On Tuesday morning, Marty McSorley welcomes Brooklyn's Starring to his program for a live set. The post-prog-punk band, whose full-length Wife of God came out on Death By Audio Records last year, have a huge sound that combines Farfisa, flute, and viola with hard-rock guitar and driving bass lines. Whoa. Listen on 1/18, from 6 to 9 AM (web-only).

Thanks to you, me, and all the others who voted for it, WFMU's Rock & Soul Ichiban web stream has won 1st place in the "Greatest Hits station in new platforms" in the Ross On Radio Readers' Poll over at Radio-Info. Congrats to tireless curator Debbie D.! If you've never listened to this 24-hour stream, which offers an embarrassment of obscure noisy, sock-hoppy rock-n-roll riches, why not start immediately? This is the Ichiban blog and it has a player embedded in it, etc. etc.
