Eardrum Buzz Radio Shows

Vapour Trail LIve: Trip Hop

Bret goes at it alone for over three hours of Trip-Hop, jazzy and funky tunes for your listening pleasure.
 
Since an early age I've been fascinated by the jazzier side of music, probably helped by the fact that my dad listened to plenty of it while we were in the car. Then Hip-Hop came around in the early 80's with LL Cool J, Ice T, Beastie Boys and Run DMC among others that mixed the sounds of Jazz and funky samples into their songs. Trip-Hop was an amalgamation of all that was around at the time and before, including Drum & Bass, Electronic music, Dub, Soul, Funk, Classical and Blues, with plenty of radio, TV and film samples included.
 
Thanks to Richard Dotson and Craig Tigwell for their requests and to Anji Lum for sending her solo music as Anji Bee and Lovespirals releases.
 
Vapour Trail Live is heard on the second and fourth Fridays at 6pm Pacific. Patrons of Eardrum Buzz Live get to hear the show a week before anyone else.

Souvlaki Bass Station EP 19 - 1990's

There's no denying that the decade between 1990 and 2000 was full of great music. Sure, we had to suffer through quite a few fads, but the songs that stays with us are those that touched our hearts and were the soundtracks for the time when we were creating a life for ourselves.
 
This was the time of MTV, Lollapalooza, College Rock, touring live bands every night of the week all over town. While this is Brandon Dudley's show, this is also, with a few exceptions all the music that was around me in my college days too.
 
Souvlaki Bass Station is heard on Eardrum Buzz Radio Sundays at 1pm and 9pm Pacific with replays the following Sunday. Listen at www.eardrumbuzz.net

Souvlaki Bass Station Episode 18: What's the Connection?

At some point in Brandon Dudley's beginnings with his bass-centric show Souvlaki Bass Station, we discussed some ideas for themes for his shows. One of the ideas I suggested was playing songs that had some connection to each other. Well, being the big brain and music nerd that he is, Brandon took off with that.
 
Will there be bands sampling or covering each other, using the same bass guitars, sharing members, guests on songs? What's the Connection?
 
Souvlaki Bass Station can be heard on the first and second Sundays at 1pm & 9pm Pacific on Eardrum Buzz Radio at www.eardrumbuzz.net
