The Rodent Hour
Sep 5, 2021 11:00 PM – 12:00 AM
Music
With Matt Attack
The Rodent Hour is an homage to the friends that I made during my misspent youth, those lifelong friends who joined me on those weekend nights so many years ago and whose eclectic tastes still influence the selection of artists and music that is featured on the show.
When not dealing with the restrictions of Covid-19 The Rodent Hour features interviews with independent musicians along with a curated playlist of music from Brooklyn and beyond the borough. I've conducted interviews with over 240 unique artists from places such as Detroit (MI), Durham (NC), Nashville (TN), Scranton (PA), Philadelphia (PA), Atlanta (GA), Denver (CO), Petersburg (IN), Portland (OR), London (UK), Pamplona (ES), Toronto (ON), Halifax (NS), Stockholm (SE), Dublin, (IE), Glasgow (SCT), Perth (AU) and, of course, New York City.
Quintuple
The original broadcast was called "National Beach Day" but I didn't have any songs about the beach on the playlist. With that being the case, and since I had five shows during August, I changed the name to Quintuple.

| The Chelsea Curve Inconceivable Inconceivable - Single 2021 With the snarl of the punk scene and the swagger of the mods, The Chelsea Curve often earn comparisons to The Pretenders and Husker Du (personal favorites of the trio). But “Inconceivable” and its impeccable groove swerves to broader British subculture territory, connecting Modern Life Is Rubbish-era Blur to the ‘80s height of The Style Council’s songwriting prowess. Its working title, in fact, was “WWPWD” -- “What Would Paul Weller Do?” Singer/songwriter Linda Pardee describes the inspiration for ‘Inconceivable’: “This song came about when I was trying to find five-syllable words to fit the rhythm of the melody and ended up making fun of myself for it -- inconceivable, inexplicable, disingenuous, etc.”
