News from under The Apple Tree


Jay Adams, Tear Drop circa 1976 //Glen E. Friedman//

Hey Everybody -- Stone and The Kid have some big news for you all!


We are throwing together a Greatest Hits Compilation of our favorite cuts from our "Sounds of a Unified Struggle" series. For those of you that missed it, Sounds of a Unified Struggle was our way of celebrating and acknowledging influential African American Soul and RnB musicians from the 50's 60's, and 70's. The compilation will be an excellent way to catch up on what you may have missed out! We also have a digital recording of our February 7th show. Personally, that was my favorite edition of Sounds of a Unified Struggle so I am more than excited to share it with you folks!


We also have a digital recording of our show last night (3/7/11): The Shark Tree. The Shark Tree was our surf rock/beach fuzz jam fest for KCPR's Shark Week III. During Shark Week, every show on air will be dedicated to shark/beach/ocean themes. Be sure to tune in and check out what all of the other crazy DJs at the station are throwing down this week!

Haunted -- the memoirs of Tess Clark

"Mrs. Clark says, Sometimes it seems that we spend the first half of our lives looking for some disaster. And she looks down at her straight-out-chest--a look made almost impossible by her enhanced lips. As young people, she says, we want something to slow us down and keep us trapped in one place long enough to look below the surface of the world. That disaster is a car crash or a war. To make us sit still. It can be getting cancer or getting pregnant. The important part is how it seems to catch us by surprise. That disaster stops us from living the life we'd planned as children--a life of constant dashing around." -- C. Palahniuk, Haunted, 2005: 134

In Living Color: Entrance, Sleepy Sun, Slang Chicken

Back in the summer of 2009, I made the long and unknowingly silent journey out into the Pasadena Hills where the city of Eagle Rock is so elegantly nestled. As I entered what appeared to be a renovated church, I discovered what I was once afraid to find: the self. The sounds that reverberated between the walls of that holy space and into my mind were unlike anything I had ever experienced in my previous life. This story can only be retold through the collection of photographs that isolate precious moments of the evening.

"For me, the actual experience of playing is going somewhere and sending something back out to people from a place that they are not in that I'm in."

The Transplants - Tall Cans in the Air




"Tall Cans in the Air" is the 2nd track off of The Transplant's self-titled debut album released on Hellcat Records in 2002. The Transplants is the quintessential hip-hop/punk rock super group of the previous decade--exemplifying everything that the southern california, low-rider, punk rock mentality is. The Transplants are: Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Operation Ivy // guitar, bass, vocals, synth, production), Rob "Skinhead Rob" Aston (Expensive Taste // vocals, scratching), and Travis Barker (Blink 182, Box Car Racer, TRV$DJAM, Expensive Taste // percussion).
