THE HIDDEN CAPITAL

Playlists, etc.

It's been a year (at least or almost) since I have posted any fresh content here. The show is still going on, but playlist-wise things are in a weird transitional phase. Right now, the best place to find my playlists is on the facebook page for my show, The Hidden Capital.

At some point, I will be using trackblaster, but I haven't had or taken the time to get myself all trained-up and approved to use this really awesome resource that WMBR provides.

Still... sorry for the lack of data. Keep tuning in when you can. And thanks for listening!

took the week off/playlist catch-up

I want to thank Will Kuhlman -- longtime Breakfast of Champions champ and unsung all-purpose behind-the-scenes tech hero at WMBR -- for covering my show yesterday afternoon. I got to tune in to much of it as Becky and I shot south on 128/24 towards Newport for some low-key quality time with my family. Since my plea for a sub was so last minute, I was hoping for nothing more than something that wasn't dead air; when Will said he would do it, I knew it was in good hands, AND he decided to stick to the local theme. The dubiously authorized return of Somerville Speakout was a nice bonus feature. I await feedback from Patrick Bryant's PDX law office.

Not sure if Will is going to post a playlist or not, but in the meantime you can get a streaming archive for the next two weeks if you want to listen to the show by clicking this link for the 7/3/10 edition of The Hidden Capital.

As for my own playlists, I am still in catch-up mode, but I just posted (see below) playlists for two of the three most recent shows I did (6/12 and 6/19). The playlist for 6/26 is coming soon; the streaming archive for that one is available here for just about another week: link.

Here is the playlist for the second installment of The Hidden Capital. I will be cleaning up this shitty formatting and posting the playlist for the debut show from a week earlier shortly, but in the meantime I wanted to get something posted. More soon.

The Hidden Capital - new radio show debuts Saturday, 5/22/10 on WMBR

"Boston... the hidden rock and roll capital of the world..." - Peter Zaremba of NYC garage stalwarts The Fleshtones

This Saturday marks the debut of my new radio program on WMBR FM, The Hidden Capital. The show will be driven by new music from the greater Boston area but will also explore the wealth of Boston rock history in WMBR's extensive archives. While there will undoubtedly be plenty of classic Boston rock bands turning up in each week's playlist, my goal is not to make this a mere exercise in nostalgia; I am interested in fitting Boston's current vital crop amidst the great local bands (most now defunct, but a few still kicking) that preceded them.

I also plan to go beyond things that have seen the light of vinyl; in the past year or so, WMBR has taken up the exhaustive task of digitizing a couple of decades worth of rare tape recordings and demos. This project is ongoing, but it has already returned a huge amount of lost material to our fingertips. New local demos will also be welcome.

The Hidden Capital will broadcast every Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. EST on 88.1 FM on the terrestrial dial in the greater Boston area, with live streams and streaming archives available at wmbr.org.

For requests during the show, call (617) 253-8810.

For local demo (mp3, etc.) submissions and comments, email me at: thehiddencapital(at)gmail(dot)com

Or mail recordings to:

Thanks, and hope you will tune in!
