The core of Big Planet Noise was formed when Bob Irwin was just 5 years old. The day he picked up his first 45, the whole thing set to spinning – and records and music have been pretty much all he’s thought about ever since. Avocation eventually became vocation, leading to Sundazed Music and Modern Harmonic, all drawing inspiration from Bob’s legendary collection. But, what good is having so many records if no-one else can hear them with you?


Big Planet Noise is Bob’s way of inviting everyone over to hang out in the music room while he and co-host Gina Bacon flip through the stacks and play great records. And – the BPN chat room is where the action is… they yak about what’s on the turntable, tell stories, backstories, and share what was had for dinner, friends ’n family style. Gina keeps the celestial orbit steady-as-it-goes; making sure the stylus stays in the groove, the stacks don’t teeter and the drinks don’t spill all over the console. NB: Gina can also be heard on Saturday afternoons as the host of Someday Matinee (also on WFMU's Give The Drummer Radio stream), a show filled with live musical performances and artist interviews, direct from Music City.


There’s a reason it’s called Big Planet Noise… the show covers a lot of musical ground; familiar, forgotten, unheralded, unheard… The sonic menu is ever-changing; you’ll hear oddball teens, psychedelic wizards, mod lads, sitar savants, space-cadets, groovy soundtracks, and maybe even some bossa nova, when it feels right.

Wow. That's amazing Tom. What turns you off? Curious, for real. Cause i love much of it.
Avatar 8:30pm
bigplanetnoise:

This record is SO f&%king good. If it was a small unknown label, it'd be a couple hundred bucks.
Avatar 8:34pm
Mailman Tom:

CSNY sounded too commercial and mainstream to my ears. At the time, I was listening to a lot of psychedelic and underground music, and this group was too "pretty" for me.
Avatar 8:36pm
bigplanetnoise:

Ah. So who was your favorite at that time? I always thought that CSN was fairly organic in the beginning and it was one of the few times where the record companies and press actually followed the lead of the music and the musicians. I never got the impression that CSN set our to deliberately create a commercial enterprise. In the beginning, I mean.

I get that, Tom...I loved them early, and then later on decided they were too soft sounding. But not for long!

From the NAMM oral history project: "Glenn Snoddy was working in the recording studio in Nashville, when a short on the control board caused Grady Martin's guitar to take on a new sound. The engineers and producer looked at one another and asked if they heard that fuzzy sound. That sound was later requested by other artists who sought the studio out. So, Glenn went home and designed an effects box that was later sold to Gibson with the same name Glenn gave the device, the Fuzz Tone!" The great Grady Martin!!!
