5. The Mogs...Run Like Hell...as above.
6. The Mogs...Swamp Love...as above.

12.Blackie and The Rodeo Kings...Stoned...from the BARK CD. They will be headlining at Aeolian Hall on sunday night.
13. Blackie and The Rodeo Kings...Something On My Mind...from the Let's Frolic Again CD. Teenage Head cover, but you already knew that.
14. Blackie and The Rodeo Kings...49 Tons....from the Kings Of Love CD. I just love the lyrics in this one as it creates so much tension and you can almost feel the world coming down on you.
There was supposed to be a hockey game starting at this time. Our News Director wasn't told about the change to 7:30 and he kept asking me to play for a few more minutes as he was sure the hockey game was supposed to be starting. Then there was a big argument in the background as some piece of equipment wasn't working and it was going to screw up the game broadcast. As always, mass confusion makes for a better radio show....hahahaha
15. Junkhouse...Praying For The Rain....from a promo CD that came in a box of beer, hence the cheesy intro to this one. Tom Wilson, who is in Blackie and The Rodeo Kings was vocalist/guitarist for this combo.
16. Junkhouse...Hello Mystery...from a 1992 zine called Cool Soundzine, that came out of Hamilton. As did almost all of the bands on tonite's show.
17. Junkhouse...Jet Trash....from the Fuzz CD. There's some killer guitar sonics on this release and believe it or not, this combo got lots of play on the local yokel FM stations in sleepy London Ontario....and they would pack Call The Office regularly and singer Tom Wilson would yell out 'What Wave' as he spotted us in the crowd and the crowd wouldn't have a clue what he was talking about....hahaha...
18. Florida Razors...Let's Go...from the Beat Music LP. Hamilton based rock'n'roll band that had Tom Wilson as vocalist and guitarist.
19. Florida Razors...New York City....as above.
20. Radio 4....I Don't Wanna Go To New York City....local combo from the early 80's and it's on Slippery's Club Hits, the cassette that comes with What Wave 24, available locally and at Star Records in Oshawa.
21. The Only Ones....Another Girl, Another Planet.....Peel demo from Apr 1978....hear the difference between this version and the released version? This one is shorter, no keyboards and slightly more abrasive guitars.
22. The Hippies...Can Teens....from Slippery's Club Hits and had to cut this off as the hockey game was about to start.
Thanx to everyone for listening, especially those that listen each and every week!! Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!
