Episode: Subconscious Connections

April 29, 2016 episode of Connections on WPKN with Eric Cocks, filling in as Guest Host for my good friend Chris Frantz the Talking Head. New and vintage music, presented spontaneously… sometimes with Subconscious Connections.

Includes new music and rare studio outtakes from Bob Dylan. Also new and vintage Brian Eno. Talking Heads (co-produced by Brian Eno). Beatles, Little Richard, The Byrds, Yardbirds, Beach Boys, The Bar-Kays, Bill Wyman, Hindu Love Gods (featuring Warren Zevon and REM).

A very personal tribute to Prince.

New music from Mudcrutch (featuring Tom Petty), Anna Rose, The Jayhawks, Andrew Bird, exmagician, The Monkees, Summer Flake, electronic duo Xeno & Oaklander, Steve Addabbo (who engineered Bob Dylan's Cutting Edge and Another Self Portrait, produced Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin and many more), Beth Orton, D/troit, PJ Harvey, Hey Marseilles, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Kristine Jackson, Temples, The Last Shadow Puppets, Euphoria, Mike Raphone of The Squeaky Chairs and whatever happened in the moment.

Some of the synchronicities and connections betweens songs, titles, artists and producers are completely accidental… or are they?

Thanks for tuning in!!!
