I’m not sure why I’ve never linked to The Vengeance Hour, an hourlong show curated by my good friend and former colleague, Tom Clark, aka Denis Vengeance. Each fortnight, Tom live-mixes a killer set that skews heavily toward ’60s and ’70s prog rock, new wave, classic rock, and folk—genres I have only a passing familiarity with, not because I’m too young (as if), but because I grew up listening more to R&B, disco, funk, jazz, and blues—which makes each show an hour of delightful discovery. His latest features several artists from Woodstock (which just celebrated its 57th anniversary) including Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane, and Sly and the Family Stone, plus The Beatles, Nick Drake, Dire Straits, and more. It’s a great listen.
