Plastic Magic Feb. 20th, 2011 podcast Black History Month Show pt. 1 (this year)

hey kids, I am happy to report that I am posting this from my own computer at my own house for a change! This would maybe only make sense if you knew my home computer flipped me the bird last Oct. Yeah, I know, I know... OK well anyway, this is the first of two episodes this year honoring black history month. Beatbachs did not show up for his 8pm timeslot this week so I stayed on a little long making this a 3 hour show (and podcast).....On this show you will hear: BOOTSY'S RUBBER BAND, CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD, THE CLOVERS, THE TEMPTATIONS, RICHARD PRYOR, MAGIC SLIM AND THE TEARDROPS, THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS, TED TAYLOR, THE CYCLONES, BO DIDDLEY, GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS, THE RONETTES, MARION BROWN, FUNKADELIC, ARCHIE SHEPP, and much more including a documentary recording from the Student Non-violent Coordination Comm. (SNCC) of Albany, GA from 1961 called "Freedom in the Air" of which we will listen to the second half of that documentary next sunday. But for now here is this week's podcast for Plastic Magic 2-20-11

Plastic Magic Valentine's/ Birthday Special Feb. 13th, 2011

    Hey there kids! I guess it has been a long long while since I posted a new podcast. There are a few reasons I have for not updating this blog for a while, amongst them I don't have a working home computer right now, but that's changing this week (sigh, hopefully). But anyway, I have crawled out of the snow (record breaking snowfall in Arkansas!) and dusted off the old Plastic Magic blog site.....ahhh and here we are!
    On this special (really not so special...don't get your hopes up) episode I invited my buddy (your) Uncle Butch on the show  to celebrate not only Valentine's day but also my birthday (Feb. 11) and Butch's (Feb. 14). You will here songs of love and devotion from: FRANK ZAPPA, THE ELECTRIC JUNKYARD, TODD RUNDGREN, POINT BLANK, CARLY SIMON, THE BEACH BOYS, MOBY GRAPE, THE ASSOCIATION, STEPPENWOLF, MEAT LOAF, THE SOFT MACHINE and much more...hope you enjoy this Plastic Magic podcast of LOVE
