Electrophonic Tonic Playlist! 2001 End of Year.

Excuse the tardiness and Happy New Year. Find attached, for your perusal dear reader, the ET Christmas Eve AND New Years Eve program plays. Xmas-eve was right off the playlist entirely-for reasons I can't divulge here. The last two shows of 2001 and the NYE programme even featured the one and only, the dude his-self, Mr. Colin (CoCo) Bryce co-hosting. We both presented (as best we could being the guys we are-stunned by the cold and the three flights of unaccompanied stair well upon our arrivals) our top picks for the year in no particular order. If you were there, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout, yeh?
Love Ya. MONk

From 2004, another Electrophonic Tonic Playlist You Missed...

Here is how it all went down one Monday night back in 2004. Ray Condo is still deceased, and I am very much alive, thank Christ! To all of you out there that love music...check summa these out. Much Love...JMo!

As I type this I'm listening to the last few seconds of the last track on the new Alligator release "Houndog Taylor-Release The Hound" which compiles previously unreleased live tracks of the 'Dog in full tilt.
Mr. Taylor is kibbitzing on mike with another band member about it being time to bring out the "champagne and vaseline". Woah.
Classic stuff. Unadulterated, old school badass, goofing around. It doesn't get any saucier-or better-as time passes do it? Oh yes. And the entire album before these sweet last few seconds kinda warms it up real nice, do you know what I'm saying? Thanks for tuning in.
I'll be back in three weeks with mo'. Tune-in every week as the ET co-hosts make some great things happen, aurally speakin'.
hugs
MONk

rave on people..........

...why does 2005 seem SO LONG AGO?

What we do here is rock. Okay so it may not always BE rock but in some fashion, and this includes some groovy people too, the good ones rock. It's practically indefinite but it exists. James Blood Ulmer rocks when he plays his bluesy guitar on his latest "Birthright". It's a feel-they used to call it soul. And soul is in there too. Big ass-grinding soul that makes you feel like you are going to pleasantly p-o-p. The curious know where to find it and when they do they want and wish for more and more and wonder when the rest of the world will get it. But they won't, and the way this whole thing is set up, they aren't supposed to anyhoo. Enjoy it while you can, you lovers of today, rock as if there is no reason not to. Cos there ain't and you should.

The MONk 2009 view: As I review this playlist all these years later it is obvious, to me anyway, that I have pretty good taste. If you were a fan of this radio show you probably have some eclectic tastes yrself and for that you should feel proud, and maybe even a little broke. Looking back I see that there are more than a few tracks that still move me. The Faces, Bob Dylan, Dwight Twilley, Sonic's Rendezvous band, The Pirates and even the Sarah Lee Guthrie still move me to shufflin'. Hit me with an email if you need anything fleshed out. I love to aid those that need some kickapoo joy juice in their musical day. The groom is still waiting at the altar....
