The Aristocrats

Another nugget from the Loscalzo vault. This time, it’s Britpop Godfathers Blur with an in-studio performance. This group of lads is still relevant 12 years later as frontman Damon Albarn is currently hot with his cartoon band Gorillaz, Graham Coxon is enjoying solo success and drummer Dave Rowntree has a cartoon project of his own called Empire Square (but it’s on some channel no one gets, so not a soul will see it in the US).

This interview is also highlighted by an appearance of Mrs. Gyrtlebaumer a regular “character” on Loscalzo’s show. “Gyrtlebaumer was a brilliant crank caller and I loved having him…errr…her on the show,” Loscalzo tells us. “This was a fun day for us as we had just opened a new ’state of the art’ studio and nothing was working properly. Blur fanatics will love this as the band’s performance was great.”

Our pal Loscalzo has opened up his vault to us and provided this simply fascinating interview with Greg Dulli from 1994 on WDRE/Long Island. This is from the time when Dulli was red hot with his Afghan Whigs release Gentlemen and the video for the title song was all over MTV. Special appearance by Lenny the Intern (now the King of Indianapolis radio) and Peter Puberty make this a cool treat for any serious Dulli fan.

Loscalzo says, “Great hearing that old tape again, hope Dulli fans enjoy it.”
