Special guests, award-winning filmmaker Phoebe Tooke and fellow RV'er DJ Jeffrey from POME POME TONES, join Jim G in a discussion and celebration of radio.

Special Guests & music enthusiasts John Everett and Paul Stanley join me as we bang down summer's door, providing banter & sharing some of our favorite LIVE tracks.

Show #25: Hoosier Hysteria
Indiana native sons Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave) and Bill Cameron (Winechuggers) join former Bloomingtonian DJ Jim G on a three hour (!!!) excursion of Indiana music. Fun anecdotes and trade secrets are shared but, mostly the RAWK is delivered here in this particular geographical study. We drop the needle and many grateful nods on some of the best music to come out of the Bloomington/Indianapolis area (and more), 70's through the present day.

Show #24: Mancunian Candidates or Do the mancurian chicken
We remember Ian Curtis as he passed on from this world 34 years ago tonight. We pay tribute by revisiting the seminal Joy Division and some other Manchester contemporaries of their day. In addition, DJ Jim G keeps it dicey with other sonic dips and turns as lethargy sneaks in and threatens control in the inter zone. Chickens do dance infinitely, Ian… (RIP)

Show #23: Me and yo mutha
Mothers Day, 2014. Moms, Mothers, Ma's, and Mamas all unite! We pay tribute to Mommys everywhere with hits & shits from some of our favorite artists. Shits!? Well, let's just say not every song here about Mama is rosy and smothered in hugs.

Show #20: Risen Ink or Doin' time for our sins, it's Jesus.
This year on 4.20, aka Easter, we get high on Jesus. There's no preaching but there's plenty of Gospel and other sonic favorites here exploring the man, the prophet, the chosen one. From crucifixion to resurrection, it's all about Jesus.

Show #19: B sides the point, side 2!
We here at W!C!P! are all about records. We like all kinds but, there's something real special about the beloved 7" or "45". Back in the day, artists depended on singles to achieve their way to the top of the charts and later on independent artists relied on the 7" format to sell at shows (inexpensively) to get their music into our hot little hands.

Every 7" record has an "A" side that usually contains the "hit" or a song the artist obviously wants you to experience first. But sometimes on the "B" side is where things get interesting. Either labeled as "throwaways" or experimental recordings for particular artists, these tracks would sometimes become a hit themselves or be found deep on an album buried between other non hit songs; OR the assigned "B" side track just remained an orphan of sorts, existing solely beneath "A" territory.

Wax! Crackle! Pop! proudly presents a new series, every other month, where we exclusively investigate the other side, flipping it all over and that's B SIDES THE POINT. Vinyl geek, B side enthusiasts John Seden and John Everett are regular guests!

Check out show #12 for B sides the point - phase 1!

Show #17: Where the faces shine
RIP Stooges drummer Scott Asheton. We kick doors down with the most infectious groove committed to wax circa 1970 that changed everything. After being down on the street with rubber legs we get funky and graze the sea with feel. Radio waves crash in, washing us over with African grooves and unconditional moves.

Former LA resident, present musician extraordinaire (Bitterwind), and self-proclaimed music geek, Dana Berry is our special guest as we dive into 1980's Los Angeles. We make the rounds with some suburban punk, snotty haze-filled garage blasts, back alley (alt-) country, and of course the infamous paisley underground.

Show #14: Leave your body behind
STEP 1: ROCK and bounce about the place. Choose your surroundings. This can and will work everywhere.
STEP 2: With the lights down low, dig DEEP and breathe. You choose the landscape. Improvisational positions are welcome.
STEP 3: More mental exercises, starting at the top and pushing all the way through to your feet. Toe tapping in funky measures is guaranteed. Ascension will occur.
STEP 4: Return and release yourself to some sugar coated NOISE. Muscles relaxed and pores now open, LET GO. Rock N Roll. Repeat STEP 1.
STEP 5: Leave your body behind...

Show #13: Butchered or Nurtured? Covering The Beatles.
February 9, 1964: The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan show, forever changing pop music and culture as we know it. February 9, 2014: 50 years later, W!C!P! pays our respects and play to reflect what the Beatles done and what other artists had done to Beatles songs. Too many choice covers to fit in two hours. Look for a sequel in the future...

Show #11: Heavy Horses, Foolish Frogs and Uncool Friends
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Or is it kung hei fat choi? Either way, it's the year of the horse, folks. The horse imagery in this first set gets heavy quick, then wrestles itself away and breaks free. After quick detours through Tropicália and Brit punk paraphernalia, we drop into cycle-delics, head first, where contact highs are inevitable. Listeners, take care...

W!C!P! pours a little of it's 40 on the ground for Pete Seeger, Christopher Jones, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Thanks, fellas.
