This episode, The Little Lighthouse is a love letter to the city where I live now. Cleveland. For those who are out of town, Cleveland is currently leading a tough battle to save their beloved college radio station WCSB from the jaws of public media conglomerate Ideastream who colluded with Cleveland State University in a police action after which students were denied access to programming and their vast physical and digital library/archive. For my listeners outside of Cleveland, please hear in this episode true sounds of Cleveland. Among the music from the past, I also included fresh releases from the local bands. The quality of the stuff these people had put out is astonishing. These bands are all doing it DIY without publicists. Please help them out. Spread the word of this hostile takeover in your town. Preserve your local radio, support your local musicians. Be vibrant and not a stale repeater. Folks I bring you fresh, strong and defiant Cleveland from 2025: Forming Division, Non-Bruises, Red Devil Ryders, Stereo Burlesque, Xanny Stars, Lavender Jets, Suitor and Bill Fox. And some great stuff from the past.

One of the most interesting rock musicians that showed up on the scene in the past few years is David Nance from Nebraska. Last year we heard his excellent album Staunch Honey and now he’s back as a part of the band called Astute Palate. Billy Childish is very active recently and we check out his new album with CTFM. Billy Childish is active but not as active as Daniel Romano, who is here again with yet another project called Spider Bites. Melvins have a new single and it’s a peculiar tribute to Beach Boys. We hear new music from Muck and The Mires and introduce Cleveland’s Red Devil Ryders, Advertisement from Seattle and Isolators from Buffalo.
