on air this sunday after 2 weeks off

Hey kids, after skipping out for a couple of weeks Plastic Magic will be on air on both KXUA 88.3fm in and around Fayetteville, AR from 6-8pm (or 9pm)EST and also on WBCQ 5110kHz shortwave from 7-9pm (0000 world radio time) with at least first hour live. The show this week will be a little different than the usual heavy psych and garage/ bongrock that it normally is. This week I will be playing thru a big stack of soul and blues 45's and possibly some Razorback novilty records (how many depends on how the game against Auburn goes tonight). I bought all these records at a thrift store in Russellville while there visiting my Mom last summer and forgot to grab them as I left, but I was there last sunday for a family reunion and remembered to grab them then. They are mostly pretty beat up hense this will probably be the noisiest Plastic Magic program ever! But I cleaned em up best I could and some are worth hearing no matter what. You will hear alot of rare soul and blues from Memphis, Lousiana, Nashville, Detroit, Alabama and Arkansas ect.

Plastic Magic podcast #106 September 11th, 2011

On this show we remembered what 9/11 was for us 10years ago. Lots of people emailed their story for us to read over the air as it was broadcast on KXUA 88.3fm from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and also on international shortwave via WBCQ 5110kHz. We also made it sort of a night to play music both old and new from NYC. We also played two groups not from New York (explained in detail on the show as to why these we're played).

On this podcast, which is 3 hours long, we played: THE MOONEY SUZUKI, SONIC YOUTH, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, THE DRUIDS OF STONEHENGE, THE FUGS, THE JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, THE TONY WILLIAMS LIFETIME, JONATHAN FIRE*EATER, VANILLA FUDGE, THE CRAMPS, NEW YORK DOLLS, KISS, THE BLUES MAGOOS and much more.

Tell Your Story On The Radio About 9/11

On the next Plastic Magic radio show, I am planning on doing something in memorial to the 9/11 attacks on New York and DC. If you have a story on what your day was like, meaning how you got the news of it or what the weather was like where you were or anything you'd like to say about I am inviting you to send your story via email to be read over the air. If I am not mistaken it will air also on shortwave the night on Area 51 WBCQ 5110kHz where we have a lot of listeners in that area. Please title your email with 9/11 or something like that and write it as you want it to be read. email: plasticmagic883@yahoo.com Thank you
