20 NOV 2024 · Author Jeff Apter is back for his third appearance on the podcast. He’s just released the book Carl Perkins: The King of Rockabilly. The definitive and fascinating biography of the musical trailblazer who wrote the classic “Blue Suede Shoes” and was the influence behind countless other legendary hits, a rock and roll legend in his own right, and the original rockabilly cat—Carl Perkins.
The artists that are primarily covered in this podcast, the classic rock artists and bands from the mid 60s to mid 90s, are standing on the shoulders of the giants before them including Carl Perkins. A true pioneer, a groundbreaking guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Paul McCartney once said, “If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles.” Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix performed and recorded his songs and became Carl’s friends, collaborators, and champions. We’re going to find out about Carl’s early life in Tennessee, how music came into his life, his rise to prominence, along with the many tragedies in his life including a fateful car crash that stalled his career.

16 NOV 2024 · This episode’s guest is Eric Drooker, the author of the new graphic novel titled Naked City. On the edge of the city, three bohemians struggle to answer the question: “Is it possible to survive as an artist in the 21st-century?” A young singer with no family hitchhikes to the city and sings her heart out. Late one night she encounters a street dancer who inspires her to have faith in her music no matter the cost. Desperate for rent money, she poses for a painter who has shifted from landscapes to nudes, and both of them learn a thing or two about the purpose of art and the meaning of success.
Eric Drooker’s drawings and posters are a familiar sight in the global street art movement, and his paintings appear frequently on covers of The New Yorker. His editorial illustrations have been seen in Nation, the New York Times, the Progressive, and more. His first book, Flood!: A Novel in Pictures, won the American Book Award, followed by Blood Song (soon to be a major motion picture). His graphic novels have been translated into seven languages. After designing the animation for the film Howl, Drooker was hired by DreamWorks Animation. His art is in the permanent collections of many museums including the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Library of Congress. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

3 NOV 2024 · Author Chris Sutton returns to the podcast. He’s here to talk about his latest book Sparks 1969 to 1979: Every Album, Every Song. It’s part of Sonicbond’s On Track series. Beginning as a five-man band, the duo of Ron and Russell Mael retained the name and spent much of the seventies working with a succession of sidemen and collaborators. They ended the seventies on a high note with the collaboration with Italian composer and producer Giorgio Moroder for top 20 UK hit “No. 1 In Heaven”. Many who worked on Sparks records have shared their thoughts in the book. The popularity of Sparks has grown over the decades. In 2023 they sold out two nights at the Royal Albert Hall!

30 OCT 2024 · Author Suzanne Mattaboni is this episode’s guest. She recently released the second edition of her novel, Once In a Lifetime, a coming-of-age story set in the mid-1980s against a backdrop of vibrant music and art. The main character, an ambitious, new wave-influenced art student from Long Island who’s dying to kick-start her career—and her love life for that matter. She’s saving to get overseas to London, where the excitement of the post-punk era is coming to a head. To save for the trip, artsy Jessica and her avant-garde roommates take jobs in a progressive restaurant town on the Delaware River, where they deal with waitressing chaos, mystics, punk clubs, drag queens, mosh pits, and other assorted tribulations in an effort for Jess to find out what “real life” beyond the college classroom is like. Then she meets a daredevil new wave guitarist who spins her head like a record, potentially distracting her from her goals. In addition to an awesome backing soundtrack, the book leverages feminist themes, since the women of the ‘80s were the first generation to be told they could “have it all”—love, education, friendships, meaning, sex, careers, happiness, you name it. Except maybe the world wasn’t completely ready for those women to have it all. Which was a tough wall to push down. And this still resonates today.
Suzanne is on the show to talk about the book, what inspired storyline, the characters in the book, her experiences being a women of the ‘80s and more.

16 OCT 2024 · Back in June, I had author David Cain on to tell us about his book Infinite Dead: A Daily Guide to Grateful Dead Concert Performances Volume 2: July. I wanted to have him back on to talk about the first volume, which covers all the Dead shows during October. David made some time to come back on and I’m so glad he did. Very few bands deserve an in-depth look at a band’s live show, the Grateful Dead is at the top of that list.
Infinite Dead is a new, groundbreaking guide to Grateful Dead concerts. Authoritative and entertaining, Volume 1 features detailed reviews of every Grateful Dead concert performed in the month of October—over 200 shows, including:
- The three-set, acoustic-electric performances at The Warfield in San Francisco and Radio City Music Hall in New York City;
- Their five-night “final” stand at the Winterland Ballroom in 1974; and
- Thirteen Halloween performances, from their first in 1966 to their last in 1991.
Also included in this volume is the band’s revival of “Dark Star” (10/9/89 Hampton Coliseum), “St. Stephen” (10/11/83 Madison Square Garden), and “Turn On Your Love Light” (10/16/81 Melkweg). What better month to talk about The Dead than the month of October!
David Cain has been listening to the music of the Grateful Dead for over forty years, including seeing live performances of the band in twenty-five cities in thirteen states during the course of three decades. David’s writing on music, sports, and other subjects has appeared in publications ranging from Addicted To Noise to USA Today’s Baseball Weekly. David lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
