Radio What Wave Playlist Mar 19/2015
This show featured an interview with Simon Harvey of Ugly Pop Records, one of the finest record labels in North America. And since the London Record Show is on sunday, it's an almost all record show today.
1. Tuerto Loco...Nancy Sinatra....recorded live on Radio What Wave 5/12/2011. Tuerto Loco are playing live at the St Regis on saturday night.
2. The Spy's....Underground...from an Ugly Pop 7". Windsor Ontario combo who played The Cedar Lounge here in London a coupla times, then morphed into The Nelsons.
3. A Passing Fancy....I'm Losing Tonight....another Ugly Pop 7". Late 60's Toronto combo.
4. The Real Kids....I Can't Shake That Girl...from their Shake...Outta Control LP on Ugly Pop Records.
Right around here Simon Harvey called to let us know how he was able to release The Real Kids LP, talked about the Spy's 7", some upcoming releases on Ugly Pop and lots more record geekery!!! You can get Ugly Pop records here in London at Speed City Records, or order direct from the Ugly Pop website. A great record label and it's right here in Ontario so get some of these releases for your aural sanity!!
5. The Real Kids...She Don't Take It.... as above.
6. Pointed Sticks...What Do You Want Me To Do?....yet another Ugly Pop release. Vancouver powerpop combo from the late 70's/early 80's that played London at least 2X.
7. The Northwest Company....Hard To Cry...another Ugly Pop release. Late 60's Vancouver punker.
8. Masters Apprentices....Undecided....another Ugly Pop release. Late 60's Australian punk thumper!
9. Giggleswitch...How Good You Look....from their VII CD. Local combo that may be playing tonight at the APK.
10. Buzz Deluxe....Stabbing Party....from a recent demo they sent us.
11. Noble Savages...Lobotomy City...recent demo that may appear on a Transistor 66 record.
12. Intrusions....WSIB....demo from this Aylmer Ontario combo whom we had on the show last week.
13. Noble Krell...Beware Of The Noble Krell...brand new release on Hidden Volume Records. This one arrived just prior to me heading to the radio station, and i didn't even have time to give it a listen prior. It's a good one, as our pal Timothy Gassen of the Marshmallow Overcoat was involved behind the scenes somehow.

15. Captain Bringdown and the Buzzkillers....A Dick Shin....from their only 7". Local combo who recently broke up.
16. Excelsior....Shut In....from their recent 7". Another local combo who play about infrequently.
17. Frankie and Jimmy....Mojo Working....from their Scream The Blues LP. Hamilton Ontario duo.
18. Supreme Bagg Team....Crankin' With Elvis...from Mr Garager's Neighbourhood. 1989 LP on OG/ What Wave Records. Found a few of these and will have them at the record show on sunday.
19. Flying Squad...Fie On You....from Four Whom The Bell Tolls, 1988 7" on What Wave Records. We'll have a few of these at the record show on sunday as well.
20. Bryan Ferry....The In Crowd....from a self titled LP on Atlantic Records.
Big thanx to Simon Harvey of Ugly Pop Records for calling in to talk about his record label. Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, messages etc!!
