Dylan has many strong song-writing attributes but chief amongst these strengths has got to be his ability to create a narrative song. Paul explores his narrative power by featuring three finely crafted Dylan narratives - Caribbean Wind, Workingman Blues # 2, and 'Cross Green Mountain.

For even the low level Dylan historian(myself), we recall that the bulk of Dylan's popular work was done in the 60s and 70s. So what was he doing in the 80s? His albums suggest that he found Jesus and also did some musical drifting, typical of Dylan's mystique. Well, I was intrigued by a Dylan album labeled "Best of the 80s", so I decided to explore more of that era. Unsurprisingly, treasure was found. Even during his seemingly least prolific era, Dylan was making tunes that most musicians would envy. The 80s choices are:  Pressing On and Series of Dreams.

Finally, Dylan just released his critically applauded album "Tempest". We'll play a few favorites from the new album and, of course, would love to play some pre-show requests. If you have a favoritie Dylan song that fits the narrative theme, 80s era or is off the new album, send your request to [email protected] or post the request on our facebook page. We hope to hear from you.

M83 has hit the indie music scene with some serious power.  Their latest release Hurry Up, We're Dreaming gained major critical acclaim, posted high on all the major international record charts, and rocketed the band into stardom.  The band has been swimming through the underground since the early 2000s but now they're becoming a hipster heroes.  

M83 played live at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Oct 2nd 2012 and Nolan A. Foot was there.  Foot will give you the run down of the show and how it rocked.  He'll play some of the top M83 songs, and give you a nice little slice of who this band really is

Meanwhile, an epic pair, Brit Daniel and Dan Boeckner teamed up to release an epic album under the name Divine Fits.  When Foot heard about this pairing he knew greatness was inevitable. 

As the front man of Spoon, Brit Daniel has earned his stripes in the Austin music scene with a long career that reaches back the early 90s.  He is well known and well loved in the indie Rock n Roll scene and has a wonderful knack for producing great music. 

Dan Boeckner, on the other hand has made his mark in the last 7 years with a couple cutting edge bands: Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs. Hailing from Canada he has been a valuable asset for grunge champions Sup Pop Records and released some innovative music that really rocks!

Foot will play a few of his favorites off the new Divine Fits album and give you some history that led to this place.  It's going to be a kick in the pants!

Merk and Mike host. Call in and tell us if we're fools or wise men regarding the following topics:

1) NFL replacement refs

Who deserves the most blame? Where does Roger Goodell stack up against other league commissioners?  This would be a good point to argue, since I still believe David Stern is guilty of this on a nightly basis with superstar favoritism and home court officiating.

2) Broncos outlook

What is holding back progress on the offensive side of the ball?  Is it Peyton clearing the cob webs or is it the fact that this group of personnel just isn't ready to play with someone of PM's caliber? Why is coaching staff holding PM back?  McCoy and Fox are far too conservative - don't understand how to utilize a player's strengths Prediction for Raiders game

3) Funny news story of the week

4) CU  / CSU

A glimmer of hope after Wash St win or will that be the only win of the year? How much more time do you give Embree to prove he's capable of being a head coach?  CSU - After showing some promise against CU, what went wrong?  Wasn't CSU's schedule supposed to be a cupcake this year? Does McElwain have the right philosophy?

5) Top 5 tweets of the week

@TJLang70: Got f***** by the refs…embarrassing. Thanks nfl@TJLang70: F*** it NFL.. Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs

The title says it all. 

the Foot N. Art Cella and his pops Paul J Cella Jr. spin some of the greatest oldie rock n roll records ever recorded.

Buddy Holly was like a lightining strike in a brush field; he hit the world quick and created something that spread like wild fire, but if you blinked you missed the strike.  His story is tragic and endearing.  He's the guy "next door of rock n roll", gone before the loss of innocence.  Buddy Holly is an undeniable genius. This man influenced all those that followed.  He is the original hippster. 

His birthday is September 7, so we're timing this just right.

 It's gonna be a wonderful set.  enjoy.

Joe and Nolan dive into recent favorites.

A week after seeing My Morning Jacket live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn Nolan had to share which songs were the highlights of the show.  These boys put on a stellar performance that night and Nolan wanted to give some of that experience back to the world. 

Meanwhile, Joe has found a new obseesion: Alex Ebert.  This is a guy who has made a big splash in the indie-folk scene over the last 5 years.  He's found a follwing and you can count Joe as a part of his flock.  The dude can make some great tunes, and we'll explore the new and old from his colletion.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Howdy pardner! Getty-up and prepare for a tour through some country and western greats.  Nolan and Joe will explore some country classics and display some of the new young bucks that sit outside the country pop scene.

Well the show turned out to be pretty disjointed but wonderfully organic.  It was Willie Nelson heavy and full of heart and soul.  Also why we love making the Denver Cellar, things can get hectic, but it often leads to gold. 

Get long little doggies and enjoy the ride.

White Denim bassist Steve Terebecki joins for a chat. We feature two songs from their album "D".

Simple format: 2012 keepers. We've got four picked that we think make the cut so far. Might be easy to disagree. Katy Perry probably won't make the cut. God Bless her.

Here's a preview of some of the tracks:

The Everybody's Talking at Me Guy.

Nilsson's music is ubiquitous. A lot of his songs are recognizable but you probably can't remember who sang it. Well, this show is going to help you remember. In his early career, he became famous for an incredible voice. In his later career, he became famous for his carousing and the destruction of his blessed pipes while partying with John Lennon. The guy was a combination of gloriousness and a slow motion train wreck. 

It's likely that if he hadn't been such an independent, hornery cuss he could've gone huger than huge. He did things his own way and probably shot some airballs along the way. Still, you have to respect that he stuck to his guns.

Partying, Partying.
