Ode to Joybuzzer. Steve Tanski and Jon Aley join Dave on this one (drummer Mike Tanski was missing in action but is a monster on the kit). Three of the most talented musicians you have possibly never heard of. Songs written and recorded in the basement like all music should be. Both of these guys started a long time ago. Jon in Those Melvins, a band that reached pretty nice peaks in the CT scene. Opening for Sinead O'Connor, Hoodoo Gurus, The Connells, NRBQ and not opening but a 4 band bill at Wetlands with a duo that they claimed was the worst band ever called Ween. Jon also went on to be in original Zambonis for about 16 years. Steve played as a kid and came from an incredible musical family. A guitar wiz kid he started in the 70's and in 1982 found himself in a band with Cheetah Chrome from The Dead Boys. A few bands later  he joined Those Melvins & eventually Joy Buzzer is born. From 2002 to this day an integral part of The Zambonis. Oh yeh, we play some great music on this show too. Thanks for listening.

Calling in from Stockholm Sweden....David Mann, Musician (Vipers, Richard Lloyd Band, Vacuum Cleaners) Tour Manager (Luna, Roseanne Cash, Herbie Hancock, Emmylou Harris) talks it up with Dave amid some great music. David is also a cousin of Dave's whom traded in 1983 his Television Marquee Moon record for Dave's REM Murmur LP. Enjoy the show!

AUSTRALIAN AUDIO INVASION WAS IN PLAY. SUCH SPECIAL GUEST! Dave's Storied Sounds featured Aussie Indie Rockers Radio Free Alice. Noah and Jules picked a bunch of songs including some of their own and songs ferom the Melbourne scene/their contemporaries. Dave also declared happily that this would be AN ALL AUSTRALIAN PLAYLIST (besides the opening Kinks track titled "Australia") It was tough not to cave for at least one New Zealand band. Did Dave cave? Listen in and see! The boys have a brand new single out and the new record comes out sooner than later. REcorded with Peter Katis right here in Bridgeport at the legendary and cozy Tarquin Studios.

Every year WPKN does a BOD DYLAN BIRTHDAY BASH fundraiser. This year in the middle of Brendan Toller and Herman Olivera's three hour shift Dave Schneider popped in with a surprise performance and fundraising idea. He asked OLD BOB (Brian Anderson and Chris Cavaliere) to play any song from Mr Dylan's catalogue for $100 donation. Things went swimmingly and Dave even had to join in on a very blurry version of "Visions Of Johanna". It was a blast and Chris and Brian absolutely slayed it. 

Dave plays what he thinks is some damn good cuts and speaks to man who is taking the slow road to music domination in the Amherst area and beyond, Skeg Kendall. He has a new record out and his past has been one of Dave's faves. Lifeboat, a band he had with legendary producer Gary Smith (Pixies, Blake Babies, Billy Bragg, Scrawl) Brothers Kendall and Tacklebox were all solid and sweet. Listen in!

I met John Perrin while he was out with NRBQ about 10 years ago. The band came over to my house and attacked my record collection. It was a heavenly 2 hours. John fit perfectly in my fave band. That band is a music lesson and a sweet stew for the soul. As you can see above and hear in the show you hopefully listen to right now, the kid is a monster talent and loves/lives music like we all of us nut jobs do.

This was a neatsville show! So neato! Ok, I will stop with the neat stuff but besides some great tunes of all sorts, My guest Tim Healy talks about being in the studio for his first job at Mtv 120 Minutes with a new band called Oasis. We play that live raw track and so much more. Very neaty stuff.

It's not easy to be a band and make recordings that are not derivative. At some point you do something that sounds like The Beatles, Chuck Berry or (name the band). Peter Katis has expressed his love of Bernard Hermann (Frequest composer for Alfred Hitchcock Films) They don't sound like him either. I LOVE THIS BAND who are also my best friends. Ps Peter Katis has also produced/mixed many many very influential records ie INTERPOL, THE NATIONAL, FRIGHTENED RABBIT and of course......THE ZAMBONIS

The Problem With Kids Today! Nothing beats a great trio and they are exactly that. A great trio. Dave and The Kids chat it up and play what they want to hear too. Of course Dave plays his sweet picks too.
