It’s an honor Barney Greenway on the show this week to talk about “Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism” and the general stat of this crazy moment in time we’re living in.Intro:“The Curse of Being in Thrall”Outro:“Joie De Ne Pas Vivre”

Ep. 88
Me and Randy are back this week with another classic records episode. This one is for the New York / New Jersey peeps in particular.Circus or Power released their seminal record Vices back in 1990. It stands apart with its stories of down-and-out loners, journeys through the seedy underbelly of New York City, punk-infused blues riffs and a lyrical darkness calls to mind the best of Leadbelly, Howlin’ Wolf and Roy Orbison.Intro:“Vices”Outro:“In the Wind”

87: Modern Darkness Evan Patterson Jaye Jayle

Ep. 87
I’ve been tracking Evan Patterson’s career for over twenty years. Jaye Jayle is his latest creative endeavor and his most accomplished, creating stark landscapes and broad sound horizons, concurrently somber and cathartic. It’s music for long drives or possibly a modern Jim Thompson adaptation. I spoke with Evan on the day his new record Prisyn was released.Intro:“River Spree”Outro: “Ode to Betsy”
