Plastic Magic podcast # 342 January 18th, 2015

Well folks, I know I'm very behind on getting my posts' updated. It is snowing outside and I missed even doing the show live last night (feb 15) due to weather. So, it is now time to get updated. On this show we took a little detour from our normal route to play some things from mostly the '80's. During the Holidays (daze) I read the Sonic Youth bio by Alec Foege titled "Confusion Is Next-The Sonic Youth Story" which sort of caused me to go back and of course dig out all of my Sonic Youth Lps but also just 80's punk from my skateboarding days and some things I've discovered since then. So this show was to get those ya ya's out. You will dig the sounds of: ALICE DONUT, SOFT CELL, BUTTHOLE SURFERS, TRAGIC MULATTO, THE MINUTEMEN, HUMAN LEAGUE, DIE KREUZEN, THE CURE, THE PASSIONS, FLIPPER, LET'S ACTIVE, SHOES, SIMPLE MINDS, SACCHARINE TRUST, KILLING JOKE, JAPAN, BAD BRAINS and more.

This time around we have a well rehearsed and well performed one time project called The White Album Project. This is of course a cover of The Beatles' White Album of 1968, a universally known classic. This was recorded at Juanita's in Little Rock Arkansas on March 13, 1991, May 23, 1991 & Jan 8, 1992 and the finished disc put together from compiling the best of the 3 shows. The cast of all star Little Rock musicians include: LEE TOMBOULIAN, MARC TURNER, BETTY ELKINS, BONNIE TURNER, MIKE THOMAS, ROSS HURLEY and  JASON ADAMS. Enjoy: podcast 340
