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.

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.

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!!!

Radio What Wave Playlist March 24/2017. Special Guest Al The Killer Coulter

1. TVD….TVD…from their debut CD, Salvation Through Distraction and they are playing tonight at the St Regis Hotel and they will be celebrating the guitarists wife’s birthday, so just about anything might happen!
2. The Fiends…..30 Something…..local combo who will be playing live to air on next week’s edition of Radio What Wave!!
3. Blasting Fondas….Saddest Excuse….from a brand new 7” on Beluga Records and from Sweden.
4. Tommy and The Rockets….Get Ready....another brand new 7” on Beluga Records and these guys come from Denmark.
5. Dany Laj and the Looks….Defending Champ….from the brand new Alive and Kicking CD and they are on a North America tour right now! We dedicated this song to Al The Killer Coulter, London pro wrestler who joined us later in the show.
6. Baby Giant…..Summer’s Almost Gone….local talent featuring Shawn McDonald (and his brother) who was in Radio What Wave faves The Fine Print and many many other bands over the years.
7. Pacanomad…..Shot The Gun….from the recent Take It Slow CD and they will be playing tonight at Aeolian Hall along with….
8. Julian Taylor Band…..Coke Bottle Candle….from the recent Desert Star CD and from Toronto.
9. Chuck Berry….Bio….from the LP of the same name where Chuck tells the story of his life. It’s a slow bluesy little number and really shows off some of Chuck’s guitar picking.
10. Chuck Berry….Maybelline….from The Great Twenty-Eight double LP. This is the song that started it all and set up the prototype for the hits to follow. Believe it or not, this came out in 1955!!! On this particular recording is the genius piano playing of Johnny Johnson (who incidentally was in London about 10 years ago), the rock solid bass playing of song writing legend Willie Dixon, rock solid drumming of Jasper Thomas and soon to be a legend maraca shaker Jerome Green (he helped create the Bo Diddly Beat!).  Absolute killer lineup that set up your basic rock’n’roll band sound that still rules to this day (at least in my books!). Can’t say enough about Johnny Johnson as it was his band that Chuck joined to start it all off. Without those essential piano licks, who knows what would have happened!

If you only want to get one Chuck Berry LP for your collection. The Great Twenty-Eight is the one to get….all the hits from 1955 right up to 1965. It’s on the Chess label (Chuck’s original record label) and comes as a double LP with a gatefold sleeve with listing of all the musicians on each track (essential for geeks like me) and a few liner notes.

1. Hiroshima Hearts….The Well….from their debut CD and they will be playing at the SOHO as an afternoon show on Sunday.
2. Pack AD…..Blackout….from the Funeral Mixtape LP from 2007.
3. Lauren Agnelli and Dave Rave….Can’t Stop The Rain….from the Confetti CD from 1997 and goes out to Lauren who celebrated a birthday this week! Lauren was a real early contributor to the NYC punk scene and went under the pseudo name of Trixie A Balm in writing for such legendary magazines as Cream, NY Rocker, Village Voice and many others. Later, she formed The Washington Squares, a folk type band that were nominated for a Grammy.
4. The Secrets….All The Girls In The World….from the OPM CD called Teenage Rampage. Late 70’s Toronto garage/frat combo that were way out of step with the rest of the punk movement at the time. This one goes out to singer Freddy Pompeii who is in the hospital in Philadelphia fighting cancer. We send our best to Freddy!!!!
5. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners…..Blast Off….from the brand new re-ish of the 1987 Hot’n’Cold LP. Can’t say enough good things about this band, Ray and the boys put on legendary shows back in the late 80’s, even came to London at least 3 times and left some great memories!!
6. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners….Worryin’ Kind….as above, just couldn’t play one song from this long time fave LP of mine!
7. Bloodshot Bill and The Hubcaps…..Touch Me….from the Crazy Fever CD that came out in 2003. This is prior to Bill going solo and touring the world on what seems like a non-ending cycle! If Bloodshot Bill comes to your town, he’ll put on a wild and sweaty show that you won’t forget!
8. Catl….Gotta Thing For You….from the Soon This Will All Be Gone CD from a couple years back. Another band you gotta check out live if they ever come to your town! They’ve put on many a killer show with Bloodshot Bill, but recently they’ve been doing more and more trips way down south to Clarksdale, where the legends say the blues all started!
9. Foreign Objects….Wrestling Is Real….from the Not Too Cool CD and recorded in 1981. This Boston area combo did a lot of wrestling and television related tunes back in that time period and this one is to start the wrestling portion of the show.
10. Foreign Objects….Rock and Wrestling Roll…. As above.
11. Tijuana Bibles….Custom Made Man…from the Custom Made CD and there might be a Leather Upper involved in this project!. Right about this time, Al The Killer Coulter arrived to talk wrestling and about the huge show happening on Sunday night at the London Music Hall. SMASH Wrestling is returning to London and they finally have a big enough venue to fit the people in comfortably! I’ve gone to several SMASH shows here in London and they’ve all been good entertainment value for the money. There’s always a few guys from the big leagues and this time is no exception as Colt Cabana, Cody Deaner, Tyson Dux, Davey Richards and many other big names will be at the show. Al layed it on the line and told us what he was going to do the young punks he and his partner Mr Atlantis were facing! I wouldn’t want to be one of those young punks!! Al also mentioned there were going to be a few surprises, but wouldn’t give out any hints…
12. Fred Blassie….Pencil Neck Geeks…..from the Rhino LP from the late 70’s and a special request by Al The Killer Coulter…..believe me, whatever Al wants, he gets!!!
13. The Dictators….Borneo Jimmy….New York New York CD on ROIR Records and Al was talking about working with Jimmy Snuka so this kind of fit in.

Big Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! And a HUGE thanx to all that came up to say HEY at the London Record Show last weekend!!! That was a blast!

And a HUGE THANX to Al The Killer Coulter for making time to chat with us on air about all things wrestling. If you haven’t figured it out, I’m a huge wrestling fan for Ring Of Honor and Lucha Underground wrestling leagues!

Next week, we’ve got a live to air to kick things off as The Fiends are going to be playing live just after 4PM if everything works out technically! There’s a TON of work that goes on in the background to make these things happen and I’d like to thank our tech crew in advance as they are the best!!

24. Matt Lucas…..Movin’ On….from a 7” given to me by Jack Whiteside, guitarist/vocalist for Uranus. Jack worked as Matt’s guitarist for a summer, a learning experience that Jack still uses to this day.

27. Evan Johns…..Rollin’ Through The Night….from the LP of the same name from the mid 80’s and recorded in 1982. This record was released on Alternative Tentacles as Jello Biafra was a huge fan of Evan’s! This is probably my fave Evan Johns LP as every track is an absolute gem of a song! Opener Vacation Time is such a classic song and brings the whole element of a vacation out in its lyrics! If you want to peruse the musical library of Evan Johns, this is a great place to start!
28. Evan Johns…..If I Had My Way….from the self titled LP from 1986 on Jungle Records. I have many records on the Jungle label and all are great rock’n’rollers.

Radio What Wave Playlist February 24/2017 Black History Month Special

Since February is Black History Month, it’s time to do another special on Radio What Wave. This time, we quickly covered a couple of the Canadian bands of African decent that have appeared at the local Sunfest Festival here in London. From there, we covered some of the early Toronto reggae scene, Toronto 60’s soul scene and into the later reggae scene. Then we went to Vancouver for a quick listen to some of their mid 60’s soul/R&B and back to London to cover Joey Hollingsworth, a name you’re going to be hearing a lot about shortly. One of the few punk/new wave combos from this area that featured black performers was The Dice….and we talked about their London Ontario connection. Then it was off to Jamaica for some real reggae! Hope you enjoyed the sounds on this show!

1. Marcellus Wallace…..Brothers and Sisters….from their self titled debut CD and from London Ontario.
2. Marcellus Wallace….Movin’ On Up…. As above.  One can only hope the band can get back together as they blew me away when opening up for Barrence Whitfield and The Savages almost 2 years ago!
3. Mighty Popo…..Turaje….from the Ngagara CD from 2003 and from Ottawa. Canadian Afrobeat!
4. Tarig Abubakar and the Afro Nubarians…..Yuma….from the Live CD from 1995 and from Toronto. Saw this combo a few times at Sunfest and they always got the crowd up and moving! My favourite show we saw by them, was when they  played the one off Winter Sunfest at the Western Fair and had a building full of people up and groovin’ to the tunes.
5. Alpha Ya Ya Diallo….Gugha…from his Futur CD from 1996 and based in Vancouver.
6. Ishan Band…..Egzebier….from the Last Pogo LP and the only non-white, non-punk band on the record.  Recorded in 1978 as part of the closing of the Horseshoe Tavern for punk/new wave combos and there’s an excellent documentary on this event called The Last Pogo and the more recent The Last Pogo Jumps Again, both by Colin Brunton (whom we had on Radio What Wave at the time of the latter’s release). Colin is presently producer of the CBC comedy Schitt’s Creek which is now on Netflix.
7. Noel Ellis….Memories…from the Jamaica To Toronto Soul Funk and Reggae compilation and we’ll be hearing lots more from this compilation. Noel is the son of legendary Jamaican artist Alton Ellis and this recording is from 1983.
8. Johnnie Osbourne….African Wake…. As above and from 1974.
9. Jackie Shane….Dual Trumpet Bounce….from his mid 60’s Live LP on Caravan Records. A big star in the 60’s Toronto soul scene, but troubled due to gender difficulties and disappeared for decades until found for a short time. Flamboyant and talented, Jackie could have been a major star in a different place and time! This LP has been re-ished on the OPM imprint out of Toronto.
10. Jackie Shane….High Heel Sneakers…..as above and this LP is from 1967.
11. Shirley Matthews….Big Town Boy….from the original 7” and a big hit in Canada in1963!
12. The Majestics….Sweet Soul Music….from the CTV After 4 compilation LP that came out around 1968. This was for the television show of the same name that I watched as a kid. Bought the LP back when it came out and still have it to this day!
13. Eddie Spencer….If This Is Love…..from the Jamaica To Toronto Soul Funk and Reggae compilation as heard earlier and this track is from 1967.
14. Jo Jo and the Fugitives…..Chips Chicken Banana Split…..from 1968 and from the same comp as above. Big Thanx to Alicks Gee who was the CHRW Music Director when this comp came out as she introduced me to it and played this tune many times on her Magical Mystery Mondays radio show on CHRW.
15. Jackie Mitoo….Grand Funk….from the same comp as above and from 1971.
16. Trials Of Jayson Hoover…..King Size….from the compilation LP The History of Vancouver Rock And Roll Volume 2 and this is the lead track for our short listen to some Vancouver soul. Way different than the Toronto variety as Vancouver was more influenced by the US West coast and even Mexico! This track is from 1966.
17. Night Train Revue…..Walk On The Wild Side…..as above and from the mid 60’s.
18. Little Daddy and The Bachelors…..Too Much Monkey Business….from the same compilation as above and from 1965. This features future comedy star Tommy Chong on lead guitar as does the next track!
19. Little Daddy and The Bachelors……Junior’s Jerk…..both this, and the above track were from their 1965 7” and on The History of Vancouver Rock And Roll Volume 2 LP.
20. Joey Hollingsworth…..In The Mood…..from the mid 60’s and played this from Youtube, first time I’ve ever done this on the radio as I don’t own anything by Joey Hollingsworth. Joey is from London and you’ll be hearing lots more about him in the not too distant future.
21. Joey Hollingsworth…..Little Dandelion….as above. Joey was most known as a tap dancer, appearing on Ed Sullivan, Mr Rogers and many many CBC television appearances.
22. The Dice….Young and The Wild….from their first 7” from 1980 and were based in Toronto at this time. Punk/new wave trio in which 2 of the band members were black which was pretty well unheard of in Canada at this time. Caught them a few times here in London at the Cedar Lounge. They did a live to air on Fanshawe College radio approx. 1980 and I’ve been searching for a copy of it since hearing it live! Any help appreciated.
23. The Dice….Typical Lies…..from their 12” from 1983.  Singer/guitarist Gary Lima went on to Fanshawe College as head of the Music Industry Arts program for awhile and drummer Hayden Vialva is currently here in London drumming for blues bands and other projects. We had Hayden on the radio several years back.
24. The Dice…..Chayla….their hit from their self titled debut LP from 1984. Lots of airplay on Much Music garnered them some success!
25. Jimmy Cliff….The Harder They Come….from the compilation and the movie of the same name.
26. Tommy McCook….Work Your Soul….from the compilation CD of the same name and features mid 60’s Trojan recordings from Jamaica.
27. Lloyd and Glen…..Mini Skirt and Go Go Boots…..from the same compilation as above. Just love the sound on these 2 recordings as it’s so primitive, yet alive and vibrant at the same time!
28. Boris Gardener……Melting Pot…..from a 1973 LP called Is What’s Happening on the Jamaican Dynamic Sounds label, yet it says licensed by Trans World Records from Montreal on the rear cover.  Very cool Memphis influenced reggae soul!!
29. Norma Fraser…..Respect….from a Studio One Soul compilation CD and originally released in 1967.
30. The Maytones…..Sha La La….from the Trojan Records compilation called Tight Rock from the mid 60’s. Way cool compilation LP I picked up the other day.
31. Fela Kuti…..Zombie…..from his Greatest Hits CD and didn’t get to play the full length as Jessie arrived for his show. Fela is one of my faves and there was a documentary on Netflix recently, that blended footage from the Broadway play about Fela with live footage and interviews with band and management. This song goes out to what is happening south of the border these days.

Big Thanx for all the emails, facebook messages and phone calls!!  This was a fun show to put together and barely skimmed the surface of Black music. Do yourself a favour, check out your local record haunts and pick up some soul, reggae, blues, Afrobeat and just about any other form of Black music and you might be in for a huge surprise!! Most of the records I’ve been buying lately are by Black artists and I’m really enjoying finding so many musical treasures! It’s great to keep an open ear to different styles of music!

Next week we’ll be doing a special on London’s Legend Killers, a band that released an EP on What Wave Records as well as appeared on all our compilations but one!  We’ll be playing many studio tracks as well as some audio of their very first club gig here in town from  1985…..it might really surprise you!!  And we’ve got a stack of new releases just waiting to be  played!

20. Bounty Hunters….Echo Express….from Strummin’ Mental Volume 1 compilation LP. There were at least 6 volumes of this crazy guitar instro madness, supposedly dated from 1957 to 1964.  These are the kind of records you should be searching for at the upcoming London Record Show on Sunday March 19^th at Centennial Hall.
21. The Surfdusters….Gruesome….from the Surf After Dark CD from 1997 and from Canada’s west coast. This song is probably dedicated to those tyrants of teen trash, The Gruesomes!

31. Amy Rigby…..Dancing With Joey Ramone…..from the Little Fugitive CD from 2005.
32. The Polymorphines……Billy Hates Sunday….from their self titled CD from 2008 and from Ottawa. Oddly (or coincidentally) I was wearing a Polymorphines T-shirt during this show.
33. Blood On The Saddle…..Bed Of Roses….from the Poison Love Lp from 1985 and part of the cowpunk thing that happened during this era. Singer Annette was in the original lineup of The Bangles. Caught this combo a couple of times at Key West and they put on a really good live show!
34. Torquemadas…..Teenage Head….from a 1989 New Zealand compilation LP called Positive Vibrations. This is NOT the Flamin’ Groovies tune, nor named after the band of the same name. Just some teenagers having some fun with rock’n’roll!

Live to air with Coaching For Sara on this show and we had to say goodbye to Bobby Freeman, Dave Vucenich, Robert Lundquist and forgot to mention Ritchie Yorke. We’ll do a proper goodbye to Mr Yorke next week. Always assumed he was Canadian as he was SOOOO instrumental in the Canadian music scene from the late 60’s to mid 70’s….ie he got John Lennon to do his first live show in many years in Toronto, helped create Cancon which is still intact to this day and wrote the first book on the history of Canadian music.

8. Hellacopters….Slowdown….from the Cream Of The Crap Volume 2 CD and goes out to guitarist Robert Lundquist who passed away way too young! Caught The Hellacopters once or maybe twice at Call The Office…once was 12/8/1998 which was probably with the New Bomb Turks.
9. Rob Sweeney….My Funny Valentine….from his I Dig Chicks CD and former Purple Toad and Durango 95 guitar slinger. Presently in Crummy Stuff with former Hippie Brian Young and former Purple Toad Marky Toad.

18. Coaching For Sara…..Show
19. Coaching For Sara…..Matter Of Time

22. Alice Cooper….Be My Lover…..from the Greatest Hits LP that I bought way back in high school!
23. Bobby Freeman…..Do You Wanna Dance….from the LP of the same name and goes out to Bobby who passed away last month. A song covered and made into a hit by many, including The Beach Boys and The Ramones.
24. The Cynics….I Live Alone….from a 7” and goes out to former bass player Dave Vucenich who passed away earlier this week. Dave was a long time Cynic and also heavily involved in the Mount McKinleys and a huge collector of 60’s garagepunk records.

Back again next week with a proper Ritchie Yorke trib and lots more noise to annoy!!   And Big Thanx to our production manager Ando, for letting me do these live to airs and for getting a proper image on the CHRW webpage!

Hi everybody, we're the Tasty Wangs!  We're new to the group and just wanted to say hello and that we're glad to be here.

music can also be given away for free,

to circumvent taxes.

One type of law is the "necessity law,"

an on the books concension over that which democratic republics during their evolution, because of fascism, or even because of libertarian individual foolishness, have promoted to be essential to public wellbeing. A Communist sentiment of For the greater social good.

Necessity laws invade free will,

are advertised to promote and enable freedom as their only intended purpose.

Drug laws, and laws which out of paranoia invade the rights of Muslims and other kinds of dissidents. 

Tax dollars may fund necessity law institutions and laws, such as Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Acts which permit the arrest of nearly any kind of Muslim, and the DEA. I wouldn't want to fund the arrest,

in proposing solutions: telepathic economy which exchanges dollar for dollar taxed income over to a 1/10th tithed to the Jihading Sufi / Buddhist global system. 1/10th of the income scientific method alloted to most effective attempted utopian military evolution, all property switched over to an anarchist underground economy.

An anarchist slack economy may also be proposed, wherein no % of income is dedicated to anything other than the discretion of the individuals consenting to dollar for dollar tax free exchange, and bartering. And social attempts to induce global slack from disciplined evolving.

For bands that cannot use other kinds of economic systems, promotional advice, including on art patronage resources? Stories of having lived as such bands legally?

I was wondering if anyone here had any saved Hot Slop podcasts?

My computer recently pooped out and I lost a lot of stuff, that podcast being a main thing. I've tried to find it through Google searches, soulseek and even torrents, but i've come up with nothing.

Alternatively, if any on knows of any current soul podcasts that are similar, i'd love some recommendation!
