Getting Started

WFMU's fundraiser starts Monday. Folks who pledge to my show will get this set of 22 spectacular postcards! Pledge anytime at www.wfmu.org/playlists/SH Or pledge while I'll be live on the air March 8 & 15th - and I'll have great prizes to give away then as well! @wfmu.bsky.social

31:15 minutes into the latest episode of “This America Life” (the episode titled “How To Win Friends and Influence People) a piece of music I wrote (and recorded in my basement with one microphone) titled “Pearl River” is used as music score. Worth a listen!

Sorry to hear about the passing of Andy Paley. On today's radio show (11-1pm) I'll be playing a bit my 2013 Paley Bros. chat - topics include opening for Sean Cassidy at MSG & recording (loudly) at Brother Studios w/ The Ramones. Whole conversation at: www.wfmu.org/playlists/sh... @wfmu.bsky.social

In my 2008 chat with Shel Talmy I asked him what % of royalties due he'd been paid - he said "40 or 50%" Also, when he was born... answer: "1941." Which maybe wasn't 100% accurate. Very rock & roll answer. Our whole chat has been podcast today shorturl.at/YzyGp (or wherever) @wfmu.bsky.social

On Saturday's radio show I'll be chatting with Melanie Vammen about her recent project, a zine called "Melanie And Kim Mondays" which documents the incredible friendship she shared with longtime bandmate Kim Shattuck, one of my all-time favorite songwriters. It's a beautiful, moving story.
