Wednesday afternoon The AIR brings you a special new episodes of Curtain Call and Beatles Blast. You can tune in at the website, or if you’re on a laptop or desktop, you could just stay right here and listen to the convenient embedded radio player lurking elsewhere on this page.
At 2 PM Beatles Blast presents part two of our crossover with Nigel Pye’s Psychedelic Shack. Just like on Monday, Nigel and I join forces to bring you an hour of great psychedelic bands covering classic Beatles tunes. There are some really cool and obscure gems here, and it’s been a real kick teaming up with Nigel on this unusual trip.

At 3 PM on Curtain Call, Mel Larch pays tribute to Burt Bacharach, who just passed away a couple of weeks ago, by bringing you the 2010 cast recording of the hit Broadway musical he composed with Hal David, Promises, Promises.
Promises Promises, sporting a book by none other than Neil Simon, is based on Billy Wilder’s classic 1960 comedy The Apartment. The story concerns a junior executive at an insurance company who seeks to climb the corporate ladder by allowing his apartment to be used by his married superiors for trysts.
The musical premiered in 1968 on Broadway and has had several memorable revivals around the globe. This week on Curtain Call Mel brings you the 2010 cast recording, featuring Sean Hayes, Kristen Chenowith and Tony Goldwyn.
At the end of the show Mel offers up an extra treat for Bacharach fans. Check out the playlist…
