Hosting the Sand in Your Head has been one of the most compelling adventures of my life so far. Thanks so much to cfrc and Queen's for providing me with the opportunity. And thank you for listening and reading this blog. But for a move out of the city, I would gladly continue the enterprise.
On this final show I tried to fit in as much of my defining musical influences as possible. Beginning with Van Halen in the iconic year/album 1984. I went from party metal to shoegaze in the 1990's with Jesus and Mary Chain, keeping some of the fun alive with George Clinton-produced Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They Might Be Giants has been a constant fixture in my taste as they alone seem to posses the variety and nonsensical attitude that best matches my interest. Pixies became the greatest thing ever for me a few years post-break-up. Jobim and Brazillian samba kept me sane during the grunge era, as did the Ramones. The Ramones are simply rock and roll perfected.
Recent years have reinvigorated my interest in current music thanks to the legacy of folks like Eno and Flower Travellin' band. Wish I could have fit in some current psyche and dronzge music like White Hills, Oneida, Plastic Crimewave Sound and Wooden Shjips, but alas, 60 minutes.
Thanks for coming on the ride, and watch out for the Robocopolypse!
