Musical philosophyThe music format of both the weekly terrestrial radio show and the 24/7 satellite radio channel is based on Van Zandt’s musical philosophy and approach to rock ‘n’ roll. Van Zandt believes that rock ‘n’ roll is a continuum from the early 1950s onwards and that it is artificial and counter-productive to segregate music by the decade it was created. So the Underground Garage presents music from every decade since the beginnings of rock ‘n’ roll in the early 1950s to the present day.Stylistically, the format’s offerings span such genres and categories as garage rock, girl groups, British Invasion, psychedelic music, rockabilly, surf rock, and punk rock. The music is fully integrated so that listeners hear recordings by rock pioneers such as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard and Elvis Presley juxtaposed with records by present-day garage bands like The Contrast – and multiple artists from the four decades between.Van Zandt has stated that he hopes to draw younger listeners (who are attracted because of the current artists) to hear the historic acts that paved the way for today’s rock. And older listeners (who are attracted because of the vintage artists) to hear the artists who are carrying on the tradition. “The Coolest Song in the World This Week”On both the Sirius XM channel and on the syndicated show, one song is proclaimed as “The Coolest Song in the World This Week.” At the end of 2006, listeners were invited to choose between the 52 songs to pick the year’s best. The results were as follows:1. The Woggles: “It’s Not About What I Want”2. The Charms: “So Romantic”3. Anderson Council: “Pinkerton’s Assorted Colours”4. Primal Scream: “Country Girl”5. New York Dolls: “Dance Like A Monkey”6. The Shys: “Never Gonna Die”7. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts: “Everyone Knows”8. The Raconteurs: “Steady, As She Goes”9. The Maggots: “King Of The Freaks”10. The Holograms: “Are You Ready For It”The same concept was applied in 2009, with listeners voting at the end of the year for their favorite “Coolest Song in the World This Week.” The 2009 results are as follows:1. The Noisettes: “Never Forget You”2. Tinted Windows: “Take me Back”3. The Doughboys: “I’m Not Your Man”4. The Ravonettes: “Last Dance”5. The Chesterfield Kings: “Up and Down”6. Locksley: “There’s a Love”7. The Yum Yums: “Too Good to be True”8. The Verbs: “Burnt Out Star”9. Cocktail Slippers: “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre”10. The Silver Brazilians: “Kate Winslet”In addition to selecting a “Coolest Song in the World This Week” and voting for “Coolest Song in the World This Year,” at the end of 2009, Little Steven also posted his “25 Coolest Albums of the Decade” and “50 Coolest Songs This Decade.” The top 10 Coolest Albums of the decade were:1. The Beatles: “The Beatles Catalog in Mono”2. “Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts From The British Empire And Beyond”3. Bruce Springsteen: “Magic”4. The Chesterfield Kings: “Psychedelic Sunrise”5. Primal Scream: “Riot City Blues”6. Tinted Windows: “Tinted Windows”7. Foxboro Hot Tubs: “Stop, Drop and Roll”8. Cocktail Slippers: “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre”9. Iggy Pop: “Skull Ring”10. Ray Davies: “Other Peoples’ Lives”The Top 10 “Coolest Songs of the Decade” were:1. Joey Ramone: “Maria Bartiromo”2. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: “My Lucky Day”3. Oasis: “Lyla”4.

Wear something nice. No jeans, t-shirts, shorts, minis, etc. Dress like you are going to a nice restaurant. It doesn’t matter who the artist is. You don’t have to go “fancy”, just nice.
