The Paleface Parabola

Show Notes

'Hours are like diamonds – don’t let em waste’. A line from Time Waits For No One, track 5 and Side 1 of the Stones 'It’s Only Rock and Roll' album, released in October 1974. Parabolic sidebar: I bought that record at the bookstore in York College of Pennsylvania I still have it. And Mick was right. These are precious, if chaotic days. And man, does Mick Taylor get in touch with his inner Santana and rip that track a new one!

All that to say this... You won’t find that piece on this week’s tour de farce... But... but you will hear these tasty suckers and they are guaranteed to have you dancing on air if you care to: Mose Allison, Reel Big Fish, The Pogues, Midnight Oil, and the Magictones plus the Mystery Man’s Magic act of the week, because we love radio sight gags.
