Jerry Garcia night with the S.F. Giants

The Giants will honor one of San Francisco's most beloved native sons on the 15th anniversary of Jerry Garcia's passing with two baseball traditions, and what could only be described as a Pranksterish stunt. According to Relix:
Garcia’s daughter Annabelle will throw out the first pitch while Bob Weir will perform the National Anthem. Later, during the seventh inning stretch, Mickey Hart will attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest kazoo ensemble, leading more than 7,000 fans in “Take Me Out To The Ball Game.”
We have to be grateful that Micky's not leading a vuvuzela ensemble.

Independence Day

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness....

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Phish dropping TTE from live repertoire

Citing overwhelming negative feedback on the internet, Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio announced that Phish would no longer perform their epic song Time Turns Elastic. Fans on internet forums have been complaining about the song since it was introduced, and venue managers across the country have been blaming the song for several trampling incidents caused by mass rushes to the restrooms.

"You know, you just can't please everybody," said Anastasio. "We liked the song, but the custies don't, and we owe it to them to give them a good show. Time Turns Elastic was an ambitious composition that didn't translate well on stage. We're hoping that Fishman's new vuvuzela quartet is more to the crowd's liking."

Help keep underwriting announcements off WPKN!

Next Tuesday, June 15th, WPKN staff will vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow paid commercial underwriting announcements on the air. WPKN has avoided this for the 20 years it has been listener supported. Underwriting announcements will alter the sound of WPKN, and not for the better. In addition to the phony commercials run during programming, there will be increasing pressure to alter the schedule so that the right kind of programs are at the right times for the corporate sponsor's advertising.

You can help stop this before it starts. Whenever you're listening to WPKN, call the programmer who's on the air and ask him or her to vote NO on the constitutional amendment. The phone number is 203-331-9756.

Thank you. The future of WPKN's integrity depends on you.

Frank Zappa Memorial Day Meltdown

Bob Chamenko does it again!

The Frank Zappa Memorial Day Meltdown makes its annual appearance this Friday May 28 at 7pm AND 11:30pm!! The six and a half hour special will run from 7pm to 10pm and 11:30pm to 3am with a 90 minute public affairs break from 10pm to 11:30pm. The annual dose of ZAPPA will be presented by Bob Chamenko with special guests (& Zappa experts) Johnny "the Rod" Curotto & Dave "the Crusher" Kisyk. The massive FZ Special will include music from all aspects of Frank's career and will feature Zappa interview material as well as frequent readings from various Zappa books. Enlightening and entertaining, the Frank Zappa Memorial Day Meltdown should provide a great start to the holiday weekend. "Just add water, makes its own sauce!"

Note: the music will be interrupted from 10:00-11:30 p.m. for some crappy Pacifica programming.

Tune in to WPKN 89.5 FM Bridgeport, or online.

A sad day for local radio: WPKN ditches Montauk-New London signal


After five years as a regional broadcaster covering the I-95 from Stamford, CT to Westerly, RI,  WPKN has given up its Montauk frequency and will no longer broadcast on 88.7 FM. Today at 12:00 noon, Hamptons Community Radio will assume control of the signal. WPKN will be heard no more on the East End of Long Island and east of the Connecticut River.

Dear Bloggy

Dear Bloggy,

I know, I've been neglectful. That thing with Facebook, that other thing with Twitter—believe me, they meant nothing. You have always been my first, my only social media true love. I promise I will be more attentive, more authorly in the future.

Yours always,

Black Rock Rocks for the vandalized trees

BlackRock Rocks Presents.... New Roots!

SATURDAY - Keepin' it Local - 8:00pm

SUNDAY - Black Rock gets FUNKY! - 3:00pm
The Primate Fiasco + more to be announced soon.
+ $6.00 Bloody Mary's and Mimosas (proceeds go to the event too)

ADMISSION: $7 each show - $12 for both!

More Performers TBA - Stay Tuned! But you KNOW it will be good!
Pass the word!!!

INFO ON THE CAUSE:
Police investigate a mysterious chainsaw "massacre" that may have destroyed 15 sycamore trees along St. Mary's-by-the-Sea during the nasty storm Saturday night March 13th.

Fifteen stately sycamore trees lining the waterfront walkway in the scenic neighborhood park were vandalized -- perhaps fatally -- by "girding" cuts, sliced several inches into their circumference. The deep cuts, apparently inflicted with a chainsaw, prevent nutrients from traveling up a tree's bark to the leaves.

Brian Dolazni on the Sunday Brunch Concert

Sunday, April 18, 1:00 p.m.
Live in our studio and on the air!

"There is something insistent in Dolzani's music that won me over" - TIRBD blog

[Brian] exudes the melodic charm and trebly vocal hitches of Jules Shear and the heartbreaking warmth and intriguing lyrical turns of Freedy Johnston" - Cincinnati City Beat

Brian Dolzani is an engaging and energetic singer/songwriter, drawing comparisons to artists such as Dave Matthews, Neil Young, and Freedy Johnston. He is supporting his 5th CD release, the self-titled 'Brian Dolzani'. Brian tours across New England and beyond, pulling audiences into his introspective, emotive and deeply imagistic songwriting. Tune in to hear songs from his latest release, as well as some brand new songs from his ever-evolving songwriting catalog. Not to be missed.

This show takes place in the friendly confines of our FM studio. Space is limited. Please call 203-331-9756 for reservations.

New Discovery Channel series: Headliest Catch

A look deep inside the most dangerous trade in America: Vending nitrous.

[cuts to a scene of a greasebag pounding a frozen tank against the pavement]
"so uhh basically when they freeze up... you gotta get em flowin' again. [looks around nervously] the trick is, man... you gotta... dislodge the ice... while at the same time... [looks around nervously again] not drawing too much attention... [looks over his shoulder] to yourself... or they'll confiscate your tanks... [looks around again, this time spotting someone walking towards him in a collared shirt.] SHIT! SIX UP! SIX UP! [takes off running.]"

[pans over to two dudes fist fighting near a tank]
Mike Rowe Narrates: "9 miles from the center of philly. Here, two rival gas dealers are trying to catch the same phish in the same location. Gas vending is very territorial. Each crew has their honey holes, these honey holes have been passed down on charts and road maps through generations of vendors. It's times like these, when someone's in another crew's spot, that things get ugly."

Glenn Roth live on the Sunday Brunch Concert

Influenced both by talented fingerstyle artists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Michael Hedges, and Preston Reid and the bombast and melodicism of bands like Tool and 311, Glenn has developed a style of solo acoustic guitar playing that’s uniquely his own: aggressive, emotional, vibrant, melodic, in turn and often within the same song. Anyone who has marveled at Glenn’s brilliant acoustic interpretation of Iron Maiden’s Run to the Hills, a YouTube hit and a tribute to those early days of air-guitar, can attest to Glenn’s imaginative and virtuosic guitar playing.

Join us in the intimate setting of our broadcast studio for what promises to be a wonderful set of music.

Space is limited. For reservations & directions, call 203-331-9756.

Sarah Blacker live in our studio this Sunday Brunch Concert

Sarah Blacker will make you dance a jig in the street, while she stomps, claps, and cheers you on! She’ll get a kick out of the way the music moves you, and will be equally as moved. She’ll even make your toughest bassist cry with the amount of passion she pours into each musical note she produces. She’ll treat you like an old friend before a show and stop you dead in your tracks once she starts to sing.

Join us in the intimate setting of our broadcast studio for what promises to be a wonderful set of music.

Space is limited. For reservations & directions, call 203-331-9756.
