Baxie talks to guitarist Jim Fairchild from the band Grandaddy.

He’s also the A&R Director of Danger Bird records. Very interesting stuff. Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website.

Baxie welcomes back Jim Skafish! In 1983, Jim’s band, Skafish, presented their second album, “The Conversation” to IRS Records president Miles Copeland. Just two years after promoting Skafish as a groundbreaking genius, IRS rejected 8 of the 11 songs on the record for being too controversial. For the last 40 years Jim Skafish has fought to regain the rights to his own music which had been largely out of print and unavailable since 1985. Jim has not only released his self-titled debut album from 1979, he has just released the entire second album–including all 8 of the songs that were rejected–which can now be heard for the very first time in the reissued entitled “The Conversation & The Rejects”. An incredible story from one of music’s true originals. Available on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website.

Baxie talks to Neil Storey–the former Head of Press for Island Records. Neil has just finished editing the first of a multi-volume series of books entitled “The Island Book of Records: 1959-1968. This is a series that documents the entire musical history of Island Records and its founder Chris Blackwell (featuring every single and every album produced by the company) This was a company that would not only be solely responsible for introducing the world to Reggae, it would soon become the most successful independent record label in history (with a roster that would include Bob Marley, Traffic, Nick Drake, U2, Jimmy Cliff, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Bob Dylan, Def Leppard, Fairport Convention, and hundreds and hundreds more). It’s an amazing story about a revolutionary company that changed music forever. Available on Apple Podcast, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on Rock102.com
