Deep Cuts With Jonathan

California may be facing serious a drought, but there’s no shortage of rock here. Let it flow. Side B of The Joshua Tree and some Bad Company on vinyl should do the trick.

Get ready for some blues. Inspired by fellow DJ Billy Fried, Jonathan picks out some Dr. John of old and new. Dig the 2012 Dan Auerbach-produced and Grammy-winning release Locked Down , then the epic collaboration of Tr iumvirate with Mike Bloomfield and John Hammond Jr.

Deep Cuts is all about the rarities. Feast your ears on one of Jonathan’s many rare Record Store Day picks, Cake’s B-Sides and Rarities . Speaking of B-Sides, he rounds out the hour with side B of Stone Temple Pilots’ Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop .

Time to dust off an old favorite from the stacks. Sit back and relax with Allman Brothers’ 6th studio LP, the 1979 album Enlightened Rogues .

Billy Fried joins Jonathan for some lively banter before the Deep Cuts start flowing. Tonight’s pure vinyl picks include Jackson Browne, Tom Waits, John Cougar Mellencamp, Alice Cooper, and more.

Today's assignment: Reflect on the concept of progress, transition... particularly in the case of Genesis. Is there a certain progression to observe between two successive records - the last with Steve Hackett and the first without him - Wind & Wuthering and . ..And Then There Were Three… ? Can we note the evolution of Genesis as they leave behind complicated polyrhythmic elaborations and embr...

Valentine’s Day is before us. This week, Jonathan lovingly plays for you some perhaps unexpected selections he sees to evaluate the theme of love and its expression. On deck is Eric Clapton, Springsteen, Robert Palmer, Jim James and more.

Jonathan waxes lyrical about Vanilla Sky , the science fiction thriller by Cameron Crowe. After a meaningful viewing, he happened to find its rather rare soundtrack in a record store, with a lineup boasting the likes of R.E.M., Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, and many more. He spins some of the soundtrack along with some extra surprises.

On the eve of 2015, Jonathan grows nostalgic for the days and sounds of yesteryear… and the only cure is Springsteen. Listen through to hear The Boss’s seminal debut record: Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. The nostalgia is promptly cured and an assortment of Deep Cuts follows.

It's an indie kind of day. Kick back to the smart sounds of Death Cab for Cutie's Plans .

Classic rock just ain’t gonna cut it this week. Jonathan serves up some sounds of funk, dub, and reggae before getting into the psychedelic offerings of Ozric Tentacles.

It’s the story of Rael, the poetic battle for his soul… or is it an allegory for the struggle of light vs. dark in us all? Enjoy Peter Gabriel’s last record with Genesis as we come upon its 40th anniversary: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway .

On this episode we’re taking a special journey down The Endless River . The sonic waves of Pink Floyd’s transcendent instrumental and ambient music from over the years will wash over you in an awesome wave.

Pause to celebrate the fallen kings of art rock in all their glamour. Tonight we hear full sides from some of Jonathan’s favorite Lou Reed and David Bowie records.

Roll down the windows and cruise down memory lane. We’re taking it back to the 80s, with Huey Lewis and Simple Minds coming your way.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the Deep Cuts. First we're going Deep into Gang of Four, then rounding out the hour with Traffic: On the Road , live in Germany 1973.

Over at Deep Cuts we’re riding a high from this much good rock ‘n’ roll. First we go Deep into XTC with side 3 of English Settlement , then dive into Echo & the Bunnymen’s Ocean Rain . Pictured: XTC

This week we hear a selection of Robert Fripp’s King Crimson favorites straight from The Compact King Crimson double LP, and Jonathan picks some fresh 70s and 80s spins to round out the hour.

Each side of a vinyl record tells a story. What will the B side from Tom Petty’s Long After Dark tell you? Press play and find out.

Some days, you just gotta throw on some Genesis. We’re big Gen-heads over here at Deep Cuts, both Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins eras. Tonight we celebrate their legacies with Invisible Touch , followed by Gabriel’s third self-titled solo record familiarly known as Melt .

An extra hour on the show means extra deep cut rockin’. We hear full sides of vinyl from Phoenix, XTC, and Van Halen, among other eclectic selections from Jonathan’s personal collection.

Psychedelia old and new whizzes through your ears. Then we hit side A of Their Satanic Majesties Request . What are you waiting for? Get right into the rockin’.

Tonight we revel in the glory of Stone Temple Pilots. Jonathan spins side B of Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop , their first step away from 90s grunge toward a variety of other influences.

The Deep Cuts you’ll hear this week are no coincidence… but they are significant. Let’s take a ride through one side of The Police’s Synchronicity , the #1 album from 1983. You’ll also get a taste of some Talking Heads, The Velvet Underground, and Flea telling you live from Hyde Park to eat your morning blueberries.
