The Podcast #4 – Purple Rain is 25 years old, and we decide to cover that!
Episode # 4 – Purple Rain – The Covers
This summer marks the 25th anniversary of Prince’s epic movie/soundtrack/media tsunami that we remember as Purple Rain. I was 20, and just moved to NYC and could feel what this thing was doing to the club/disco fashion scene. I was already deep into the New Ro scene and needless to say my wardrobe expanded with more leather, lace and eyeliner. But enough about me.
I thought it might be interesting to hear Purple Rain as a covers record. I have had a few tracks that I particularly liked, and had to dig for a few other. They are listed below. Hope you enjoy it. Love it or hate it, leave a comment. Not only does it tell me what you think, but it also enters you into this month’s content -$25 50 gift certificate to Amazon or iTunes and a copy of The Dirt, the Motley Crew Story that I about ready to crack open. Thanks for following us on Twitter, and thanks for being you.

The Podcast #3 – Bands that will be at #BFD 09 #Live105 The Offspring, 311, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cage The Elephant, Audrye Sessions …
Episode # 3 – Bands that will be at #BFD 09
So BFD 09 is right around the corner – June 6, presented by Live 105, which happens to be my favorite radio station here in the bay area. Stoked to be going, but alas, going solo as my wife @missPuss will be pulling a Little Red Riding Hood and setting off to visit her Grandmother in Florida. So that leaves me without a wingman and an extra ticket that I have to figure out what to do with.
In this episode of the podcast, I thought it would be cool to showcase a few of these bands doing some cover tracks. Hope you enjoy em. Hit me up on twitter if you are planning on being at BFD 09. Make some comments on the blog. Nice ones, that tell me you like what you hear.
