This Week in the Shack

I haven't been posting the notices of repeat sets, although the station has mostly been keeping up weekly broadcasts, albeit in reruns. That will continue for the next week, as I'm recovering from a weekend-long blues dance workshop and will be DJing three nights in the upcoming week. Hopefully, I'll start posting new sets after that.

This week's show repeats a program of mostly Texas blues from July 2010.

This Week in the Shack

A couple of days ago, the father/father-in-law of two of my closest friends passed away, and I was asked to create a playlist of New Orleans music for the wake. For the last few weeks, it's seemed as if death decided to hang out amongst my friends, as so many have lost loved ones - and that project sort of expanded upon itself to become this week's radio show, one that begins with traditional hymns, then, turns to more upbeat music.

"The rule was, you played them into the cemetery with sadness, but you left grief at the side of the grave. You'd remember them...but the pain would go into the tomb with the coffin, dead and buried. When the funeral procession emerged from the gates of the St. Louis Cemetery and crossed Rue des Ramparts to make its way back to the dead man's home, the music would be the strut of joy and pride, a gesture of happy defiance waved under Death's pinched nose. You might have snatched our friend from out of our midst, but all you got was dirt and bones. God's got his soul, and we have the memory of his laugh.
--Barbara Hambly, "Dead and Buried"



This week's show is for the loved ones of my friends and loved ones who have passed in the last few weeks: Richard Wright, Mandy Akin McRae, Ed Stapp, Barbara Des Chenes, Amanda Horstman, Lani's grandfather, and Susan's mother.

This Week in the Shack

What we suddenly understood, if we hadn't known it before, was that some cities mean something to us. They are cities that somehow become a definition of ourselves. We don't have to travel to see them, to walk along their streets, we only have to know they are there. Who would want to live in a world without Paris? Or London? Rio de Janeiro, Rome, or New York?...Even if we never make the journey, we want cities like this to be there. Our lives would be diminished, somehow more barren and flat, without them.

Eighties Friday

The Wire has eaten my evening, so this week's eighties show is another rerun. I'll put up a new show next Friday.

This Week in the Shack

This week's show is dedicated to a longtime fixture on the Austin music scene, a legendary bluesmen, and a real gentleman of the old school, Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins, who passed away yesterday.

One of the problems of having a mostly-digital collection of music is that I don't have the liner notes for a substantial portion of my library, but, with a few exceptions, and within the limitations of the DMCA, this set is almost entirely tracks Pinetop played on. I'm not entirely sure if that's him on the Robert Nighthawk tracks, although I know he contributed to some of the recordings on that collection. Also, because the DMCA restricts how many tunes by a specific artist or from a specific album can be played over a block of time, there are a handful of tracks without him: Marcia Ball's "Down the Road", Cotton's "Down at Your Buryin'", Cary Bell & Lurrie Bell's "Wrapped Up in Love", and Snooky Pryor's "Nine Below Zero" don't feature Pinetop, although he played with all of those artists. And the Sunnyland Slim track is just a really nice recording of "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie".

The last time I saw Pinetop play was about three years ago, when he was already well into his nineties. He was on stage with another Muddy Waters veteran, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, and they were tearing the stage at Antone's up. He was always a class act, and it's hard right now to think about the blues scene here, and Antone's specifically, without him.

Goodbye, Pinetop. Thank you for the music and the memories.

This Week in the Shack

With carnival now season over, this week I'm rerunning my gospel set from last summer.

Happy Texas Independence Day

Tomorrow, March 2, is the 175th anniversary of the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence. I'm interrupting this week's Mardi Gras set to rerun this set of Texas music from last fall. The regularly scheduled set will resume Wednesday.

This Week in the Shack

It's Mardi Gras time, and this week's show is all New Orleans and Lousiana music. It will stay up until the end of the night on Fat Tuesday (or, rather, New Orleans music will be playing until then - I may switch out some of my past Mardi Gras sets over the weekend if I feel like it).

Eighties Friday

This is my first new eighties set since, um, Halloween. Maybe I should go back to calling it "Irregular Eighties Fridays".

Anyway. Right. Eighties music. Continuing to show that there were actually more good songs recorded in the decade than the twelve or fifteen that crappy Clear Channel stations cycle through in their half-assed retro shows.

As always, I hope you dig them. Next week will see a new show for the week, another eighties set (probably a rerun, as I'm DJing live quite a lot right now), and very probably some additional posts that aren't just playlists.

A Request to the Hivemind

If you know of good writing on the downtown NYC live music club scene in the late 70s/ early 80s (The Mudd Club, Danceteria, The Roxy, CBGBs, etc.), please drop me a line and tip me off to it. I've read Yes Yes, Y'all and Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, and have All Hopped Up and Ready to Go near the top of my stack of books to read. I can't help feeling that there must be more out there, though, particularly on that area where punk and hip-hop were brushing up against each other in the clubs.

This Week in the Shack

This week's set is based around a set I played at Kick Butt Blues a few weeks back, so it's mostly - but not entirely - blues. As always, I hope you dig it.

I'll begin posting about some of the music I'm listening to later this week, and hopefully get started on some reviews of the stack of books on music history I've been reading lately, too.
