I have very few strong memories from my childhood but two that I do have are tied to music. The first is of how happy I was to receive copies of A Hard Day's Night and Twist and Shout (in mono, no less) for my 7th birthday in 1964. The second is of how totally blown away I was when I heard Satisfaction for the first time playing out of a tiny transistor radio in the schoolyard in 1965. It was all downhill from there. I was totally hooked and have remained a lifelong fan of rock music ever since.

My shows are typically free-form in the classic sense. I play loud music and soft music (more loud than soft) and new music and old music (in roughly equal amounts). I am a fan of most genres of rock/pop music and there is very little rock/pop music that I can't at least tolerate. Some of my favorite artists from the glory years of rock are the Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds, the Stooges, Roxy Music and the Velvet Underground. Some of my favorite more contemporary artists are Sonic Youth, the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Sex Pistols, the Feelies, Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3, Husker Du, the Verve, Galaxie 500, Jay Reatard/the Reatards and Pavement and some of my favorite artists of the moment are Ty Segall, Wavves, The Black Angels, Kurt Vile, A Place to Bury Strangers, Wooden Shjips, Weekend and Eternal Tapestry. While you will hear a good samplng of these particular artists on my shows you will also hear great music from innumerable other great artists. Enjoy!
