This Sunday (9-12-10) night, I will be a guest on "The Local Bands Show" hosted by Rick Allison & James Velvet.

For the past 20 years, Rick & James have been supporting Local New Haven/CT music every Sunday night at 10PM on WPLR 99.1 FM.

And for the past 9 they've been gracious enough to allow me to be their guest in order to promote the Annual IndepenDisc Birthday Bash, which I traditionally host in early Sept. at Cafe` 9 in New Haven.

The Birthday Bash always Features Local Music and The Local Bands Show is one of the best places to listen to Local Music on your Radio. So tune in to The Local Bands Show this Sunday at 10PM to hear me babble a bit & play songs from the 3 bands performing at this years IndepenDisc 12th B'day Bash, The Big Fat Combo, The Frank Critelli Band and The Mold Monkies, as well as tracks from Shark & Twenty To Twelve.

And don't forget to listen to The Local Bands Show every Sunday night as Rick & James continue to educate the masses.

On the subject of Radio, there are two other shows I'd reccommend as well. First every Thursday at 5:05PM be sure to tune in to "Homegrown - Connecticut Connected Music" hosted by the Thin Man himself, Rob DeRosa, which can be found on WESU 88.1 FM.

Then, every Wednesday night from 9:00PM - Midnight, I host Radio IndepenDisc online on Cygnus Radio. I play 3 hours of "Select" independent music from all over the globe, but with a solid base of Local New Haven/CT music. I've been "on air" for 5 years now and one years worth of streaming/downloadable shows are available 24/7 on the Radio Archives page of the IndepenDisc web site. There is a slight format in which I run "freeform 70s style AOR" mostly 3-4-5 song sets from various artists. There are Feature shows, like "Mix-Tape Wed" - every 2nd Wed of the month I put together a "Themed" Mix-Tape style show, and the reason for this blog post, besides promoting my appearence on The Local Bands Show, every 1st Wed. of the Month is "Features Wed." where I play music from every CD that has been Featured for that month since IndepenDisc began in 1998. To accentuate this concept I'm including a transcript from the Cygnus Radio chatroom of a conversation that took place during this months "September Features" show.

After which I will list the artists played, what year they were Featured, & the direct stream links for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

(05:47:36) DJ_G.Gone: no, with & Idea that i want to feature it
(05:47:56) DJ_G.Gone: so then I have to take time with the band to do the business end
