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.
