THE VISION I hold for my life and this program: http://wp.me/p1FKJJ-G6

—–

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 6 songs, one each from a brand new recording. I spin the music and give you the backstory of each artist.

THE LATEST:

It’s good to be back. It’s my way of saying I’m grateful. Maybe I’m putting myself in alternate dimensions by saying so. The idea is that I’m gaining a sense of life again, and almost never wavered in my vision.  These days, with job training for a possible job in September it seems that I can finally get back to where I once was and go even further beyond, not simply return.   I have to look ahead and be aligned with what’s ahead.

Back to the present.  As you can hear with the newest podcast, the sound’s improved and I found a better solution to how to keep it improved.

I haven’t bought any more time re the rent situation. It seems the only real source will come from the job if I pass the state exam next week.

RCB REWIND

RCB NOVUS ORDO for the big comeback included entries by 2 NYC pop bands you should know; Changing Modes, and The Larch. I’m thoroughly impressed by Changing Modes’ ever changing sound, getting into more new-wave rock territory than before.  The romantic, and certainly exotic sound of Roxanna’s long-awaited album is in a time and space all by itself, driven by her blessed vocals.   I also was taken by Leslie Evers’s tune “No Dew On The Avenue”, a gorgeous folk ballad centered on NYC and a longing to bridge one’s country roots there.

RCB PROPER: The feeling was one of redemption, survival, triumph, all things I experienced in my unplanned 5-week absence. So I picked out some songs that reflected my psyche, starting and ending with Dylan covers, one by one-time member of Luther Allison’s band, James Solberg.  Neil Young live and direct keeps the spirit strong. I mentioned a short piece I wrote upon the death of Robin Williams.  Me fear the reaper? Never! Segment 1 includes artists who were part of last week’s Rocky Mountain Folks Festival. Included is brand new from Carolyn Currie, who was part of a songwriter competition within the festival. Segment l2: A return to these airwaves by spiritually-oriented songwriter Robin Renee. New songs here too by The Late Saints and Revel 9. We hear these and other artists playing at Finnegan’s Wake all week here in Philly. It’s part of the Liberty  Music Festival.  Segment 3: Claudia Schmidt makes her RCB debut with album number 16. I’ve become a bigger fan of The Sidleys and their fine example of adult contemporary music.  Ditto for Liz Longley, who has amazing personnel in the studio that created her latest s/t effort. More new music, at long last from Nate Currin. And in Segment 4, some originals, at last, from veteran songwriter Matt Turk.

 

 

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. 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.

Electronic press kits) submissions can be sent via one of these companies.
