CLA Radio 10/12/12: Empty Chair II

  The upcoming ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 10/12, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be a follow-up to last week’s Empty Chair Edition, subtitled Unchained Narrative. But not to worry, I won’t subject you to aggravating soundbites from the Anointed One. The show will be more of an impressionistic, Americana-laden response to The Empty Chair. Hope you can join us in chat during the show! Spoiler set list: Jon David: American Heart Alison Krauss & Union Station: Rain Please Go Away Johnny Cash: Ragged Old Flag Tom Petty: American Girl Chuck Berry: Back In The...

CLA Radio 10/05/12: Empty Chair Edition

    The upcoming ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 10/5, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) is all about the Empty Chair. I won’t be doing between-song announcements per usual; there will be a lot of between-song sound clips instead. Also, a very special guest will be doing the introduction to the show! If you haven’t yet heard ConservativeLA Radio, this is the time to tune in. Roger Ebert says: “Should be epic Friday night. Can’t wait. Well played, sir.” Well, that wasn’t actually Roger Ebert who said that, it was Duane–but Duane has a lot better...

ConservativeLA Radio 9/28/12

  The upcoming ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 9/28, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be comprised of songs by, about or otherwise concerning No Depression. No Depression was a fine music magazine, now defunct, that focused on (per the magazine’s motto) “Alt-country, whatever that is.” No Depression is also a genre designation more or less consistent with the aforementioned motto. The term No Depression harkens back to an old Carter Family song. Artists featured on Friday’s show have graced the cover of No Depression over time, primarily during the first half of the magazine’s run....

ConservativeLA Radio 9/21/12

  The upcoming ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 9/21, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be comprised of songs by, about or otherwise concerning Duane’s Big Adventure. I asked a bunch of Tribbles to contribute song ideas and other material, and they definitely came through. The only bad part is, a lot of suggestions were left on the proverbial cutting room floor, what with trying to shoehorn them all into a two-hour show. Apologies for any submissions that were left out due to time constraints. Shout-outs to Tami, Breck, Pete, Scott, Frank, Warren, Del, Chuck, Carl–and...

ConservativeLA Radio 9/14/12

  Howdy, Tribbles! Michael Patrick Tracy here, AKA ConservativeLA (my Twitter handle). After hearing His Hughness give an on-air shout-out to Tribble News, I thought I’d ride Tami’s perky coattails and start posting set lists for ConservativeLA Radio here, going forward. What is ConservativeLA Radio? Why thank you for asking! Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson was kind enough to ask me awhile back if I wanted to do a bit of music programming on Duane FM in the Hughniverse. We settled on a two-hour show, once a week, on Friday nights (7:00 Pacific, 10:00 Eastern). Hijinks ensued. Speaking of Generalissimo, the...
