Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Harlem Hendoo” by Al Hirt
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Harlem Hendoo” by Al Hirt Time was running out. By 1968, the gravy train that artists like Al Hirt and Herb Alpert had ridden to fame on, was about to make a stop. Sure, Alpert would score his last huge hit, the #1 Bacharach and David gem […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Me And My Shadow” by M. Ward
Whether with Zooey Deschanel in She & Him, or with Conor Oberst and Jim James in Monsters Of Folk, or solo like on this track, M. Ward has not made that world-class, hit-the-ball-out-of-the-park kind of record yet. There’s no question that all of his records are certainly worth a spin…and some songs like this one […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Awake” by Canyons Of Static
Not only do they make the most tasty contemporary mood music around, they also possess the coolest band name in all of rock! Canyons Of Static’s brew of instrumental “shoegaze” music built on layers of feedback is experimental, challenging and downright exciting to listen to. The band consists of husband and wife Ross and Aggie […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “America!” by Bill Callahan
He’s the artist sometimes known as “Smog” who has spent most of his career releasing some very quirky records. As Smog, Callahan has released 14 lo-fi albums since 1990 laced with very repetitive, simplistic and challenging music featuring strange instrumental combinations, lots of dissonance and sparse lyrics if any at all. He has also released […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Watch The Show” by M. Ward
He is the “Him” of She & Him along with Zooey Deschanel. He is also ¼ of the “super group” Monsters Of Folk along with Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes. Matthew Ward, or M. Ward as he’s better known, has been the epitome of laid-back Portlandia, very happy hanging […]

Low Fidelity
I’m Uncle Marty, with our 429th get together, where we are going to get Low, and down with the music. Put ’em both together and they resemble what we call The 3D RadioActivity. Download here: https://archive.org/download/The3dRadioactivity/3dradio_20180506-LowFidelity.mp3 We are fast approaching summertime seconds where we traditionally revisit themes that had more great music than we could […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "Unrequited Love" by Lykke Li
Song Of The Day – “Unrequited Love” by Lykke Li It’s a little bit 1950s Doo Wop ballad…a little bit early ’60s girl group…and a whole lot up-to-the-minute 2011 indie pop. Lykke Li hails from Sweden where she was born Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson in 1986. She released her debut […]
