PROGRAM 36: LOST EPISODE #2, GOODBYE TO KEVIN AYERS [02.21.13]
There were atrocious sound problems with this show, and much of it had to be completely reconstructed from the library. The only unaffected parts were the mic sets, and I found those especially obnox…

PROGRAM 35: LOST EPISODE #1, A GRAND MESS [02.07.13]
For some reason I was unhappy with this program and never assembled it into a podcast. Probably because it's a disorganized, unplanned mess. Enjoy! Download | Podcast Bold text indicates relatively n…

PROGRAM 39: AM I TOO LATE FOR RECORD STORE DAY? [05.02.13]
Or as we old birds call it: eBay Eve! paDOW! (I'm pretty sure I'm stealing that joke from someone, possibly even a music writer I've met. Lars? Christopher R.W.?) Grouse is low on planning time these…

PROGRAM 38: DO THE DADA MAMBO! [04.18.13]
Rakete bee bee, grouseketeers. Sorry it's taken me a week to post this. Show is also 30 minutes shorter than usual because of punctuality issues. Probably for the best. Mostly jazz, international sou…

PROGRAM 37: TALK ME OFF THE LEDGE, GROUSE [04.04.13]
I did two terrible shows in February that are possibly permanently stuck in the podcast queue (programs 35 and 36). They contributed to a general loss of élan for the show and for Radio CPR in the mo…

PROGRAM 34: SNOW & SOCA [1.17.13]
Snow was in the forecast when I did this show more than two weeks ago, but it never came. We've seen 70 degree days since then, but as if in direct challenge of the will of the God of Punxatawney, it…

SPECIAL PROGRAM 5: NEW YEARS EVE WITH THE LADY KATIE [12.31.12]
The Lady Katie joins the Mighty Grouse for an hour on the annual Radio CPR New Year's Eve Marathon. I think we showed up a little early for the party. Download | Podcast Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers - …

PROGRAM 33: THIS WORLD OVER / ENDLESS WALTZ [12.20.12]
All day I had the words "this world over" floating in my head, and only after doing this show did I remember that's a song title on my least favorite XTC record.* So it was left out of this impromptu…

PROGRAM 32: LEFTOVERS TASTIER THAN THE ORIGINAL MEAL [12.06.12]
I feel like we haven't done a show this... stable?... in more than 6 months. Planning is caring, for my own sanity and for the ears of the discerning radio listener. The seed of this show was leftove…

PROGRAM 31: STALLING INTO THE ABYSS [11.29.12]
Radio CPR is broadcasting beyond its own backyard for the first time in the life of Experiencing a Significant Gravitas Shortfall, and the Grouse, as you might expect, crumbles under the pressure. La…

PROGRAM 30: BACHMAN LOVEJONES OVERDRIVE [11.15.12]
Nearly every Thursday that I do this show, I bring a copy of something by Daniel Bachman to the studio in my bag of records, tapes, CDs and other tricks. Yet somehow, I've only played him once in the…

PROGRAM 29: VOTE FOR GROUSE!: OR, SAINTS AND SANDIES COMING TOGETHER [11.01.12]
Election day is almost here, much of the East coast is under water, and Halloween has come and gone without the Mighty Grouse making you listen to 15 versions of the Monster Mash. You come to us for …

PROGRAM 28: A NEAR-OPEN FRONT, OR: THE SOUND OF THE WILD, YOUNG GROUSE [10.18.12]
A sentence begun and interrupted on 10.04.12 is finished (and slightly restated) in this program. Seeking proposals for anti-radio stunts to close out 2012. Please phone (READ-GROUSE on the dial) or …

PROGRAM 27: OSCILLATORS, COSMIC SING-A-LONGS & BASEBALL [10.04.12]
Back on the air in our regular format of totally batshit disorganization. We've got baseball, we've got tape noise, we've got plinky indie rock and skronky horns. And it's all tied together with a ta…

SPECIAL PROGRAM 4: FILLING IN FOR DJ86 [09.27.12]
DJ 86 and I decided to trade 3rd and 4th Thursdays this month. While it is not required by 86 or the station in anyway, I like to treat fill-in shows as a chance to cater to a different programming a…

PROGRAM 26.2: GROUSATORIO, A FREEFORM CIRCUS ON A SIGNIFICANT GRAVITAS SHORTFALL [09.06.12]
From Kollywood and Bollywood to a calypso boogaloo, with some artier stops in between, this hour long sojourn tries to make amends to everyone who tuned out on the first hour. But you're still gonna …

PROGRAM 26.1: GROUSATORIO, A FREEFORM CIRCUS ON A SIGNIFICANT GRAVITAS SHORTFALL [09.06.12]
On the spur of the moment, I decided that EASGS would unofficially take part in the John Cage Centennial Festival by airing Cage's ROARATORIO in its entirety. I swear it isn't because I forgot to pla…

PROGRAM 25: SLEEPING THROUGH AUGUST [08.30.12]
The dreaded fifth Thursday of the month, when all ideas run dry! Join the Mighty Grouse for songs long and short, and much much longer. Quiet and loud. Serious and not. Skronk and pop. I'm out of thi…

PROGRAM 24: BEATING A DEAD HORSE; A VISIT FROM LADY KATIE [08.16.12]
The City of New Orleans is at risk of washing away for the second time in ten years, so EASGS presents a set of New Orleans music as tribute in this podcast, curated by the Lady Katie (though this sh…
