I recently ordered a CBGG box set from Cherry Red Records called CBGB & OMFUG: A New York City Soundtrack 1975-1986. It's terrific and while I was listening, I pulled out a few other NYC compilations and listened to them as well. One is a Numero compilation Ork Records (060). Another is Watch the Closing Doors: A History of New York's Musical Melting Pot Vol. 1 1945-1959. The set was compiled by music journalist, Kris Needs, and it is incredible. There were supposed to be 6 releases, but I think only Vol. 1 ever came out and that was @ 2012. The final release I pulled and started spinning was a Fania Records compilation - The Latin Sounds of New York: 1964-1978.

Listening to all of those releases I was determined to do another NYC music show on the MIGFS Show. The final inspiration came during a recent visit to see the kids in Brooklyn. It was brutally cold, so Helen and I decided to visit some museums we had never been to while the kids were at work on Friday. We took a trip to the Upper East Side and went to the Museum of the City of New York. Lo and behold one of the temporary exhibits was Songs of New York: 100 Years of Imagining the City Through Music. The exhibit was fun and had lots of interactive features including a massive playlist they had put together.

So that was that - and Monday night (3/2) from 9 - 11 you can hear 2 hours of great tracks that help define the sounds of NYC. Tune in - https://www.wrir.org/listen/. I can only play so much music, but the songs that made the cut are awesome.

I am excited to be hosting Cause and Effect tomorrow for the first time in a while and for the very first time from our new studio. I recently read Rob Miller's The Hours Are Long, But the Pay Is Low -A Curious Life in Independent Music.

Rob was one of the co-founders and owners of Bloodshot Records - the home of Insurgent Country. The book was made for a Cause and Effect show because it is laid out just like one builds a Cause-and-Effect playlist / show. And through Rob's story you know what songs to plug in where!

I have been a big fan of Bloodshot since the beginning. I have always been a fan of country-rock, alt-country, Americana, cowpunk, outlaw country or whatever you want to call the genre. I have been a subscriber to No Depression magazine since they launched and have played Bloodshot artists on my show for the past 18 years.

The book made me a bigger fan and made me wish I had been living in Chicago in the early 90s. Taking in all the neighborhoods, the ethnic food of the day, the dive bars, CW bars with live music, and the beginnings of a music movement - insurgent country that is still popular today.

When I first began volunteering at WRIR - before I even had a show - I took on the role of AAA Music Director. In that role I was responsible to review the AA releases and get the CDs on the shelf (yes it was physical copies still) so DJs had access to new releases. We got great service from our rep at Bloodshot, Joe Swank. He was a great resource and a very knowledgeable rep. Joe has since opened his own agency, Swank Promotions, but he still gives WRIR great service. Buried in tomorrow's show is Joe's Top 5 List. So tune in - get your punk twang on. Cause and Effect tomorrow (Saturday 1/24) from 1-3 on https://www.wrir.org/listen/.
