Recap of Donovan on BBiB, 4/19/12

Mike Newman — Sat, 05 May 2012 16:08:44 +0000

Well, it certainly was a highpoint of my radio career when I welcomed the absolutely legendary and newly-inducted Rock Hall member, Donovan, to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio. Needless to say, I’m a big fan!

Originally I thought this interview would be a phoner, but since Donovan was coming to NYC the week after the Rock Hall induction ceremony, he was gracious enough to stop by the EVR studio LIVE! So I won’t waste much more of your time with my fanboy account and hook you up with the links and vids.

First though, take a peak at this small video excerpt from the interview…

Here are some links to enjoy:

And you must see the live “Sunshine Superman” that Donovan performed two feet in front of my face! Surreal to say the least…

Just WOW, man…

Steve Howe Interview on Beyond Beyond is Beyond Thursday

Mike Newman — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:01:15 +0000

As a big YES fan, I am proud to say that with this new Steve Howe interview, I have now rounded out (not roundabout) interviewing the classic Fragile and Close to the Edge-era lineup. High school Mike Newman would be very proud. He might even freak out!

So tune in to see if much-older Mike Newman freaks out whilst speaking with one of the greatest guitarists ever in rock music. We talked about everything from Yes to Zappa to Asia to Tomorrow. I may have even convinced him that he should put Tomorrow back together!

I’ll air my interview with Steve Howe on Thursday, January 26th on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio, from noon to 2pm EST. Come join us.

UPDATE: LISTEN TO THE ARCHIVED INTERVIEW RIGHT HERE!

Early 2011, Swedish pop-psych band La Fleur Fatale, whom I have championed for the last couple years now, visited NYC to appear on Beyond Beyond is Beyond and do three live shows in NYC and Brooklyn.
