Take a trip beyond the obvious. Join Mister Stick in the UFO Show for Unknown, Forgotten, and Obscure rock and roll.

Ready to drop some acid? Mister Stick recommends the brown kind, no matter what that guy at Woodstock had to say about it.

This week on The UFO Show, we give the whole mission to the Brown Acid series of fuzz-bombed heavy rock from Riding Easy Records. There are seventeen volumes (or 'trips') in the series, and Stick will give you one dose from each edition, working from the first issue to the most recent.

Play or download starting at 1900 Saturday (7 PM, US east coast time) from mixcloud.com/mrstick

Hear the big-belt-buckle breaking, custom-painted-van stopping sounds of The Heat Exchange, Fiberglass Vegetables, Frozen Sun, Crazy Louie, Nobody's Children, and a dozen more bands that couldn't score a hit, but could score some Orange Sunshine. 

Need help coming down? Write Mister Stick at misterstickufo@gmail.com, for counseling.

Mission 024 will be added to Mixcloud Saturday, January 13, 2024 at 1900 hours, Eastern US time. 

All UFO Show flights are always available for on-demand play, whenever the mood strikes.  

Be sure to follow, favorite, write home about, and so forth. 

Take a trip beyond the obvious. Join Mister Stick in the UFO Show for Unknown, Forgotten, and Obscure rock and roll. 

 On Mission 023, we fly through time tunnels and across national and cultural borders digging up choice cuts that stretch from the '50s through the this, the twenty-first century.

Hear a few cuts from the catalog of the great too-soon-forgotten Chicago label USA Records. And Stick throws in some rockabilly gems, fiery examples of late-model punk, Australian psych, Japanese and Singaporean singles, and the best damn song to ever come from UFO HQ, Toledo, Ohio.

Play or download starting at 1900 Saturday (7 PM, US east coast time) from mixcloud.com/mrstick

Wig out to the Count Bishops, The Collins Kids, The Chords, Alice Stuart, Rita Chao, Cosmic Psychos, Cherry Slush, and more, more, more!

Garage Heads -

Just posted to Mixcloud last night (Jan. 6):

Mister Stick's UFO Show, Mission 022.

mixcloud.com/mrstick

For the first mission of 2024, Mister Stick concentrates solely on the Pebbles collections of lost 1960s garage rock singles. Hear raw garage punk and psychedelic gems from fifteen different volumes of the series that brought garage, trash, psych, and fuzz back in the 1980s.

You'll dig the Magic Mushrooms, The Starfires, The Others, Randy Alvey & Green Fuz, The Rally Packs and a whole lot more. Plus, Stick will clue you in on how Pebbles got started and name his favorite track from the whole series.

Got to know more? Write Mister Stick at misterstickufo@gmail.com, and he'll open his Rockipedia to help.

Mission 022 will be added to Mixcloud Saturday, January 6, 2024 at 1900 hours, Eastern US time.

All UFO Show flights are always available for on-demand play, whenever the mood strikes.  

Thanks for listening, following, favoriting, writing home about, and so forth.

Weirdoes Of The World Unite!

I'll be oh-so-honored to find that any of the folks in this particular compartment should give some ear time to my Mixcloud series, The UFO Show, where we serve up the Unkknown, Forgotten, and Obscure: mixcloud.com/mrstick

"What the hell kind of show is this, anyway?"

Well, garage, psych, and more, I s'ppose. And in the modus of a hosted radio show. It ain't just a playlist, but a deluxe platter, with fries and a pickle.

Look, imagine one of those Venn diagrams, right? Now the center circle is 60s garage, setting aside the 'big winners' of the Nuggets Universe. Anything that I think connects to that middle ring, or that connects to the connection is eligible for inclusion, as long as I'm not hearing it on the Little Steven channel. So, I'm grabbing from Back From The Grave, Pebbles, and comps of more recent like-minded rock and roll, then attaching whatever I can argue into sitting next to that. So, some left-behind soul, fringed Americana, maybe-its-kinda-prog-I-don't-know, second-tier punk... Like that. Nobody has tried to overthrow me yet.

Everything is from my own stash... No ripping off YouTube or those creeps at Spotify.

New shows posted every Saturday night at 1900 hours Eastern US time. Seasons last 13 or 14 shows, and then there's a equivalent break so's you can catch up. Right now, middle of season dos.

Got it? Damn good of you.

Grateful and then some,

Stick

Sheena's Jungle Room is a definite must-listen ????

I actually put some emoji's on there like four thumbs-up's but they got translated to "?" somehow. So that should be much more positive like:

Sheena's Jungle Room is a definite must-listen !!!!

It's awesome I listen all the time

Sheena's Jungle Room is a definite must-listen ????

Thanks, Chuck!  Yeah, Kogar's great. His "Lux and Ivy's Favorites" comps that he posted on the WFMU blog were among the first things I added to the Sheena's auto-DJ stream.

btw, in the years since I first wrote this post, a direct link to the Jungle Room has been added:  

https://wfmu.org/sheena

as well as numerous live DJs that any garage-punker will want to dig: Don Bolles (ya know, him from The Germs, 45 Grave, etc), Alex Kish, hysterica, the "Born Too late" crew. With sporadic punkiness popping up thru-out other shows.

Cool, your show seems pretty great.  It seems similar to Kogar's Jungle Juice on Bossradio66 (Formerly known as "Rock & Soul Ichiban") on WFMU.

Once upon a time when I owned and ran this website, I/we released a series of compilations from bands who had members here. This was back when the site was actually somewhat active, with, ya know, people USING it... posting and whatnot. ANYHOO, this series is still available from the current owner (not me) on Bandcamp if you wanna grab 'em. They're pretty damned good if I (still) say so myself. 

But after I/we released a whopping TEN volumes of this series containing a staggering 240 total tracks, I/we had lots of worthy leftovers that never made the cut to be included in the series. A few years ago I compiled a bunch of these songs and put them up as a 3-part Mixcloud series. Here are those links:

https://www.mixcloud.com/theekopper/garagepunk-hideout-unknowns-pt-1/
https://www.mixcloud.com/theekopper/garagepunk-hideout-unknowns-pt-2/

Now, the THIRD one is indeed a collection of "unknowns" in that I have no idea anymore what bands released these songs. So if you were a member of the site back then and were in one of these bands and/or recognize any of these tracks, then by all means, let I/us know! Post below. It would be great to get as many of these tracks identified. Here is that link:
