Week 16: Toasting Todd Blackwell

Welcome back, everyone. On this, our sixteenth week, we say goodbye to an old friend. Todd Blackwell has been a valuable member of The Away Team since its inception. He's our Data: often navigating, always questioning in an effort to learn what it means to be human. Todd has brought us art in the form of his spoken word segments and early 20th century blues blended with a fair share of Isaac Brock and post modern psychedelia. One of the reasons we've come to expect such care to be taken with DJ selections on The Away Team is the example that's been set for us by Blackwell. Each of his sets are single threads with themes of their own that over these weeks have been woven into a tapestry of self-reflection. Thank you Todd, for your candor, your impeccable taste, and your love, which we share, for all the words.

Our new guest DJ this week was Dom DeCool, certainly lives up to his name. He was groovin' into the dark of night, and trying his best to stump the Team. Not this week, Dom, but we hope you become one of our regulars. You're perfect for us, and you raise our cool quotient by 58%.

Teva Toamy returned with another Week in History, and a set that blew our socks off. She also came up with our Wildcard this week, songs from commercials by relatively unknown bands. Teva, by her mere presence, keeps us on track like no one else. Thank you, Doctor.

Unfortunately, Stiles was unable to record this week's show. He fell asleep and his internet went out. Classic Stiles.

Tune in next week for a brand new guest! And listen for Stiles' very first segment. Thanks for supporting The Away Team with Walter Friendly. Catch us in the airwaves.

Week 10: Le Petit Pauvre

Walter Friendly here. What a show this week! Even Stiles was good! Tonight on The Away Team we had one of my oldest and dearest, Hot Dotty. You can tell a lot about a lady by the songs she picks, and Dotty is a lady who knows where it's at. After Dotty, Darren stepped out from behind the board and outclassicked even himself. He did so well that we gave him the Spotlight!

Three very good friends of the show all have birthdays this weekend, so our Wildcard Set for week 10 is all birthday songs. Of course, this is The Away Team, so no ordinary birthday songs would do. The personalities of our DJs always shine bright, boosted by WPRK's heavy artillery and carried through the air straight into your ear drums. Mmm. That's good birthday.

Teva Toamy returned tonight with another Week in History, but not only that. She also brought a set that had real, honest to goodness roots. Grew roots and stuck right in the ground below the station. It's growin'. I can't wait to see what blooms. It all comes down to that Fleetwood Mac song, I think. That's the taproot that makes for a strong tree.

It's impossible to determine what the best Disney songs are, but on Karlyn's Korner we played at least some of them. Robert and Richard Sherman wrote songs for some of the most memorable films of the 20th century, including The Sword in the Stone, Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Aristocats, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Three of the four songs we played tonight were penned by the Sherman Brothers. The other was a Frank Churchill song from Disney's Dumbo called "When I See an Elephant Fly," the controversial song sung by the crows at the beginning of the third act. I think I see this Disney thing becoming its own segment at some point. You'll have to listen to see.

Stiles played us an operatic song. It was good.

Finally, my favorite part of the show, the Artist Spotlight, was created by our own Darren Credible. Tonight Darren gave us a spotlight on Laura Nyro, a relatively unknown singer/songwriter whose catalog influenced some of the biggest artists around, including Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Schwartz, Alice Cooper, and Jenny Lewis. To learn more about Laura Nyro, just google her, stupid.

A special thanks to Neil Bernard for calling in and requesting what will surely become his theme song, and another happy birthday to Becca Miller, Brittany Wine, and Damian Summers. Since it's been ten whole weeks, I've decided to retire two artists from heavy rotation. Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman, you will be missed. And a warm welcome to Beck. Thanks again for listening to The Away Team on WPRK 91.5FM, the voice of Rollins College, and the best in basement radio.

Week 09: The Rescue Block

Welcome back, everybody! This week, The Away Team was absolutely on the ball from start to finish...except for Stiles. We played a brilliant wildcard set devoted to historical and literary songs. Todd regaled us with tales of personal strength, and Darren played us the most classic set we've yet heard on Away Team Radio. Teva Toamy returned with another Week in History segment that nourished our brains, while the songs she played in her Medical Log nourished our hearts. Then for Karlyn's Korner, the night finally belonged to the 80's before it was wrestled away by an ultra rare track off the Hoodwinked soundtrack and a Stephen Lynch favorite. After that, we spent the extra time mourning in the morning before I dried my eyes and delivered an exceptional Spotlight on experimental psychadelic band Can. Ask any band with even slight experimental leanings to name their influences, and Can will be near the top of their list.
A little on Can

Special thanks to Damian Summers, Brenna Warner, Marcellis Cutler, and Annarose Krone for staying up with us at home, and a tarnished, dented thanks to Stiles for saying fuck. Tune in next week for an Away Team first (and last): Psychobilly Night with Michelle Elise!
