that live community radio thing

Hi - Rob here again with All Over The Place on HomeGrownRadioNJ.org, the Internet radio show that's a musical education in three hours or less. Why do I post it here? Good question - wish I had an answer. Just felt it was my job to entertain you as you surfed the web. AOTP runs from 7 pm to 10 pm EST, in other words, right about now. Click on "listen live" to, you know, listen. Live.

About HomeGrownRadioNJ.org - it's a small community-based Internet radio operation located in Blairstown, NJ. We've been around for over 3 years and we just got our nonprofit status (hence the .org). HGRNJ DJs will play anything and everything!

Drop a comment in if you have a musical request. I've got a 320 GB hard drive and I'm not afraid to use it.

Go here to tune in.

Updates below.

6.45 pm - In the leadoff sopt at 7 pm, Kathleen Edwards's new album Asking for flowers. We begin with "Oil man's war". AOTP gets topical, for once.

7 pm - Some technopop/modern type stuff - John Foxx, Flowchart, Death Cab For Cutie, ELectric Soft Parade and Chocolate Genius...

7.30 pm - Some recent eMusic acquisitions - Erin McKeown, The Weepies, Ron Sexsmith, Japancakes and other obscurities...

7.50 pm - 2 requests. A new record! More familiar stuff on the way - Billy Bragg, Ryan Adams, Robert Palmer, Tift Merritt (new!) and Marianne Faithfull

8.25 pm - some '60s and '70s by request, sort of. For Steve in L.A. who just called up out of the blue. LEft Banke, Hollies, Grass Roots, Doobie Bros., Herman's Hermits, Temptations.

8.50 pm - more technopop old and new - So, MGMT, a-ha, Hot Chip and more to follow! Good response tonight, much better than the usual crickets.

1 hour to go - Switchfoot, Lifehouse, Genesis and The Ocean Blue all on the laptop and playing for you.

•  Hey Rob..big fan of community radio here

  I live on Cape Cod and listen to--and support--WOMR, "Outermost Radio", which is celebrating its 26th year as a community-run radio station.

  In an era when radio is run by corporate interests, it's great to see--actually "hear"---independent broadcasters!

  I'll tune in on the net.

  And..just for fun..I'll throw in a request: "Don't Do It" by the Band.

  It's ok if you don't have it.

•  Listening now

  Very nice.

  How about Woman off of John Cale's Black Acetate. Supposedly written about Lou Reed. My wife and I are going to see Lou next month at the 9:30 Club in DC

  •  don't have that

    I'm light on Cale - but I will play some VU (What goes on). Thanks!

    •  Love VU

      Thanks. I love what I'm hearing. I have an emusic account as well. Picked up Daevid Allen's University of Errors off of it. VU just came on as I type.

•  You ever listen to Jihad Jerry and the Evildoers

  It's Gerry Casale's band from Devo. Very cool. Bobdevo (Bob Lewis) who blogs here on DKOS was originally in Devo and some of the songs on the Jihad Jerry album were songs written by him in the 70's.

  •  I do have that

    PLayed a song from it last year - don't remember the title but there was a lyric - "what happens in Abu Ghraib/Stays in Abu Ghraib". Sad and funny at the same time.

    Me = Big-time Devo fan - saw 'em in Albany in '81.

    •  It's a damn good album

      Danger is my favorite song from it. The song If the Shoe Fits was written about GW

      Got any Gordon Lighfoot. Canadian Railroad Trilogy is my favorite by him. Quite a song.

•  Greetings Rob. Link needs fixin'

  I found the link from previous visits so I am listening now. But the links above need correcting.
  Thanks for another evening of home grown. I have always been a fan of home grown.
