Hello, is this thing on?Life has been in the way and I have let the blog go. I'm going to try and get back on it. I've been doing a column for the Fenway News. The new editor is friend of mine and he was astounded how little music coverage the paper was doing given that we are surrounded by music schools. So if you are in the neighborhood, pick up a Fenway News and read more of my ramblings.I had

The May 18th show was all instrumental. I had been wanting to do this show for awhile. I used some soundtrack stuff, jazz, some experimental rock and whatever I could find that was interesting and had no lyrics. I allowed some voice, as long as it was not in the form of traditional lyrics. So we had some la-la-las and humming and even some voice samples. The rule was the voice could be used

I'm falling behind here a bit, so bear with me. Due to some scheduling conflicts there were two Bingo Shows in a row (April 27 and May 4)The April 27th show was called "Songs I Bet You Never Heard" . I'm sure some have heard some of these songs, but what I was going after was songs and artists that are severely underplayed/underappreciated. I even wanted to do a few obscure songs from well known

I had the pleasure of having Tiger Saw live on my On The Towngig and the engineer called in sick-- so we had to improvise and the Tigers went and got thier acoustic instruments and did a nice acoustic set in Studio A. I also let the band pick songs and Heather went wild playing DJ.We ended up having a lot of fun and I want to thank Tiger Saw for being good sports and wish them good luck on their

So- road songs. Songs about driving trucks, driving cool sports cars, hanging out in cars, racing cars, and songs that are just good for rolling down the windows and blaring the music.We started off with The revved up sounds of Gear Masher, by the Deuce Coupes, to get us in the hot rod mood, Alex Chilton and Big Star took us into the Back of A Car, local faves Mr Airplane Man did a Lonesome

I titled the last show Songs of Humor and Protest as a homage to the poet/artist Kenneth Patchen. Patchen was an interesting guy-- a self proclaimed anarchist, his poems were subtly political. He was also one of the first to read with jazz accompaniment. I tried hard to find a track of him reading his poetry on short notice, but the best I could come up with was a snippet of a track off Kenneth

With apologies to Kenneth PatchenThis week's show will look at songs of protest. We all know about the 60's Vietnam and civil rights protest songs-- but we'll go beyond that and look at protest songs today, which don't seem to wear their hearts as unabashedly on their sleeves.Of course there will be some 60's stuff, too. And we can't forget the original protesters-- the Unions. So we'll look at

My last show was on March 9th (there was some schedule juggling going on) and after having a conversation with a friend about Canada being part of America-- I decided to devote half a show to Canadian music. Once I started researching, I found so much good stuff that I had plenty to fill the show and still, there was some I didn't get to. When people think Canada and music, I think they think of

The Bingo Show is going off into cyberspace.For those who just stumbled upon this-- The Bingo Show is a radio show I do on WMFO Tufts University radio. It's a community station run by students and staffed by students and community members. You can listen at wmfo.org or through ITunes under Public Radio. And of course, if you are in the Boston area, you can always listen the old fashioned way by
