Welcome to the crazy world of Larry Sassatelli - high priest of the late sixties freak beat guitar and mystic lord of early 70s proto-punk. Larry was kind enough to sit down with DJ Li Po and Gatsby Fassbinder to give the lowdown on that amazing blur of an era 1965-1973.

This episode explores the music of the 90's that was harder-edge and guitar-washed. With music by PJ Harvey, The Muffs, Alice in Chains, and the like. Also some Bikini Kill, Husker Du and Stranglers for good measure.

This episode is was inspired by Steve McQueen's movie, "Lovers' Rock". Ideal tunes for snuggling on the couch.

Wherein Island Girl plays some of Violet Crumble's favorites in honor of her birthday. No party this year, so great music will have to serve instead.

All kinds of dance tunes suitable for celebrating a successful election campaign, the joy of a street party, or just a simple little dance session in your living room. Funk, soul, and disco designed to get your feet moving. Have fun!

Wherein Island Girl shares the amazing music of Marc Bolan/T. Rex. This show was inspired by the release of Angelheaded Hipster, an album of Marc Bolan covers compiled by the late Hal Wilner. There's also some Velvet Goldmine, David Bowie, and a few glam also-rans. Enjoy!

This week is a deep dive into the Paisley Underground, where a handful of bands kept the flame of psychedelia alive and well during the dark days of the 80’s.
It is all about four bands from the germination of this scene, but will include some like-minded thinkers who love this music. This one is dedicated to my dear lost friend Karin Spies, who first introduced me to the Salvation Army.

Dreaming of cancelled 2020 travel plans? Today's show will take you all OVER this world.

"One learns by moving from the familiar to the unfamiliar, and while it might sound incongruous at first, the step from the spirituality of the spirituals to that of the Beethoven of the symphonies or the Bach of the chorales is not as vast as it seems. Nor is the romanticism of a Brahms or Chopin completely unrelated to that of Louis Armstrong."
Ralph Ellison (1955)
