Host Geoff Hanson calls his musical stylings the Rootsy Groove. The groove in a vinyl record is where the magic happens. The musical alchemy begins the moment when the needle hits the groove. When The Needle Hits The Groove airs every Saturday on 98.3 The Penguin in Wilmington, NC.

I have been remixing and creating mashups for Pearl Jam songs. Here is Can't Find a Better Man which conjoins Pearl Jam's "Better Man" with The English Beat's "Save it for Later" in which both bands reference one another.

Set 2 of my favorite mash ups. My mix of Pearl Jam's and Vicotria Williams' "Crazy Mary"is one of my favorites and "Save it for the Betterman by Pearl Jam and The English Beat is also really cool because while Ed often sings "Save it for Later", in this version the English Beat play "Better Man" so it is a perfect fit.
