I’m everybody’s Uncle Marty, this is The 3D RadioActivity, and since this is our 451st adventure, we are turning it into one that reflects on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel whose title is the Fahrenheit temperature at which books and other paper will catch on fire.

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“Big Boss Man” was written by Luther Dixon and Al Smith and was originally made famous by Jimmy Reed in 1961.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 […]
