Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Thing Called Love” by John Hiatt and the Goners
I received an unplanned invite to see a double bill of Steve Earle and John Hiatt at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Illinois the other night. I have seen both artists quite a few times before, but it had been at least 6 years since I last saw Earle and probably 15 years since […]
Ordinary Joes
‘m your Uncle Marty, this is chapter 478 of The 3D RadioActivity, with an adventure we’re going to call “ORDINARY JOES” on Steve C’s recommendation for some. Similar to how we did “A Show Called Bob” or “You Don’t Know Jack“, here’s several Joes you know and a few I’d like to introduce to you. Our […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Duquesne Whistle” by Bob Dylan
In a little over a week, the world will be graced with Bob Dylan’s 35th studio album. While his croak is (and always was) an acquired taste, I love the old-timey feel of the records he’s released in the last decade, and judging by this track the new record should musically be in the same […]

I’m your Uncle Marty to children of all ages, this is The 3D RadioActivity‘s 477th adventure. Friend and fan Bernie gave me the suggestion to play “offspring” music as our theme, and as the past two episodes have shown, there are plenty to go around the turntable a third time. Listen closely as we feature a few of […]

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “I Just Started Hating Some People Today” by Beck
While it’s been four years since Beck released his last album, “Modern Guilt,” he has hardly been idle. In 2009 Beck started a website experiment called “Record Club” where he and other musicians would get together and cover an entire album in one day. The first one was “The Velvet Underground & Nico,” the second […]
Children 0f 3D
I’m Uncle Marty, with The 3D RadioActivity, number 475 and just as children want to play, we will plan on providing some great sonic examples of how they accomplish this feat by seeing how they do it, where they go, and what they might be humming along the way. I’ve still got well over 200 more CHILD.ish songs on […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “The Bells” by Phil Ochs
I am proud to say that one of my son’s all-time favorite records is Phil Ochs’ first album “All The News That’s Fit To Sing” from 1964. Sure, he heard it from me first after watching the excellent Phil Ochs documentary “There But For Fortune”, but in this day of quick cut video games and […]
