One of my favorite biker songs is Zeke's "Chiva Knievel" that includes some killer motorcycle engine revving!

Show #352: "The Eggman Collection #106"

Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows called The Eggman Collection which is a big potpourri of every song I've ever liked in my life...EVER! It's literally a huge mixing bowl full of songs written onto tiny pieces of paper. Over 15,000 songs that I've been compiling for the past 20-plus years of my life. Every song I've ever liked has gone into this bowl, and every three weeks I draw them out one-by-one and play them for you in no particular order. A mix of everything and anything I like, no matter what genre, era, style or year of release...if I like it, then I'll play it! No repeats of the same song ever! Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 106th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: Matching Mole, Los Vidrios Quebrados, High Tide, The Rock Shop, The Beatles, The Gods, Jon, Faine Jade, The Yo Yo's, Eclection, Them, Leonard Cohen, John Cale, Kensington Market, The Flame, The Zombies, Funkadelic, Spontaneous Combustion, Saint Just, and many many others!!!

I can only find Gulcher releasing CD's, not vinyl, or Hoosier Hysteria. I don't believe it was them, but thanks.

Was it Gulcher Records? They've put out a bunch of Gizmos stuff (great shit, too!). But I can't find a website for 'em anymore...

If you're not in favor of airing your grievances publicly you can always just DM me.

My favourite thing is actually not the podcasts, I rarely listen to them. I am always impressed when I do, but it's always a question of time with me, and I just don't have the free time nowadays...  My favourite thing is however, the amount of people that post on here that are NOT from North America.  I live in Atlantic Canada, and more specifically a fairly culture-less part of the east coast.  So to read the thoughts and opinions of people that are based so far away is awlays of interest to me.

 

I do have a least favourite thing about this place, but as it is a free service and the good greatly out weighs the bad ( more of a slight greivence really ) I feel it would be looking a gift horse in the mouth to complain.  

 

Blah blah blah,

Ah, well you're always welcome to start one of your own! ;)

AFTER you get done listening to our latest shows on GaragePunk Pirate Radio, you should treat yourself to the Goner Records Radio stream on eMusic:

And help support one of the greatest rock'n'roll record labels around. :)

Cheers,

P.S. We've gotta figure out how to set up one o' them eMusic program thingies...

I've heard that about him, very cool...It would be very interesting to hear his take on your song "How 'Bout I Slap Your Shit"!

Let me add my own little "Yeah" for Erik, who has been a true indie music supporter for DECADES. The style posers will always come and go, but the true believers like Erik keep this music alive, against all odds.

Erik, the major economic issues you face are faced by us all -- no one is buying much product, but plenty sure are copying and "sharing it" (it's called stealing in the real world). This is putting so many indie labels and producers out of business, but won't stop anytime soon.

So I hope you will keep the faith and continue to put out great stuff! We have no other choice, lol. 

-- your friends in the Arizona desert. :)
