Internet Radio History was made on Wednesday May 15, 2013 when four ex-members of The Pandoras:  Kim Shattuck, Melanie Vammen Buscher, Karen Blankfeld Basset, and Sheri Kaplan Weinstein, joined me on Over Under Sideways Down – LuxuriaMusic.com for two hours of no-holes-barred talk and music! Among the topics of discussion were The Pandoras leader, the late Paula Pierce’s not-too-secret affairs, the reason the band’s Elektra LP was never released, numerous line-up changes and drama as well as plenty of talk about music that inspired the band and of course the music the band played.  There were moments when I was reduced to stuttering and silence! Below is the link for the entire podcast – download and share with your friends! Enjoy the photos and set-list as well!

V/A: Swinging Mademoiselle Volume 3 LP

The person who compiled the album PROMISES this to be the final volume of the Swinging Mademoiselle series, of which the last volume was issued 10 years ago. This LP is also a companion to Girls in the Garage Volume 12 which is available for purchase here.

Swinging Mademoiselle Volume 3 contains fabulous French female garage, psych, freakbeat and pop tracks (some from Belguim and Switzerland) recorded  between 1963 to 1972 though most fall in to the ’65 – ’68 time frame, all from vinyl singles, in superb sound quality with a fully annotated (in French and English) and illustrated insert.

This volume features Valery, Michele, Dorine, Arlette Zola, Dyanna, Gilels et Dominique, Josiane Rey, Marie Claire Courcel, Nicole Josy, Patricia, Monica Berg, Francine Sarall, Christine Moncenis, Groupie, Elsa Laurent, and Martine Ledug.

Please be advised that even with careful shipping from France, the sealed album jackets have a small ding in one corner. Not bad enough that it should sway you away from purchasing the record but noticeable enough to where we wanted to tell you about it.

Tune in to LuxuriaMusic.com, 1/16/13,  3 – 5 pm Pacific for two hours of sweet and sassy sounds from some of our favorite female fronted vinyl 45s and LPs from the ’60s with a short set of ’77-78 Fem punk blasts on the SUGARTOWN episode of  Over Under Sideways Down featuring your host Lee Joseph and guest co-host, Athena Daytona.

Here is my playlist and podcast link for Over Under Sideways Down, show #11, my first live show in the newly moved and improved LuxuriaMusic studios. A departure from my usual focused theme shows, I plucked an assortment of records from the unfiled stacks in my house and came up with quite the musical roller coaster ride. Podcast links below. Hope you enjoy!

OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN
with your host Lee Joseph
The first and third Wednesday of the month
3 pm – 5 pm Pacific on LuxuriaMusic.com Internet radio

Hi Friends, I’m going to be joining the crew at LuxuriaMusic.com for my very own two-hour, bi-monthly Internet radio show called Over Under Sideways Down, which debuts on Wednesday June 6 from 3pm – 5pm Pacific.

I named the show after the beloved Yardbirds song, and the name describes perfectly where I’ll be taking the listener: All over the musical map.

Each show will have a different but focused theme. One of the two monthly shows will feature a guest musical or local art luminary who will discuss their past and/or present and share their own and their favorite music. The other show I will do solo, armed with two hours of music and minimal patter.

Here is the show line-up for June and July:

Wed June 6: Tucson, Arizona ’60s Sound Survey with special guest Manny Freiser.

The debut show will feature two hours of music and talk about the local Tucson, AZ. music scene in the 1960s. Former member of The Grodes / The Tongues of Truth  / Spring Fever and writer of Nuggets classic “Let’s Talk About Girls” will join me in-studio to discuss his experiences in the “Old Pueblo,” adventures in Phoenix and Los Angeles clubs and studios and his surprise discovery that one of his long forgotten compositions’ had become a garage-rock classic.

Wed June 20: First Day of Summer and Surf Spectacular

An entire show celebrating the season and featuring a slew of summer, sun, surf and beach songs!

Wed July 4: Voodoo!

Guest Bob Drasnin joins me in-studio to discuss the making of his exotica classic, Voodoo, his exotica comeback album Voodoo II, his big band days, recordings with Red Norvo and his time working in television as composer of music for shows like The Twilight Zone, Mission: Impossible, Wild, Wild West, Hawaii Five-0, Time Tunnel, Lost In Space, Mannix, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Voyage To The Bottom of the Sea. We will play some of his recordings, incidentals and his jazz favorites.

Wed July 18: Psych 102

Two hours of psychedelic sounds; honing in on tracks you probably, or should know.

Other show plans include:

A Gold Star Studio special featuring previously unheard interviews with studio owners and engineers Dave Gold, Stan Ross and Larry Levine with music and jingles recorded at the studio over their three plus decade existence.

East Side Sounds – Featuring a slew of East LA tracks from the early ‘60s through the early ‘70s with guest, East LA luminary Mark Gurerro.

Passion for Power – Featuring ‘60s power-pop and ‘70s – ‘80s Mod/power-pop revival tracks.

Bubble Glam – A mix of bubblegum and early glam.

Monstereo – A mono/stereo listening session featuring tracks mostly spanning 1966-1969 though I may throw in some exotica records too. I will play select mono/stereo mixes back to back and ask the listeners to comment (via chat room or email) on which ones they like best. Comment highlights will be featured on the Dionysus Records blog.

Do the Funky Ripple, Fletcher! – Two solid hours of soul and funk.

Why Don’t We Do It On The Road? – A mixture of live and fake live recordings.

Out of Vogue – Songs from the 1940s Vogue 78 RPM Picture Disc catalog as well as other 78 RPM treasures.

I’m also planning shows focusing on ‘50s R&B/doo-wop, rockabilly, exotica and more, and will be inviting special guests to share their stories and songs.

Please tune in, and if you can’t listen live, the shows are podcasted right after broadcast and archived on the LuxuriaMusic site.

Cheers –  See ya in the LuxuriaMusic.com chat room!
