Got an email from Jack Rabid today plugging a new weekly “Rabid in the Kennel” podcast he’s hosting on a site called BreakThru Radio. Rapid’s track record as musician and long-tme editor of the underground music publication The Big Takeover is enough of an incentive to listen, but this particular show features and interview and songs from the mutli-talented Joe Pernice.
Pernice is one of my favorite singers (not sure about his new novel, which I have yet to read) but it’s Rabid’s eclectic playlist that kept pulling me deeper. Pernice’s solo songs and selections from previous bands like the Scud Mountain Boys are supplemented by tracks from The Chameleons, Chris Bell, The Jam, Nakey Raygun, Sebadoh and Nick Drake. Wow.
This is Rabid's third podcast for the site. Previous shows featured interviews with T.V. Smith of The Adverts and The Posies.
