    • Never thought about that....But , there's only one set of Heartbreakers to me , and Tom Petty was'nt frontin' 'em. When we were deluged with Petty on the radio in the very late 70's - 80's , I'm sure a LOT of his songs were misheard , in humorous ways. Granted , compared to a lot of the crap that passed for "Rock" at that time , I guess Petty's early hits did'nt age THAT badly.....

      Eagles "Life in The Fast Lane" - "We've been up and down this highway , have'nt seen a goddamn thing"   "We've been up and down this highway , have'nt seen The Camptown Race".

    • Its very difficult to be absolutely period perfect. The Hi Class Joes are trying to replicate the sound and look of an early British Beat band. We dress the part and also use all vintage equipment. I would have to say that we are probably the best band in Britain at the moment playing that early Beat and RnB sound. We have an lp out soon on Soundflat.

    • I agree, I was just pointing out his new stuff, I have "lemons" and also "Melted" and of course the self titled first LP, which is super raw low=fi and reverb drenched, yet still has a melodic quality.  Also, for kicks check out "Ty Rex" his 6 song cover album of T-Rex tunes, pretty cool too.

      In my opinion the best Ty Segall tracks are on his records from <2010. Check out his S/t LP (2008), Horn The Unicorn (2009) and Lemons (2009) if you want a real treat that you just can't get from his newer stuff.

      Also another up-and-comer that's getting really big is Thee Oh Sees. Their new album Putrifiers II just leaked and it rips pretty hard. I would definitely snag it when it releases early September and check out their albums from 2008 and 2009 as well. Really great stuff.

    • It sounds pretty cool, but I'd like to remix it so you can hear the drums.

    • August 11, 2012 6:08 AM CDT
    • I really like Ty Segall's new stuff

    • August 10, 2012 7:41 PM CDT
    • Some have mentioned  - Ty Segall, very prolific, mostly low-fi, loud, fast and killer melodies. The newest Album - "Slaughterhouse" is like a live studio album, with his touring band, including 2 members of the moonhearts.  They are still streaming it live on SPIN Mag website if ya wanna check it out, I recommend the cover of "Diddy Wah Diddy" or "Muscle man" for a quick tatse.  Ty Segall new Album

    • Show #384: "The Eggman Collection #118"

      NOTE: Due to an illness in my family which has me a little distracted at the moment, plus working 50-plus hours a week, I will be doing only Eggman Collection specials in the next couple of months until things slow down in the fall. I'm calling it "The Back-To-Back Eggman Collection End Of Summer Super Spectacular!"
      The Eggman Collection is basically a big potpourri of every song I've ever liked in my life...EVER! It's literally a huge mixing bowl full of songs written onto tiny pieces of paper. Over 15,000 songs that I've been compiling for the past 20-plus years of my life. Every song I've ever liked has gone into this bowl, and every three weeks I draw them out one-by-one and play them for you in no particular order. A mix of everything and anything I like, no matter what genre, era, style or year of release...if I like it, then I'll play it! No repeats of the same song ever! Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 118th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: The Dave Pike Set, The Mynah Birds, The Mint, Earth Opera, Man, Junior's Eyes, The Monkees, Yes, Queen, The Angels, Giles Giles & Fripp, Mecki Mark Men, Vanilla Fudge, David Bowie, The Buckinghams, Justin Heathcliff, Amon Duul II, The Deviants, Frank Zappa, The Zombies, The Creation, Lynn Blessing, and many others!!

    • I found a live recording from back in the 60's at the Hollywood Bowl a while back on the net... Way cool performance, immaculate energy produced by the original line-up! Couldn't be matched in the later years by whatever randoms playing for Saxon...

    • Radio What Wave Playlist Thursday Aug 9/2012

      When i arrived to do the show, there was a pre-recorded segment airing...(ie nobody was at the station and they were playing some show that had been broadcast prior) so i hijacked the station and started at about 5:30PM, hence the longer playlist.

      1. X Ray Spex....Let's Submerge...from their Germ Free Adolescents LP from 1978. 'We're going down....to the the underground' has always been a battle call for underground music in my books!!

      2. catl...Got A Thing For You...from their latest CD, Soon This Will All Be Gone.catl in action at Call The Office 4/25/10

      3. Eddie Coffin and His Invisible Men...Invisible Boogie....Hamilton blues punk combo.

      13. Tyranna...My Neighbour....from the recent Rave Up LP and this particular song was recorded at The Edge (Toronto new wave/punk club that closed down June 1981) as Wayne/Jayne County was recording a live LP there that night and someone offered to record Tyranna as well.

      14. Evil Eyes...Honey Please...from their brand new 7" and we've been informed that drummer Craig Leather Upper is doing his last show with the band tonite at Mitzi's in Toronto.

    • Aaah, life and the places it takes us...

       -just remembered listening to this on a neon yellow sony walkman on my way to this chic-who-never-ended-up-being-my-true-love house! hah!


      Anyhow, I found myself pondering this question A LOT this morning, trying to come up with the perfect playlist song-by-song. I came to the conclusion that there are several variables to be taken into account - whether it's a brisk sunny morning and you're on your way to the gym or the beach, a grey afternoon and you're stuck in the after work traffic, of if it's a cool evening stroll, destination unknown. To me, the answer would be drastically different on each occasion.


      But, based on the commute this morning (it was a bit chilly but sunny outside), I would have to say that in the ideal situation I would've:

      - started off with some good ole 70s/80s power pop, as that tender, not-quite-awake-yet state of being calls for some sweet, up-beat melodies (btw, I consider it important not to put the music on before stepping out of the door, but preferably just as you breath in the first of the fresh morning air):

      POINTED STICKS - PART OF THE NOISE

      THE RUBINOOS - I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND

      THE LIMIT - UH OH

      - then, around the time I got on the bus, feeling energized and positive, I'd crank it up a notch, and the person sitting next to me would just have to deal with my lip-syncin'-head-boppin'-eyes-closed demeanor:

      RADIO BIRDMAN - MURDER CITY NIGHTS

      THE KIDS - THIS IS ROCK 'N ROLL

      PAGANS - WHAT'S THIS SHIT CALLED LOVE?

      SWEATMASTER - ANIMAL

      - finally, getting off the bus and taking the short walk to the office, I would pull out all guns and yank my neck like crazy with my fists in the air, parading my armpits to everyone present:

      TEENGENERATE - DRESSED IN BLACK

      THE REATARDS - TEENAGE HATE

      OBLIVIANS - CHRISTINA

      Then, when I got to work I'd be like "What? Those stats don't add up? That meeting's been cancelled? We're going bankrupt? SO THE FUCK WHAT, BRING THE MOFO ON! I'M READY! YEEEEEEEAAAAOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      (Holy shit - I really gotta try this out one of these mornin's...)
