Did you miss me? Well I certainly missed you! You see, Tuesday Night Diner was preempted last week, and for a very good cause—a live event! It was a gig—several bands on the bill—to protest the BBC shutting down BBC6 radio. Although the politics of this escape me—a good radio station being shut down, and perhaps a lousy one being put up in its place—that sort of thing could never happen here in America (okay—attempting to pull tongue out of cheek now)--live, unadulterated radio, beaming across the globe is a beautiful thing. I was happy to make way for this Recharged Radio event.
But that was then, and this is now. Your very own personal Chef Mike is back to reclaim my spot on the air, and I`ve got a stellar lineup of music for you.
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Beth Thornley put out a stunning album this year called Wash U Clean. Melodic, mostly piano-driven tunes that stay with you long after you turn off your music player—seriously, I`ve gone for long walks with Beth`s tunes playing in my head! The album was carefully crafted by producer Rob Cairns. But did you know that Beth is aspiring to be an etymologist? Well, perhaps not really—etymology is the study of words and their origins. But some etymologist is going to be studying a phrase that Beth coined in the track that we`ll be playing on this week`s show.

Time for some hometown pride. Yes indeed, a couple of acts originally from Northern California are going to be performing live next Monday, May 17th, at our home base of Maple St. Studios in London. Former Sacramentan Anton Barbeau, who`s something of a legend around these parts, now lives in the UK. He`ll be bringing his quirky, good-natured brand of Robyn Hitchcock-influenced tunes to our flagship studios. (For an advance, check out the “Ant `N Al” edition of Tuesday Night Diner on the Listen Again player on the home page of www.rechargedradio.com.) We`ll hear one of the tracks off of his current album, Plastic Guitar.

Half of the San Francisco-based Corner Laughers—Karla Kane and Khoi Huynh, are touring the UK, and will also be at Maple St. that night. For those of you not yet in the know, their current album Ultraviolet Garden is a standout in the bumper crop of excellent albums I`ve received this year (sorry, everybody else!). Who else but the Laughers could create intellectual, quirky, bouncy and moody alternative pop tunes armed with nothing but guitar, bass, drums, and ukulele! Oh yeah, and their perfect girl-pop harmonies and gift for clever lyrics. We`ll hear a representative track off of Ultraviolet Garden.
