March 13, 2009. – FULL FRONTAL LOBE, USA - “I like the built-in nostalgia of vinyl - whether it's a 1964, Top 40, one-hit wonder or a super rare, private press, psychedelic LP” said co-host Norm Geddis.
He’s been collecting records since he got kicked out of a record store in 1978 for trying to order "Black Market Clash". Norm met his wife, Jane, a Grateful Dead concert in 1985.
Twenty-four years later, they’re the owners of Counter-Clock Records, an eBay store, which houses a vast collection of records, mostly 45s.
Jane and Norm buy collections from individuals, closed record stores and from eBay. Their tastes are eclectic and intuitive. They look through a stack of records and sense what's interesting, unusual, weird . . . just enjoyable. Norm has an encyclopedic knowledge of music history, but their show is far from esoteric.
Featuring random juxtapositions , unusual pairings and occasional divine accidents, each show is a voyage of discovery interspersed with short music news segments and trivia.
“We have something unique and something we're proud of. We play what we find. I call the programming style Accidental Nostalgia," said Jane.
"I'll do artists like Etta James, Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell, The Band, Bill Monroe, Renaissance, Mazzy Star, Opal, Joan Armatrading, CSNY," Jane continued. "While Norm stirs in the Moody Blues, Sandi Sheldon Small Faces, Pink Floyd, The Intruders and hundreds of others . We never know what the result will sound like until we play it.”
"The community record store used to be a hub for music lovers. You got to browse, explore, chart and share.” said Norm. “The Internet cannot deliver that. We can’t begin to replace the chill up your spine dirty tile smell of your record store, but we can begin to replace the sense of community and shared interests.”
And that’s the goal of Accidental Nostalgia weekly Thursday Nights at 7:00 starting March 19th only on Radio Dentata.
