Eden's Hour Radio

Due to technical difficulties this show did not air at its original time. It will broadcast tonight at 9pm CDT.

For the love of Patty Duke, I'll lbe featuring some songs from the Patty Duke Fanzine compilation. Alongside the flashback there will be good things old and new ...very new to me any way. Like Yacht, Jona Bechtolt's one-man band formerly musically paired with talented Khaela Maricich of the Blow  read more »

Tune in Saturday evening for an in-Studio performance and interview with singer-songwriter Dennis Driscoll, K Records alumni and founder of Egg Recordings. Dennis is a quirky and lovable storyteller and artist and will share some poems and a few spanking new songs.

Saturday night at 9pm you'll find me with my hand in the Harry Candy jar ...reaching for a couple songs from the latest Ball of Wax compilation. In other words, you will be served a dessert buffet as diverse as the 35 Seattle and New York musicians that were randomly selected to write songs together within a 24 hour period to create the 11th volume of Ball of Wax. The results are tasty.

Save room for second dessert! There's more goodness to be had in this hour of Eden's.

Jason Webley by Erin SkipperJason Webley joins Eden's Hour for a special in-studio interview and live performance. While he may be sans orchestra for this interview, we can expect nothing less than fantastic from this energetic one man band.

Jason was supposed to be launching a tour with his long-time friend and musical comrade Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls. However due to Amanda's need to get surgery, the shows were cancelled unexpectedly. Sad for the artists and the many people who had already purchased tickets to the much anticipated shows, but lucky for us because he had time to share with us his awesome gypsy and punk inspired folk music. And we also get a chance to pry a bit into his personal desire to seduce Leonard Cohen. Do I smell a collaboration? We can hope so...

Tonight I'll be visiting the exciting musical territories of bands such as Apples in Stereo, Beirut, and a few songs from the hypnotic folk/punk trio the Cave Singers.
Catch these treats and more ...in alphabetical order of course!

"I guess I got whacked hard in the mystery department when I was little. I found the world completely and totally fascinating then - it was like a dream." ~David Lynch

The fascinating and dream like way in which David Lynch sees the world has been infused into his unique body of creative work during his 62 prolific years. With David Lynch's birthday coming up this Sunday I decided this week's show would be the perfect time to play some songs from a compilation cd that I put together a couple years ago as a birthday present for David. Tune in Saturday night at 9pm!  read more »

This week brings you international bands such as Germany's Olaf Boqwist & trip-hop duo NeoQi, and French electro-pop cuties, the Underwires (and I am not talking about the annoying piece of lingerie that jabs into your sides).The core members of Underwires are twin brothers Aurélien and Théophile & co. whom are currently based in Berlin and I am pleased as punch that they sent me their cd. I will also be featuring Austin based Ghostland Observatory and their muse Daft Punk. Of course, I haven't overlooked the west coast ...how about a bit of Portland's Childhood Friends and a sampling of the effervescent & elusive music of California chanteuse Benett? Hmmm... tune in to find out why I should have taken the advice of her song's title "Don't Mention Disco".  read more »
