Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and whatever good tidings fill your bill from PopCult and the Larch-Panucci household.

2024 has been a year best left on the trash heap of history.  We began the year writing obituaries for good people, and we ended it writing obituaries for good people. I’d really like to take a year off from doing that.  We’ll try to stay positive while running our traditional holiday greeting…

“I hope that everybody can find some peace and well-being on this special day, and that the new year brings us all new happiness, joy, good health, and justice for the Democracy.”

Lord knows we can all use all of those things.

As is our tradition on Christmas Day, we bring you Melanie Larch singing “Ave Maria” from the very first Christmas episode of Radio Free Charleston.

Let’s follow that up with the 2014 Christmas treat that saw Melanie backed by the late and much-loved and missed, Mark Scarpelli…

And we’ll continue with Mel’s 2009 Christmas song with Diablo Blues Band…

Let’s go back to Chicago, in 2019, for one more…

Wishing you and yours the best-

Rudy Panucci and Melanie Larch

For the first time since 1989, there is a NEW, full-length episode of Radio Free Charleston debuting on Christmas Eve!

Tuesday is always “New Show Day” on The AIR.  As such, we have a new episode of  Radio Free Charleston for you, buried among all of our special Christmas programming. 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 a brand-new song from Emmalea Deal & The Hot Mess, and in the rest of our three-hour show we’ll treat you to new tracks from Shining Glass, Dinosaur Burps (with a Charlie Brown Superstar remix), Mikey Jupp, William Matheny, Brian Diller, Garbage, SPACE FREQ, The Polkamaniacs, Tony Levin, The Surfrajettes, Heavy Hitters Band, The Slamdanistas and Tucker Riggleman & The Cheap Dates.

We’re all over the map this week, jumping from Rock to Hip Hop to Glam Rock to country, Prog Rock, Alternative, Jam, Surf, Soul, Avante-Garde and more. We mix local artists with indie artists, musical legends and obscure cult musicians, and the result is…typical Radio Free Charleston. There’s even a really nice mystery bonus track at the end of the show.

Think of it as a novel way to spend your Christmas Eve.

The links in the playlist will take you to the pages for the artists in this week’s show where possible…

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.

Elsewhere on The AIR, we are bringing you a few days of holiday programming.  You can listen to The AIR at the website, or on the embedded radio player elsewhere on this page.

Aside from special holiday editions of our music specialty shows, we also have three-hour blocks of random Christmas songs as well as some audio drama, with classics like “A Christmas Carol” and “Dragnet.”

Trust me, it’s Christmassy.

This holiday bonanza will be interrupted by our regularly-scheduled NEW episode of Radio Free Charleston, which will air at its regular time all week long. Our Christmas shows will run until midnight, Thursday.

This week’s art is a quick acrylic painting designed to look Christmassy without me putting too much effort into it.

Basically, I had a lot of green and white paint handy, and improvised some holly or ivy or something.

I could’ve done something clever, or detailed, or Hopperesque, but it’s the weekend before Christmas and I didn’t have a lot of time to make art. I couldn’t even wait for it to dry to scan it, so this is a photo of the painting taken with the new phone, hence the flash artifacts.

Over in radioland, Monday beginning at 7 AM on The AIR, we bring you a few days of holiday programming.  You can listen to The AIR at the website, or on the embedded radio player elsewhere on this page.

This holiday bonanza will be interrupted by our regularly-scheduled NEW episode of Radio Free Charleston, which will air at its regular time all week long. Our Christmas show will run until midnight, Thursday.

This year I made three (and a half) holiday videos for readers of this blog.

My main motivation was to give you some fresh video content to watch while I was in Chicago earlier this month.  Then I made a really short video to go with our Christmas Tree photo essay last Friday.

Since we are just three days out from the big day, how about I collect all four videos in this post, for your enjoyment, and for the whole concept of “less work for me.”

Our first video is a return visit to Sir Troy’s Toy Kingdom, in Canton, Ohio, with music by Clownhole…

Next up, we have our look at Charleston’s Light The Night light show at Go Mart Park.  The music on this one is Mel Larch and Mark Scarpelli taking on a Vince Guaraldi classic…

Our last big video is a not-safe-for-work video travelogue, wherein your humble blogger wanders through the Spirit Christmas Store in Erie, Pennsylvania for about fifteen minutes, making snarky comments (many of them off-color) while shakily shooting video of the massive holiday retail overload. This one is longer, and not safe for work, school, or virginal ears…

And for the heck of it, here’s another look at PopCult’s Disco Christmas Tree!  Merry Christmas, folks!

And since you made it this far, it’s only fair to reward you with the news that Christmas programming will begin running on The AIR Sunday at 7 AM until Thursday night, with interruptions for The Swing Shift Marathon and Tuesday’s new Radio Free Charleston. You can hear these shows on The AIR website, or just click on the embedded player found elsewhere on this page.

RFC 114 "Flash Photography Shirt" from Rudy Panucci on Vimeo.

From November, 2010, we bring you Radio Free Charleston 114, “Flash Photography Shirt.”  The wide-ranging music on this show comes from Andrea Anderson, The Dad Horse Experience, and Shayla Leftridge. That would be punk alt-banjo music, German Gutter-Gospel and Showtunes.

For reasons I can’t remember, this episode is in standard definition, and has a 4:3 aspect ratio. I had switched to widescreen several episodes earlier, so I have no explanation why it’s like that.

Our animation is Frank Panucci’s very first animated film, about Evel Knievel.  We also have some Super Fancy Dancing. You can find the original production notes HERE.

The PopCulteer
December 20, 2024

It’s Christmastime, and I have not yet posted photos of this year’s PopCult Christmas Tree (which is largely the work of my beautiful wife, Mel Larch).  Allow me to correct that today, and not only with photos, but with a very short video AND, a brand-new Christmas episode of Mel’s classic Disco showcase, MIRRORBALL.

And as you’ll see, it all ties into itself nicely.

First, let’s show you the photos of the tree. For the past several years, we have done a pop culture tree, with a polyglot of ornaments representing everything from Batman to SpongeBob to the City of Chicago to GI Joe and tons more.  To be honest, we have enough ornaments (but not enough room) for five or six trees.

But this year we wanted to do something different.  We don’t want to fall into tree ennui. We decided to do a theme.

And since Mel loves Disco and mirrorballs (and even has a Disco music shown on The AIR called MIRRORBALL–see below) AND since mirrorballs are having a moment and you can find them everywhere this year for real cheap…it was a bit of a no-brainer.

We have a Disco Christmas Tree, complete with Santa holding a mirrorball and Keith Haring hanging out in the middle of it all.

Photos alone won’t do it justice, so after the pics, there’s a video. After that, we’ll tell you about this afternoon’s new episode of MIRRORBALL.

Using the flash to take photos does not show off how some of the mirrorballs are illuminated in different colors, but this is here for reference. The video shows them in their full glory.

Not using the flash presents a whole different set of issues, particularly when your hands are shaky

Another flash shot, this one from a weird angle that makes it look like there’s a huge blank spot that isn’t really there.

It wouldn’t be a cool Disco Christmas Tree without Keith Haring in its midst.

Disco Santa is doing pretty well his own damn self.

Finding this tree topper really made it a no-brainer to go all-out Disco with the tree.

One last look at the tree

We have other Christmas stuff too, you know. Here’s Mel’s holiday plush

…and here’s everything from Santa to Braxie to SpongeBob and the Defenders of Bulletman, all together in the holiday spirit.

Our last photo is the end table that I decorated, complete with DC Christmas figures, holiday Frankenstein and Creature, the Blue Garloo, the poor Christmas Tree Chicken from Spirit Christmas and of course, the Metaluna Mutant. Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like The Metaluna Mutant… and a Weinermobile.

With the photos out of the way, here’s the video…

Today’s Soundtrack

Friday on The AIR. This afternoon we serve up a special new episode of MIRRORBALL and a classic 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  gets you dancing into the Christmas spirit with a new, holiday-themed, episode of MIRRORBALL.

You’ll hear Disco takes on holiday classics from Snowflake, Jack Ashford, Montreal Feat. Raymond Berthiaume, The Universal Robot Band, Raindolls and The Village People.

It’s an hour of music to get you shaking your booty around the Christmas Tree, and holly jolly might not be the only vibe it stirs up.

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 Splits The Enz

Also on The AIR  at 3 PM (EDT), Sydney Fileen delivers a special encore mixtape edition of her show that pays tribute to New Zealand’s greatest musical export, Split Enz.

Sydney focuses on the New Wave career of the band, which was formed in the early 1970s, originally as a progressive rock/art rock band. In 1977 after three semi-successful albums but no major hit, there were several line-up changes. That year Phil Judd departed the band and was replaced by Tim Finn’s brother, Neil, who was only sixteen years old at the tme.

With a newly-energized line-up and the addition of Neil’s vocals and songwriting, the band headed into a new direction and became a worldwide New Wave phenomenon. Sydney brings you a msitape of the music Split Enz made from 1978 to 1984, before continuing line-up changes led to the band morphing into Crowded House. For the bulk of this show’s songs, Split Enz consisted of Time and Neil, the Finn Brothers, plus Eddie Raynor, Nigel Griggs and Noel Crombie & Phil Hester.  It’s the best of Split Enz from 1978’s Frenzy album to 1984’s Conflicting Emotions.

Check out this killer playlist…

That’s what’s on The AIR Friday, and that is this week’s PopCulteer.

Check PopCult for all our regular features, with fresh content every day, even during the holiday season.

Today’s photo essay was not exactly planned.

If you’ve been reading PopCult, you know that your humble blogger and his lovely wife just got back from our annual trip to Chicago a week and a day ago. My plan, something I’ve been attempting to do recently, was to just go and enjoy the trip and not try to turn it into content for the blog. However, I also take my camera with me everywhere out of habit, and part of our trip involved going to The Art Institute of Chicago, so it’d be criminal not to take a few photos.

Our main reason for making our first visit to The Art Institute since 2018 was so Mel could see one of their prints of Katsushika Hokusai’s Great Wave off Kanagawa. They have four copies of this piece, but due to their fragility, they only display them every few years, and then only for a few months at a time.  This is a big deal and there were ads for the event all over Chicago. Light and the elements can damage the prints, so they are displayed in a dimly-lit area.

Mindful of this, I did not use a flash for any of the photos I took the entire time we were at the Art Institute. But we were also there on a very cold day in December, and extreme weather exacerbates my Myasthenia Gravis, so most of the pictures I took, both with my camera and with my now-retired phone, came out at least a little blurry, and in some cases as accurate depictions of my double-vision.

So while comments are always welcome, please don’t be a jerk and point out the obvious. Also, if I appear to be bright red in the photos, it’s because we got there twenty minutes before they opened to the general public, and had to wait outside in sixteen-degrees weather. By the time we left four hours later we had almost returned to normal.

And a few words of advice if you wish to go to the Art Institute: Periodically, the Art Institute opens their doors and lets any Illinois resident in for free. Do not go on those days;  Go when the weather is really nice; Try going on a weekday; Go with the intention of spending the entire day there: Pace yourself because they have tens of thousands of amazing pieces of artwork to see, and you want to spend enough time with each piece that you enjoy.

Oh, and be sure to stop on the way in for the free map to where the galleries are.

I had only intended to run a dozen or so photos, but when I started going through them, I came up with more than twice that. Let’s look at ’em…

Mel and The Great Wave, out of focus (it was very dim and I didn’t want to use the flash).

The Great Wave, almost in focus.

Better luck with the focus with the phone set to selfie mode

This is our final STUFF TO DO before Christmas lands next week, and we have a lot to tell you about.

Thursday, December 19, Charleston’s ArtWalk returns for a pre-holiday edition before its long Winter hibernation. The Downtown Charleston ArtWalk is the Capital City’s premiere art event bringing you fine art, fashion, crafts, antiques, food and much more by downtown businesses and organizations and the Downtown Charleston Association, and it’s a great way to find last-minute artsy (and occasionally fartsy) gifts for your loved ones.

As always, it’s a free self-guided walking tour of Charleston’s shops, galleries and businesses featuring regional art and performances. This is when participating shops and organizations extend their hours for browsing, shopping and mingling.

Participating shops are located along Quarrier, Capitol, Lee, Summers and Hale streets in Downtown Charleston and feature a variety of art – from paintings and sculptures to photography and music. Attendees can stroll along at their own pace, dip in and out of stores and stop off along the way for a bite to eat at a downtown restaurant.

This well-loved family-friendly event takes place from 5 to 8 PM, Thursday, and attracts art aficionados as well as folks who just want to get out and try something new.

A new ArtWalk website is live now, and if all goes according to plan, it’ll be complete with a list of participating venues, and a map so you can find you way around.

This is a great way to get out, experience Charleston’s surprisingly robust arts environment and support the local scene and if affords an extra chance to check out the Holly on Brawley trees and Charleston’s fancy beer alley.

Aside from the walk of the art, there’s tons of other STUFF TO DO in Charleston and the rest of the Mountain State and beyond over the next few days so you can just read below and find out all about it.

Even with our unpredictable weather, there are still some outdoor events happening, so I will continue to implore you to not be a Grinch and vape or smoke around other humans who may not share your addictions. Lots of folks get really sick when exposed to that garbage and it would be really nice to get through the holiday without sounding like a pair of mating walruses.

As I have been copying and pasting for some time now, this a good time to remind you 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. And if you have a show that you’d like to plug in the future, contact me via Social Media at Facebook or Twitter.

Live Music is on tap at Taylor Books. There is no cover charge, and shows start at 7:30 PM.  This week’s shows are not yet announced.   There’s a fun-sounding open mic at Pumzi’s Sunday night at 7 PM.  Check out the FB event page.

As  always, The World Famous Empty Glass Cafe has some great stuff this week  to tell you about. Wednesday at 6 PM it’s time for the annual Empty Glass Gift Exchange, followed by Joe Rosenfeld & Friends.  Thursday at 9:30 PM Johnny Spolarich takes the stage. Friday at 10 PM it’s a Hometown Christmas Bash with The Charleston Rogues.  Saturday SPACE FREQ lands on the EG stage, with special guests, BRRO at 9 PM.

Please remember that viral illlnesses are still a going concern with the ‘rona still lurking about all robust and reinvigorated and just waiting to ruin your holiday. Plus there are nasty seasonal ailments, incotinent reindeer, loose cabinent nominees, Mid-Century Uranium Christmas Trees and other damned good reasons to be careful. 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.

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

Here we go, roughly in order…

Due to a quirk of the calendar and the fact that I only took one week off from producting RFC in 2024, Tuesday sees the fiftieth episode of the show this year….and there are still two weeks left.

The plan, as I write this, is to try to do normal shows on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, even though far fewer people will be tuning in.

So…things might get a little weird.

But let’s not overlook today’s new show.  Your humble blogger is back from his winter vacation/beautiful wife’s birthday trip 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 a newish episode of  Radio Free Charleston 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 one new hour of our regular RFC local/indie/alternative coolness, followed by a tribute to the late John Wetton that originally aired as an episode of Radio Free Charleston International nearly eight years ago.

The show kicks off with a brand-new song from a brand-new band, as Ghoulbox makes their Radio Free Charleston debut. Following that, I drop in a couple of RFC classics in tribute to my friend, “Tanker” Dave Matteston, who passed away last week. One detail I left out of his obituary here was that Dave was a big supporter of RFC, and I wanted to include songs from Whistepunk and Flare Baroshi, two musical acts he loved so much that I had to burn him CDs of their music.

We also have new tunes from Dinosaur Burps and Duck City Music, plus, courtesy of our Chicago pipeline, Coley Kennedy.  You’ll also find a set of Christmas tunes, including new tracks by Todd Burge, Emmaline and The Anchoress.

The links in the first hour of the playlist will take you to the pages for the artists in this week’s show where possible…

You can hear this episode of Radio Free Charleston Tuesday at 10 AM and 10 PM on The AIR, with replays Wednesday at 9 AM,  Thursday at 2 PM, Friday at 9 AM, Saturday at Noon and Midnight, Sunday at 8 PM and  Monday at 11 AM, exclusively on The AIR. Now you can also hear a different classic episode of RFC every weekday at 5 PM, and we bring you a marathon all night long Saturday night/Sunday morning.

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 give you an encore of two classic episodes of The Swing Shift.

 You can hear The Swing Shift Tuesday at 3 PM, with replays Wednesday at 8 AM, Friday at 10 AM and 8 PM and Saturday afternoon, only on The AIR . You can also hear all-night marathons, seven hours each, starting at Midnight Thursday and Sunday evenings.

This week’s art is a pastel crayon drawing, smallish, done in a semi-abstract fashion, of Christmas Trees.  This is based on a holiday display I saw last week at Water Tower Place in Chicago (seventh floor, outside Garrett’s PopCorn).  I took a few fuzzy photos on my soon-to-be-retired phone for reference, but to be honest, they looked more abstract than this piece does.

It’s just a holiday painting/drawing knocked out over the weekend so I’d have something appropriate to run in this space.

To see it bigger try clicking HERE.

Over in radioland, Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring you a recent episode of Psychedelic Shack, and then at 3 PM an also recent edition of 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.

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 a random encore of a classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the Monday Marathon we devote ten hours to five more episodes of Sydney’s Big Electric Cat.  This is the last week that we will be alternating between Prognosis and Sydney’s Big Electric Cat, as we will be pulling the early episodes of those shows from the server to make room for newer programs. After they’ve been offline for a year or so, we’ll bring them back into rotation but for now, you can hear them Monday evening into Tuesday morning, and then those episode will go on hiatus. Later this week, expect some classic AIR holiday programs to turn up.
