viaje por la vida a la luz de los 66 libros de la Biblia, está en el capítulo 22. Comienza con el relato de la traición de Judas. (vv. 1-6), que ha inspirado a numerosos artistas, uno de ellos, el irlandés Gavin Friday. Amigo de infancia del cantante de U2, Bono, viven en la misma calle de Cedarwood Road en Dublin con Guggi y su hermano (Derek y Peter Rowen), hijos de una familia de una Asamblea de Hermanos, por la que conocen la Biblia desde niños. Escuchamos su "Apologia" (1989). Antes de ser apresado, Jesús celebra la Pascua con sus discípulos, cuando les dice que tomen pan y vino en memoria suya (vv. 7-23). El cantautor Michael Card es hijo de un medico y nieto de un pastor bautista en Tennessee, que hizo estudios bíblicos en la universidad del oeste de Kentucky con el conocido erudito William Lane, además de física, astronomía, filosofía y literatura clásica. Las canciones que empezó a escribir para acompañar los sermones dieron lugar a cánticos como "El Shaddai" y una trilogía sobre la vida de Cristo en los 80. Luego hizo este tema sobre la Cena del Señor, "¡Ven a la Mesa!" (Come To The Table 1996). La combinación del Jinete que viene en las nubes de la Profecía bíblica con el Rey Siervo del Evangelio inspiró a Phil Keaggy en 1976 la canción "Caballo salvaje" (Wild Horse). A este gran guitarrista de Ohio le falta medio dedo en la mano derecha por un accidente que tuvo en la granja donde se cría en una familia católica. En los 60 entra en un grupo de garaje con el guitarrista de los Eagles, Joe Walsh, hasta formar el grupo Glass Harp. Tras experimentar con el LSD, entra en crisis con la muerte de su madre en un accidente de coche en 1970 y llega a la fe cristiana. Graba con Jimi Hendrix en Nueva York y colabora con Paul McCartney, cuya voz recuerda en composiciones que tienen mucha influencia de los Beatles. Este tema muestra la influencia también de C. S. Lewis en sus textos. El título de la película, esta vez, da nombre a nuestro programa, "Expiación" (2007). La impresionante novela del escritor inglés Ian McEwan es llevada al cine por Joe Wright con una Keira Knightley en "estado de gracia". La búsqueda de expiación del personaje de Briony por el mal que produce a su hermana y al hijo de la ama de llaves de esta casa señorial en los años 30, marca toda su vida. Escuchamos diálogos de la primera parte del filme, comentados por José de Segovia, a la luz del relato de la negación de Pedro (vv. 31-34: 54-62)) con el fondo de la banda sonora original de Dario Marianelli. El cantautor uruguayo Luis Alfredo Díaz ha hecho algunas de las más originales composiciones en español, inspiradas por su fe. Graba ya espirituales negros como adolescente en el ambiente pentecostal de Uruguay, hasta viajar en su juventud a Finlandia, donde llega a hacer discos de himnos en finés. En Burgos comienza una comunidad cristiana al estilo de la Gente de Jesús en los 70, hasta dedicarse a la música en el mundo católico de España y Latinoamérica, donde graba en vivo esta impresionante canción sobre lo ocurrido en "El Getsemaní", una vigilia en la basílica de Guadalupe en México. El músico californiano Terry Scott Taylor está detrás de una de las bandas más extrañas que surgió en la Revolución por Jesús, Daniel Amos. Las canciones de estos "hippies" convertidos al cristianismo que forman la Última Banda de Jubal les llevan a formar un grupo de "country rock" con el nombre de estos dos profetas bíblicos. Tras entrar en el sello de Larry Norman, inician una serie de cuatro discos como Crónicas de Alarma, que tienen algunos de los textos más creativos e imaginativos de la llamada "música cristiana contemporánea". En su continua experimentación, forman a finales de los 80 otra banda con seudónimos llamada The Swirling Eddies. El tema "El giro" (The Twist 1994) es una sorprendente visión de Getsemaní (vv. 39-53) Acabamos el programa con otro músico singular, Peter Case, un original cantautor de Nueva York que va a San Francisco, donde comienza una carrera musical que le lleva a formar en California a finales de los 70, la mítica banda de los Plimsouls, ahora recuperada en las actuaciones en vivo que aparecen en la película del joven Nicolas Cage, Valley Girl (1983), donde suena una y otra vez su canción "A Million Miles Away". La fe cristiana por la que todavía va a la iglesia, le lleva a escribir canciones como esta confesión de que "Todavía pertenezco a Jesús" (I Still Belong To Jesus 2010) para Robert Randolph & The Family Band. Esa es la esperanza de Pedro y muchos de nosotros, que pertenezcamos a Jesús, a pesar de nuestros muchos fracasos.
This week, we're joined by Patron Marcia Potts as we travel back to a simpler time when the shirts were bright, the jackets Members Only and the music was...AWESOME! When director Martha Coolidge made her 1983 sleeper hit 'Valley Girl', she filled the movie with New Wave gems made popular by KROQ's "Rock of the 80s" format. Unfortunately the planned release of a soundtrack album was cancelled due to clearance problems with some of the songs. In 1994, Rhino Records FINALLY righted this wrong and released an official compilation of songs from the film's soundtrack on CD, making Marcia and her younger sister VERY happy! "Okay, fine Fer sure, fer sure..." Songs discussed in this episode: Valley Girl - Frank Zappa; A Million Miles Away - The Plimsouls; Hanging On The Telephone - Blondie; Johnnie, Are You Queer? - Josie Cotton; Johnnie, Are You Queer? - The Go-Go's; Fetch Me One More Beer (1978 Demo) - FEAR; Eyes Of A Stranger - Payola$; Angst In My Pants, This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us - Sparks; Who Can It Be Now? - Men At Work; Everywhere At Once - The Plimsouls; Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights) - Pat Travers Band (Live); I La La La Love You - Pat Travers; He Could Be The One - Josie Cotton; Love My Way - The Psychedelic Furs; Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime) - The Flirts; Give Him A Great Big Kiss - The Shangri-Las; The Fanatic - Felony; Sidewinder - The New Order; She Talks In Stereo - Gary Myrick and The Figures; Oldest Story In The World - The Plimsouls; School Is In, Faster Pussycat - Josie Cotton; I Melt With You - Modern English; I Melt With You - David Hasselhoff (with Steve Stevens)
Another two hours of new wave, post-punk and more! Enjoy!
Peter Case in conversation with David Eastaugh https://petercase.com/ Case was born in Buffalo, New York. He wrote his first song "Stay Away," in 1965, at the age of eleven. A veteran of several rock bands and the local bar scene as a teenager, Case dropped out of high school when he was fifteen (he would later earn a GED), and after several years of traveling arrived in 1973 in San Francisco, where he performed as a street musician. During this period a documentary about the local music scene, Nightshift, directed by Bert Deivert, captured the young Case on film. In 1976, he teamed up with Jack Lee and Paul Collins to form the early punk-era band The Nerves in San Francisco. The group's 1976 EP track, "Hanging on the Telephone", was later recorded by Blondie.
If you have heard Big Star's music, chances are that you're a fan. If you haven't but love Cheap Trick or REM or the Replacements or the Plimsouls or the Go-Go's or Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers chances are that you're a fan but just don't know it yet. They were that good. In this, our first episode discussing the Power Pop geniuses, we deep dive record #1.

Every time I hear "I Melt With You" by Modern English, I'm instantly transported back to the '80s classic "Valley Girl," where the soundtrack wasn't just background noise, it was the heartbeat of a generation. We'll unpack the film's standout montage and the pivotal role music played, from The Plimsouls to The Psychedelic Furs, while I share my own parallel high school journey. And of course, we can't forget those quirky lines that have become as iconic as the film itself.As we flip the record, we'll explore the evolution of '80s music hits that defined an era. From Duran Duran's chart-topping journey to The Romantics' sleep-talking beats, we're unpacking the story behind the Rockwell song "Somebody's Watching Me". Plus, a special nod to The Replacements' "Don't Tell a Soul". So tease up your hair and slip on your favorite leg warmers, we're about to hit play on a mixtape of memories and music that still resonates with us today.
Nearly two more hours of new wave, post punk and more! Enjoy!

On the show this week we have the incredible songwriter Peter Case, who I've been listening to for a long time. He's been making records for decades and has some really cool stories under his belt. He's also a bit of a guitar nerd, so it's fun to get into that with him as well. Peter's latest album is called “Doctor Moan” and it's available now at all the places.Originally from Buffalo, Peter moved to the Bay Area as a youngster and that's where he started getting into the punk rock scene with a band he started called The Nerves. After The Nerves disbanded, he moved to LA, and that's where he started to flourish as a performer and songwriter. He formed the Plimsouls next which were more of a straight up rock & roll band, signed to Geffen and made some killer records. “A Million Miles Away” was a hit for them and they started touring all over the country. After the Plimsouls, Case started his solo career, and worked with some amazing producers and musicians, some of whom he continues to work with to this day. His debut was nominated for a Grammy and led to a string of other cool records like “The Man With the Blue Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar”, “Six Pack of Love”, “Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John” and “Full Service No Waiting”. His brand new album “Doctor Moan” features mostly songs written and performed on piano, which is a departure for him in some ways, as he is known as a guitar player/singer, but he has in fact always been a keyboard player as well.You can keep track of all of his music and his tour dates at petercase.comBe sure to listen to the accompanying Songs Playlist which contains some of the artist's work, plus many of the songs we discuss on the show:Playlist on Spotify / Playlist on Apple MusicIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the show with a donation or Patreon subscriptionThe show's website can be found at www.makersandshakerspodcast.comYour fearless host, Steve Dawson can be found at www.stevedawson.ca Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/mmasspodcast.

This week, we take a look back at a movie celebrating the fortieth anniversary of its theatrical release this coming Saturday, a movie that made a star of its unconventional lead actor, and helped make its director one of a number of exciting female filmmakers to break through in the early part of the decade. The movie Martha Coolidge's 1983 comedy Valley Girl, starring Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. On this episode, we're going to be looking back at a movie that will be celebrating the fortieth anniversary of its original theatrical release. A movie that would turn one of its leads into a star, and thrust its director into the mainstream, at least for a short time. We're talking about the 1983 Martha Coolidge film Valley Girl, which is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its release this Saturday, with a special screening tonight, Thursday, April 27th 2023, at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with its director, doing a Q&A session after the show. But, as always, before we get to Valley Girl, we head back in time. A whole eleven months, in fact. To May 1982. That month, the avant-garde musical genius known as Frank Zappa released his 35th album, Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch. Released on Zappa's own Barking Pumpkin record label, Drowning Witch would feature a song he co-wrote with his fourteen year old daughter Moon Unit Zappa. Frank would regularly hear his daughter make fun of the young female mallrats she would encounter throughout her days, and one night, Frank would be noodling around in his home recording studio when inspiration struck. He would head up to Moon's room, wake her up and bring her down to the studio, asking her to just repeat in that silly Valspeak voice she did all the crazy things she heard being said at parties, bar mitzvahs and the Sherman Oaks Galleria shopping center, which would become famous just a couple months later as the mall where many of the kids from Ridgemont High worked in Amy Heckerling's breakthrough movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. For about an hour, Frank would record Moon spouting off typical valley girl phrases, before he sent her back up to her room to go back to sleep. In a couple days, Frank Zappa would bring his band, which at the time included guitar virtuoso Steve Vai in his first major musical gig, into the home studio to lay down the music to this weird little song he wrote around his daughter's vocals. “Valley Girl” wold not be a celebration of the San Fernando Valley, an area Zappa described as “a most depressing place,” or the way these young ladies presented themselves. Zappa in general hated boring generic repetitive music, but “Valley Girl” would be one of the few songs Zappa would ever write or record that followed a traditional 4/4 time signature. In the spring of 1982, the influential Los Angeles radio station KROQ would obtain an acetate disc of the song, several weeks before Drowning Witch was to be released on an unsuspecting public. Zappa himself thought it was a hoot the station that had broken such bands as The Cars, Duran Duran, The Police, Talking Heads and U2 was even considering playing his song, but KROQ was his daughter's favorite radio station, and she was able to persuade the station to play the song during an on-air interview with her. The kids at home went nuts for the song, demanding the station play it again. And again. And again. Other radio stations across the country started to get calls from their listeners, wanting to hear this song that hadn't been officially released yet, and Zappa's record label would rush to get copies out to any radio station that asked for it. The song would prove to be very popular, become the only single of the forty plus he released during his recording career to become a Top 40 radio hit, peaking at number 32. Ironically, the song would popularize the very cadence it was mocking with teenagers around the country, and the next time Zappa and his band The Mothers of Invention would tour, he would apologize to the Zappa faithful for having created a hit record. "The sad truth,” he would say before going into the song, “is that if one continues to make music year after year, eventually something will be popular. I spent my career fighting against creating marketable art, but this one slipped through the cracks. I promise to do my best never to have this happen again." As the song was becoming popular in Los Angeles, actor Wayne Crawford and producer Andrew Lane had been working on a screenplay about star-crossed lovers that was meant to be a cheap quickie exploitation film not unlike Zapped! or Porky's. But after hearing Zappa's song, the pair would quickly rewrite the lead character, Julie, into a valley girl, and retitle their screenplay, Bad Boyz… yes, Boyz, with a Z… as Valley Girl. Atlantic Entertainment Company, an independent film production company, had recently started their own distribution company, and were looking for movies that could be made quickly, cheaply, and might be able to become some kind of small hit. One of the scripts that would cross their desk were Crawford and Lane's Valley Girl. Within a week, Atlantic would already have a $350,000 budget set aside to make the film. The first thing they needed was a director. Enter Martha Coolidge. A graduate of the same New York University film program that would give us Joel Coen, Amy Heckerling, Ang Lee, Spike Lee and Todd Phillips, Coolidge had been working under the tutelage of Academy Award-winner Francis Ford Coppola at the filmmaker's Zoetrope Studios. She had made her directorial debut, Not a Pretty Picture in 1976, but the film, a docu-drama based on Coolidge's own date rape she suffered at the age of 16, would not find a big audience. She had made another movie, City Girl, with Peter Riegert and Colleen Camp, in 1982, with Peter Bogdanovich as a producer, but the film's potential release was cancelled when Bogdanovich's company Moon Pictures went bankrupt after the release of his 1981 movie They All Laughed, which we covered last year. She knew she needed to get on a film with a good chance of getting released, and with Coppola's encouragement, Coolidge would throw her proverbial hat into the ring, and she would get the job, in part because she had some directing experience, but also because she was willing to accept the $5,000 Atlantic was offering for the position. Now that she had the job, it was time for Coolidge to get to casting. It was her goal to show an authentic teenage experience in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, absent of stereotypes. As someone whose background was in documentary filmmaking, Coolidge wanted Valley Girl to feel as real as possible. Her first choice for the role of Randy, the proto-punk Romeo to Julie's… well, Juliet… Coolidge was keen on a twenty-three year old unknown who had not yet acted in anything in movies, on television, or even a music video. Judd Nelson had been studying with Stella Adler in New York City, and there was something about his look that Coolidge really liked. But when she offered the role to Nelson, he had just booked an acting gig that would make him unavailable when the film would be shooting. So it was back to the pile of headshots that had been sent to the production office. And in that pile, she would find the headshot of eighteen year old Nicolas Cage, who at the time only had one movie credit, as one of Judge Reinhold's co-workers in Fast Times. Coolidge would show the photo to her casting director, telling them they needed to find someone like him, someone who wasn't a conventionally handsome movie actor. So the casting director did just that. Went out and got someone like Nicolas Cage. Specifically, Nicolas Cage. What Coolidge didn't know was that Cage's real name was Nicolas Coppola, and that his uncle was Coolidge's boss. She would only learn this when she called the actor to offer him the role, and he mentioned he would need to check his schedule on the Coppola movie he was about to start shooting on, Rumble Fish. Francis Coppola made sure the shooting schedule was re-arranged so his nephew could accept his first leading role. For Julie, Coolidge wanted only one person: Deborah Foreman, a twenty-year-old former model who had only done commercials for McDonalds at this point in her career. Although she was born in Montebello CA, mere miles from the epicenter of the San Fernando Valley, Foreman had spent her formative years in Texas, and knew nothing about the whole Valley Girl phenomenon until she was cast in the film. Supporting roles would be filled by a number of up and coming young actors, including Elizabeth Daily and Michelle Mayrink as Julie's friends, Cameron Dye as Randy's best friend, and Michael Bowen as Julie's ex-boyfriend, while Julie's parents would be played by Frederic Forrest and Colleen Camp, two industry veterans who had briefly worked together on Apocalypse Now. As the scheduled start date of October 25th, 1982, rolled closer, Martha Coolidge would be the first director to really learn just how far Nicolas Cage was willing to go for a role. He would start sleeping in his car, to better understand Randy, and he would, as Randy, write Foreman's character Julie a poem that, according to a May 2020 New York Times oral history about the film, Foreman still has to this day. In a 2018 IMDb talk with director Kevin Smith, Cage would say that it was easy for his performance to happen in the film because he had a massive crush on Foreman during the making of the film. Because of the film's extremely low budget, the filmmakers would often shoot on locations throughout Los Angeles they did not have permits for, stealing shots wherever they could. But one place they would spend money on was the movie's soundtrack, punctuated by live performances by Los Angeles band The Plimsouls and singer Josie Cotton, which were filmed at the Sunset Strip club now known as The Viper Room. The film would only have a twenty day shooting schedule, which meant scenes would have to be shot quickly and efficiently, with as few hiccups as possible. But this wouldn't stop Cage from occasionally improvising little bits that Coolidge loved so much, she would keep them in the film, such as Randy spitting his gum at Julie's ex, and the breakup scene, where Randy digs into Julie by using Valspeak. In early January 1983, while the film was still being edited, Frank Zappa would file a lawsuit against the film, seeking $100,000 in damages and an injunction to stop the film from being released, saying the film would unfairly dilute the trademark of his song. The lawsuit would force Coolidge to have a cut of her movie ready to screen for the judge before she was fully done with it. But when Coolidge screened this rushed cut to Atlantic and its lawyers, the distributor was pleasantly surprised to see the director hadn't just made a quickie exploitation film but something with genuine heart and soul that could probably have a much longer lifespan. They were originally planning on releasing the film during the later part of the summer movie season, but now knowing what they had on their hands, Atlantic would set an April 29th release date… pending, of course, on the outcome of the Zappa lawsuit. In March, the judge would issue their ruling, in favor of the film, saying there would be no confusion in the public's mind between the song and the film, and Atlantic would continue to prepare for the late April release. One of the things Coolidge really fought for was to have a wall of great new wave songs throughout the film, something Atlantic was hesitant to pay for, until they saw Coolidge's cut. They would spend another $250k on top of the $350k production budget to secure songs from The Psychedelic Furs, The Payolas, Men at Work, Toni Basil, The Flirts and Sparks, on top of the songs played by The Plimsouls and Josie Cotton in the film. Valley Girl would be one of three new movies opening on April 29th, alongside Disney's adaptation of the Ray Bradbury story Something Wicked This Way Comes, and The Hunger, the directorial debut of filmmaker Tony Scott. Opening on only 442 screens, Valley Girl would come in fourth place for the weekend, grossing $1.86m in its first three days. However, its $4200 per screen average would be better than every movie in the top 15, including the #1 film in the nation that weekend, Flashdance. Not bad for a film that was only playing in one third of the country. In its second weekend, Valley Girl would fall to seventh place, with $1.33m worth of ticket sold, but its per screen average would be second only to the new Cheech and Chong movie, Still Smokin'. Over the next three months, the film would continue to perform well, never playing in more screens than it did in its opening weekend, but never falling out of the top 15 while Atlantic was tracking it. When all was said and done, Valley Girl would have grossed $17.34m in the United States, not a bad return on a $600k production and music clearance budget. There was supposed to be an accompanying soundtrack album for the film that, according to the movie's poster, would be released on Epic Records, a subsidiary of Columbia Records whose eclectic roster of artists included Michael Jackson, The Clash and Liza Minnelli, but it turns out the filmmakers only ended up only getting music clearances for the movie, so that release would get cancelled and a six-song mini-LP would be created through a label Atlantic Pictures created called Roadshow Records. But then that album got cancelled, even though some copies had been printed, so it wouldn't be until 1994 that an actual soundtrack for the film would be released by Rhino Records. That release would do so well, Rhino released a second soundtrack album the following year. The lawsuit from Zappa would not be the only court proceeding concerning the film. In July 1984, Martha Coolidge, her cinematographer, Frederick Elmes, and two of the actresses, Colleen Camp and Lee Purcell, sued Atlantic Releasing for $5m, saying they were owed a portion of the film's profits based on agreements in their contracts. The two sides would later settle out of court. Nicolas Cage would, of course, becomes one of the biggest movie stars in the world, winning an Oscar in 1996 for his portrayal of an alcoholic Hollywood screenwriter who goes to Las Vegas to drink himself to death. Deborah Foreman would not have as successful a career. After Valley Girl, it would be another two years before she was seen on screen again, in what basically amounts to an extended cameo in a movie I'll get to in a moment. She would have a decent 1986, starring in two semi-successful films, the sexy comedy My Chauffeur and the black comedy April Fool's Day, but after that, the roles would be less frequent and, often, not the lead. By 1991, she would retire from acting, appearing only in a 2011 music video for the She Wants Revenge song Must Be the One, and a cameo in the 2020 remake of Valley Girl starring Jessica Rothe of the Happy Death Day movies. After Valley Girl, Martha Coolidge would go on a tear, directing four more movies over the next seven years. And we'll talk about that first movie, Joy of Sex, on our next episode.

Her first choice for the role of Randy, the proto-punk Romeo to Julie's… well, Juliet… Coolidge was keen on a twenty-three year old unknown who had not yet acted in anything in movies, on television, or even a music video. Judd Nelson had been studying with Stella Adler in New York City, and there was something about his look that Coolidge really liked. But when she offered the role to Nelson, he had just booked an acting gig that would make him unavailable when the film would be shooting. So it was back to the pile of headshots that had been sent to the production office. And in that pile, she would find the headshot of eighteen year old Nicolas Cage, who at the time only had one movie credit, as one of Judge Reinhold's co-workers in Fast Times. Coolidge would show the photo to her casting director, telling them they needed to find someone like him, someone who wasn't a conventionally handsome movie actor. So the casting director did just that. Went out and got someone like Nicolas Cage. Specifically, Nicolas Cage. What Coolidge didn't know was that Cage's real name was Nicolas Coppola, and that his uncle was Coolidge's boss. She would only learn this when she called the actor to offer him the role, and he mentioned he would need to check his schedule on the Coppola movie he was about to start shooting on, Rumble Fish. Francis Coppola made sure the shooting schedule was re-arranged so his nephew could accept his first leading role. For Julie, Coolidge wanted only one person: Deborah Foreman, a twenty-year-old former model who had only done commercials for McDonalds at this point in her career. Although she was born in Montebello CA, mere miles from the epicenter of the San Fernando Valley, Foreman had spent her formative years in Texas, and knew nothing about the whole Valley Girl phenomenon until she was cast in the film. Supporting roles would be filled by a number of up and coming young actors, including Elizabeth Daily and Michelle Mayrink as Julie's friends, Cameron Dye as Randy's best friend, and Michael Bowen as Julie's ex-boyfriend, while Julie's parents would be played by Frederic Forrest and Colleen Camp, two industry veterans who had briefly worked together on Apocalypse Now. As the scheduled start date of October 25th, 1982, rolled closer, Martha Coolidge would be the first director to really learn just how far Nicolas Cage was willing to go for a role. He would start sleeping in his car, to better understand Randy, and he would, as Randy, write Foreman's character Julie a poem that, according to a May 2020 New York Times oral history about the film, Foreman still has to this day. In a 2018 IMDb talk with director Kevin Smith, Cage would say that it was easy for his performance to happen in the film because he had a massive crush on Foreman during the making of the film. Because of the film's extremely low budget, the filmmakers would often shoot on locations throughout Los Angeles they did not have permits for, stealing shots wherever they could. But one place they would spend money on was the movie's soundtrack, punctuated by live performances by Los Angeles band The Plimsouls and singer Josie Cotton, which were filmed at the Sunset Strip club now known as The Viper Room. The film would only have a twenty day shooting schedule, which meant scenes would have to be shot quickly and efficiently, with as few hiccups as possible. But this wouldn't stop Cage from occasionally improvising little bits that Coolidge loved so much, she would keep them in the film, such as Randy spitting his gum at Julie's ex, and the breakup scene, where Randy digs into Julie by using Valspeak. In early January 1983, while the film was still being edited, Frank Zappa would file a lawsuit against the film, seeking $100,000 in damages and an injunction to stop the film from being released, saying the film would unfairly dilute the trademark of his song. The lawsuit would force Coolidge to have a cut of her movie ready to screen for the judge before she was fully done with it. But when Coolidge screened this rushed cut to Atlantic and its lawyers, the distributor was pleasantly surprised to see the director hadn't just made a quickie exploitation film but something with genuine heart and soul that could probably have a much longer lifespan. They were originally planning on releasing the film during the later part of the summer movie season, but now knowing what they had on their hands, Atlantic would set an April 29th release date… pending, of course, on the outcome of the Zappa lawsuit. In March, the judge would issue their ruling, in favor of the film, saying there would be no confusion in the public's mind between the song and the film, and Atlantic would continue to prepare for the late April release. One of the things Coolidge really fought for was to have a wall of great new wave songs throughout the film, something Atlantic was hesitant to pay for, until they saw Coolidge's cut. They would spend another $250k on top of the $350k production budget to secure songs from The Psychedelic Furs, The Payolas, Men at Work, Toni Basil, The Flirts and Sparks, on top of the songs played by The Plimsouls and Josie Cotton in the film. Valley Girl would be one of three new movies opening on April 29th, alongside Disney's adaptation of the Ray Bradbury story Something Wicked This Way Comes, and The Hunger, the directorial debut of filmmaker Tony Scott. Opening on only 442 screens, Valley Girl would come in fourth place for the weekend, grossing $1.86m in its first three days. However, its $4200 per screen average would be better than every movie in the top 15, including the #1 film in the nation that weekend, Flashdance. Not bad for a film that was only playing in one third of the country. In its second weekend, Valley Girl would fall to seventh place, with $1.33m worth of ticket sold, but its per screen average would be second only to the new Cheech and Chong movie, Still Smokin'. Over the next three months, the film would continue to perform well, never playing in more screens than it did in its opening weekend, but never falling out of the top 15 while Atlantic was tracking it. When all was said and done, Valley Girl would have grossed $17.34m in the United States, not a bad return on a $600k production and music clearance budget. There was supposed to be an accompanying soundtrack album for the film that, according to the movie's poster, would be released on Epic Records, a subsidiary of Columbia Records whose eclectic roster of artists included Michael Jackson, The Clash and Liza Minnelli, but it turns out the filmmakers only ended up only getting music clearances for the movie, so that release would get cancelled and a six-song mini-LP would be created through a label Atlantic Pictures created called Roadshow Records. But then that album got cancelled, even though some copies had been printed, so it wouldn't be until 1994 that an actual soundtrack for the film would be released by Rhino Records. That release would do so well, Rhino released a second soundtrack album the following year. The lawsuit from Zappa would not be the only court proceeding concerning the film. In July 1984, Martha Coolidge, her cinematographer, Frederick Elmes, and two of the actresses, Colleen Camp and Lee Purcell, sued Atlantic Releasing for $5m, saying they were owed a portion of the film's profits based on agreements in their contracts. The two sides would later settle out of court. Nicolas Cage would, of course, becomes one of the biggest movie stars in the world, winning an Oscar in 1996 for his portrayal of an alcoholic Hollywood screenwriter who goes to Las Vegas to drink himself to death. Deborah Foreman would not have as successful a career. After Valley Girl, it would be another two years before she was seen on screen again, in what basically amounts to an extended cameo in a movie I'll get to in a moment. She would have a decent 1986, starring in two semi-successful films, the sexy comedy My Chauffeur and the black comedy April Fool's Day, but after that, the roles would be less frequent and, often, not the lead. By 1991, she would retire from acting, appearing only in a 2011 music video for the She Wants Revenge song Must Be the One, and a cameo in the 2020 remake of Valley Girl starring Jessica Rothe of the Happy Death Day movies. After Valley Girl, Martha Coolidge would go on a tear, directing four more movies over the next seven years. And we'll talk about that first movie, Joy of Sex, on our next episode.

his week I'm joined by veteran rockers Dean and Brent Seavers of The Decibels, one of the best mod friendly, power pop acts of the past thirty years (yes we're all that old, get used to it). With five albums already under their belt they are back this year with a brand new release, When Red Lights Flash. And it rocks. It's got an accessibility to it that is familiar, but with enough newness to keep it fresh beginning to end. Songs like Enough
I wonder if it's Peter Case's slightly rebellious spirit that has endeared him to fans for so long. Within one decade he was a member of two hugely important rock bands - the Nerves ("Hanging on the Telephone") and the Plimsouls ("A Million Miles Away"), but since the late 80s he's been doing things his way - a little folk, a little jazz, a little blues, just whatever he felt like. His diverse tastes have made for an equally diverse body of work and his latest album, Doctor Moan, is no exception. The album explores his jazz and piano side more than any other release and is all the better for it. We hear about his love for all kinds of music, his historic legacy, playing piano at the church of John Coltrane, and much more. Enjoy! www.petercase.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

“Doctor Moan” Ever since he landed in San Francisco at 19, the Buffalo-born Peter Case pretty much hasn't stopped making music. He hit the Bay as a busker and from there joined pals Jack Lee and Paul Collins to form the punk band the Nerves. After the Nerves called it a day, Case formed The Plimsouls, who put out a handful of albums that were instant classics. When the Plimsouls broke up, Case stripped things back and put out his first solo album. The self-titled record was a critical favorite, and it kick-started a solo career that has found the singer/songwriter releasing close to 20 albums, including The Man With The Blue Post Modern Fragmented Neo Traditionalist Guitar, Sings Like Hell and his new one Doctor Moan. The Grammy-nominated Case is a true troubadour whose life has been devoted to song. He's put out several books, including As Far As You Can Get Without A Passport, had his songs covered by everyone from Blondie to Joe Ely to John Prine, opened for the Ramones and John Lee Hooker, collaborated with Los Lobos, Roger McGuinn of The Byrds and Ry Cooder and you know what? The list goes on and on. This is just a fragment of what Peter Case has done—his CV has a lot of pages. His new album Doctor Moan is a stirring song cycle that's powered by Case behind the keys of an acoustic piano. And it's riveting work--The songs are heartfelt, arresting and filled with raw finesse that makes every moment immediate and engaging. www.petercase.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.embersarts.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.bombshellradio.com Twitter: @emberseditor Instagram: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com
Like a lot of us, Peter Case found himself with lots of time on his hands during the pandemic. A piano in his living room beckoned him and he started to write songs, a throwback to the rhythm & blues, and boogie woogie he heard as a kid. The result is Doctor Moan, 11-songs, stripped down, without drums, mostly led by his pounding piano.Case was part of the seminal punk band the Nerves in the late 70's, before forming the Plimsouls, who had an MTV hit with “A Million Miles Away,” and a spot in the 80's teen classic, Valley Girl. Since the mid-80's, Case has led an eclectic solo career that's seen him garner three Grammy nominations and lots of accolades. All of his past seeps into the pores of this new, sparse offering, available from Sunset Blvd Records.We chat with Case about how playing the piano during lockdown took him back to his roots as a kid. He also talks about a new documentary about him that should see widespread release soon.

Peter Case is a singer-songwriter who has covered a tremendous amount of ground, both physically and stylistically, over a long, impressive career. He played pop-punk with the Nerves, power-pop with the Plimsouls (“A Million Miles Away”), Americana as a solo artist before Americana was a thing, and many styles since then, including the pounding piano blues of his upcoming Doctor Moan. Here he recalls days of scraping by as a street musician, tells jaw-dropping L.A. stories featuring the Go-Go's and Jerry Lee Lewis, recounts how Blondie came to cover the Nerves' “Hanging on the Telephone,” recalls the Plimsouls' appearance in Valley Girl and relives his dreams, disappointments (with a cameo by the label exec who also rejected Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot) and triumphs, This is a great conversation for songwriters and music fans alike.

“Memories To Burn” The Williams Brothers come from a rich musical lineage that goes all the way back to the late ‘30s, when Williams Brothers Andy, Dick, Bob and Don started their singing quartet that took them all the way from their home state of Iowa to sunny Los Angeles, where they appeared in movies and were under contract with MGM Films. The second iteration of The Williams Brothers featured Don's sons Andrew and David, who put out two albums in 1973. As teen idols they had a hit with “What's Your Name" and even made an appearance on The Partridge Family. They resurfaced again in the late ‘80s, putting out a trio of fabulous albums for Warner Brothers, their last being 1993's Harmony Hotel. Along the way they backed up Brian Setzer, Joe Ely and The Cruzados, sang back up on the Plimsouls' "A Million Miles Away" and were part of T-Bone Burnett's band for a tour of Europe. They had a hit with "Can't Cry Enough" in '92, appeared as an Everly Brothers duo in Alison Anders' Grace Of My Heart and after that…..well, after that, they stepped away and lived their lives. 28 years later we have Memories To Burn. This album gets done in 30 minutes what most bands try to do their entire careers. The harmonies are lustrous and elegant and the phrasing is delivered with finesse and grace. The two brothers' vocal interplay is effortless, organic and soul-affirming. Featuring covers by Robbie Fulks and Iris DeMent and with a band that features the marvelous Marvin Etzioni and Greg Liesz, Memories To Burn is one of 2022's very best. Good to have these guys back.

No hace aún un año, Flash cumplía la friolera de 80 años. Desde que llegó a los kioscos por primera vez en noviembre de 1939 muchas han sido sus aventuras y más de una persona ha llevado el emblema del rayo. Sería Jay Garrick quien daría inicio al mito y tal vez Barry Allen pueda ser quien más tiempo ha llevado el manto, pero prácticamente a la vez que Garrick, otro Flash ha cumplido 60 años. Wally West debutaría como Kid Flash, pero con la muerte de Barry en Crisis en Tierras Infinitas, se haría cargo de su legado convirtiéndose en el Flash de toda una generación. Sobre todo Mark Waid y Geoff Johns se encargarían de firmar sendas etapas que colocarían a Wally en el corazón de todos para siempre. En esta primera parte de dos, abordaremos los primeros años desde la etapa de Mike Baron hasta el final de la era Waid. Tenemos la suerte además de que algunos de los mejores dibujantes de estas etapas provenían de la proverbial piel de toro y hemos contado con el privilegio de poder hablar con ellos. En este primera parte contaremos nada menos que con Carlos Pacheco, Salvador Larroca y Oscar Jiménez, que nos contarán de primera mano cómo cabalgaron el rayo. Está entrando en otra dimensión, un lugar asombroso solo limitado por la imaginación. Su próxima parada, el programa 163 del podcast de ELHDLT.

Episode 6 Peter CasePart I Song Chronicles is proud to present the first of a two-part interview with Peter Case. For Peter, music is an economy of energy, a spiritual economy. His career stretches out over half a century and is still going strong. Through the experiences he's had, the different band line-ups, the travels, the epiphanies, the inspiring companions, he pours vibrancy into each new musical chapter. Case, a native of Buffalo, New York, dropped out of high school when he was fifteen and traveled before replanting himself in San Francisco in 1973. You can see a young Peter in action during this period, in the documentary Nightshift, directed by Bert Deivert, where the director and subject wandered the streets looking for places to play, cash to earn, and food to eat while meeting with people anywhere on street corners and filming. In 1976, he teamed up with two other bandmates, Jack Lee and Paul Collins, to form The Nerves in San Francisco. (Jack was the sole writer of The Nerves song "Hanging On The Telephone" which was later recorded by Blondie). The band moved to Los Angeles and performed in many of LA's punk-era venues, and soon they went on a national tour opening for The Ramones and Mink Deville. They broke up in 1978. photo by Greg Allen The Nerves One Way Ticket - 1977 In 1979, Peter formed The Plimsouls, which, after the release of their debut EP Zero Hour, started building a significant live following in California. They had record deals with two major record labels (Planet/Elektra in 1981 and Geffen Records in 1983). In 1982, "A Million Miles Away" was released as a 12" single and the song was a radio hit in California and in some other regions of the U.S. The Plimsouls Live! Beg, Borrow & Steal (1981) The Plimsouls - Beach Town Confidential - 1983 "The gimmick of the band was to have high standards", says Case. The Plimsouls lasted until January 1st, 1985 and, in this interview, Peter charts the course of the musical changes he made after the band broke up, how songs, stories and words made playing solo appealing to him, despite having to carve out a new audience after losing half of The Plimsouls fans. "I love The Plimsouls, but my life took off in another way. [Playing solo] enabled me to put together a lot of things that I loved...to get away from that strict environment of the four-piece rock and roll band". Throughout his life, he'd seen performers that made deep impressions on him, such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Simon and Garfunkel (with one guitar in 1967), Arlo Guthrie, James Taylor, John Hammond Jr., Dave Van Ronk, Pete Seeger, an under-the-radar folk singer and actor, Cedric Smith (Perth County Conspiracy), Fred Neil, Memphis Slim, Mississippi John Hurt, and more. Like musicians before him, Case would at times have a band ready in different towns but once he realized that what he could do solo was more unique, less turned into more: more range in the story-telling of the songs, more potency in the groove, and it worked. Traveling light is the way to go if you're an independent musician. Even traveling light, Peter grooves heavy. The Man With The Blue Post-Modern, Fragmented, Neo-Traditionalist Guitar 1989 He made a self-titled solo album, Peter Case, released in 1986, on Geffen Records, produced by both T-Bone Burnett and Mitchell Froom. One of the songs on it, "Old Blue Car," was nominated for a Grammy Award. Robert Palmer of The New York Times chose the album as the No. 1 release for 1986 in his year-in-review wrap-up. The album had contributions from Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers), John Hiatt, Jim Kelter, Jerry Marotta, Roger McGuinn (of The Byrds), Richard Thompson, Van Dyke Parks and included songs co-written with Victoria Williams (Peter's first wife) and T-Bone Burnett. 1986 Peter describes having record deals: "When you're on those labels, you know, as you well know, you get that, you get that feeling of wind in your sails. That even on a failure, you're, you know, you're doing a lap. There's a certain amount of momentum that happens on those things that's not anywhere anymore". Torn Again 1995 In 2015, Peter released HWY 62 on Omnivore, an album filled with songs and stories, the blues, and heartfelt singing. That spiritual economy of heart and soul, with the wisdom of his years, makes Peter one of America's treasured songwriters and performers. In this interview, he tells us of the journey he took to get here. If you're a songwriter, when you listen, you'll want to take notes.

Earlier this year I featured a show that focused on British punk rock from 1980. Tonight, I do the same thing but featuring nothing but tunes from American punk bands from that same year. It’s kind of interesting how the focus of the punk scene (at least as far as releases went) moved from New York to the West Coast. It was quite a year for California bands, with many veteran acts still pumping out new music, but also a ton of brand new bands with their first single or album. X, The Plimsouls, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Red Cross, Minutemen, and so many more made their debuts that year. (And yes, there is one error as a non-1980 track was discovered to have aired.) After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs.
The Paisley Underground is a musical genre that originated from California. It was particularly popular in Los Angeles, reaching a peak in the mid 1980s. Paisley Underground bands incorporated psychedelia, rich vocal harmonies and guitar interplay, owing a particular debt to 1960s groups such as Love and the Byrds, but more generally referencing a wide range of pop and garage rock revival. Bands include: Salvation Army, The 3 O'clock, The Rain Parade, The Nerves, The Plimsouls, The Dream Syndicate, The Pandoras and The Bangles

During the 80’s, I bartended at a rock club called the Blue Lagune Saloon in Marina del Rey, California. I saw a lot of great bands during my time there, the Plimsouls, Etta James, The Moore Brothers (Joe Cocker’s backup band during the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour), Billy and the Beaters, The Bus Boys; Kathy Valentine of the Go Goes celebrated her 21st birthday there to a virtual who’s who of the 80’s rock and roll elite. Yet one young lady stood out to me back then among all of these 80’s pop rockers and hard rocking’ and r&b bands. I’m talking about Lisa Nemzo. Today, on Tales of the Road Warriors! Lisa Nemzo. She did this acoustic guitar solo during a song called Try and Run, in which she used harmonics to create an exciting instrumental break before going back into the final chorus. I was serving drinks to a thirsty audience; business as usual when she broke into that amazing solo. I stopped waiting on customers and just watched with my note open like everybody else who became an instant fan that night . Harmonics are created by lightly touching the string and then pulling away as you pluck or strum. A lot of us use them as an accent, but I had never seen anyone take it and run with it like that before. So, that became her signature. She has toured Europe and the U.S. in several incarnations. Read her bio here to get an idea of the full scope of this talented lady. In her other life, Lisa works as a healer in Polarity Therapy and works to raise money for the American Polarity Therapy Association. She is also an activist and works with war veterans to make sure they are not forgotten and receive the benefits and treatment they truly deserve. Some folks talk about it. Lisa Nemzo is a doer. Some of the things we talked about include: Visiting the east coast. The Weather - East Coast vs West Coast Body surfing the Atlantic Ocean in Cape May Boogie boarding in the Pacific Ocean Lisa Nemzo’s dad’s secret musical life (What?!) Lisa’s actress/singer mom/ Lisa’s first school play Musical instruments in the family… piano, trumpet, coronet, baritone horn, clarinet, ukulele and guitar Going to L.A. after college to pursue a jazz career, but ending up in a session with Mike Botts from Bread and starting songwriting career Touring for ten years with no product (no album, no cassette, no cd… nothin’). Harmonics. Getting schooled by Tom Rush and developing the Lisa Nemazo signature sound A mentor teaches Lisa to survive as a female musical artist in a man’s world Touring and or opening for Hall and Oates, David Crosby, BB King, David Lindley, Tim Weisberg and many others Links and Resources Strangers In Paradise Listen On Youtube https://youtu.be/QPzDItKKkyQ Buy https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/strangersinparadise2 SONGS Try and Run Harmonics "When it Comes to Love" Track 5 on UNLOCK MY HEART https://youtu.be/CM5Ijmw5j4Q (Lisa Nemzo Webisode #3) Change of Tide Around 1985) https://youtu.be/uQWHyHDzD3o Arlington (and related links) https://www.facebook.com/ArlingtonThe... https://twitter.com/ArlingtonFilm http://www.operationwarriorwellness.org/ One Kind Word https://youtu.be/U4eJQH8-8rA New song… “Wish I Had a Country to Go Home To” https://youtu.be/5MsloRFLKF8 Mentions: Gina Kronstadt, violinist Bruce Michael Miller worked - with from 1985 and 2009 Artie Colatrella good Gary Mazzolla Badass Boots American Polarity Therapy Association John Chitty Current projects: Lisa is looking for people to work with her on a video for One Kind Word
Palmyra Delran is inciting espionage. “Come Spy With Me is an invitation to come for the ride and listen to the record with me,” says the trash-pop maven of her new album on Steven Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records, out November 9. “Plus, spying is all the rage these days. I know there’s a movie from 1967 with the same title as my album, but I haven’t seen it.” Spy builds on Palmyra’s growing notoriety within the Garage Rock universe, which has seen many of her tracks named “Coolest Song In The World” on Little Steven’s Underground Garage. One of them, “Baby Should Have Known Better,” was even SiriusXM listeners’ choice for “Coolest Song Of The Year” in 2008. Another fan favorite, “You’re My Brian Jones,” was a highlight of her last full-length effort, 2013’s You Are What You Absorb.The Doppel Gang consists of bassist Michael Lynch (“a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who’s been in tons of cool bands and released a few records of his own”), drummer Mark Brotter (“he’s played with Hem, Evie Sands, Alan Merrill who wrote “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” and Bowery Boys”) and Richard Dev Greene (“true rock ’n’ roll to the core, he was in Pale Face Of Youth who re- formed as Pale Moon Gang, and he’s doing gigs with the re-formed Plimsouls”).
Alice Merton, Fleetwood Mac, The Plimsouls, Jonn Lang, & The Beatles. Eclectic huh?
You may know Ben Vaughn as a producer of artists such as Los Straightjackets, Charlie Feathers, Ween, or the one-off collaboration between Big Star’s Alex Chilton and Suicide’s Alan Vega, which he talks about in the episode of Berklee Online’s Music Is My Life podcast. Ben Vaughn got his start as the leader of a group called the Ben Vaughn Combo in the 1980s, and got a lot of attention from mainstream press, and inspired favorable cover versions of his tunes by the likes of Marshall Crenshaw, the Plimsouls, Man or Astroman, and more. His big break in the music industry came when he moved out to LA and quickly got a job as a composer for the show “Third Rock from the Sun,” which he composed the theme for. Success on that show led to a gig in the same role on “That 70s Show,” and numerous other shows. He has now comfortably resumed a solo career, and he also hosts a radio show on WXPN in Philly.

Peter Case has had a long and diverse career, which began in the mid Seventies with his first band the Nerves. They didn’t sell a lot of records, but ended up being very influential on many bands that came after. Case fronted the Plimsouls through the mid-Eighties, scoring an MTV hit with “A Million Miles Away.” After his band broke up, and right in the middle of the BIG Eighties, he embarked on an acoustic solo career – embracing roots music, and garnering several Grammy nominations. Now Case is back with his first new album in five years called Hwy 62, and in a way he’s come full circle, with this new record once again embracing acoustic roots music. We talk the five-year gap in between studio albums; how he got hooked up with Ben Harper, who plays great guitar on the record; and the crowd funding campaign he’s running to fund his upcoming tour.

If you downloaded the previous version, you may want to delete that and download this one. It will be much more consistent from start to finish. Starting off this episode is the band Monsoon. While the term monsoon refers to a seasonal reversal of the wind and torrential downpours that occur in areas of SE Asia, it's an unfortunate name, in a sense, for the band led by Sheila Chandra as they produced but a trickle of pop-infused music before disbanding. Just 16 years old at the time of their only album release, Third Eye, in 1982, Chandra, producer Steve Coe and bassist Martin Smith struck proverbial gold with "Ever So Lonely", which peaked at #12 in the UK. They followed that with the song "Shakti", which rose to #41. However, those two songs would prove to be their only hits, though a cover version of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" also appeared on the full-length album and featured one Bill Nelson on the E-Bow. In refusing to tether their fortunes to a record label that demanded more hits, Coe and Smith were free to promote Chandra's solo career, which focused less on pop music and more on world music. She eventually signed with Peter Gabriel's Real World record label, releasing three solo albums in the 1990s. Sadly, Chandra today suffers from Burning Mouth Syndrome, an affliction with no underlying medical or dental cause that produces such severe pain when laughing, crying, speaking, singing, etc. that she was rendered mute and forced to give up her music career. Hailing from Vancouver, BC Canada, The Payolas produced one of the most breathtakingly sensual tracks of the 80s with their amazing song, "Eyes Of A Stranger". A fixture on the Canadian New Wave Scene from the late 70s through the 80s, the band was comprised primarily of core members Paul Hyde and Bob Rock, the latter of whom went on to become a mega-producer/engineer, working with such diverse artists as 311, Metallica, The Cult, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Our Lady Peace, The Tragically Hip and others. Taking their name from the Alan Freed payola scandal of the late 50s, the group won a Juno award for Single of the Year for Eyes Of A Stranger in 1983. (Rock, himself, has been nominated for 17 Juno awards in various musical categories including Engineer of the Year and Producer of the Year) The track would later appear on the Valley Girl soundtrack, a soundtrack that, like Pretty In Pink after it, was great when soundtracks typically were not. Modern English, The Flirts, Men At Work, The Plimsouls, Josie Cotton, Eddy Grant, Gary Myrick and The Figures and others graced that soundtrack, which became a serious collector's item for a long while until being re-issued by Rhino Records in 1994. Sticking with the music industry disillusionment theme from earlier, Mark Griffin (aka MC 900 Ft. Jesus), a music hero from my old stomping grounds of Dallas, Texas eventually quit the business after the release of his third album One Step Ahead Of The Spider, released in 1994. Thankfully he leaves a legacy, albeit brief one, of some of the better cult classics of the era including the arsonists lull-a-bye "The City Sleeps" from 1991's Welcome To My Dream album and the track appearing in this episode, the 12-inch mix of "Truth Is Out Of Style" from his 1989 debut album, Hell With The Lid Off. In case you were wondering, Griffin's stage name derived from a sermon by televangelist Oral Roberts, who claimed he was visited by a 900-foot tall image of Jesus, commanding him to erect a hospital on the campus of the university bearing his namesake. Despite his short music career, Griffin's American heritage at the very least was a blessing in disguise as MC 270-Meter Jesus somehow just doesn't have the same ring to it. I'm going to end this here. I still have another podcast write-up to do and a couple of podcasts ready to record, so I'm going to have to end this here. Happy Listening!
The Clarks became a rock-n-roll band in the fall of 1986 at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. They played their favorite songs by their musical heroes in the basements of houses and the corners of bars, sometimes for a hundred dollars, but usually just for free beer. They covered the Rave-Ups, the Plimsouls, Hoodoo Gurus, and created a template for their own music. The Clarks made records, toured the country, and played on Letterman. They started families, wrote more songs about love and loss, and were honored by their alma mater. They reached a point, nearly thirty years on, where they wanted to revisit the music that inspired them in the first place. They made an album called Rewind, a collection of classics by R.E.M., the Replacements, and the Rolling Stones. They took another step forward, this time by looking back. One of their songs was used in an episode of "The Simpsons." http://www.clarksonline.com/ The Clarks are (L-R): Robert James: Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Vocals David Minarik, Jr.: Drums, Vocals. Scott Blasey: Lead Vocals, Electric & Acoustic Guitars Greg Joseph: Bass Guitar, Vocals

Welcome to Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World, the 241st show of that name, if you can believe it. The long march to episode #500 continues, and I'm almost halfway there. Summer seems to have finally arrived in Seattle. Temperatures are pushing the mercury up above 80 degrees, which around here is pretty warm. The skies are blue, the nights are long (not Alaska long, but long enough) and it does indeed seem like the dog days are here at last. As Natalie Babbit put it: "These are strange and breathless days, the dog days, when people are led to do things they are sure to be sorry for after." Well, I don't think I've done anything on this week's show that I will be sorry for after, but you'll have to listen and judge for yourself.
