5. The Cramps….Drug Train….from 1980 release on Illegal Records
6. Tex Rubinowitz….Hot Rod Man….from a 1979 7” on Ripsaw Records. Lux Interior once said of Tex, that he gets down so far, there’s nothing but a hiccup between the floor and Tex, to paraphrase.
7. Martha Hull…Feelin’ Right Tonight….another Ripsaw 7”, this from 1981. Martha was at one time lead vocals for DC’s Slickee Boys.  Martha really lets loose on this one, but you already knew that.

11. Sydicate Of Sound….Hey Little Girl….from 1966 and on the Bell label. Freddy was in a late version of this combo.
12. The Yardbirds….Stroll On…from the Blow Up 7” soundtrack for the movie.  Locally the Boy From Nowhere cover this one.
13. The Nerves….Hanging On The Telephone….from their self released EP from 1976. Blondie later covered this one and had a bit of a hit with it.
14. Flamin’ Groovies….Shake Some Action….from a 7” on the Line Records label from Germany. Way different than the album version.
15. Barracudas…..1965 Again…from a 1980 7” on Zonophone Records. Features X Ottawa Jeremy Gluck on lead vocals.
16. Taxi Boys….I Can’t Kick…from a 7” EP on the Star Rhythm label. This is actually the Real Kids under a different name for some odd reason.
17. The Dawgs…Shot Of Your Love…..from a 1979 7” on Greenline Records and out of the Boston area.
18. The Blasters…..American Music…from a 1982 7” on FBEAT Records.
19. The Fleshtones….The World Has Changed….from a 1981 7” on IRS Records. The Fleshtones celebrate their 40^th anniversary of a band this year!!! One of my all time fave live combos, still doing it 40 years on!!!
20. The Last….She Don’t Know Why….from a 1978 7” on Bomp Records.
21. Miracle Workers…..Hung Up….from the Moxie EP from 1984.
22. The Ruts….Babylon’s Burning….from a 1979 7” on Virgin Records.
23. The Rezillos….I Wanna Be Your Man….from a 1977 7” on Sensible Records. Every Rezillos single I have, has way different versions of the songs as on the longplayer. Just love the bass playing on this one, so powerful!
24. The Buzzcocks….Boredom….from the Spiral Scratch EP from 1977. This has vocals by Howard Devoto who left the band to form Magazine.
25. The Crimson Shadows….You Can’t Come Down….from a 1985 7” on Sunlight Records and from Sweden.
26. Misanthropes….Why Do You Treat Me So Bad….from a late 80’s 7” on Get Hip Records.

28. The Cunts….. Date With Disaster….from a 1982 7” on Disturbing Records and from Chicago.

Ran outta time, certainly not records as we had planned to play many more. We’ll play a few more on next week’s show and we have Shane from Coaching For Sarah as a visitor next week.

Big thanx to Ando for letting me play with the content rules for one week only, Huge Thanx to Miesha and the Spanks for taking the time to come on air live and yammer about their show tonight at Call The Office.

Radio What Wave Playlist April 28/2016….Steven R. Stunning as Special Guest

First show in a coupla weeks, we had a special guest in Mr Steven R. Stunning, frontman, CEO of longlasting local combo 63 Monroe, a band that has helped put London Ontario on the map. Shoulda looked at my notes as there were a coupla questions on the agenda that got missed, but we went in way different directions than originally planned. Free form radio in the modern age only happens on college airwaves….and we had a TON of fun!

1. The New Christs….Born Out Of Time….played the Sonics Records 7” French press of this one and challenged the Boy From Nowhere to cover this one!! Had to get some anger out of my system due to some shit that happened today and no better way than this and the next blast o’sonic splash and free form vocalization courtesy the Boy Wonder Rob Younger. Grrrr!
2. The New Christs….No Next Time….flip of the above and the dueling guitars on this one always slay me…..so nice!
3. Downbeat 5….Kicked Around….from their debut CD dating around 2003 and on SFTRI. Singer Jen Rassler just lets loose and the anger leaves my system….whew!! Guitar crunch courtesy of DMZ vet JJ Rassler…maybe you remember him from the Queers. And he was probably a Lyre at one time or another as well. But I feel much better now.
4. The Hippies….Nuclear Disaster….from their only 7”, early 80’s and from London Ontario. This one went out to musicologist Jesse Locke who is looking for this record. And 2 of these guys are in The Boy From Nowhere…..who happen to be playing tonight at the SOHO here in London Ontario.
5. The Hippies….Can Teens….from the cassette, Slippery’s Club Hits, that came with What Wave 24 and also goes out to Jesse, as he hadn’t heard this one yet.
6. 63 Monroe….At The Boot….from the same cassette as above and recorded in 1980 at the Cedar Lounge here in town and the intro to Mr Steven R. Stunning who got caught in the Tim’s lineup due to exam week happening here on campus.
7. 63 Monroe….You Can’t See It….from the brand new Jeff LP. For late drummer Jeff Depew who did his last ever drumming on this recording.
8. 63 Monroe….Oh No You Again…. As above. Steven informed me this is a Rolling Stones song. And he did all the proper paperwork for this release.
9. 63 Monroe….Luxury….as above. And this is where Steven found out that the track order is incorrect on the LP sleeve.
10. 63 Monroe….TV Is Brain Damage…. As above.
11. 63 Monroe….Tickle Whisper Kiss…. As above.
12. 63 Monroe….Hijack Victim….from a live recording 11/26/2016 at the Dawghouse here in London. Recording by longtime CHRW host John Gardi, The NiteBat.
13. 63 Monroe….Battle Of New Orleans…. As above and this went out to local scribe Robert Pegg.
14. 63 Monroe….Weekend Punx…. As above.
15. 63 Monroe….Waiting…..from a live recording from Easter 1980 at the Cedar Lounge. I taped this one from the radio back in 1980 and it may have been recorded by Grammy winner and former CHRW host Peter Moore. He was known as Simon Less during his stint here many years ago.
16. 63 Monroe….Johnny B Goode…. As above.
17. 63 Monroe…..Road Runner…. As above
18. 63 Monroe….Bad Boy…. As above.
19. NFG….. After….. from a recording supplied by Robert Gliddon, bass player for NFG, the pre-cursor to 63 Monroe. Probably from 1979.
20. NFG….House Of The Rising Sun…. as above.
21. NFG….Give ‘Em Up… as above.
22. 63 Monroe……Punk Rock Goalie….from the recent Jeff LP
23. 63 Monroe…..Horizontal Hold….from the Hijack Victim LP on Rave Records out of Italy.

Big Thanx to Steven R. Stunning for taking the time to join us and answer a load of stupid questions, live on air. It was a blast, and judging by the feedback I’ve received so far, people had fun listening to us old farts yammer about things long gone!

Thanx for all the crazy phone calls, emails, facebook messages and texts!!

Radio What Wave Extra Long Show Playlist April 7/2017

We started this show at 3:30 (Thanx to our Program Director Ando for giving us the extra time!) and the first half hour was pretty much all Uranus recordings. Uranus recordings as they will be inducted into the Jack Richardson London Music Hall Of Fame this Sunday. The show is happening at the London Music Hall, starts at 7PM and is a free show! Hope to see lots of you out at this event!

Then around 4PM we did the world radio premier of 63 Monroe’s latest LP, Jeff, which is dedicated to the late Jeff Depew, drummer in many of London’s finest bands over the last 20 or so years!

Then we had a special guest in Dave Dysart, guitarist for UIC who are returning to London Ontario for the first time in about 25 years! Dave is the new guy, but familiar to most of us via The Supreme Bagg Team and he has worked with most of the members of UIC in other projects over the years. We yammered like 2 old farts after having way too many beers and had a lot of laughs. Learned a few things too!! UIC will be at Call The Office on Saturday night with Boy From Nowhere and Myrtle Earle.

1. Uranus....Highschool….recorded live at the Embassy Hotel 3/22/1982 and broadcast on CHRW. Probably recorded live by Peter Moore.
2. Uranus….Route 66….live recording from a car show in Toronto and broadcast on CFNY, probably 1980.
3. Uranus….Around And Around….recorded live at Kellys Boogie Parlour and broadcast over the airwaves of CKSL here in London….early 80’s? Kellys later became Bullwinkles, which became Hard Times, then a mall and much later Salt Lounge and even later….
4. Uranus….Maybe Baby…..recorded live at Call the Office 10/27/12 as part of the Graphic Underground: London 1977-1990 art show and extravaganza.
5. Uranus…..Secret Agent…. As above.
6. Uranus….You’re So Square….from the 1980 Trilogy LP You’re So Square….this is the song that made top 10 across Canada and number 3 on CKSL in 1980.
7. Uranus….53 Buick….from the You’re So Square LP
8. Uranus….Along The Watchtower…. As above.
9. 63 Monroe….Punk Rock Goalie….from the brand new LP called Jeff, for late drummer Jeff Depew. This is most likely the radio debut as the record just came out this past Wednesday when 63 Monroe played at Rumrunners as part of the Jack Richardson London Music week. Also on the bill that eve was The Mongrels and Black Donnellys.  Great turnout and a really fun eve of music!
10. UIC….Pushed In To The Hole….from the brand new Wiseman Sessions that came out on Yeah Right Records. The record release party is happening Saturday night at Call The Office and at this point, we were joined by Dave Dysart, guitar player for UIC.
11. Boy From Nowhere….. Southward Bound….recorded live at the Dawghouse, 11/26/16 and the Boy are one of 2 (the other Myrtle Earle) combos opening up for UIC on Saturday night.
12. Boy From Nowhere….Back In The USA….. as above.
13. The Supreme Bagg Team…. Crankin’ With Elvis….from the Mr Garager’s Neighbourhood LP on OG Records from 1989. The Bagg Team was a band that Dave Dysart was in and they appeared on a couple of What Wave compilation cassettes as well. In my opinion, my fave tune by these guys and this shoulda been a hit!!
14. The Supreme Bagg Team….20^th Century Dog Faced Boy….from their only longplayer, Stereo on OG Records.
15. UIC….Light It And Fly….from the Wiseman Sessions LP.
16. UIC….Outta Hand….from the Wiseman Sessions LP.
17. UIC….Green Lady…..from the Wiseman Sessions LP.
18. UIC…2 + 2….from a rarities CD that Dave brought and most likely from the Accusonic demos from 1985.
19. UIC….Blade In The Back…. As above.
20. UIC…..Who’ll Start The End….. as above.
21. UIC….Cure The War…. As above.
22. UIC…..Our Garage….recorded live at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto 9/16 and the only recording we have of Dave in the band.  Dave Dysart has only played 2 shows so far with UIC, but as he says, rehearsed a TON of times!
23. UIC….Crop Dusting….live recording from Call The Office 3/16/1985. This one goes out to regular listener Mike Burton as he phoned to ask if UIC was going to play this tune at the show.
24. UIC…..Shamrock Bang…. As above.
25. UIC…..I Got Nerve…. As above.
26. UIC…..Let’s Work Together…. As above
27. UIC….Telephone…. as above.

29. UIC….All Together Now…. As above.
30. UIC…..You Drive Mad…. As above.
31. UIC...I’m Alive… as above
32. The Chickens….Chicken Ride….from the Prepare To Plug In CD from 2000. 4/5 of this band was UIC and this same 4/5 are in the present UIC…..make sense?   Ken Mikalauskas was the other guitar player in The Chickens,  he moved out east and Dave Dysart came in when UIC reformed to do one show a year ago. Since then, they’ve played one more and Saturday marks their 3^rd show!
33. The Chickens….White Squirrel Town…. As above. We played this song as UIC will most likely be playing this on Saturday night.
34. UIC….Rich Kids….from the Wiseman Sessions and we had to fade this out as we more than ran out of time.

Huge Thanx to Dave Dysart for taking the time to come onair and yammer about UIC and things from days gone by. Hope you listeners had as much fun as I did!!!

Sunday is the annual Jack Richardson London Music Awards happening at London Music Hall. Uranus will be inducted into the hall of fame that night and play a couple of songs live. We're nominated in one of the categories....and it's free!   See you on Sunday night!

Next week will be a Good Friday show and we’ll continue with the almost all local tunes with a few new releases that have been dropped off at HQ…..Thanx to all the bands that take the time to send us stuff!!!

Iceland still rocks, there are no fuckin elves. Funk tourists and fuck everybody that plays music in Iceland.

I FOUND ALVIN STARDUST'S FIRST UK ALBUM , RECENTLY. I've always liked what little I'd heard , but , apart from a couple of singles , I've never seen anything turn up. In fact , I already found a Shane Fenton (Stardust's previous hit venture in the 60's , where he assumed the identity of his band's previous frontman , who had died suddenly . ) CD comp, years earlier.  The Stardust LP is surprisingly good , at times ,           T Rex/Slade good. His vocal style owes a lot to Gene Vincent and Vince Taylor.    In fact , so did his stage personna.  So , if you like the Chinnichap/Mike Leander sound , and are at all intrigued by Glam's more than casual flirtations with Rockabilly , seek him out.

Two recent programs of Revolution Rock featured intervew with members of Guided By Voices.  I speak with Doug Gillard (who currenlty plays with the band and originally played with the band from 1997-2004) and Tobin Sprout who played with the band from 1992-1996 and again when they reformed from 2010-2014.  The shows also feature music from Guided By Voices, Gem, Doug Gillard, Tobin Sprout, Brain James, Zoom, Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs, The Clash, The Evaporators and Iggy & The Stooges and several others.
