    • True. I guess I shoulda said "heavy handed, constant-to-the-point-of-grating" reverb.

      A lil goes a long way, cats.

    • October 22, 2009 11:19 AM CDT
    • I agree to a point. I dig the reverb when just saying funny stuff. I'm a big fan of reverb in almost any form. But I do agree that hearing the setlist clearly is a great thing.

    • ...so that the less fortunate can hear the set list when you announce it.

      Blessed are those who have style rather than gimmick. I succumb/subscribe to you.

      And Gaw' bless the ones who comment their setlists. Seriously sexy.

      Especially blessed are the talking heads. Yammer away. I think all your talk, talk, talk is cute.

      ...Just catching up on all the podcasts. Great job and thanks for keeping it going, Kopper. Btw, when's the last time you did a podcast?

    • Sarah speaks the truth. I was djing in New York with Jonathan Toubin in Sept at the Motor City and a kid got thrown through the front window during my set. Upong hearing this when i got back home to Portland a club booked me for a monthly night. "Anyone that gets someone thrown through a window while djing must be good, how's tuesday sound?"

      I don't think our radio show has much cross pollination with the people that come see us live though. Most of our radio followers are not local, but our club night is a lot of hot college girls.

      Hot Chilean bartender helps, as does both djs being in bands, although i dress "Portland casual" and the other guy dresses "Portland skinhead" we still get some of the kids that wear period clothes.

    • Can no one help?

    • We should proceed with caution, as simply linking to a bunch of labels that GPPN plays, without any stronger affiliation with the label, would probably make things worse, since that kind of IS a promotion, rather than a simple organic link.

      Like, GPPN plays stuff from Estrus, but GPPN isn't the ONLY outlet for Estrus, and therefore isn't a significant link. If the label owners would mention GPPN in their article, that'd be pretty slick, but popping superfluous links in the See-Alsos all over wikipedia is something they'll probably discourage.

      ..in my opinion.

      And, why hasn't that guy tagged all those other shitty podcasts yet?

    • I've done just that, see how long it lasts, I ain't gonna hold my breath though...

    • Watcha Weirdos and welcome to my NEW weekly dose of GOOD TASTE If your a regular listener you'll know my tastes can be a bit eclectic! So here's a chance for you to hear what lengths my rock'n'roll weirdness stretches to.Everyone likes looking through someone else's music collection, don't they? With that in idea in mind I've decided to deliver you a weekly (hey, I'll try my best!) selection of what is currently buzzing around my ears. This shows gonna be short and sweet because of its frequency (don't worry I'll still be putting out the longer YOU GOT GOOD TASTE themed shows), so for that reason it's gonna be limited to four killer, oldies but goodies! I'm also gonna do my best to include a bit of info on the chosen artists, songs or any related trash that I think might be relevant. Depending on what happens to be twanging my thang on any given week, I guarantee the tunes you'll hear will rock'n'roll and shake your soul. Don't forget to check out my blog where you'll find all kinds of trashy photos, videos.... you know what I mean http://mrathebarber.blogspot.com/ Contact me with any suggestions or just to be abusive! So here goes for this week, hope you enjoy it. Stay Weird'n'Wild Mr A The Barber Bit of a Detroit Cobras related week at Mr A's http://yougotgoodtaste.podOmatic.com/ Solomon Burke - Stupidity Burke began his adult life as a preacher in Philadelphia, and soon moved on to hosting a gospel radio show. In the 1960s, he signed with Atlantic Records and began moving towards more secular music. "Stupidity" is a full fleshed out R&B dandy, complete with rolling keyboards a wailing horn arrangement and was the flip side to the 1963 song "Can't Nobody Love You" (a classic country soul ballad). Apparently, the Stupidity was intended to be a dance, something along the links of "The Swim", "The Duck", etc. Joe Jones - California Sun Jones was a New Orleans pianist, bandleader, singer, promoter and talent scout whose peak years were from the late 1950’s through the mid-1960’s. Joe Jones had two hit records in his career, “California Sun” being the less successful, reaching #89 in 1961. A year earlier, he had scored much bigger (#3) with the song he is best remembered for, “You Talk Too Much” In 1964, the song was recorded by a band of Indiana teenagers, The Rivieras. Their stripped down, guitar-organ combo, surf/rock approach kicked it up a notch and took it to #1. “I’m Laughing At You” by the Gardenias is a fast paced piano based R&B, wrote and recorded for the Detroit's Fortune label in 1957 The Detroit Cobras - Stupidity The Cobras are an underground rock & roll act that pays homage to the decades of artists who have hit the vinyl before them. These Motor City garage rockers combine gospel, soul, R&B, and '50s rock & roll to create a unique mix of retro innocence and tight, danceable music overflowing with rhythm and grit. While a band that only does covers may sound like a one-trick pony, the Cobras manage to mine the hidden parts of bygone eras, coming back with gems that might go otherwise unheard to the next generations, and creating a great style of their own in the process. "Shout Bama Lama" was originally recorded by Otis Redding & the Pinetoppers in 1960.
