Above this text you should see the music video I put together for this year’s GI Joe Winterfest, which happened last weekend in Louisville, Kentucky.  This is the winter toy show put on by the folks who handle The Kentuckiana GI Joe Toy Expo, which usually happens in July, and it’s a heck of a fun show.  We ran a preview of the show in this spot a couple of weeks ago. The video is eight minutes of toy show bliss, set to a rockin’ tune.

Our music is the tune, “Animal Farm” by Sgt. Van & The Highway Dogs. Sgt Van himself is a regular at the show, and also a favorite of Radio Free Charleston on The AIR.  In fact, a new tune by him just opened the show last week. And also apologies to Chuck for misspelling his name in the credits at the end. It’s “Chuck Van Vorhis II.” This is what happens when I edit video at 5 AM.

We are not done with our coverage of Winterfest yet. On Wednesday we’ll be bringing you an interview with Greg Autore, who will tell us about the inflatable tanks you see in the video above, as well as some other great projects he’s worked on. Greg’s a longtime toy industry vet and has tons of great stories that you can read on his website.

That’s not all. Next Friday we’ll bring you a bigger photo essay than the one below, and next Sunday I’ll be compiling all the raw footage we shot, just to appease the completists among you.

For now, enjoy the video, and check out a dozen photos below…

In this photo, Scott Wilde, who is either a wizard or a doctor when it comes to repairing Talking GI Joe is hard at work in the foreground, while Sgt. Van, who provided the music for this video, points to the side.

You’ll learn more about Greg Autore’s Ghost Tank project on Wednesday.

A tub of Godzillies.

Ricky Puckett has some of the coolest toys at his booth.

At Ricky’s booth. I am morally obligated to photograph and post photos of this every time I see it.

Also at Ricky’s booth, but this is here because, later this year Corgi is reissuing the Batboat, just like they did last year with The Batmobile. A reissue of this two-pack, a highly sought-after item, is heavily rumored.

Mel went nuts over the massive, 3-D printed, Bender.

Some folks really know how to get a head in toy collecting.

Rare Super Joe vehicles and accessories. I hear these are compatible with Adventure Command and Astro Command.

Always cool to catch up with Rocko Jerome, the man behind GHOST Agents.

You hardly ever see The Counter Culture Adventurer in the wild.

We leave you with a bird’s eye view of the action.

Be sure to check back next week for much more coverage of Winterfest 2025!

Back in January, 2023, I began running through all the episodes of the RFC video show in chronological order in this weekly feature (which had been randomly jumping around for a decade before that).  The episode you see this week was one that had been left out of the randoming jumping around process until about three years ago.  Now we’re correcting that with this “in the proper order” run through the video incarnation of Radio Free Charleston.

Except for three missing episodes, you will be able to find the complete run of the video RFC in this blog, by going back to Saturdays starting in 2023. At least you will when we get done. At the moment, we’re a little more than halfway-through.  After we catch up, in a couple of years or so, we’ll post all of The RFC MINI SHOW episodes, and that ought to eat up another year and four months.   This week’s featured episode is one that ran here a couple of times previously, but it’s loaded with some important stuff.

Radio Free Charelston 120, “Zombie Babies Shirt” was first posted in February 2011 as a tribute to the late David Russell, to promote a benefit show (held at The World Famous Empty Glass) for his memorial fund.

The show featured music from The ButtonFlies, Sierra Ferrell and The Diablo Blues Band, all of whom performed at the benefit. We also brought you the trailer for Porkchop, the Eamon Hardiman-directed movie on which Dave worked as cinematographer.   Since the last time I posted this show here, Sierra has become a world-famous Country Music chanteuse, performing all over the world and selling tons of records. She’ll be touring with Post Malone and Jelly Roll, and will also resume her “Shoot The Moon” tour this year.

Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart formed their band from the ashes of another band, The Tourists, and in 1983, they exploded into international success with the song that opens this episode, “Sweet Dreams are made of These.”

On this week’s Big Electric Cat, Sydney brings you highlights from the six albums Eurythmics released during the New Wave era. In addition to their electronic two-person-band sound, you will hear their later band music and collaborations with major artists like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Elvis Costello.

That’s it for this week’s PopCulteer, check back for all our regular feature, with fresh content, every day. If all goes well, we will have a video AND a photo essay from last weekend’s GI Joe Winterfest on Sunday.

We already have one month gone in the new year, and the second one starting, so here’s PopCult‘s weekly guide to things you can get into in and around Charleston, West Virginia.

As always, you should remember that THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST OF EVENTS.  It’s just a starting point, so don’t expect anything comprehensive, and if you feel strongly about me leaving anything out, feel free to mention it in the comments. Also, if you have a show that you’d like to plug in the future, contact me via Social Media at Facebook, BlueSky or Twitter. I dont charge for this, so you might as well send me something if you have an event to promote. Some links look like they shouldn’t work because they have lines through them, but that’s just a WordPress glitch, so click on them anyway. They should still work.

You can find live music in and around town every night of the week. You just have to know where to look.

Most Fridays and Saturdays you can find live music at Taylor Books. There is no cover charge, and shows start at 7:30 PM. Friday it’s Bug Kinder-Schuyler, while Saturday you can hear RFC faves, Verdeant Band.

You can find live music every night at The World Famous Empty Glass Cafe. Mondays feature open mic night. The first Tuesday of every month sees the legendary Spurgie Hankins Band perform. There’s both Happy Hour music and local or touring bands on Thursday and Friday, and live bands Saturday nights. On Sundays when there’s a new Mountain Stage, musicians from the legendary WV Public Radio show migrate to The Glass for the Post-Mountain Stage jam.

Live at The Shop in Dunbar hosts local and touring bands on most weekends, and is a nice break away from the downtown bar scene.

Louie’s, at Mardi Gras Casino & Resort, regularly brings in local bands on weekends.

In Huntington, local institution, The Loud (formerly The V Club), brings in great touring and local acts three or four nights a week.

The Wandering Wind Meadery holds several events each week, from live piano karaoke to bands to burlesque.

The multitude of breweries and distilleries that have popped up in Charleston of late tend to bring in live musical acts as well.

Roger Rablais hosts Songwriter’s stage at different venues around the area, often at 813 Penn, next door to Fret ‘n’ Fiddle in Saint Albans. You might also find cool musical events at Route 60 Music in Barboursville and Folklore Music Exchange in Charleston.

To hear music in an alcohol-free enviroment, see what’s happening at Pumzi’s, on Charleston’s West Side.   You can also visit Coal River Coffee in Saint Albans for live music in an alcohol-free environment. I am looking to expand this list, so please contact me through the social media sites above if you know about more alcohol-free performance venues.

For cutting-edge indepent art films, downstairs from Taylor Books you’ll find the Floralee Hark Cohen Cinema by WVIFF. Each week they program several amazing movies in their intimate viewing room that you aren’t likely to see anywhere else.

Please remember that viral illlnesses are still a going concern and many people who have very good reasons are still wearing masks, and many of us, understandably, are still nervous about being in crowds, masked or not. Be kind and understanding  while you’re out. And if you’re at an outdoor event, please remember that it’s awfully inconsiderate to smoke or vape around people who become ill when exposed to that stuff.

Keep in mind that all shows are subject to change or be cancelled at the last minute.

Here we go, roughly in order, it’s graphics for local events that I was able to scrounge up online…

For the first time in the same week since last July, The AIR brings you great new episodes of Curtain Call and Beatles Blast that are both departure episodes of a sort.  You can tune in at the website, or just stay right here and  listen to the convenient embedded radio player lurking elsewhere on this page.

At 2 PM (EDT) Beatles Blast brings you an hour of Country-fied (or Country Fried) Beatles music.  Ringo Starr has a new Country album, written and produced by T Bone Burnett, and it’s currently sitting at the top of whatever passes for charts these days, so I thought it might be time to explore the influence of Country Music on The Beatles, and vice-versa.

In this show you will hear very Country-sounding tracks by The Beatles, together and solo, plus a selection of Country covers of Beatles tunes, and we open and close with tracks from Ringo’s “Look Up” album.

Check out the playlist…

Beatles Blast 117

Ringo Starr “Time On My Hands”
The Beatles “What Goes On”
The Beatles “Honey Don’t”
The Beatles “Don’t Pass Me By”
George Harrison “Sunshine Life For Me”
Paul McCartney with Carl Perkins “Get It”
John Lennon “Crippled Inside”
Yonder Mountain String Band “Think For Yourself”
Dar Williams “You Won’t See Me”
Pickin’ On “A Hard Day’s Night”
Willie Nelson “Yesterday”
Wanda Jackson “Run Devil Run”
Steve Earle “I’m Looking Through You”
Dave Maclean “Ticket to Ride”
Matt Axton “Octopus’s Garden”
Ringo Starr with Buck Owens “Act Naturally”
Paul McCartney & Wings “Sally G”
Ringo Starr “You Want Some”

Beatles Blast can be heard every Wednesday at 2 PM, with replays Thursday at 11 PM, Friday at 1 PM,  and Saturday afternoon.

At 3 PM (EDT) on Curtain Call, Mel Larch dives into the archives deeper than anyone thought possible, and offers up a mixtape of the best of Broadway…from 1890 to 1920.

This is a collection of tunes from when the Broadway Musical was just beginning to take shape, blending light opera, vaudeville, music hall, minstrel shows and Yiddish theater influences into what we recognize today as the musical theatre experience. The sound quality is not great, since the newest of these recordings is well over a hundred years old, but the historical value is priceless, and the topics of the songs, surprisingly enough, still resonate today.

Check out this playlist…

Curtain Call 152

“Prohibition Blues” from Ladies First
“If You Only Knew” from Star Gazer
“Oh Promise Me” from Robin Hood
“Laughing Song” from An Artist’s Model

A marathon of classic episodes can be heard Sunday morning and afternoon starting at 9 AM, and an all-night marathon of Curtain Call episodes can be heard Wednesday nights, beginning at Midnight.

Also on The AIR, Wednesday at 11 PM,  The Comedy Vault brings you a brand-new episode featuring highlights of Monty Python Live, in 1982.

Your humble blogger is back from Winterfest and that means we are back to what passes for normal. Tuesday is once again “New Show Day” on The AIR.  As such, we have new episodes of  Radio Free Charleston and The Swing Shift for you. To listen to The AIR, you simply have to point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay here, and  listen to the cool embedded player found elsewhere on this page.  

You can hear Radio Free Charleston Tuesdays at 10 AM and 10 PM, with boatloads of replays throughout the week.

This week RFC kicks off with almost two hours of our usual mix of local, independent and free-format music, and then a bit more than our third hour recreates an Alternative Rock sampler from 1989 that was heavily played on the original broadcst version of RFC. .

We open with a new tune from Sgt. Van, who I just got to see a couple of days ago at GI Joe Winterfest, and we continue with new music from Falling Stars, Novo Combo, Emmaline, The Polkamaniacs, Rob Moore, The Subjunctives, The Settlement and more.

Our third hour starts about ten minutes early so I can bring you every song from HITS Magazine’s Night of the Living Post Modern CD sampler from 1989. I tell you a little bit about how I had to do RFC back when we were on broadcast radio over 35 years ago, and why CD samplers were like manna from Heaven.

The links in the playlist will take you to the pages for the artists in this week’s show where possible, except in the third hour because I’m lazy…

I’m also going to  embed a low-fi, mono version of this show right in this post, right here so you can listen on demand.

After RFC, stick around for encores of last week’s episodes of  MIRRORBALL at 1 PM and Curtain Call at 2 PM.

At 3 PM we offer up a new episode of The Swing Shift that pays tribute to Chick Webb, an overlooked Titan of Big Band Swing, who sadly, passed away young and does not get his due. In addition to discovering a teenaged Ella Fitzgerald, he led an orchestra that was on the same level as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Count Basie.

This week’s show reminds the world how great his band was.

This week’s art is an acrylic still life, on illustration board. It depicts a scene I accidentally grabbed a photo of in Chicago last month.  It’s just two cups, half-filled with coffee, hanging out on Ohio Street, just off Michigan Avenue.

I’ve actually had this on my desk for over a month, waiting to be finished. I got in late Sunday from Winterfest, and decided that it looked done enough, even though I’ll probably go back and tame that blue on the lady’s pants in the background at some point.

And I guess since people and things in the background were moving, it’s not really a still life, but the focus is supposed to be the cups, which were decidely non-animated.

To see it bigger try clicking HERE.

Over in radioland, Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring new episodes of Psychedelic Shack, and Herman Linte’s weekly showcase of the Progressive Rock of the past half-century, Prognosis.  You can listen to The AIR at the website, or on the embedded radio player elsewhere on this page.

The problem is, I’ve been gone all weekend, and had a message that they will send the episodes to me, along with descriptions, Monday by Noon, my time. And that means I have no idea what will be on either show until hours after this post goes live.

So tune in for the FUN OF DISCOVERY!

Psychedelic Shack can be heard every Monday at 2 PM, with replays Tuesday at 9 AM, Wednesday at 10 PM, Friday at 1 PM,  and Saturday at 9 AM. You can hear Prognosis on The AIR Monday at 3 PM, with replays Tuesday at 7 AM, Wednesday at 8 PM, Thursday at Noon, and Saturday at 10 AM.

At 8 PM you can hear some funny stuff on a random classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the Monday Marathon we bring you ten hours of live local music from The AIR archives.

This week we are going to re-present an animated film that we previously featured in this spot twice over the last twelve years or so.

Originally I posted this in the middle of a series of snow storms in January, 2014. Then six years later I was being all aging-hipster ironic and presented it at the tail-end of a month-long series of heat waves. This weekend, because I really did have a couple of readers request this recently, and also because I’m trying to get the blog written in advance before I leave for GI Joe Winterfest,  we’re bringing you the classic animated adaptation of Raymond Briggs’ children’s book, “The Snowman” for a third time.  Luckily, it’s really, really good. I mean, if it sucked I wouldn’t have even shared it once.

This version has the original opening, featuring a spoken word intro and brief appearance by Briggs himself. The OSCAR-nominated “The Snowman” was produced by John Coates and directed by Dianne Jackson, both of whom worked on The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine.” It’s a classic of 1980s animation, and it might just help take your mind off of some of the awfulness permeating the world at the moment.

We take you back to February, 2011 for Radio Free Charleston episode 119, “Transformer Shirt.” This episode featured the RFC debut of Sasha Colette, a song from “Norman Rockwell’s An American Love Story,” a special surprise song from Symphony Idol winner Ryan Hardiman and DEVO/Valentine’s animation by Frank Panucci.

This is a bittersweet show, with host segments shot at Hubbard Hospice House, just hours before Mel’s mother, Betty Larch, passed away. Making it even more bittersweet is the presence of Mark Scarpelli on two of the songs in this show. It’s a great time capsule of theatre and music from early 2011, but it’s tinged with a bit of sadness.

You can find the original production notes HERE.

The PopCulteer
January 24, 2025

Your PopCulteer and his lovely and healthy wife are on the way to Louisville for the GI Joe Winterfest show, but  we do have some radio shows to tell you about Friday on The AIR. This afternoon we serve up a new episode of MIRRORBALL and an encore episode of Sydney’s Big Electric Cat! The AIR is PopCult‘s sister radio station. You can hear these shows on The AIR website, or just click on the embedded player found elsewhere on this page.

MIRRORBALL

Friday at 2 PM on The AIR, Mel Larch brings you a major departure from her normal classic Disco era fare. This time you’re going to get highlights from a new release by a classic Disco artist. In fact, this is a preview of an album that doesn’t come out until almost a month from now.

It’s a new record by France’s top Disco artist of the 1970s, Cerrone, and it’s his classic Disco hits, but they’ve been re-recorded with a symphony orchestra.

With “Disco Symphony” Cerrone revisits twenty-one of his greatest hits performed with the Symphony Orchestra of Cannes (+50 musicians) directed by the legendary Randy Kerber. You’ll also hear Cerrone himself on the drums, plus an additional bass-guitars-keyboards band playing with the orchestra. Merging the power of electronic music, the groove of Disco and the unique touch of a symphony orchestra.

For this show, you might want to pull that bellbottom tuxedo and sequined evening gown out of the closet, and do the baroque boogie like Bach, Beethoven, Boney M and the Bee Gees. It’s the mash-up you didn’t know you needed.

Check out this very danceable playlist…

MIRRORBALL 110

Cerrone with Symphony:
“Love In C Minor”
“Look for Love”
“Cerrone’s Paradise”
“Rocket In The Pocket”
“All We Are”

“Give Me Love”
“Love Is Here”

You can hear MIRRORBALL every Friday at 2 PM, with replays Sunday night at 11 PM and throughout the following week Monday at 9 AM and Tuesday at 1 PM plus there’s a mini-marathon that includes the latest episode Saturday nights at 9 PM

Sydney’s Big Electric Cat Enters A Forbidden Zone

Also on The AIR  at 3 PM, it’s Big Electric Cat time as Sydney Fileen delivers a special mixtape edition of her show that pays tribute to one of my favorite bands, Oingo Boingo. Truth be told, Sydney called on me to recommend a few tunes for this playlist when she put it together last fall.

Before Danny Elfman was an Oscar and Bafta nominated and Emmy Winning soundtrack composer, he helped mutate the theatrical troupe, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, into the trailblazing New Wave band, Oingo Boingo, and before his career as a film composer became his main creative outlet, his band was one of the definitive examples of West Coast New Wave Music.

You will hear the New Wave era hits, misses and deep album cuts from Oingo Boingo, and some tracks from Danny Elfman’s “So-Lo” album, in this fast-moving and mind-blowing mixtape special. I even tipped off Sydney to a few pre-fame rarities by the band.

Check out this killer playlist…
