Chris Bishop interview and mix on DJ Small Change’s Stark Reality

Leave a comment

Chris Bishop for DJ Small Change on Jason CharlesMy good friend Jim (aka DJ Small Change) interviewed me (pictured above) about politics and music for JasonCharles.net, and I made a short mix of Hudson Valley records to accompany it.

The mix features five 7″ ballads, an album cut by jazz saxophonist Nick Brignola, and an acetate – all recorded at Kennett Sound Studio. I also included both sides of 45s by the Dirty Elbows and the Teddy Boys because they’re Hudson Valley artists and sound right here.

Tracklist:

The Cleaners – How I Feel
Riccardo & the Four Most – There’s a Reason
The Kynds – So If Someone Sends You Flowers Babe
The Dirty Elbows – I Love You Girl
Teddy Boys – She’s So Sweet and Kind
Teddy Boys – Don’t Mess With Me
The Dirty Elbows – To Carry On
The Cleaners – Walking Through the Fields
The Villagers – Cry On
Nick Brignola – The Mace

About Me

99 Comments

I am Chris Bishop, currently residing in the Hudson Valley with my children. I grew up in New York, Toronto and Houston, attended college in New Orleans and Colorado, and lived for some time in California, Oregon and Japan. I’ve traveled to every state of the continental U.S. except North Dakota, and a good deal of Canada as well.

I’ve been a fanatic for garage rock since high school, notably from hearing the Bondsmen and the Q65 on the Mod Monday radio show and buying LPs of the Remains and the 13th Floor Elevators at the old Venus Records. I started Garage Hangover in August of 2004 to share some of my favorite songs with friends of mine, but it has grown into something else entirely.

I’m looking for a sponsor or grant in order to devote more time to research. Please contact me if you can help.

Band members, record collectors and fans in the Hudson Valley, New York area should drop me a line.

I also will buy collections of records: 45s, LPs and 78s; especially in New York or western Massachusetts.
