Rock Town Hall’s Saturday Night Shut-In: Under Glass

Mar 262011

Sounds of the Hall in roughly 33 1/3 minutes!

This week’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In find Mr. Moderator in a particularly mellow mood. What’s that line from that Clash song, “Who gives you work, and why should you do it?” Sometimes a Townsperson’s got to sit back and reflect on the week that was—and the week that sometimes seems it will ever be. We’re taking tonight’s episode “under glass.” Enjoy.

Rock Town Hall’s Saturday Night Shut-In: A Dip Into the “Milk” Crate

In this week’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In Mr. Moderator dips into his so-called “Milk” crate, that is, his stack of rarely played, cheaply acquired used records that as much as 30 years ago he hoped would pay off. Rather than dump these records, he revisits them every few years in hopes that they will have aged properly and, as boring, old milk can age into something delicious, like cheese or yogurt, finally reveal their subtle delights. Why don’t you tune in and hear the results of this taste test, which is capped off by a sampling of a very deep Richard Harris album?

In this week’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In Mr. Moderator dips, almost exclusively, into the New Releases bin, spinning records he’s never before heard by bands, in some cases, he’s never previously heard. See whether Mikey likes any of them. See if you do too.

This week’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In features the return of Townsman Hrrundivbakshi at the mic and his collection of “rescued” records. HVB’s penchant for trashpicking records from the dustbins of our nation’s capital proves to be a sound practice on both environmental and economic levels. Get this man a Cabinet position! Better yet, let’s let the man set up this week’s episode:

Greetings, seekers of the weird, the rare, the unusual, and the literally near-worthless! I come to you again in Saturday Night Shut-In form, bringing a wide variety of tunes culled from the thrift stores, yard sales, and garbage cans of our proud nation’s capitol.

This week, our installment features a wide variety of genres, from garage soul to pop to Latin boogaloo—and, as part of our ongoing effort to send mellow, peaceful healing vibes to our man Sammymaudlin, an unusually generous helping of tunes you can really RELAX to. So here’s to you, Samulah—get well soon!

HVB

Rock Town Hall’s Saturday Night Shut-In: “Live” and Snarling!

This week’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In features a mellowed Mr. Moderator, who’s smarting slightly from the news that the beloved Steppenwolf Live album of his youth was actually one of those fake, in-studio “live” albums, with overdubbed audience noises. Fear not, your host doesn’t harp on this news, but I think it affects the evening’s overall mood. Before this realization gets him down, however, there’s some ’80s neo-garage-psych, a stunning instrumental from someone called Delicate Steve, and more.
