Playlist Sept 8/2011
On this week's show, we had Jeff Mittelholtz of The Stuntdoubles and CEO of Splattered Frog Records as a special guest. Splattered Frog Records are celebrating their 25th year with a big bash at Brennan's Beer Bistro on Sat Sept 10th with a ton of bands including The Stuntdoubles, Giggleswitch, Carnies and literally tons more. Jeff was also in the legendary Positively Stompin...', a cool combo that was way ahead of it's time, playing country influenced rock when people couldn't give a shit. Timing is everything. But shit is always on time, or whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. Enough yammering...
1. Dave Edmunds...Back To School Days...from the Get It LP from 1977. Local combo Uranus did their thesis on this LP and made a career out of it. This goes out to everyone going back to school.
2. The Carnies....Lo and Behold...local combo who mixed horns and rock'n'roll and are reuniting on Sat night.
3. Boozehounds...She Says....another local combo reuniting on saturday night.
4. The Stunt Doubles...Dough Head...another local combo who are playing Sat night, but are not reuniting cause they still play around town.
5. Giggleswitch...How Good You Look...from their VII CD and they are reuniting this saturday night. Sounds like a broken record, but all of these bands will be at the big Splattered Frog Records show on Saturday night at Brennan's Beer Bistro.
6. Positively Stompin'...Nashville Dreamin'...from their Junk Drawer CD from 1993. Nope, no reunion on Saturday night. Astute listeners will remember UIC did this song back in the 80's and even more astute listeners/trivia freaks will know that some of Positively Stompin' were in UIC...Ted and Murray.
7. 63 Monroe...Bad Bad Rawk'n'Roll...from their brand new 7" and they will be playing at Call The Office on Saturday night, which just happens to be next door to Brennan's Beer Bistro.
8. Bradleyboy...2:15...from his The Farm CD. One man blues band who will be playing tonight (friday Sept 9) at The Brass in London Ontario.
9. Bradleyboy...If You Left Me...from the Rock/Wood CD.
10. Dead Beat....Whet Beat....from the Warning CD. Hamilton surf combo.
11. MC5...High School...from the Back In The USA LP from 1970 and goes out to those lucky kids going back to highschool.
12. Electric Prunes...Too Much To Dream Last Night...a request and a really cool one. Saw these guys at Wooly Weekend in Montreal in 2009 and they are REALLY FUCKING LOUD!! And the guitar player has more effects pedals than i have brain cells. Somewhere in the Radio WW facebook page there's a picture that proves this.
13. Blue Cheer...Summertime Blues....from the Vincebus Eruptum LP and another request.
14. The Hook Up...Today and Tomorrow...from the Tomorrow and Today CD. They were at Grooves Records last saturday and put on a hot and sweaty show. They'll be back in town on Nov 5th at Brennan's Beer Bistro.
15. Light Bulb Alley...Who Do You Love...from The Sound Of Things CD.
16. Bon...Static Electricity...from the CD of the same name.
17. The Polymorphines...Poor Sicko...from The Slip CD. They will be our special guests next week and promise to play some acoustic tunes live over the airwaves just for you listeners. Then The Polymorphines play at The Black Shire Pub later in the evening with The Wormwood Scrubs and The Oily Birds.
18. The Fleshtones...Hitsburg USA...from The Solid Gold Sound LP. The Fleshtones will be playing at This Ain't Hollywood in Hamilton Ontario on Sept 26th. This is your chance to see the Greatest Rock'n'Roll show on the planet! I'll be the guy at the front of the stage jumping up and down...check out this video of their last appearance in Hamilton:

19. Mother's Children...Anything To Calm Me Down...from their Tough Enough 12".
20. The Standstills...Black Betty...from their The Human Element CD and they play The Spoke at The University Of Western Ontario Sept 16.
21. The monks...monk Time...from their 1966 LP Black monk Time. The inventors of punk rock. The greatest band to ever come out of Germany. The best dressed band of the 60's. The greatest band to ever feature a banjo as the rhythm instrument. The accolades could go on and on but i played this track as i finally read Black Monk Time by Eddie Shaw and found out the real story behind this wacky outfit. And The Fleshtones are HUGE fans of The monks.
22. The Persian Claws...Clever Way To Crawl...from the latest garagepunk.com download called Hidden Tracks.
That's it for this week. Big thanx to Jeff for coming in to mumble about Splattered Frog Records.
Next week The Polymorphines live onair prior to the evening's festivities at The Black Shire Pub.
