You may have heard that America has been living in interesting times the last 10 days. Now that I wrote that, we’ve lived in interesting times for the last 10 years! Thus and so, the Mystery Man and I have made an attempt to keep it at 100 and bring interesting to the seven seas live on the Free FM / NZ Media Access first, and by the magic of a trip to podcastville for the rest of yas! I’m testing my instant recall now and noting that the Mystery Man earned his gold star on this episode and I

What did whiz past was our programme, Caper 136 of the Paleface Parabola. The last three shows seemed to and we’re trying to suss out why. So meanwhile, I’m still thinking like Little Queenie’s fella. So while I think about these matters of great social and political import, we strongly urge that you laugh and cry and cry some more to the sounds of the

So it’s come to this again has it? Well,let’s sink to the occasion then.This programme is precious cargo to the Mystery Man and I. It’s the equivalent of a cold glass of joy on a 100 degree day. Which it is here in New J as my alter ego One Draft Jones is quick to remind me. As if we needed it. Hot damn it’s hot. The world keeps turning while we keep basting. Santa, is it December 24th yet and Arctically cold yet? His response? A hard no. Thus and So, it seems that the solution to sweat and steam

Fireworks? Phooey! You want combustible? There’s crash, boom and bang to be had on this week’s tour de farce aplenty, no matter a Supreme Court ruling or three that hijacks the foundational core of American ideals – not that 250 year old documents couldn’t stand for a tweak or two. Like reforming Supreme Court lifetime terms! I wouldn’t have printed that but it seems to me that blanket immunity from legal repercussions seems to be the new law of the land.And if you got your hackles up about

The Mystery Man’s dog ate his homework, flushed his keys down the toilet, and gave him the heebie jeebies this week. Thus and so, I was left to pull out all the stops on my onesie.I had no choice to call in the mercenaries, consisting of Brasuka, Gary US Bonds and the Church Street 5, Wild Bill Davis, John Cale, Norah Jones, and Blakey/the Jazz Messengers, to step into the void. And there are more rich blessings of music when you might have given up all hope of a glory bound future. Stir in the

Caper 132. It’s a special moment in the confusing and continuing saga of the Mystery Man and me. We would ride into your town to speak to you personally about this but we’d have to skip New Delhi because the temperature is just too damn hot there, and we are getting low on the fresh horses and whiskey rations we bring when we ride into town. What we can state with sureshot confidence is that Free FM is a Rock and Roll refuge away from a world off its wheels and we talk, sing, goof around and play

Having a forum to mouth off and play music that spans 100 years over a two-hour opportunity to get it right is a rich blessing I’ll strive to never take for granted. At least that’s my mindset as we unfurl caper 129 (or 130 because I can’t remember how many at the moment of this writing). Our Facebook page for this programme reveals how you can listen. The why of why you should try to listen to the Paleface Parabola is music presented differently and unbound by playlist or algorithm. This is oaf

Caper 129: You’ve tried the rest... Now try our radio razzle dazzle. We sound better in the dark so you can’t see our faces. Rock and Roll, whether it’s then or now, has always sounded better to us when the sun goes down and the fun starts flowing. And feel no fret, we’ve got more fun than a fizzy drink this week. Go on you say? We will if you demand so, but then you’ll be your own joyrobber, missing out on the halcyon sounds of Elvis Costello and the Attractions, a filler of stadiums covering The

Caper 126. Your attendance at our fray is a gray area. While we’d prefer that it’s mandatory, we can’t be everywhere and nowhere at all at the same time we remind you. Our vision that we’d have a Milky Way galaxy of converts to our quirkology may have been (appears to be) unrealistic. But if you are laboring under the mistaken notion that our presence in the post position of the Free FM music zone on 89.0 out of Hamilton, NZ, you were led astray by an enemy of volunteer radio.Live, Wednesdays at

A Brian Eno quote that I heard from Annie Clark (aka St Vincent): Music is a car that you can crash over and over again and walk away safely. We can certainly apply that notion to this week’s Paleface Parabola radio razzmatazz. It’s caper 124, a show like any of the previous 123 but for the fact that while we have an established template for the programme, no two shows are musically the same and the likelihood of a radio/audio car crash, because we prefer performing live without a net and I

Sparks being a prime suspect above how if you live long enough, a quintessential cult band becomes viable in their late 70s.Also in the bright white spotlight of musical joy this week is the Mystery Man’s pick to click of the week, Planxty, and extra special mentions of the likes of The Lamplighters, solo Alex Chilton, new Dion music, and enough

The beyond excellent Ricardo - ex-superstar of Free FM’s The Outer Limits Frequentcy - is tall in the saddle for this one-week return to our safe haven for rogue elements of society. Like him! Like us! Ricardo has a great sense of humor, skills with his pen, and top notch with his music choices.

Caper 118 of our two-hour sprint across New Zealand’s radio landscape has more hot air than the rising methane levels on the third rock from the sun, as well as a baker’s dozen of music selections that can have a positive impact on your ears. The Mystery Man’s pick of the week is by the Irish band Kila and we cheerfully are of the opinion that it’s more fun than a rebuttal speech by Senator Katie Britt – though I prefer
