Blue Island Radio Podcast Brandon Zamora

On today's episode of Vinyl Fridays Brandon and AP Lindsay are joined by Chicago musician Erik Oldman whose long running band Sons of Ra just released a new collection of music called Tropic of Cancer. We will hear a couple of tracks from Sons of Ra and also some of the ingredients that go into the making of Sons of Ra, like Miles Davis, King Crimson, Sun Ra (of course), Voivod, Iron Maiden, and Slayer. But you'll also hear songs by Big Black, Pere Ubu, Bog Log III, Sonic Chicken and whatever else Brandon tries to pass off as music this week.

On today’s episode of Vinyl Fridays Brandon & AP Lindsay are joined by guest DJ Chris Bizarro who runs his restaurant Bizarro & Son out of the kitchen at The Rock Island Public House in Blue Island Illinois. He also promotes shows featuring local bands at Front Row on Olde Western (in Blue Island). The next show is scheduled for Sunday, May 26th and will feature The Cell Phones, Sweetie, Won’t Stay Dead, Cut Your Losses and Anxiety Patrol; not to mention flash tattoos, and vendors. And Christ will display his love & support of local music by playing sets of some stellar local Chicago and Blue Island bands including Cafe Racer, Gander, Waltzer, The Walters, Spider Bait, Son of A Gun, Fighting for Scraps, Aight Bet, The Symposium, Shots Fired, Lollygagger & Max Loebman, while Brandon stumbles through his meager collection of local talent. Well, they’re local somewhere, right?

On this week's episode of Vinyl Fridays Brandon and AP Lindsay play host to Blue Island legend Jimmy Munoz. Traditionally a House DJ, Jimmy has been DJing for many years (unlike Brandon) has appeared on Vocalo, and a number of his mixes can be heard on Mixcloud. On today's episode Jimmy dives into the deep end of the freeform pool and mixes in a number of favorites with an equal amount of surprises. They also talk about Blue Island, of course, and Jimmy's sense of style.

Brandon and AP Lindsay welcome back one of their favorite guests and DJs, Mr. Jason Berry. The last time Jason was on the show he played sets of Twee and Twee-Adjacent songs that were not available (to the best of his knowledge) on streaming sites like Spitofy or what-have-you) and this time he challenges Brandon to a duel of short songs. Who can play the shortest songs without mis-cueing, in the least amount of time. May the shortest set win! You will hear songs by Fuzzbox, The Judys, The Undertones, Dear Nora, Suburban Lawns, Sour Patch, The Meat Puppets, Toys That Kill, Half Japanese, Go Sailor and many more!
