SmileSo, Beach Boys finished Smile… I don’t know exactly what to think of it. This album probably never even had a clear vision, and it’s unclear how you can complete it with chaotic pieces that the Boys recorded back in the day. Still, the concept behind it is so intriguing that it will hunt the rock’n’roll forever. It hunts me too. In this show, a portion of the playlist is delivered in Smile format, with a lot of cutting and pasting. Check it out from 14:28 to 28:16 in part 1. The rest of the show brings you new tunes from King Khan and Electric Six. We also have new names Jerusalem and the Starbaskets, Barrarecudas, and The Excitements. Giant Sand has a reissue of Chore of Enchantment and there’s a tribute out there for Ian Dury.

Another great news is that we’re now syndicating in Kragujevac again! The oldest and furthest reaching radio station over there, Radio Kragujevac on 94.7 MHz picked our show for their program and the scheduled times are Sundays from 4 to 5 pm and on Tuesday from 2 to 3 pm their time (CET). We’re glad to be back on air over there.
