Meet the new boss! From the forthcoming album “Wrecking Ball” due out March 6, 2012 comes this new slice of classic sounding Bruce. Enjoy!
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Something Came Over Me” by Wild Flag
Featuring members of Sleater-Kinney, Helium and The Minders, Wild Flag joined forces last year labeled a supergroup. I always thought supergroups happened when members of really well-known bands came together to form new bands with even more marquee strength. With Wild Flag, Sleater-Kinney is the only band of the three that ever made a dent […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Big Boss Man” by Bobbie Gentry
“Big Boss Man” was written by Luther Dixon and Al Smith and was originally made famous by Jimmy Reed in 1961. There have literally been hundreds of recordings of this standard most notably by Elvis Presley in 1967 and The Grateful Dead in 1971. Gentry’s recording comes from her 1968 album “The Delta Sweete.” It […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Tales Of Brave Ulysses” by Cream
Cream were rising to the top and riding high with their Wheels Of Fire album when they took to the stage of The Smothers Brothers’ TV show in July of 1968 with this song from their previous album, “Disraeli Gears.” With proclamations of “Clapton is God” spray-painted all over the walls of England, Cream began […]
Song Of the Day by Eric Berman – “Midnight City” by M83
France’s M83 is so epically 1980s that even the band’s name references the decade. In actuality, M83 named themselves for a celestial galaxy called Messier 83 and the “band” really boils down to French musician Anthony Gonzalez and whomever he chooses to work with on a project. This song comes from their breakthrough 6th album, […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed” by The Allman Brothers Band
The studio version of this Dickie Betts original appeared on their 1970 album “Idlewild South.” The title of the song was inspired by a headstone Betts had seen while hanging out at the Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia…the very same cemetery that provides the final resting place of both Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Consoler Of The Lonely” by The Raconteurs
It’s been way too long since they released their last studio album a few years ago for this Jack White-led band featuring singer-songwriter Brendon Benson and members of The Greenhornes. I’ve been a member of Jack White’s Third Man Records’ record club which is a subscription service since its inception and every few months you […]
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Everyday I Love You Less And Less” by Kaiser Chiefs
Seven years is a lifetime in the music industry, and so it goes for Kaiser Chiefs. Their debut album, “Employment,” hit the shelves in 2005 giving fans a collection of taught exhilarating early XTC-inspired songs harking back to late ’70s New Wave and Punk Rock. They have released three subsequent albums to less acclaim especially […]
Heavy Water
I’m back with the 427th edition of The 3D RadioActivity, and this time we will be focusing on a mostly moist musical motif. Pull out a tall refreshing glass as we keep our ears primed, although if you ask “Uncle Marty, water you talking about?”, I’d have to say exactly. Download here: https://archive.org/download/The3dRadioactivity/3dradio_20180422-HeavyWater.mp3 An earlier […]
Song of the Day by Eric Berman – “Dear Prudence” by The Beatles
Prudence was, of course, actress Mia Farrow’s sister. They were in attendance in India studying Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi along with The Beatles, Donovan and Mike Love of the Beach Boys. Prudence was very serious about TM and spent most of her time in her room meditating. Beatle John was concerned for her […]
