“Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized”.  Rajneesh

I try each week to bring you unique songs that reflect the depth of our lives. Doesn’t matter the year or style.  That timeless gift of insight in 3:20 minutes with a cold ending.  Davis is the same as Dylan.  Doc Watson or Jade Warrior.  African or German or San Francisco or Bali.  We take music with us.  Genetic.

Previous no crap is rebroadcast every tuesday 9pm.  Lots o’ fun!

I used to have a news segment in my shows.  Nope, no more.  Realities have finally caught up with my speculations. I hope the robots save us.

Hope you’ve enjoyed the mix so far. Tonight a genius woman named Natalie, tonight a genius woman named Nico, the true cost of wars no end, some real glam from a dinosaur and a wicked cure cover to kick it off.

-Chamberlayne’s Pharonnida

This weeks movie recommendation. Children of men.  What if time.  Catch the allegory in the movie when  she disrobes and we see she is very pregnant.  She is in a barn surrounded by animals.  A compelling Jesus reference.  It shows what happens when the births stop.  Just stop.  Hope is lost.

NO CRAP RADIO VER. 1.03 Reblast TUE. 9PM

Hiya.  Welcome to the reblast!

I’m back.

More scars but earned with honour.

Still standing.

Meaner than yesterday.

no crap radio survives in new versions.  i’ve spent the last dozen years collecting music.

you’re going to hear lots of it.  the amazing legacy that brilliant people have given us astounds me.  

i’ve been playing music for 45 years and still find new genius in sometimes the simplest melody.

An unbroken language that has defined our humanness.  The brilliance of a trumpet player in the 1930’s can be as inspired as a folk singer from the 60s or a dub artist of the 2000s.

I’m running everyday as I have heard Buddha is just over the next hill and I want to walk in his shadow.  I earned the karma.

Not yet an ex hippie.

This weeks recommended site.  http://www.wisdomofchopra.com

“The fear of death is more to be feared than death itself.”  Publius Syrus   a roman slave

Every week I promise you music you’ve never heard before along with lots of good stuff from 100 years of recorded sound.   To me thelonious monk is the same as moby who’s the same as dylan who’s the same as prince.  So… jazz, dub, folk, ambient, ska, punk, reggae and more styles than you’ve ever heard. music that mirrors it’s time.

So Old It’s New

(B&W photo of Karlo Berkovich)This is Bald Boy. I host a classic rock album cuts show — So Old It’s New. The show’s premise: Old bands, old tracks, old bands, their new tracks if they’re still releasing music. Mostly 1960s and 70s stuff, the era in which I grew up. But I’ll go with 80s, 90s, 2000s as well – Guns ‘N Roses, The Cult, Wolfmother, REM, you name it.  Prog and (70s) punk, too. Or whatever else strikes my fancy.

And I’ll play the occasional single you likely have not heard on commercial rock radio in many a moon, which is what prompted this show – my frustration with commercial rock radio not going beyond the same repetitive fare from the Stones, Zep, Purple and the like.

So with me, you’ll get the Stones’ Fingerprint File, not Start Me Up. You’ll get Zep’s Achilles Last Stand, not Stairway To Heaven.  I publish all my set lists here and also on Facebook (search for Bald Boy) and Twitter (Karlo Berkovich), including song clips.

So Old It’s New airs Mondays from 8:00pm to 10:00pm with a replay on Saturday from 8:00am to 10:00am.

So Old It’s New #2

On Saturdays from 8:00am to 10:00am Bald Boy plays the music that didn’t fit in the Monday timeslot! Full album plays, metal and hard rock, or going full bore with a reggae show, or a punk rock/new wave show…
