Listening to music with friends. A weekly mix-tape of songs often neglected but “not to be missed” as recommended by guests who take time to “riff” about their love of music. -While this mission statement is still true in essence, as of April 2015 the show has evolved into THE forum for all things Carolina Rock ‘n’ Roll, with emphasis on regional garage rock bands from the 1960s. The show has taken on a number of close friends, supporters and regular contributors such as noted NC record collector and curator Ken Friedman of the great Tobacco-A-Go-Go compilations, Asheville historian and vinyl archivist Rick Russell who has become a permanent guest and co-host with his “box of tricks” giving us the welcome opportunity to play straight to the airwaves from his amazing collection of rare original 45 records. Daniel Coston, who has written the book on NC ’60s rock is a willing collaborator and partner in crime. The list goes on… including dozens of original artists who have made appearances, over the phone AND in person. The standing invitation is open… if you like what you hear and have song/artist requests/suggestions or would like to appear on the show, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH with your host: vancepollock at hotmail dot com. Stay Tuned!

The Mothership Slight Return
All aboard for two hours of African-rooted music and news from around the world!
This is a show where we track the footprints left by African people and their descendants on the music they touched — everywhere they went, from one end of the world to the other. This is a space for dusting off old relics and test-flying the hottest new cuts from the most soulful, talented and masterful working musicians of today and yesteryear. From traditional African music to modern African, Caribbean, afro-latin, New Orleans, blues, jazz, soul, funk, rhythm & blues, rock & roll, reggae, folk, standards, singer-songwriter, classic country, political hip hop, boogie, gospel, fusion, americana, discarded pop, music from every corner of this Earth, and more (think Sun Ra), it’s all here.
And being that my DJ handle and the name of my show are nods to Jimi Hendrix and Parliament-Funkadelic, you’ll be sure to hear regular contributions from those all-time Heroes and their many associates. So from the planet-forging liquid magma that seemed to drip from Jimi’s strings to the extra-terrestrial ecstatic dance spasm plasma that the P-Funk Army got all over us, we’re all about spanning the spectrum of what the galaxy has to offer us around here. So if you have a hunger for some high-intensity cultural exposure in a free-form sonic format, and you don’t mind picking up a few profound lessons about human history along the way, then there’s nothing to do but to clamber aboard, mates! Please ensure that your seat-tray tables are in the upright *and locked* position, and that your lap belts are found low & tight across your waist. Then let’s find out, together, where the good ship can take us next.

A little ’bout your Cousin TL 
Cousin TL has been a long time lover of radio and music since the day he was born. Growing up in Detroit, MI, TL consumed Rock, Ska, House and of course Motown. Then, it was living in New York City and visiting Philadelphia, PA, where he witnessed the evolution of Neo-Soul.
While working as a freelance graphic designer/cartoon illustrator, TL moonlighted as a club comedian in the Midwest, Northeast Coast, and parts of Canada. He got the radio bug as a fan of Detroit’s Electrifying Mojo and supporter of WBAI Radio – NYC.
Along with his successful syndicated podcast, “Supa Dupa”, on Pacifica Radio, Cousin TL was responsible for introducing Neo-Soul to the mountains of Asheville NC, hosting “Asheville Nu Radio” on WPVM.
Now for ten years, Cousin TL has continuously produced damn-good radio, garnishing his shows with humor, giving listeners something new, while giving them something familiar, inviting, and an all-out great time.
