Favoriting September 13, 2023: Annual tribute to my high school friend Jim McIntyre, aka Jimmy Mack. PLUS, Lyle and Jim from DAS DAMEN drop by for a chat!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

[photo: Jim McIntyre with his Mom at WBCN] Today's show is my first of the new WFMU schedule period, and as I've done since my very first show on the weekly schedule back in 2006 I'm dedicating this show to my high school friend Jim McIntyre, also known as Jimmy Mack. I'm also marking the passing of Jim's Mom late last year at the age of 88; the photo shows them together at WBCN

Jim's passion for music — and radio, for that matter — was overpowering and irresistible. In the late '70s, while we were still in high school, he began working at Boston's WBCN, one of the top rock stations in the country. He started out as a volunteer on the station's legendary Listener Line, then transitioned to the Music Department and ultimately became WBCN's Music Director by the time he was 20.

Jimmy was as generous with his opinions on new bands he loved (Cheap Trick! The Dictators! The Motors! Ultravox! The Stranglers!) as he was with extra promo records that WBCN received, and I was a grateful and fortunate recipient of both during my last couple of years of high school. Jimmy and I stayed in touch through college -- in fact, he hired me as his assistant at Stiff Records' US office in 1982 when he was doing radio promotion there. But we drifted apart in those pre-social media days after he moved out West, and to my great regret we were no longer in touch when he passed away in 1986 due to AIDS-related complications. He was only 25.

His influence during those formative high school years has stayed with me to this day: so many of the bands he introduced me to are still among my favorites, and I'd like to think that my own passion for seeking out new music and sharing it with you on the radio is at least partly due to being friends with Jim back then.

As I've written here before, there have been countless times that I've wished Jim was still here so I could tell him about a great new record I'd heard, or he could tell me about his new favorites. I'm grateful that I can go on the radio every week and share my favorites with you. If you like what you hear, take a moment to say "thanks" to Jimmy Mack for shaping my musical taste for a lifetime.

Indeed. There was this one dude at Kim's Video on St. Mark's who was the most petulant of petulant clerks. Still, I miss those days when there were six record/CD stores on one block long section of St. Mark's. There was this one guy Joe who managed Sounds and then one day there's a store across the street called Joe's CDs. I think that's the exact moment when the scene became untenable.

I’m pretty sure this is my first time hearing DAS DAMEN, but on my first visit to NYC when I was in high school (1986?) I picked up a flyer for one of their shows at some record store. I’d never heard of them or the other bands, but I loved the flyer. I loved the name which sounded so menacing (but as a German student was really funny). That flyer was hanging in my room for a long time…

I saw Das Damen support Screaming Trees in Detroit, 1991; unlike the Trees, they played a full set and didn't stumble offstage completely hammered after 5 or 6 songs. (screw you Mark Lanegan, we drove 2 1/2 hours down from the sticks to see you guys play!)
