Music Sunday, KEXP, Larry’s Lounge
Hey folks,
Earlier this week, I Slogged about my search for the original recording of “Money Changes Everything,” by the Brains.
Later that day, I Slogged about the number of people that wrote in to help, one of them being KEXP’s Larry Rose, who offered to spin the track as part of his “Larry’s Lounge” show this Sunday afternoon from 3-6 pm.
After that, Larry kindly asked me to pitch a few more early ’80s songs that I love, for an “all David Schmader-request” mini-set on this Sunday’s show.
Of course I did (don’t gotta ask me twice) and now it’s worked out that I’ll be showing up to help Larry introduce the songs live on air. Ain’t Slog grand?
If you’re interested, tune in to KEXP this Sunday—I’ll be joining Larry at 4 pm for a set of beloved-by-me early ’80s ditties drawn from KEXP’s vast vinyl library. (No final set list yet, but so far nominees include treasures from the Brains (duh), the Nerves, the Smiths, Funky Four Plus One, New Order, Roxanne Shante, and Prince.)
"Temptation" or "Blue Monday"? How about "Rip It Up" by Orange Juice? Haircut 100, anyone?
