Thump and Growl: What do Glenn Beck, Kathie Black, the federal government, and Kimberly Massengill all have in common?

What do Glenn Beck, Kathie Black, the federal government, and Kimberly Massengill all have in common?

Last week I requested and was granted a leave of absence from WPKN. Program Director Rod Richardson was a mensch about it, and assured me my time slot would be held until my return. I wanna thank my Connecticut and Long Island listeners in advance for their patience and support, and invite them to tune in to my NYC show in the meantime. Tuesdays 10-noon on WBAI 99.5 FM, streamed and archived at http://www.wbai.org/. There'll also be a fragrant and varied bouquet of 'PKN hosts filling in for me there (preesh, Folks!), so please check them out, as well. Hope everybody has a pleasant, government-free weekend.

Tuesdays, 10-noon

'60s Soul, '70s Funk, slowcore, Trip-Hop, Jangle Pop, Devil Twang, quirk, da riddim, Gospel (fat and black only, please), Indie Rock for Grown-Ups™, draggy, buzzy Jazz no one would ever mistake for smooth, downtempo electronica, as long as I don't have to say the word 'electronica,' most things rockin' the 'Afro' prefix, breathy vocals by folks who can't quite sing, smacky, lumbering psychedelithump, less than flattering songs about Jesus, old style crooners sporting impressive amounts of hair product, the slow, grindy grooves a junkie stripper would probably dig, Blues by musicians wearing hats of some sort, songs sung in languages I don't understand, good covers of bad songs and bad covers of good songs.
