33 1/3 Cents a Pound, Episode 14, Ya Heard (Jan 2014)

Episode 14, Ya Heard! This show starts off with a powerful classic rock kick before going into a nice nerdcore DJ mix segment. In the third half of the show (what up Tom & Ray) you will hear a short mix of 4 genre-defying instrumental songs that I produced myself. I can't promise you'll like it, but I can promise you've never heard anything like it. I don't have any musical skill in terms of chords, keys or clefs -- or anything even resembling these talents or even an awareness of what these words mean. But I do get bass lines and keyboard or guitar melodies playing inside my head so I did my best to recreate them electronically. So there you have it! Finally the show wraps up with one of the most influential Jamaican singers of all time, Laurel Aitken, so enjoy that medley.

33 1/3 Cents a Pound Episode 13 Been There Done That (Dec 2013)

I posted this episode on New Year's Eve, January 31, 2013, a few hours before the year ran out. Even though I had finished recording the episode early, I got lazy/busy around the holidays and it took me a while to post it. But at least I did get it up before the month (and year) ended. I thought it made sense to explore some of the artists I saw this year, so this special theme show edition -- Been There, Done That -- presents all artists that I saw perform live this year!

I've got Edward Sharpe and Red Baraat from Arts Fest; Escort and Conspirator, who played on my birthday at the Rex Theater; three local bands who helped close down the Shadow Lounge last Spring; plus several other performers who intrigued my eardrums last year.

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.
