Tune in this afternoon! We are listing to "Paper in Fire” from John Melloncamps 9th studio album The Lonesome Jubilee (released on August 24, 1987).

“Paper in Fire” was the first single released off the album on August 15, 1987. It is said that while recording the track Mellencamp told his band that this was the best song he had written.

The song takes inspiration from a wide range of elements, much of it from the “fiery tempers” of the Mellencamp family members with a particular focus on his Uncle Joe who Mellencamp describes as his own worst enemy and embodied an “Ingrained Anger” . The overall theme of the song is the destructive inner turmoil and tragedy of families failing to mature.

John drew heavily from the book of Ecclesiastes found in the old testament and included a verse from the passage on the inside sleeve of the album. The verse “we keep no check on our appetites” is a direct reference to the 1963 Film Hud starring Paul Newman.

The song also has some roots to the Lowcounty as well. The video for the song was filmed on the out skirts of Savannah and the second video to promote the song “Cherrybomb” was filmed on Hilton Head.

These Two guys need homes for the Holidays!
Our first fury friend is Doink, the lovable couch potato with a big heart and an even bigger toy collection! His favorite ritual? Gathering every toy he owns and proudly piling them onto the couch before settling in for cuddles. Doink is playful, sweet, and loves being close to his people. He's mellow at heart and happiest lounging beside you, preferably with a plush toy tucked under his chin. If you're looking for a goofy, affectionate companion who's as soft as a Sunday afternoon, Doink is your guy. You can find him at Charleston Animal Society on Remount Road in North Charleston!
His adoption is free thanks to Adler Realty!
Cowabunga is a 1-year-old Staffie boy bursting with energy, joy, and endless love. This fun, goofy pup is always ready for an adventure - whether it's exploring new trails, sniffing every interesting scent along the way, or just bouncing around with his humans.
Cowabunga is still learning about the world and can be a bit under-socialized, so he'll thrive with a patient family who can give him guidance, consistency, and lots of positive experiences. When it comes to other dogs, he does best with a confident, tolerant companion who can give him space while he figures out his social skills.
With the right family, Cowabunga will blossom into the loyal, affectionate sidekick he's meant to be. If you're looking for a spirited, loving pup to join you on life's adventures, Cowabunga might just be the perfect match!

Tune in this afternoon! We are listing to "Hart of Glass" , The first track on the "Best of Blondie" album by Blondie. This best of compilation was originally released on October 31st 1981 and was their first greatest-hits collection.

“Hart of Glass” originally appeared on Blondie’s breakthrough album "Parallel Lines" and was released on September 23, 1978. The song originally started as a 1974–75 funk/reggae demo called “Once I Had a Love”. During the recording the producer Mike Chapman (with Debbie Harry’s love for Donna Summer in mind) directed the band to remake the song into the glossy, electro-disco new wave anthem we know today. Even though the song sounded like it was tailor-made for Studio 54, it flopped in the New York’s disco clubs — but it soared on the pop charts and helped define the new wave era.

"Hart of Glass" was not in the original lyrics of the song it was actually “had a pain in the ass”, It was later swapped for the more radio-friendly “heart of glass”. The original phrase in the song wasn't fully erased though and can heard as the song is coming to an end.
