Favoriting July 2, 2014: PAUL ZONE, author of Playground: Growing Up In The New York Underground, live in the studio!

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

Paul Zone's new book Playground: Growing Up in the New York Underground documents a transitional time in New York music history: the years when bands like The Mumps, Milk 'n' Cookies, The Miamis and The Fast were building the bridge from the glam-rock of the New York Dolls to the straight-up punk of The Ramones. A teenaged Paul Zone was the singer in The Fast; he also became the resident DJ at Max's Kansas City, and went to numerous shows at the Mercer Arts Center, CBGB, Club 82 and other soon-to-be-legendary venues. Paul Zone's photos include on-stage and off-stage shots of Blondie, Suicide, Lydia Lunch, the Dead Boys, and many others -- including, perhaps more importantly, other prominent acts of that era that remain lesser-known today. After numerous worldwide exhibits his photos are collected for the first time in this exciting new book. Tonight Paul shares the stories behind the images with WFMU listeners.

Stevel:

Did The Fast get much national play or exposure back in the day? Living in Colorado, they were not really known to me, although, most music I followed came to me directly from loaned tapes, albums, etc. They are very much the pop-punk, glam (whatever you like) that I loved.

Better late than never!

Before y'all transition to Man 2 Man, would love to hear Coney Island Chaos, another fave :-)

Also (fingers crossed) would love to hear your cover of Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart, which I've never heard, ever.
