Somewhere between the robotic synchronicity of Philip Glass and the electro-crunch of LCD Soundsystem that threatens to dance yerself clean, lies the sound of Dan Deacon’s latest record “America.” Some categorize it as electronica…others contemporary classical…I just listen and marvel at one of the truly original artists making music today. Case in point is this […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “All Apologies” by Nirvana
I don’t know how many people realized what we had with Kurt Cobain when he was alive…much less himself…but his contributions to music have grown enormously with the passage of time. No time to write today…it’s Yom Kippur and that would be considered work. So I will just leave you with “All Apologies” until tomorrow […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Labrador” by Aimee Mann
Aimee Man has been creating articulate character sketches in song since the 1980s when she was MTV-marketed as part of the group ‘Til Tuesday and could regularly be seen (heavily made up) singing “Voices Carry” sandwiched between Milli Vanilli and Culture Club videos. After the demise of ‘Til Tuesday, Mann set out on a solo […]
Gotta Be 3D
I’m your Uncle Marty, with The 3D RadioActivity number 482. Informal speech and representations of such will oftentimes combine words. GOTTA is used in written English to represent the words ‘got to’ when they are pronounced informally, with the meaning ‘have to’ or ‘must’. Since a lot of poetic license is applied to the musical form of lyrics, […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “The Descent” by Bob Mould
I was a huge fan of Husker Du and saw them many times during the 1980s. After the Du broke up, I saw Bob Mould acoustically on the “Workbook” tour and then again with his second power trio, Sugar. In my book, Mould could do (or is that “du”) no wrong…that is until I read […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Dinosaur/The Red House/Wheezing/Eggs In A Briar Patch” by David Byrne
It was a creative peak for David Byrne. Talking Heads were coming off their hugely successful “Remain In Light” album and expanded band tour. Byrne had been collaborating more and more with Brian Eno, much to the chagrin of the rest of the band. By 1981, Byrne and Eno released their experimental “My Life In […]

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Troublemaker” by Green Day
Billie Joe Armstrong “ain’t no effin Justin Bieber!” True that…’cause Justin Bieber doesn’t throw F-bomb-laden tantrums from the stage when he doesn’t get his way. With that said, Justin Bieber hasn’t been releasing credible punk rock records like Billie Joe Armstrong and Green Day have for over 20 years either. Back in 2012, Green Day […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Ruin” by Cat Power
I don’t know what it is about Charlyn Marie Marshall, the artist we now know as Cat Power. Every music rag I pick up amply pours the accolades on like maple syrup and, of course, I feel the need to eat it up. As a result, I’ve purchased several of her records and find that, […]
Used 3D Music
I’m Uncle Marty, The 3D RadioActivity hits the 480 mark this time with tunes that are all new to our virtual airwaves, while every one of them will be USED to expand musical knowledge and enjoyment. We’ve managed to use our heads, tears and love, both in the present and past tense, along with a few other visceral connections. Next […]
