On Thursday (11/11) during the 3p - 4p hour (Eastern Time), the show “Talk of the Nation” will be focused on “Lost In The Grooves” and will essentially be an interview with the editors, Kim Cooper and David Smay. Big news, cuz I wrote in the book. As you may or may not know, this is a call-in program. How amazing would it be if someone called in and said, “Andrew Earles’ love letter to the first Thin Lizzy album really moved me to finally check out their non-hit material” or “I’m a huge Scott Walker fan, and Andrew Earles’ comparison of Walker to Andy Kim’s late-60’s orchestrated pop has given me a new obsession” or “I would have never thought to pull a Supreme Dicks or V-3 CD out of the cutout bin had it not been for Andrew Earles’ futile affinity for 90’s footnotes.” ??????? Ok, that would be badass for me, not you. “Comparing Scott Walker to Andy Kim makes no sense,” or what about “Earles’ is giving Bob Lind a little too much credit,” or “his entry for the second Brick album reads exactly like his entry for the first Television Personalities album which is identical to his writings on the second Only Ones album…this guy needs some new material!” TUNE IN CALL IN
