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.

podcast # 72 "The 80's Show" and tribute to Windy Austin

Hey everybody out there in podcast land! Well me and some old dear buddies of mine (Nate Higgins and Butch Taylor) had been planning to do an 80's show sometime to spotlight some bands that are kind of hard to fit in during a "normal" Plastic Magic show. So here it is: podcast # 72 "the 80's show" you'll hear things such as: THE CURE, THE CULT, ELVIS COSTELLO, CHEAP TRICK, THE CRAMPS, DEAD KENNEDYS, BUTTHOLE SURFERS, DURAN DURAN, TALKING HEADS, DEVO, X, JANE'S ADDICTION, THE PIXIES and NRBQ...we even went as far as playing some old "hair band" faves like: RATT and MOTLEY CRUE! At the end we played a tribute to the late WINDY AUSTIN who died this morning. WINDY AUSTIN fronted some legendary groups in Fayetteville Arkansas like RODEO, ZORRO AND THE BLUE FOOTBALLS and  WINDY AUSTIN'S HOT HOUSE TOMATO BOYS. This podcast is 3 hours (meant to half it but forgot to) and in the last hour of the show we played the whole LP of ZORRO AND THE BLUE FOOTBALLS.
