Green Beans, Mushroom Soup, & Strawberry Ice Cream_with your host Marc Gladstone

Who refuses a knighthood?! Returning with this series for another amazingly deserving ICON… David Bowie had a career spanning more than 50 years and changed continually… his music, his appearance, even his name! Follow me through the early years (first 10 albums) in his career… through Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Hallowe’en Jack… no one has done what this incredible artist achieved, before or since… plus one BreakOut West feature… #davidbowie #dearrouge #breakoutwest2018 #ziggystardust #aladdinsane #majortom #halloweenjack #pnwr @dearrouge @breakoutwest Support the show.

A Hall of Fame Award is a pretty big deal. Each year, one recipient in the host province for Breakout West is chosen… and this year it’s The Grapes of Wrath. This entire show is devoted to them. As deserving a BC band as there ever was. With some amazing hits like, “All the Things I Wasn’t”, “I Am Here”, “You May Be Right” and “Peace of Mind”... it’s about time! @thegrapesowrath @kevinkane @tomhooper @chrishooper @ vincentjones @donnyboyd @breakoutwest #grapesofwrath #kevinkane #tomhooper #chrishooper #vincentjones #donnyboyd #breakoutwest2018   Support the show.

Okay kids... this is the big one! This episode I interview Alfie Zappacosta! He has an upcoming show at Blue Frog Studios in White Rock (September 20th) - we'll talk about that, what he's doing in the near future, his documentary special on CBC and I'll play some of my personal favourites from him. If you're familiar with Zappacosta, then you already know you need to listen to this show... if you're not familiar, then you REALLY need to listen. One of the richest, strongest voices in Canada! Some great playing too, on these tunes... check it out. I'll also be featuring one of the nominees for Recording of the Year at this year's @BreakOutWest. www.pacificnorthwestradio.com #Beakoutwest2018 #kacyandclayton#zappacosta#pnwr #Kacy&Clayton #AlfieZappacosta Support the show.

Support the show.

Join me as I wander through Led Zeppelin’s first 4 albums on this show… part 1 of 2… Led Zeppelin released 8 studio albums during their short 11 dominance on this earth… only 11 years, but wow! what an 11 years it was! The first to mix blues and hard-edged rock and they did it with style! Singers are still trying to emulate Robert Plant and few can come close to Jimmy Page’s productive genius...   www.pcaificnorthwestradio.com Support the show.

All brand new music… all released in the past 3 months… if you’re wondering what’s out there, check this out! A Perfect Circle with a brand new album - the first in 14 long years!

Not a songwriting course at all really; more like some amazing examples of what really makes a song work… what makes music, music… there’s lots of actual songwriting classes out there - this is looking at the intangibles… the emotion, expression, “the feels” if you want, the delivery… this will be a continuing series focusing on different aspects of what makes that song a great song… this one - Special Delivery, deals with the performance of (usually) the vocalist and their ability to make you feel what they’re singing… brilliant stuff here by Sixx AM, Keane, Pink, Jack White, Blue October, Tower of Power… tons more... www.pacificnorthwestradio.com Support the show.

The second HEAD album was released on April 28th, 2018… “Dear Father” is the continuation of Alberta’s story; it delves deeper into her childhood and shows how that upbringing resulted in her messed up adult life… HEAD’s songwriting has evolved even more with this new album… strong performances from Lyric here… “I keep your picture dear father… oh you’re right inside my head… every tear you bled… I wish you were dead”... not for the faint of heart, but definitely one of 2018’s best albums! www.pacificnorthwestradio.com Support the show.
