For this show I got to occupy the Thursday Night Wildcard slot (formerly held down by K-Rob with Stimulus Regression Programming, now given over to a different DJ each week – anyone on our staff who wants to come in to the studio and do an unscheduled show, basically). The late Ira Cohen, the globetrotting visionary poet who left this plane/planet earlier this year, opened the program with a solo spoken word track from The Majoon Traveler, a fantastic collaboration with local DJ Cheb I Sabbah released by Sub Rosa some years ago. Andy Pratt‘s “Avenging Annie” was a WBCN classic from my younger days spent listening to the radio growing up back in Boston. The rest of the show was comprised of old favorites like Big Star, Lisa Germano and Sparks, along with a few more recent discoveries (I can’t get enough of the deleriously imaginative recordings Andrew Liles has been putting out over the past year or two). I don’t think it will be long before I come back and do another Ferrara’s Enchanted Jukebox some Thursday night soon…
