WJK Podcast 16: “Don’t Walk Alone”

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:43:18 -0500

If Valentine’s Day and the NBA All-Star festivities didn’t get you excited last week, hopefully you caught the Robot Touch live @ the Psychedelic Shack or even on WUSC Friday night. And if even that didn’t get you excited, well off to the syndicated cable shows for you. In case you missed all that, here’s a little love song penned by Jeremy Carter with music by Why Johnny Kills. It’s not your n

WJK Podcast 11: “Plant Name,” Live @ HoFP X-Mas Party

Concluding our X-Mas trilogy is a very cold live performance at a Christmas Party at the HoFP Gallery here in Columbia. “Plant Name” is a song we don’t do too often anymore as it features some uncommon Johnny instrumentation with Nick playing almost exclusively saxophone, though the guitar and keys sneak in a bit inevitably.

It’s about the frustration of having to drive alongside of folks who drive downtown by themselves in large 10 mpg SUVs. The tide may turn tomorrow and everyone will drive a Prius and downsize their home and America will stop consuming itself

WJK Podcast 13: “Halcyon Years” in ’08 (Let’s Hope For)

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 17:09:05 -0500

A couple days ago a capped tooth of mine came loose. It had been there 13 years. Its removal brought thoughts about what had happened to me while this cap had been in my mouth. Ah those “halcyon years”! The best and worst of your life and la la la. The turn of the calendar brings another leap year ushering us into yet another meaningless US presidential election. Will things change? Can thing
