Takin' to the airwaves

March 24, 2010 in Misc, Music | 2 comments

I was asked to flesh out my last blog post for a special Alex Chilton tribute, for the show "The Ledge", on Real Punk Radio.

The show airs on Fridays at 9pm Central (10pm Toronto time) and is hosted by Scott Hudson, AKA Paulisded, one cool guy from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

If the time slot doesn't work for you,  you can listen to the show anytime here, but you'll miss the opportunity to chat with Scott (and me!) during the show.

So do what you have to do, but be sure to listen. Scott's pulled together some beautiful material and created a very touching tribute to the great Alex Chilton.

RIP Alex Chilton

Alex Chilton once told me to fuck off, in the middle of a gig, in front of an entire audience.

When he felt like it tho, he could be the nicest guy and would sign almost anything you put under his nose after a show. I saw him play another local show, with a friend who worked in a used record store. He'd brought along a stack of official and not-so-official releases and when he presented these to him, Alex shoved the official stuff aside and signed each and every one of the bootlegs.

He was cool like that.

Speaking of talkies

It's Oscar weekend and while I won't be watching the actual show (too long and meh, kinda boring), I have been tuning in to see a lot of the old-time great movies TCM always screens in the run-up to the ceremony.

Let me just say for the record that the young Anthony Perkins was yummyhot, and I have a sudden urge to grow my hair out, like Ava Gardner in On The Beach.

That's all for now!
