Ep. 30: Five Oakland Songs With Liam O'Donoghue/East Bay Yesterday
Celebrate the sounds of The Town with journalist Liam O’Donoghue, the host and producer of the popular local history podcast, East Bay Yesterday. Liam's show routinely covers the rich and underexplored tales of the East Bay's past, whether it's a deep dive into Emeryville's former "Rotten City" reputation, or a story about the long gone mass transit Key System that pre-dated BART and AC Transit. When he's not reporting on East Bay lore, Liam is also a music nerd and a DJ. In this episode he combines his love of history and music by taking us on an audio tour of Oakland's different musical eras through five special songs, spanning from mid-century West Coast jazz to warehouse party music.
Liam's Selections:
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - "Take Five"
Gene Russell - "Black Orchid"
Souls of Mischief - "'93 til Infinity"
Keak Da Sneak - "Super Hyphy (Thizz Remix)"
The Younger Lovers - "The Ballad of Two Stubborn Men"
Listen to these songs and so many more on Liam’s extended playlist of Oakland Jams!
