It's vacation time folks so this week I've decided to forgo another new program and instead, resurrect an early program from my first year back into radio with the program 'Vicotin Popsicle's'. Today I've selected ' Episode #16 which initially aired on August 10, 2012 over San Francisco internet radio station KUSF-In-Exile on a Friday morning from 6-9 AM (PST).
Themed sets, cartoon and movie dialogue, spoken word, and a variety of musical styles all melded together into the early shows during this time period as I was finding my way and honing my skills along the way. Below is a synopsis of the program as it appeared in 2012. Enjoy!!!
On today’s three hour edition there's newly released music from The Flaming Lips, Sigur Ros, and Garbage; plus several themes including Bugs Bunny’s dialogue from the classic “Long Haired Hare" (LEOPOLD..LEOPOLD...Leopold..) cartoon blended together with rare vault finds and an orchestral gem from Fantasia.
There’s a New York based themed set as well featuring Jim’s Big Ego, Lou Reed and Elliot Murphy with dialogue from the movie “Goodfella’s” scattered throughout.
You'll also hear jazz cuts from Ramsey Lewis, Brian Auger, and Django Reinhardt and a “Spanish” themed set featuring cuts from Carla Bley, Nat King Cole, and the Tubes (yes that’s right..the Tubes!)

Brand new music from SHANE CURRY (also known as ‘Sleep Day’) and legendary vocalist FLORA PURIM gets it all started on this week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #473) during the first thirty minutes in a program filled with ‘vault’ classics, eye popping ‘covers,’ and others assorted tasty tidbits.
There’s high octane additives to that first set today with JOE STRUMMER & THE MESCALEROS, the weirdly unique a capella meanderings of FLOOM, THE RIVINGTON’S ‘Papa-Oom-Mow Mow,’ THE RESIDENTS channeling ‘Elvis,’ and more new worldly tracks from IMARHAN and ROKIA KONE & JACKNIFE LEE.

These are the days one dreams about when it’s near zero and snowing in late January so I’ll always take heat over freezing for my old bones and enjoy this week’s weather. (it doesn’t hurt to have AC either, as the days of sitting in front of a fan while suffocating inside my home as some of my siblings still do have long since passed for moi). Have said that, I’ve got plenty of great music to chill out to on this week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #471) and prepare you for the gorgeous days ahead.
I’ll start off with TAJ MAHAL and his collaborators, RY & JOACHIM COODER doing ‘Hooray, Hooray’ from their new ‘Get On Board’ release and follow it with JIM WHITE’S ‘Wrong Kind Of Love,’ KEN NORDINE & TOM WAITS’ word poem ‘A Thousand Bing Bangs,’ then head off for other sonically interesting pieces from L. VOAG, DAMON ALBARN, THE MOUNTAIN GOATS, DANNY ELFMAN, and a hard to find 10CC classic.
The next thirty minutes bring more new material from ROKIA KONE & JACKNIFE LEE, two ‘vault’ masterpieces from JOHN MARTYN and LED ZEPPELIN followed by THE MEKONS, PJ HARVEY, DAEVID ALLEN, and a MARK MOTHERSBAUGH percussion piece all that seamlessly flow into a new BLACK KEYS track.
Later on there’s more ‘vault’ delights from RARE BIRD, the Swiss band NAUTILUS, MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, and GRACE JONES, plus locals PERE UBU, JOHN BASSETTE (‘Hessler Street’), 15-60-75, and MARK ALLENDER, and plenty of new material from WET LEG, JOHN ZORN, IMARHAN, and CATE LE BON to keep you engaged.

They say that eventually as you age you become more like your parents and if that’s the case, then I’ve become more like mom especially when it comes to her obsession with all things maple. Lately it’s been maple frosted cinnamon rolls (mom had issues with maple cremes and every box of assorted chocolate candies would have her tell tale marks where she had jammed her thumb into each piece in attempt to locate her confectionery treasures).
I have those same issues with music for this program as I search relentlessly for specific treasures to play for you each week and on today’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #470) they’ll show up just like those sugary nuggets of goodness.
I’ve got new pieces from WET LEG, KING CRIMSON (live), MARK ALLENDER (his ‘Ditties For Piano From The Time Of The Plague’ release), DANNY ELFMAN, and JACK WHITE incorporated with older tracks from JOHN ENTWISTLE, PJ HARVEY, and GRYPHON to start the show off today.
You’ll hear covers from LUFF (Neil Young) and JOHN SCOFIELD (‘Not Fade Away’), another pile of great international material (IMARHAN, MUTSUMI ARAGAKI, REBOLU, and IBIBO SOUND MACHINE), vintage ‘vault’ tracks (from DAEVID ALLEN, HUGH HOPPER, THE RESIDENTS, and THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION), local flair from BOB ETHINGTON and RALPH CARNEY) plus other tasty treats from DON CHERRY, BRUCE COCKBURN, ELVIS, and PORTISHEAD.

Here is a special rewind from my radio archives of TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #166) from June 3, 2016 literally one month following my move from Chicago to Akron, Ohio in 2016. The synopsis for this program is detailed below! Enjoy!
It’s crazy how I’ve adapted to my new surroundings and used it for inspiration on the latest TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (#166). A new garden and my attending the opening of Mark Mothersbaugh’s
“Myopia” multimedia exhibit at the Akron Art Museum this past weekend helped in the creative
process.
So what’s in store as a result you ask? Devo’s “Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA” starts off the show and
afterwards you’ll hear from Holgar Czukay, Richard & Linda Thompson, traditional music from Greece &
Tibesti (Chad), Sonic Youth, PFM, the latest from Brian Eno and each of the Kidney brothers releases,
Ken Nordine, the Japanese cast of “Hair,” Weather Report, Henry Kaiser, Bob Dylan, R.L. Burnside, and
the Stills-Young band.
Grab a folding chair and a cool glass of water because this shows going to heat up the airwaves for three full hours.
Cheers!

An extended weekend is upon us as we welcome in the holiday that signifies summer’s arrival with outdoor gatherings,, picnic’s, school graduations, concerts, and other events so on this week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #468) I’ve got all your musical needs covered with a wealth of NEW releases, surprising ‘covers,’ ‘vault’ treasures, and a few unexpected twists and turns that should peak your interest.
Throughout the program I’ll add material from the late VANGELIS at various points from his career including his film score work, solo offerings, and his groundbreaking work with APHRODITE'S CHILD.
The show gets started with a track from the VANGELIS album ‘Earth’ and is followed with all ‘new’ pieces from SONIC YOUTH, JONNY GREENWOOD (from the ‘Spencer’ film), CATE LE BON, BEIRUT, IBIBO SOUND MACHINE, DUMMY, and DANNY ELFMAN. So what else is ‘new’ today you ask? From the ‘world’ category there’s ROKIA KONE & JACKNIFE LEE, MONOSWEZI, REBOLU (Columbia via NYC), and IMARHAN, and from everywhere else there’s DAMON ALBARN, CALEXICO, THE BREAKERS, JOHN ZORN, and JACK WHITE.
‘Covers’ include a song from TAJ MAHAL, RY COODER & JOACHIM COODER’s tribute (to Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee), ARTURO STALTERI (Eno), SUFJAN STEVENS (John Fahey), BISON CHIPS & SWINGLE SINGERS (The Beatles), TIN HUEY and the PLASTICS (The Monkees), and SENOR COCONUT (Kraftwerk), plus ‘vault’ gems from TOM WAITS, BONZO DOG BAND, GRATEFUL DEAD, and SUN RA.
The plate is really full today (just like that paper one which will be bending from all the food stuffed on it from your gathering this weekend).

Another week has flown by so as I prepare you for yet another synopsis of what’s in store for the show I just completed working on (TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES Episode #467) I began wondering about that existential element (time) and how it’s changed since the fourth grade when I would sit in study hall during the moments before my next period (lunch or otherwise) and watch those clock hands click by, second by second, for what always seemed like eternity only to be snapped back to attention to the tasks at hand by a nun’s ruler across my knuckles.
Now, in my later years, it’s ‘Oh crap, where did the day go’ as each day draws me closer to the final ones. Life is really not fair, it’s just inevitable.
Now that you’ve heard what the voices in my head have to say, here’s what to expect musically from the forthcoming program. In the ‘new’ release category I’ve got JACK WHITE, CALEXICO, SONIC YOUTH, and the multicultural group, MONOSWEZI, whose members hail from Mozambique, Norway, Sweden, and Zimbabwe. Still new but slightly older are THE BREAKERS, IMARHAN, ROBERT PLANT & ALLISON KRAUSE, DAMON ALBARN, and Uniontown’s own FREQ OUT.
From the ‘vault’ there’s very early SOFT MACHINE, plus MIROSLAV VITOUS, THE LAST POETS, HAPPY THE MAN, SYD BARRETT, and GEORGE HARRISON (Wonderwall Music). Slightly younger (weren’t we all once?) there’s HARVEY GOLD, SIGUR ROS, CRACKER, THE SHINS, and ENO & HYDE. The show was scheduled for noon on Friday and was late. (Again) Adding music from BOB NEUWIRTH (with John Cale) and VANGELIS at the last minute because of both having just 'passed away' is my excuse this week.
Will I ever get a show 'up' on time? Only time will tell!

This week’s airing of TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #466) debuts on Friday the thirteenth and as luck would have it, I didn’t realize until I began writing the description for this show that I had already programmed two versions of the ‘Screamin’ Jay Hawkins classic ‘I Put A Spell On You’ (interpreted by BRYAN FERRY and AUDIENCE) during the programs first set. That in itself shows you how my subconscious mind works.
Those versions are included along with new material from THE BREAKERS and DUMMY along with other tracks from DARKSTAR, THE POLYPHONIC SPREE and an obscure ‘vault’ nugget from a band called THE THIRD BARDO.
The following set has the TALKING HEADS, DIZZY GILLESPIE, THE FLAMING LIPS, PERE UBU, HENRY COW, and RY COODER blended in with a few more pieces and by the end of this first hour, I think you’ll be ready for more.
‘More’ includes new material from SPARKS, DAMON ALBARN, PARQUET COURTS, PUNCH BROTHERS, and Algeria’s IMARHAN. From the ‘vault’ there’s PENTANGLE, JERRY GARCIA, CODONA, THE MODERN LOVERS, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, and GODLEY & CREME. You will also hear international selections from FARAFINA, ANANDI BHATTACHARYA, and SAMUEL YIRGA and I’ve even got a ‘cover’ of ‘White Rabbit’ by...wait for it...BLUE MAN GROUP.

Transmusic Airwaves is a journey beyond conventional radio boundaries. It encompasses various musical forms and styles loosely centered on “Progressive”, with attention to transitions that form…
Transmusic Airwaves is the brainchild of Paul Ciminero, whose radio roots began in the 1970's at WKSU's late-night Fresh Air program. Transmusic began weekly podcasts in 2013 that continued until Paul's passing at the end of 2022. Afterwards, it expanded as a collaborative effort introducing a broader audio palette via multiple hosts and their respective musical knowledge. In this way, Transmusic has become the modern form of the old Fresh Air program!
