Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the April 30 edition of 105.9 Qwik-Rock's weekly local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Lion Country's Rock Station, 105.9 Qwik-Rock. The show can also be streamed via Qwik's website, www.1059qwikrock.com.

For something a little different this week, we revisited a special we first tried in 2013, the "Long and Short of It Special!" We showed some love to the song creations from the area music scene that clock in at lengths far less or exceeding the standard 3-5 minute time frame. We spotlighted tunes that clocked in at around 2 minutes or less, as well as songs that exceeded ten minutes! While Mysterytrain set the record for the longest song ever aired on the program with a 30-minute jam rock whopper during the first airing of this special, Matt Pless set the record for shortest tune ever played on the program during this edition with his 4-second ode "The Pizza Song!" Along the way, we debuted new short songs by Miss Melanie & the Valley Rats, The Whatleys, Tommi Mushroom and Hedonism Bots.

Here is this week's playlist (with time lengths in parentheses):

HOUR ONE:

MISS MELANIE & THE VALLEY RATS - "You Ain't Gonna Steal My Shine" (2:05)
COOTIE BROWN - "Universe" (17:16) (2007, Local Music Flashback)
THE ARTS - "Dreamcatcher" (12:23)
THE WHATLEYS - "Go For Broke" (1:43)
TOMMI MUSHROOM - "Sunset" (1:50)
WINE OF NAILS - "Kloone's Voyage" (19:33) (2001, Local Music Flashback)
MATT PLESS - "The Pizza Song" (:04) (NEW "Homegrown Rocker" short song record!)

HOUR TWO:

HYBRID ICE - "Faith Without Works" (9:44)
BORROWED TIME - "You're Bad News" (2:14)
FELIX & THE HURRICANES - "Green Grass and High Tides" (live) (12:11)
NOBODY'S HEROES - "State Train" (1:56)
MYSTERYTRAIN - "Flow River Flow" (live) (23:14)
H8 - "Cemetery Road" (1:52)
HEDONISM BOTS - "Abandoned By Misadventure" (2:12)

On our next program, we return to the mailboxes to check out new recordings that have arrived in recent weeks. That, of course, means we will fill our two hours with maximum local and regional music, including lots of new tunes! Along the way, we will update "Local Music News," rummage the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," step "Across State Lines" to hear a tune from a past band or artist, and review TWO CD's in "The Professor's CD Corner" - Ron Russell's Shadows Of Me CD during the first hour, and Gun Metal Gray's Island of the Damned during the second hour!

Upcoming guests and specials include:

MAY 14 - Nag Champions
MAY 21 - Jack Pyers
MAY 28 - Memorial Day Special
JUNE 11 - The Whatleys
JUNE 18 - Father's Day Special
JUNE 25 - 13 Saints

(All dates are subject to changes as circumstances warrant.)

Bands and artists wanting to submit news items for "Local Music News" may email their news to homegrownrocker@gmail.com. Indicate "MUSIC NEWS" in the subject heading!

Bands and artists interested in having music aired on the show are invited to send their broadcast-quality recordings to: Magnum Broadcasting, 315 South Atherton Street, State College, PA 16801; ATTN: Jim Price/Homegrown. Or drop the recordings off at the station during regular business hours, Monday-Friday 9 AM – 5 PM. You can also email digital song files or inquiries about the show to homegrownrocker@gmail.com.

Jim Price
