Raising funds during a holiday are always difficult, but I think Mother’s Day is a particularly tough day. Being on the air from 4-6pm means it’s prime dinner time so that likely affected how well we were able to do our part this past Sunday with the fundraiser. The show however is really very solid. Even though Morgan Rhodes and I are pitching quite a bit throughout it, there’s still a ton of great music, including a short tribute to Robert Johnson on 100th anniversary of his birthday in the first hour, and at the start of the second hour an edited version of an interview and performance from the Corin Tucker Band! The band performs two songs from their new album, the first for Corin since 2006 when Sleater-Kinney went on hiatus. There’s actually another song they performed and a lot more to the interview. I’ll broadcast (and post) the full version of the interview later in the month when we celebrate our 1-year anniversary on KPFK, but for now enjoy this version and yesterday’s show.
