PROGRAMMING:
NEXT SHOW will be published on or about May 8 and will be available
for about 1 year. You will hear music in several segments of top
indie/DIY/underground songwriters and bands.
ALSO: I will air 2 more songs David Uoskkinen’s In The Pocket: Essential Songs Of Philadelphia “Sessions” album. This concept album contains 10 songs, all from artists with strong Philly ties. RCB Novus Ordo is a separate podcast with 6-8 songs, one each from a brand new recording. I spin the music and give you the backstory of each artist.

*****
NEW SPONSORSHIP: Moozikoo, a music production company based in Nashville, have come aboard to champion radio Crystal Blue. Moozikoo promotes indie music via their website and a studio presence called Moozikoo Live. They also sell band and concert material such as tshirts and posters. You can even hear a recent RCB Novus Ordo program. Have a look and listen at www.moozikoo.com
I am happy to mention your product or service on the air, and in emails and on my website. Email me for details.
 
STITCHER is a new presence on the Web with which to hear podcasts. You can download or use Stitcher to listen to Radio Crystal Blue on your iPod, iPhone or Android device. Main link:
http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/radio-crystal-blue
 
Fleshing out the vision: This past week I became enamored with the idea of 1-3 day travel to other cities to see a number of music events and meet people such as the bands and artists you’ve heard me spin music of for years. I have other plans besides music for traveling as well. Not being a driver, it’s not as easy a task as you might think, but there are enough buses and trains and even intercity travel that I can use on the cheap. I don’t have the capability right now to truly take my podcast on the road, but I am thinking strongly about taking such steps, based on its practicality, price, etc. One step to take is getting a laptop, which I am saving for. (Yes, I’m one of those that still uses a desktop).
 
 
RCB REWIND:
RCB Novus Ordo: Milwaukee’s finest in terms of blues & R&B, Tweed Funk, make a triumphant return to RCB airwaves with an album borrowing somewhat from the Memphis studio sound. Violet Machine is a promising indie rock trio in Brooklyn NY. I absolutely love their guitar tone..evocative of post-punk. Songwriter Andrew Tinker, a founding member of the Polyphonic Spree, releases his 2nd solo album, playing guitar and piano.
 
RCB proper: I gave Sweden’s The Plastic Pals airplay in Segment 2. Reading that they were opening for The Dream Syndicate on 3/2 I decided to get out some Steve Wynn’s solo material. The song I spun “Second Best” is exclusive to the Fever Pitch movie soundtrack. You know the movie, with the ending at Fenway Park? Music from Ivy, Marah, Tears For Fears an0d the Dropkick Murphys are the highlights on that album. Gave you 2 other bands with good pop-rock chops themselves, namely Golden Smog and Ryan Adams’ old outfit Whiskeytown. Into Segment 1: Brand new music from Owen Danoff, the enging “Never Been Kisses” ready for radio here and elsewhere. Also notable is new music from Ray Lambiase, whose debut a few weeks ago on RCB Novus Ordo was just outstanding. A few artists performing at the Montauk Music Festival were heard. Yes, the snippets of audio before and after Kevin McWha Steele’s “Stay With Her” are also his. Segment 2: Bryan Dunn & Pi Jacobs appeared on the same large showcase at Rockwood Music Hall on 5/1. Checking in from the UK, MJ Hibbett & The Validators are doing what are now rare gigs together and are more active this month. Recently MJ remarked that it’s the 10th anniversary of his song “Hey Hey 16K” considered the first Internet-based single. I chose to spin a tune from an earlier album of the band’s. RCB debut here from folk rock band The Currys, who shared billing with Flagship Romance at the Gamble Rogers Festival last week, in St. Augustine FL. Antigone Rising puts more country into their rock with a new EP (Garrison Starr co-writes the song I spun). Mary Gauthier featured in Segment 3, following a tender love song by Antje Duvekot. Chris Smither & Hurray For The Riff Raff (hurray indeed!) shared billing billing in last week’s New Orleans Jazz Festival. New album from Tae Phoenix (what a voice) kicks off segment 4.
 

SUBMISSION GUIDLINES
I focus on CDs as opposed to downloads, though I make exceptions in the event of albums that are digital releases only. Music must have a 2014 release date or not released otherwise before Sugust 2013. All new albums debut on RCB Novus Ordo; on rare exception, some debut on Radio Crystal Blue proper.
I’m also interested in featuring, great compilation or soundtrack albums track-for-track, to help tell the story of those albums.

RCB REWIND:
RCB Novus Ordo: What is there to say about Vance Gilbert? Elements of every type of Vance song is in the one I spun this week, which actually is a little more uptempo than others. The humor, the perspective, it’s all there. Kerri Powers and that voice of hers….heard in full expression on her newest album that you’ll hear when you download or stream this podcast.
 
RCB proper: Yes you do hear The Waybacks in Segment 1. They do just a handful of shows a year now, and played at Merlefest this past weekend, along with The Steel Wheels. Carolann Solebello, The YaYas, and Karyn Oliver–they are the No Fuss And Feathers Roadshow, and you hear them in this segment, if you download or stream this podcast. Segment 2 repeats a new single by Sugar Lime Blue and another hard-hitter by The Halley DeVestern Bend. Patty Smyth from the band Scandal takes lead vocals on a new version of a classic Philly song. It actually reminds me of a few Pretenders tunes. Segments 3 and 4 run from unique songwriter-oriented material to Americana to folk. I particularly like Ben Bedford’s tune “What We Lost”, a well-written one at that.

My personal and radio vision (4/28/2014)


In the last 10 months of writing a vision, I did see some goals come to fruition, and it leaves the mark on how far I must go For that I’m quite thankful.
*I found two jobs that I held for short periods that provide a good deal of income to supplement my savings, doing work that I’m quite skilled in, the pay I wanted, and in the case of one job, a very good commute.
*I came into some income via gambling that also took care of some immediate debts, namely the rent.
*I built a sports/stat blog and a companion Twitter account to have a proper outlet for another area of life, outside radio, that occupies my mind and time and talents.
*My health is delicate at times, but I understand the warning signals and I take proper occur if one occurs. I attend healing events when I feel urged to go.
*Bought a camera that has better visual properties than the previous one. The audio from the video aspects is somewhat lacking but there may be some way to improve on it.
***
I bother to share my vision on my radio website because, as with my show itself, I’m fairly honest about what goes on in my life without getting terribly specific. Having a show that is driven by one person, myself, I take the responsibility of making it work. There are times I wonder how it will get done. But, somehow it does, and it’s something I want to continue. Not just for the sake of radio, but also as an avenue for sharing my opinions and outlook on life with you. To think that, some 20, 25 years ago, I was a real shadow of myself that didn’t have a purpose to his life, who learned to speak up out of fear and through shame. That self is all but non-existent. I am understanding how to live and believe on my terms.

My finances have remained rather low in the last year, except for parts of 4 months where I was working full-time and was able to save for necessary items. I had uncovered resources re eviction so, if and when the time comes, I know whom to turn to.

One person I’ve turned to from afar for guidance and perspective is Derek Rydall, creator of The Law of Emergence. His latest online post has to do with the matter of future. He quotes Gandhi “The future depends on what you do today”. Wow! That sense of today, the now, is always happening and in present existence, and simply is. All that I wish for, that which is in my vision, is, in fact, happening now. It’s not later, it’s not a maybe, a probability or something predicated on past tense. That which I desire for my life exists within and is real and emerging. At times I find Derek’s writing and speaking most encouraging. He ‘gets it’ in my view.
I get it too, but the difference is practical application. Maybe some that is impractical!
This update is long in coming but it reflects the now, typed this late April day. Plans will change, circumstances will come and go like the clouds and fronts. So I suppose it’s dangerous to set into stone, or frame on a website, what my plans are. We know what happens when we make plans, don’t we?
Here we go.
***
This vision does not have a timeline, but it is a list of things I want to accomplish now. I know, truly, that I can choose something different but I know what is best in my soul.

*I see myself working in a part-time role, possibly even full-time, doing work of an administrative and/or research nature, somewhere around Philadelphia, or possibly up to 10 miles outside the city. I am seeking a modest salary of $10/hour+. I am worth at least $12/hour.
*Part of my time continues to be devoted to Radio Crystal Blue, in researching music for airplay as well as the technical aspects. What I desire is a proper space to work in and deliver a show on a weekly basis. I have a lot of CDs that requires enough space. I also want to upgrade the microphone, the mixer and the CD source The signal is OK yet I know it can be improved upon.
*I want to purchase a laptop, for the freedom of using the Internet in the great outdoors and have the flexibility to do work and earn income at once without having to be tethered to communication at home. I have no desire for a cellphone but I understand its usefulness in pure emergencies.
*I still have an interest in building my audio/visual skills. I am learning more with my own camera. I have interest in hosting a program that is an extension of Radio Crystal Blue, something with a more visual quality than simply radio. Sound exciting? It is to me!

*Travel: There is no particular direction I feel drawn to at this moment of typing. I have friends and acquaintances in just about every port in the country and in Canada. If I really had to narrow it down, the places I feel most curious about are: Michigan, Washington state, and Maryland. You may know that I don’t drive. I have no intention to. Thank goodness for companies like Megabus to make travel on the cheap very possible. I tend to travel for a purpose, so it should be an event or a job, or even both. Or a series of events, or jobs. Heck, even something I can document on film if appropriate.
I do know that I’d like things to be continual: to continue to have a base to radiate from is vital.
*New Age work right now for me is solitary for the most part and I see that trend continuing. When I do seek healing, there is at least one group in the region here I meet with.
*I still intend to review music and art events in the Philadelphia region as I have done previously for the website involving audio, video, photos. I’d like to interview artists for the website, with very good quality audio equipment in person, or on Skype.
And there you have it.

To put the wrap on this, I remind you that you can sponsor Radio Crystal Blue and syndicate both of my podcasts on another network. Further, I’m accepting donations to keep Radio Crystal Blue going and growing. Donations can be made via the PayPal button at the homepage.
