Comment:

Edition 5 of the "bigstar" alt-country and beyond radio show on Perth community radio station RTR-fm (2 hour show). Got lots of calls last evening, including one from my mother, in Boston - I told her about the show and she listened live, via the net. She said it sounded clearer than listening to the community radio station broadcasting in the next town. Thanks to some fellow Aotm'ers for some tracks, incl. Marty Andersen, for Vulgar Boatmen; Rob Conroy, for Mountain Goats, Posies and Big Star; DJ Salieri, for Beachwood Sparks; and Gerry McDonald, for NRBQ. To listen live, go to www.rtrfm.com.au.

Hey, I'm glad to see you got the VB disk. I always assume stuff I send overseas will get lost in the mail. This, as usual, is excellent. Roger McGuinn--I haven't listened to "Back From Rio" in ages. It's a great album. Nice pick.

I think Kim'll do just fine without me to help him out! But I'll only be gone for a month, so look for the next installment in late July!

Paint - not the same person - joseph arthur is a solo artist (and very much alive,unlike the other Arthur). Glide featured William Arthur, I think.
