The Battle of the Band Sells Out

This week we are presenting our (unofficially annual) airing of the first side of The Who Sell Out, faux commercials and all. We also have a 1967 set that includes a track that isn’t from 1967 (oops) and, to start things off, a Beatles vs. Stones set.

The Wax Museum at 12 p.m.

Rick Ronson, Deep Undercover

Deep Undercover sets examine the entire body of work of the artists. From recordings under their own name through session work, songwriting and record production.

Rockin’ in the Days of Confusion at 2 p.m.

This week, after staring off on an eerily appropriate note from David Bowie’s 1970 LP The Man Who Sold The World, we present a series of tracks that take us from 1968 to 1977, one year at a time. Since that still only makes eleven, we tack on two more tunes to bring the total up to 13 for the second consecutive show. Playlist

Audio Aftermath at 3 p.m.

In the first hour, we’ll hear Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Roxy Music, The Steve Miller Band, The Grateful Dead, and a song from a band who opened for some major acts, but never seemed to catch fire themselves.

In the second hour, we’ll hear Donovan, David Bowie, Aum, Matthew Fisher, Mount Rushmore, and the very strange coincidence in Pink Floyd’s Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Rick Steves’ Europe at 5 p.m.

It’s no coincidence that South Korea has become an economic powerhouse, and a pop culture leader for much of the world. On the next Travel with Rick Steves, author Euny Hong explains how South Korea has made itself into one of the world’s “coolest countries.”

And guides from Portugal join Rick with recommendations for planning a week’s getaway to Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve, and the colorful and historic towns in between.
