Special Guest John Book

(From John Book)

"My guest DJ spot on Galactic Fractures is perhaps what I like to do when I write about music. I like to offer a good portion of the unknown and not-well-known, along with offering variations of what you may be very familiar with. The music was selected to show off some of the music and records I have, and was done so with the listener in mind. When the welcome mat was offered for me to enter Galactic Fractures once again, I made sure I put together the show with the utmost respect, just as the show does for the music it plays on a regular basis."

Special Guest Ephraim Glick!

Back in 2008 my friend Ephraim did a guest spot on the show and it was a huge hit, so I asked him back for a second session. Don't miss out on this fantastic mix! I especially dug the Party Favors on RSVP and the Third Guitar ballad he uses to close out the show. Solid start to finish.

Keith Foley Guest Set!

My friend Keith Foley, aka Axel Foley, stops by the show to play some of his raers. Some real amazing stuff in this set. Check out the pulled Jackson 5 'Boogie' LP, which includes an amazing Stevie Wonder cover. Also plenty of local tracks, such as the amazing Riviera Show Band, recorded at a club in Somerville MA! You can catch Keith every Friday and Saturday at Grafton Street Pub in Harvard Square.
