My guest on this month’s radio sessions show is my own 25-year (off and on!) bandmate from Springhouse, Mitch Friedland! He and I spin the new song we (all original members, with original bassist Larry Heinemann) recorded this year (produced by Larry), just released for a Hurricane Sandy benefit (New Jersey themed) tribute album called Our Hometown. We also talk about the album (a great collection and a great cause) and other things past and present, and Mitch plays that song live, two other Springhouse songs from 1991 and 2008, and a (if you ask me) stunning cover of a 1986 Husker Du/*Bob Mould* song from Candy Apple Grey (never performed or recorded by Mitch before), “Hardly Getting Over It.” I also spin another song from the benefit record by Successful Failures, two from Mitch’s new guitar project The Bandstand, some tunes we used to cover years ago by Salvation Army, Comsat Angels, My Bloody Valentine, and The Saints, and two songs by Bob Mould and Ride with ties to our band. Why not listen in? It’s fun!

Also if you enjoy the new one devoted to Mitch, here is the links to last month’s session we did at Pancake Factory, also with the honorable Mike Hurst presiding on the engineering/production/mix, with a different, more recent, terrific Brooklyn band:
Rabid Session with Heaven: here
And coming next month, scheduled: New York’s longtime baroque orchestral-pop stalwarts, The Sharp Things. Hurrah!
