Your humble blogger and radio host is back from a fun, but exhausting vacation, and that means that, once again, Tuesday is NEW RFC DAY on The AIR  and today is where we bring you a brand-new three-hour episode of Radio Free Charleston!  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 is a wee bit unusual because I’m writing this post several hours before I will be recording my announcing bits for the show. I have it planned out, and it should follow the playlist below, but the joys of home ownership are preventing me from committing the time to record the show properly until late Monday evening.

However, we do have a killer show, loaded with tons of brand-new local and independent music, plus a few cool ringers and deep-album cuts for your amazement and amusement.

This week’s new tunes come from our show-opener, Emmalea Deal & The Hot Mess, and also include new tracks from Erik Woods, Rocco DeLuca, The Feeders, Red Spot Rhythm Section, Julez and the Rollerz, Jim Lange, The Tirith, Duck City Music, and lots of recently-released cuts by Vinto Van Go, Thee Leviathans, Magic Sands, The Matt Berry Trio, Todd Burge & Larry Groce, Minor Swing, Hardy Mums, The Anchoress, Stitch Jones & his Bionic Marines, Stick Men and Snowy White. We also have new live tracks from The Specials, Sparks and Renaissance.

I think it’s a pretty rockin’ show, considering that I just got back in town less than 48 hours ago, and I have to wait for a plumber to fix a runaway terlet when I should be recording this show.

Check out this playlist, with links to the artist’s page where possible…
