33 1/3 Cents a Pound Episode 11 (October 2013)

Episode 11, Back 'n' Ballin', the first episode of a brand new season of my exclusive radio show podcast Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound, has officially been posted. Click below to listen to the show.

33 1/3 Cents a Pound began as a college radio show on WRCT Pittsburgh 88.3fm in 1997. Founded by a couple of skinny nerds who liked hip-hop, the show went on to become a mainstay at 'RCT, one of the nation's premier college radio stations. The first episode aired in January of 1997 from 2 to 6 in the morning and, as the show became more popular, worked its way up to the prime time Friday evening 8-10pm slot, college radio's preeminent pre-party time slot.

My show returned in January of 2013 as a streaming podcast with 10 all new episodes in the Winter and Spring. I've returned now for the second new season, with episodes set to go up once a month, October through May, an annual schedule I plan to maintain going forward. 

You can follow me on mixcloud to hear this, and older, episodes, and get their mobile app to take JoeSoRadio with you everywhere you go.

This episode, Back 'n Ballin', features a nice Bone Thugs mix segment, a couple of songs by k-os, and a new segment I'm calling a "subgenre medley" where I pick two subgenres that I think play well together. This week's subgenre medley features the classic Western Swing sounds of Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys and some traditional ska selections from Prince Buster, Jimmy Cliff, and others. You'll hear some classic blues based rock from Three Dog Night, Grand Funk Railroad, and Led Zeppelin, as well as some Jackie Mittoo inspired rocksteady reggae and a dash of Mary Poppins, among others.

Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound Episode 10 (May-June 2013)

Yes! 'Twas a long time in the making -- including recording the whole episode and then completely scrapping and redoing it -- but Episode 10 of the All New Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound has arrived. At the beginning of the year I set out to do 10 episodes of a radio show podcast, and I achieved my goal. If I may get cheesy for a moment ... it feels really good to not only do the radio show again, but to do 10 full episodes and to have done a good job mixing, recording, producing, and, yes, even talking. I absolutely love the feeling of being "on the air" again, and I really appreciate all the friends (and strangers) who have supported me in this endeavor!

SkiDog - Thanks for keeping me on task even when certain distractions got in the way. Listening "live" with you Saturday mornings was awesome, and your running commentary remains unparalleled.

Caitlinn - Thanks for all your feedback and music recommendations. Double thanks for spreading the word, and, most importantly, thanks for just enjoying the show and appreciating my hard work.

JJ - Thanks for filling my life with so much good music back in the day and for all the encouraging facebook posts when I started doing Thirty Three and a Third Cents a Pound again at the beginning of the year.

Jaimee - I don't think you actually listened to any of the episodes, but that's ok because most of the music is from you! I had no idea how much music I have from you until I started doing this.

Avniel - Your extensive collection was also well represented in these 10 return episodes of 33 1/3 Cents a Pound. I'm really glad I got to burn binders of your CDs before burning binders of CDs stopped being cool.

Your support means a lot...

This show features Issa Bagayogo, Big Boi, Infected Mushroom, and the Presets, among others, and most of the show is mix-segued. This episode has less variety than usual, but still explores the depths of aural possibilities and is, of course, banging to the end. I think the Infected Mushroom hip-hop mash-ups turned out great. That part was all improvised.

Amazing Quotation from Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Screamin' Jay Hawkins

So, I just downloaded Creedence Clearwater Revival's greatest hits, which led me to wonder who wrote the song "I Put a Spell on You," which they covered in 1968. I always think of it is a Nina Simone song, so I wondered if she had written it or not. The wikipedia page for the song itself has this mindblowing quote from the composer, Screamin' Jay Hawkins: "Hawkins had originally intended to record 'I Put a Spell on You' as a refined love song, a blues ballad. He reported, however, that the producer 'brought in ribs and chicken and got everybody drunk, and we came out with this weird version.^[4] I don't even remember making the record. Before, I was just a normal blues singer. I was just Jay Hawkins. It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death.'" A-mazing. Keep on destroying, 'em, Jay. YOU MUST WATCH THIS AMAZING VIDEO:
