It’s Mudcrutch Monday and We Have Live Janis Later On, November 16, 2020

Good Morning, Gang! It’s another Monday from The Mermaid Lounge, and we intend to make it count today.

I just love this photo. No significance here other than the fact that it’s Mudcrutch and The Shelters (whom Tom Petty was mentoring) and it was sold out.

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. Mudcrutch Madness! The Complete Catalogue.

All the Mudcrutch that you can possibly play (except for live bootlegs which will be coming). Did you know that Don’t Do Me Like That was originally a Mudcrutch song? We’ve also got the definitive live version here of Hungry No More, recorded at Boston’s House of Blues in 2016.

Afternoon Open Stream with Three-in-a-Row

Whatever the stream collects as it flows is what we’ll be playing for the afternoon. Listen for some 3’s from Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, and Steely Dan.

6:00 p.m. Janis Joplin Live at The Fillmore East, New York, February 12, 1969

We’ve got some live Janis going here, and that is always a treat for sure.

This is the day to tune us in. Every day is the day to tune us in. Ask the folks in Lithuania. They love us.

And, trust me, you’re going to love this two-hour Wilbury spectacular.

Here’s Wednesday’s line-up!

24/7 Daily (Mostly) Open Stream

Like we do every single day, we’re streaming more than 26,000 songs for you. No charge. No credit card. No registration. No advertising. No interruption. And no politicians.

By the way, all the details on what you will be hearing is under the Playlist tab of this blog. Just scroll to the bottom!

If you’re a Traveling Wilburys fan (and who isn’t?) this is a night you won’t want to miss. So, why not tune us in.? I mean, you have absolutely nothing to lose except those radio stations whose DJ’s just can’t shut the fuck up.

Our New Album of The Week, The ‘House’ Playlist, and Open Stream Evening on Sunday, November 8, 2020

Happy Sunday, Music Lovers! We are looking at another 70-degree day here in the Boston area, windows open in November, and great music flowing out freely!

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers back in 1977

Here’s your Sunday Funday line-up:

11:00 a.m. Album of The Week: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Debut Album NEW!

Mr. Petty & The Heartbreakers are back. Their debut album was released 44 years ago tomorrow, on November 9, 1976. The boys weren’t an “instant” hit. In fact, it finally happened when somebody said to them about American Girl, “They’re playing it up in Boston!” The rest, as they say, is history. We here in The Mermaid Lounge are celebrating by making it our Album of the Week.

3:00 p.m. The #BecomeUngovernable House Playlist

Haven’t heard this one in a while, and it’s perfect timing with this cycle’s SELECTION process. Some of the best protest songs ever recorded reside here.

Evening Open Stream with Three-in-a-Row’s

Tonight, it’s wide open stream with some Three-in-a-Row’s tossed in! In fact, we’ve several today from the ladies, including Linda Ronstadt, Valerie Carter, Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams. Stick around.

Come on. Take a load off. It’s Sunday. Your personal god of choice even took Sunday off and declared it a day of rest. Tune us in.

Petty Month Draws to a Close With ‘Wildflowers’, We’re All Under The Influence, and Later Tonight: Live Dead, Saturday, October 31, 2020

Good Morning, Music Lovers. I trust your day will be a good one. Today we bid a fond farewell to another Petty Month. Hey, with any luck, we could be streaming from his birthday bash in Gainesville. Fingers crossed.

Today’s single Tom Petty offering is the All The Rest portion of the new Wildflowers project. These are the songs that would have made Tom’s double album had he released it back in 1994.

A fan’s fond farewell.

12:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Wildflowers & All The Rest by Tom Petty FINAL AIRING!

Today’s Airing: All The Rest

These are the ten songs that would have been included on the ideal Wildflowers double album set. Congratulations to his bandmates, family and friends for making this happen.

The boxed set entered the Billboard 200 at number 5. The re-issue of the album Wildflowers has gone to number 1. There is no question that the world misses Tom Petty’s music.

Afternoon Open Stream, 26,000+ Songs, No Advertising, Totally Free

Listen for those Three-in-a-Row interludes throughout the day!

7:00 p.m. Under The Influence: Various Artists

Now, being under the influence doesn’t always mean it’s illegal, mind you. But more often than not, it does. Don’t lie because we’ve all been there.

10:00 p.m. Live Dead! The Grateful Dead Live at Dillon Stadium, Hartford, Connecticut, July 31, 1974 NEW!

Another great outing by The Dead. No two shows ever the same, even on consecutive nights. The ultimate jam band.

So, will this be your lucky day? Or are you still lost in the ozone? Time will tell, won’t it?
