Derrick Bostrom - C'mon! Live A Little
Saturdays - 3PM PT

"C’mon! Live a Little!" host Derrick Bostrom gained notoriety as the drummer and founding member of the legendary U.S. band the Meat Puppets. One of the longest-lasting bands from the 1980s indie scene, the Meat Puppets released 10 albums, including 1994’s certified gold "Too High To Die" featuring the hit "Backwater," which can still be heard on classic rock stations to this day. The band was also featured on Nirvana's best-selling "Unplugged" album, which contained three Meat Puppets songs.

Though he retired from live performing after the original trio disbanded in the late 90's, Bostrom retains a voracious musical appetite. He spends much of his spare time in the dusty corners of second-hand shops, thrift stores and dollar bins, gleefully scooping up the ephemeral leftovers not appropriated by other collectors. He released a solo e.p., "Songs Of Spiritual Uplift," in 1996, which featured spirited versions of “Pac Man Fever," “Let’s Turkey Trot” and The Archies' "Nursery Rhyme." 

Along with a site devoted to his experiences in the Meat Puppets, Bostrom also maintains the Bostworld blog, a site devoted to the  "trash, treasure, oddities, obsessions and obligations" that consume his every waked moment.
