PROGRAMMING:
NEXT SHOW will be published late this week. You will hear music in several segments of top touring indie/DIY/underground songwriters and bands.
RCB Novus Ordo is a separate podcast with 8 songs, one each from a brand new recording. I spin the music and give you the backstory of each artist.

THE LATEST:
I’ve been busier with finding work and opportunity for same. In so doing, I’ve continued to keep my confidence rather high, regardless of the very idea that I might be evicted. The big news is that I did receive correspondence from the apartment owner’s lawyers, giving me 15 days to contest collections, followed by an official complaint. The court date is September 26. I have not made plans to move and I do not know where I might live that would allow me to pursue work and this radio project, among other matters. I also could use a really good landlord/tenant attorney. The only bargaining chip I might have is if I have promise of work and the ability to pay back rent. Otherwise I’m not sure what I’ll do.
Comcast was able to solve my network cable issues, whereas my connection was very slow to download and stream anything. During the relative downtime, the only matter I couldn’t solve was getting last week’s podcast available on the Internet Archive. Today, finally, I did successfully completed the upload and here’s where you can access it:

RCB REWIND: A tradition started some years ago focused on this one song by The Velvet Underground, “The Gift”, which has its setting in mid-August. From there I would typically, go into some sort of psychedelic or European segue. This year I catered to the Francophiles..with the infectious “Bongo Bong” by Manu Chao…and music from the great band Luna..who toured with VU in 1991. Luna’s tune “Bonnie & Clyde” was first popularized by Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot. The version I spun is NOT the one from the Penthouse album but from Lunafied, an album of covers. Segment 1: Debut of Amy Ray’s new album; she, of course, is one half of The Indigo Girls. Another new tune from Red Molly’s outstanding album is heard, and a Neil Young cover by Miss Tess & The Talkbacks follows. Yes, kept to Americana for this segment. Segment 2 starts out with Americana at least, and another new song from Carrie Elkin & Danny Schmidt. The duo, along with The Steel Wheels & The Slambovian Circus Of Dreams were part of this past weekend’s Porcupine Mountains Music Festival in Ontonagon Michigan. Butcher’s Blind, Jiggley Jones, & Jeanette Lynne shared billing at The Legendary Dobbs on legendary South Street here in Philly. Star Anna debuts here also. She’s a Pacific Northwest songwriter blending rock and country. Segment 3: Matt Harlan, James & Curtis McMurtry & Rod Picott’s music have all come to you thanks to one Jenni Finlay of Austin TX. The PR firm she runs under her name turned 8 years young this past week with the aforementioned names performing. Curtis is James’s son and makes an auspicious debut. Too Slim & The Taildraggers shares billing with Zoe Muth at the Pigout in the Park Festival, Spokane WA. Segment 4 returns Jon Regen to my airwaves. Also spun music of several artists that will appear in next month’s Connecticut Folk Festival in New Haven. Final segment includes the members of the touring No Fuss And Feathers Road Show (Carolann Solebello, Karyn Oliver, The YaYas). Jenee Halstead & Danielle Miraglia have a podcast of their own, and did a split-bill online-only concert last week.
