Second, the former, a very special show aired on Aug. 18 on KXUA with co-host DJ EJ showcasing music from the compilation CD I put together with Eric's help of local Arkansas groups from the 90's. On this you will hear the bands (and stories) featured on the Art Amiss Natural State Nineties compilation CD, but not the same music. So this podcast serves an alternative listening experience.

A new compilation featuring 11 tracks by Arkansas rock ‘n’ roll bands from the early 1990s is set to be released online next week.
The compilation is being released by local artist organization, Art Amiss, in association with KXUA 88.3 FM and the Plastic Magic radio show. The record was assembled from the personal collection of Plastic Magic host Phillip Eubanks.

The album will be released at 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 19 at arkansas-music.bandcamp.com.
Listening is free, but a $5 donation gets you a full download of the album, along with a 17-page booklet featuring band lineups, original release dates and recording details, along with scans of original album artwork, photos and flyers.

on air this weekend!

In the news:

Plastic Magic will be back on the air this weekend sunday Aug 11th, 2013 but it will be a rerun show from Jan. 23rd, 2011 which was never originally podcast. So unless you heard it when it was originally aired that night tune in and check it out for the first time. Also of note is that this was a few months before the show got picked up by shortwave station WBCQ. So lets go back to the way back and check it out.

Also in the news:

The show to be run on Aug 18th will be a live show to promote a new local compilation CD that I put together with former KXUA DJ and station manager Eric Jensen "DJ EJ" of Wheels Of Steel fame. This compilation is of local Arkansas bands form the 90's that were among my faves back then. All the recordings come from my cassette archives and I think will be a new treat even for people who were fans back then who thought they collected all the merch that the bands were selling at shows. Watch this site for details: Art Amiss
