The Ledge #512: Drop That Needle


When Malibu Lou sent me an advance of the new Dogmatics single, "Drop That Single", I knew I had to create something special to highlight it's debut on The Ledge. After all, I've been a fan of the band since I first discovered their Homestead Records' releases while DJ'ing on KAUR way back in the mid-80's. 

Given that the tune celebrates one of my favorite passions, playing records, it seemed natrual to create a show dedicated to my favorite physical format. So tonight's broadcast is all about records, and not just the format itself. There are tunes about record stores, record thieves, record collectors, turntables, needles. 

I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or
