"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

October 11, 2024: SPECIAL GUEST: DON HUNERBERG
Today we explore the fascinating double life of Don Hunerberg. He was chief engineer at Plaza Sound @ Radio City Music Hall, from 1976 until its closure in the late 80s. During that time he engineered the first albums from The Ramones, Blondie, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Sonic Youth, Ace Frehley, and worked with Branca, ESG, Liquid Liquid, Live Skull, Zorn, Alvin Lucier and many more. All through those years, and into the 2000s, his other job was to record the music for the yearly Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Today we get to hear the story of a true New York hero.
