I’m very happy to be able to post this full one hour radio show recorded 7/19/2023 from 9 – 10p on WFUV. I’ve always been a huge fan of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965–1968 so it was a blast as well as an honor to have the man who created it, Lenny Kaye, come in and co-host an hour with me on-air. In addition to his adorable dog Sylvie, Lenny brought the 50th anniversary 5 LP set unleashed earlier this year for Record Store Day. We played some tunes from the original compilation as well as the planned but – until recently unreleased Vol. 2, and a bonus disc of songs that were considered for the original set but not included for one reason or another. Lenny spoke about the circumstances surrounding his curation, offered tidbits about a handful of songs and artists, and revealed details about the upcoming Golden Jubilee shows at City Winery.
