Radio What Wave Playlist Oct 31/2013
Originally this was going to be a Halloween oriented show with the inclusion of a live to air with one man band Fireball Grant. Things changed when we got the news about Lou Reed....hence the following playlist.
1. The Gruesomes....Bikers From Hell...from the Hey CD on Ricochet Sound. This is an 85 basement demo, called The Garbage Pail Kids Demo.
2. The Beechnuts...Cycle Annie...from a 1962 compilation LP called Soundsville on Pickwick Records. No doubt that this is Lou Reed on vocals.
3. The Regulators....Satellite Of Love....live recording from Halloween 1979 at the Polish Hall. Local combo heavily influenced by Lou and The Velvet Underground. Had to play this, so i could turn over the Soundsville compilation LP.
4. The Roughnecks...You're Driving Me Insane...another song from the Soundsville compilations LP, and yep, it's Lou all right!
