Bottomless Pit #234 "What Might Cub Play?" (June 4, 2016)
Description
#234- from June 4, 2016
The late great Rock artiste Cub Koda was someone that I was glad to know. He was the first Rock musician I ever knew who had his own radio show- maybe I got the idea from him.
Another recurring show motif on the Bottomless Pit was called “What Might Cub Play?”, where I’d try and tap into his own unique stream of consciousness. On this edition, I throw in lots of great Bollywood Rock and Roll and ask the musical question, “Would Cub Have Liked This Stuff?”.

THE BOTTOMLESS PIT
I did a one-hour radio show on New York’s WFUV from 2011-18, every Saturday night (until it got switched to Sunday nights during late 2017). But the show originally started on WKZE in the Hudson Valley during 2005-6; then I brought it back at the station’s request during 2010. (RIP, station owner Will Stanley.)
I always loved doing the show and was proud of it. It was “a weekly roundup of items from my personal record collection”- a large percentage of the records that got played over the years were things that I had some kind of longstanding emotional connection with, but I also played lots of things that I happened to be discovering during the moment at hand.
It’s nice to be able to say that nobody at either station ever said a negative word to me about what I was playing, or suggested what I should be playing, etc., so the show was pure self-expression for me.
I eventually had to pull the plug on the whole thing for various reasons at the end of 2017, but thanks to a suggestion from webmaster Franklin Odel, I’ll be posting reruns of the show here on YouTube! Watch this space!..
