	♥ 5:00pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "You Ain't Going Nowhere" by "Tom Petty & The Hear... Very sweet version.
	5:02pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Digging all this, one of cooler things Campbell’s done recently is produce Marty Stuart’s WAY OUT WEST, which plays like another kind of soundtrack to an imaginary cosmic western. Really one of my favorite records to drive around with.
	5:02pm paddy in matawan: 90s shitty radio, before I discovered FMU, killed Tom Petty for me with the same songs a million times. Same is it did for so many other great artists. It's nice to take a break from something and revisit it in proper fashion.
	5:02pm Fredericks: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @4:57 Makes it all almost ironic, no?
	5:02pm clarke: ↳ Dungaroos Kipawah @5:02 true!

	5:28pm DGF: ↳ Dungaroos Kipawah @5:23 The production on that sounds like a Lanois thing. MC should do more production

	5:53pm Joe Castrianni: When Rick Rubin was recording one of the Johnny Cash records, Joe was hanging out all day hoping to record a duet. When Rick told Johnny that Joe was in a band that had reggae influences, they tried a few before deciding on this. When Joe passed away while working on Streetcore, Rick sent them this version to fill the album out. The duet version, which is great, was eventually released on the Cash Unearthed box set. There’s also an iconic photo of Joe resting his head on Johnny’s chest.

Bay Area musician Logan Ledger writes beautiful and stately songs. With roots in country, bluegrass and folk, Logan states that "I've always believed that in order to create something new with purpose, one must be steeped in the past and work from within the tradition". A Rounder Records recording artist, Logan will be appearing at Skinny Dennis in Brooklyn on March 25th.
The Lotts hail from Warrington in The United Kingdom. The 4 piece combo plays a wild amalgamation of wild 60's garage and 70's punk that creates something uniquely their own. Their amazing live show is not to be missed. Catch them at Ghosthawk Brewery in Clifton on March 26th and be sure and grab their new 45, "Zero Zero"/"Stop And Think It Over" on Swelltune Records.
Sat. Apr 5th, 3pm - 6pm: Dave Alvin/Dirty Fences (More info...)
Dave Alvin is best known for his work with The Blasters. The Blasters stormed out of Downey, California in the early 1980's on the basis of such great songs as "Marie Marie", "Border Radio", "American Music" and more. After leaving The Blasters, Dave went on to perform in X and The Knitters, as well as having an illustrious solo career. On 4/19 Liberation Hall Records releases the 5 LP set: "The Blasters: An American Music Story - The Complete Studio Recordings 1979-1985".

	5:02pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Digging all this, one of cooler things Campbell’s done recently is produce Marty Stuart’s WAY OUT WEST, which plays like another kind of soundtrack to an imaginary cosmic western. Really one of my favorite records to drive around with.
	5:02pm paddy in matawan: 90s shitty radio, before I discovered FMU, killed Tom Petty for me with the same songs a million times. Same is it did for so many other great artists. It's nice to take a break from something and revisit it in proper fashion.

	5:53pm Joe Castrianni: When Rick Rubin was recording one of the Johnny Cash records, Joe was hanging out all day hoping to record a duet. When Rick told Johnny that Joe was in a band that had reggae influences, they tried a few before deciding on this. When Joe passed away while working on Streetcore, Rick sent them this version to fill the album out. The duet version, which is great, was eventually released on the Cash Unearthed box set. There’s also an iconic photo of Joe resting his head on Johnny’s chest.
