July 26, 2010 - In The Grain with Jamie & Steve


Jamie Hoover and Steve Stoeckel were John's guests on this week's show. Back in April, John and I drove to Charlotte, NC and met up with Jamie and Steve. We recorded them at Jamie's place and filed it away for a future broadcast and new show idea. It was great meeting them and hanging with them for a couple days. They are two genuinely nice guys and I had a great time on the trip.


Because the interview was airing this week,I pulled out some music related to the two of them. Of course the Spongetones were part of that, since that band has been part of their lives for more than 30 years. But I also pulled out some other music that Jamie has produced and or played on and a couple other Spongetones-related things.


There were only three tracks on the playlist that had nothing to do with either Jamie or Steve and those three were played as special requests for the week. Besides, it's good to break things up occasionally. Here are the 15 songs that I played. Can you pick out the ones that were the special requests?


The Spongetones - Curiosity (Shoes cover)
The Hanging Chads - Think Too Hard (dB's cover)
Don Dixon & Jamie Hoover - Horizon (Let's Active cover)
The Everyday Things - Just Out Of Reach (Zombies cover)
Leisure McCorkle - New York Eyes
Coronet Blue - Fool In Love
The Spongetones - Stalemates
Jamie Hoover - Ignoramos And Andy
Peter & The Penguins - Here I Go Again (Spongetones cover)
GBU - Virgin Queen
Tommy Keene - Astronomy
The Thorns - Blue (Jayhawks cover)
The BB's - A Chance
The Van DeLecki's - NBG
The Spongetones - Pick That Up For A Song



Those songs led us into the first ever installment of "In The Grain". In The Grain is John's new idea for a show that combines interviews with acoustic performances. He has a list of artists who want to be part of this. All we have to do is work out the logistics to get everyone recorded. Until that happens, all we have is the premiere performance with Jamie & Steve. Here are the songs that they played during the show


Jamie & Steve - In The Grain
Emily's Ghost
Fly Girl
Let's Don't Count This One
Your Name Here

We had more people than usual listen to the show and hopefully they liked what they heard. If you want to download your own free copy of the interview, click on this link:
