Signal to Noise
Free-form radio inspired by the free-form experiments of underground radio in the mid to late 60s, although I play much more than just rock and roll. This program is dedicated to the proposition that all good music transcends it's genre and is just as relevant today as it was in 1930, for instance. On Signal To Noise you're likely to hear anything from Charley Patton to Super Furry Animals. The trick to free-form radio is to blend different styles of music from different eras and make it sound not only natural, but right.
In record industry parlance, “cover versions” are recordings of well-known songs by artists who did not record the best known version. We sift through a collection of some of my favorites, including songs covered by Neko Case, Arcade Fire, Lou Reed, Ricky Dean Sinatra, Pendergast, Mott The Hoople, She & Him, Untamed Youth, Eddie Hazel, Buddy Holly, X, The Gentrys, The Now, Steve Wilson and more. Tune in to an all-new Signal To Noise with Barry Lee–Sundays starting at 8PM!
