Radio What Wave Playlist September 22/2016
1. The Franklys....Weasel....from a compilaton CD called Just What The Doctor Ordered that came with the latest edition of Vive Le Rock! magazine from the UK. This particular issue has a big long interview/article on Dr Feelgood and has a general pub rock ambience. The Franklys are from the UK.
2. TVD....I'd Kiss You Honey But You're Standing On My Bottom Lip...from their brand new Salvation Through Distraction CD and they are from London Ontario. TVD are their initials and you can catch them every now and again at Call The Office here in town.
3. Bath Salts....2 Red Roses....from the brand new Mardi Gras CD and also from London. In fact, we had guitarist/vocalist Chris on air a coupla weeks back to premiere this CD.
4. Coaching For Sara....These People...from their recent self titled CD and also from London Ontario. They have a few shows this weekend, including 2 tomorrow night...check their facebook page for details.
5. Flamin' Groovies....And Your Bird Can Sing....from the Gold Star Tapes EP on Skydog Records. This is the start of our Beatles covers set as their is a Beatles Fest happening here in London this weekend. Also a display happening at Weldon Library at Western University here in town with a few of our collectibles on display for a month or so. Pictures to follow at some point.
6. Siouxsie and The Banshees....Helter Skelter....from the 1978 Scream LP, an album that got TONS of play at our place when it first came out!
7. Wilson Pickett....Hey Jude....from the Duane Allman Anthology double LP and this recording is from 1968. A Muscle Shoals recording and there's a doc on Net Flicks on this studio that's well worth checking out.
8. Flamin' Groovies....There's A Place...from their 1978 LP Now. The Groovies were one of the few combos on a major label hyping the 60's Brit invasion sounds in the mid 70's and lucky for us (or maybe just me?), they're back together still pumping out the sounds! Check out guitarist Cyril Jordan's column in the brand new Ugly Things that just came out a coupla weeks back....locally Grooves Records stocks it.
9. The Hook Up....Bellringer....from their soon to be released Cruel Sounds CD. This goes out to the brand new addition, Frances who arrived early this week!
10. Light Bulb Alley....I Only Got 2 Feet...from their brand new Bright Side Of The Dumpster CD and from Montreal.
11. The Cavemen....I'd Kill....brand new 7" on Dirty Water Records out of the UK, but these kids are from New Zealand.
12. UIC....Heartache...from the about to be released Wiseman Sessions LP on Yeah Right Records. The big party happens tomorrow night in Toronto with UIC playing The Horseshoe along with Leather Uppers and Adaptor 45. First UIC Toronto show in 20 years! Be there or....
13. UIC....What I Want....from a live recording 3/16/1985 at Call The Office here in London Ontario. At one point there was video of a couple of these songs on youtubes with some long haired geezer dancing like a buffoon at the front of the stage. Think I saw that same geezer at the Barrence Whitfield and The Savages show in Hamilton the other night with the same dance? moves.
14. UIC....Crop Dusting....as above and an anthem for UIC fans!
15. UIC....Shamrock Bang...as above and another UIC anthem!
16. UIC....I Got Nerve....as above and I certainly do for playing 5 UIC songs in a row! Self indulgence that satisfies the soul!
17. Brown Hornets....Rooftop Sniper....from their only release, the self titled CD from 2007. From Oshawa and played here a few times, always bringing the roof down with their screaming rock/soul/dance sounds!!
18. Humble Pie....Black Coffee....from the 1973 double LP Eat It! Vocalist Steve Marriott (you all remember him from The Small Faces, one of the greatest combos to come out of the UK in the mid 60's!) insisted on having some female back up singers on this one, and they really added to the sound! And the young ladies did the next Humble Pie tour as well!
19. Etta James....Security...from a Greatest Hits compilation on Chess Records and from 1968 and recorded at Muscle Shoals.
20. The Inmates....Mr Unreliable...from their 1979 LP called First Offence. The lead off track on this LP is a cover of The Standells Dirty Water that got loads of airplay when released.
21. Barrence Whitfield and the Savages....Bloody Mary....from their 1989 LP Live Emulsified on Rounder Records. Had the immense pleasure of catching these guys at This Ain't Hollywood on tuesday night...haven't danced so much since the last time BW and The Savages came to Canada!! Loads of fun, grins all around and people boppin' up and down like it was back in the early days of the punk rock era!!! Can't wait till they come back up this way!
22. Barrence Whitfield and the Savages....Rockin' The Mule In Kansas....as above.
23. Chixdiggit!....I Remember You....from their 2005 CD, Pink Razors and they are in town sunday night at Call The Office.
24. Buzz Deluxe....100% Something....from their Us Against You CD from 2008 and from somewhere north of Toronto. Rockabilly duo that used to play London fairly regularly.
25. Hasil Adkins....Gone Gone Gone....from his What The Hell Was I Thinking CD on Fat Possum Records from 1997. Indeed, what the Hell was Hasil thinking when he recorded this one....LOL....Hasil was the King of the one man bands before there was even such a thing. Dig out your old What Wave zines to read an interview or 2 with Hasil and then check out some of his many releases on Norton Records.
Big Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! And big Thanx to the Boy From Nowhere for rockin' the St Regis Hotel last saturday night!
Back again next week with lots more noise to annoy!
