This episode is a special dedicated to the record stores of Cleveland. Last Saturday afternoon I left out to see Bassholes. The gig was canceled so I decided to make a tour around Cleveland’s record stores. Friend of mine Jaime made me company. We first hit My Mind’s Eye which I frequently visit. The store has two rooms, one filled with CDs and other filled with two vinyl sections – one with new stuff and other with used stuff. There is also a section with literature. So I grabbed the newest Manchild by Brian Walshby. Again, it comes with Melvins CD as a bonus. I also got a few LPs. Then Jaime suggested we hit Hodad’s. I never been there before, but I love the place. A bunch of records of all genres and ages and a very cute 7″ section. This is the only store in Cleveland that has reasonable prices for 7″. Quality is good too. Jamie picked two local 7″: Cobra Verde’s split with Leaving Trains and Downsider Special – the old band for the Cobra Verde’s Frank Vazzano. Then we drove over to Collinwood where we hit my favorite store Blue Arrow Records. To my surprise, they had a new bargain bin section filled with 1 and 2 dollar records. It was not your typical bargain bin section – it had a lot of cool stuff. Among other’s phenomenal second LP for the House of Freaks, Tantilla. This was an opportunity for the owner of the Pete Gulyas and I to reminisce about the tragic demise of Bryan Harvey’s family. When we got to This Way Out, a photo shoot with some chick dressed in skimpy outfits took place over there. We took this opportunity to ruin their photo shoot by posing with them, and we spent some time chatting with Dave who reveals to us that he volunteers at the store in the breaks of being a rock star. Then we went to Music Saves the next door. It was closed for the moment, but we gave up waiting and left home with bags full of records. This show is (almost) entirely consisted of music bought that day!

Mixed bag today, folks. Soul, blues, glam, power pop… and the stones. Yeah, the reissue of Exile On Main Street is scheduled for May, but as the record company decided to put out a special single out on the record store day with a song dug out from the Exile vaults called Plundered My Soul. When you think of that the Stones actually had so many good songs those days that they just threw out something like that… Another reissue for this year is Elvis Costello’s Live At The Hollywood High ep this time expanded to a full blown long playing CD reissue. Red Shoes sound particularly good on that one. We also check out new albums for the Black Keys and for Sharon Jones.

Today we feature no less than three new truly exceptional records – one for Memphis musician Harlan T. Bobo, other for Holly Golightly and finally – Sweet Apple LP is out. This week in April might have brought three best records of 2010! Harlan’s third record is entitle Sucker. Not only it’s on par with his previous two records, but it also very well may be his best one yet. Diverse piece and a modern classic. Holly Golightly is again here with her Brokeoffs and it very well might be the hight of this duet’s career. Sweet Apple’s new album Love and Desperation is an instant hit record, lots of hooks and humor, but also some unexpected lyrical depths. But, let’s not forget to dedicate today’s show to Malcolm McLaren – legendary manager of Sex Pistols and a rock’n’roll maverick who died on April 8 this year.

Bobby died in 1995, but a collection of recordings with various fidelity came out only now. Aleksandar made an interview with Sonny. Look for the tied up lady logo link among our bonuses on the right bar on this page.

Just a few short months ago we lost Jim Dickinson. And now another Memphis rock’n’roll legend left the planet. Dickinson and Chilton are actually much more than Memphis rock’n’rollers. They are an epitome of a true rock’n’roll star anywhere in the world. Beautiful, uncompromising, larger than life but at the same time. Alex Chilton also epitomizes a sad, defeated rock’n’roll star, enormous talent that had difficulties finding its audience. When Chilton was 16 he had an early success with The Box Tops, but that was a little too much, a little too early. Â Alex simply did not feel free to do his own thing. When he was ready to conquer the world in his twenties with The Big Star, he created a musical landscape that audience did not understand – as it was at least twenty years ahead of its time. Then Alex battled addiction to drugs and alcohol and recorded albums that were about to de-construct the very fabric of rock’n’roll – his solo albums were a diary of a man who’s sending signals from some other reality and his work with Tav Falco we all about striping the pop music from all the glitz and glitter to something rugged and rough, but much more honest and longer lasting. He then became an in-demand music producer, moved to New Orleans and eventually left all his vices. In New Orleans, after Katrina, he went missing for awhile and luckily he resurfaced. But just four and a half short years after, in Chilton got a heart attack in his home in New Orleans and that was it. He was only 59 years old, but his music is some of the most inspiring ever laid on tape. This is a two hour tribute to this great man. Even this double deck of Chilton’s music is not enough, so please check out another tribute to Chilton below, Igor’s Sympathy for Rock’n’Roll (look for the Panther on fire logo).
