    • Playlist Nov3/2011....

      1. Cramps....Weekend On Mars....from The Band That Time Forgot LP from Trash Is Neat. Limited to 250 copies and available to Cramps fanatics only, hence i have a copy. It's all live stuff, but the best of the boots, and this track featured Bryan Gregory from Club 57 in NYC, 8/18/79.

      2. The Cynics...Baby What's Wrong...recorded live at Call The Office, London, Ontario 10/29/11. Best show i've seen The Cynics do since the 1990 tour with The Monomen. The Cynics were absolutely on fire here in London and we were lucky enough to be there to see the fury! Catch these guys live at all costs!

       

       

      Micheal giving the evil face at Call The Office, London Ontario Canada 10/29/11!!


      3. The Cynics...Rock Club...from the latest LP Spinning Wheel Motel on Get Hip.

      4. Paul Revere and The Raiders...Kicks...from a Greatest Hits LP. Last week we were playing bands that played here in London 30 years ago and Paul and the boys certainly qualify. Remember catching them at the Western Fair (10 day fair held annually here in London) and they were just amazing live! Lots of comedy, stories and those amazing songs that made these guys legends.

      5. Higher State...It's Not Up To You...from the Freakout At The Gallery CD on 13 O'Clock Records. Brand new, just got it in the mail minutes before the show and had to play it! UK combo who have released many records, all with very authentic 60's sounds!

      6. Cordcalling...When I Scream...from their debut CD and they are playing the Brunswick in St Thomas tonight.

      7. Party Lights...Before You Came...from a brand new 7" from this trio of ladies from NYC. Features Anna Anabolic on guitar and vocals.

      8. Photoroman...Faux Depart....from their only 7" and they are from Quebec.

      9. Pack ad...Hear Me Out...from their latest LP Unpersons on Mint Records which is still #1 on the Exclaim chart!! And they are coming back to town Dec 16th with The Standstills at APK club.

      10. Velvet Underground....promo from 1969 that may have aired on the radio once or twice. It's one of the 7" records in the VU singles 1966-1969 Boxset.

      11. The Sphinxs...Time Above Me...from the split CD with Miesha and The Spanks. We had both of these bands (along with Pelt) for a show at The Black Shire Pub back in June...you shoulda been there!

      12. The Pack ad...Cobra Matte...recorded live at Call The Office 10/7/11.

      13. The Fine Print...Haunt You No More...from their cassette from earlier this year. The Fine Print play tomorrow night at Brennan's Beer Bistro.

      14. The Fine Print...Hanging Over Me...from their CD Standing Out.

      15. The Fine Print...Tonight...as above.

      16. The Hook Up...'65 Has No Blues...brand new and from the upcoming CD. First time aired anywhere. The Hook Up play tomorrow night at Brennan's Beer Bistro. And it's also their cassette release party tomorrow as we release our 3rd cassette of this year.

      17. The Hook Up...Minstrel Man...from the Noises From The Hideout compilation from the garagepunk hideout.

      18. The Hook Up...Quinine...another from the soon to be released CD.

      19. The Hook Up...I Am The Letter Writer...from the Tomorrow And Today CD on Ricochet Sound.

      20. Owl Farm...45 Sex...from their brand new CD...Kingston Ontario based combo.

      21. 63 Monroe...Bad Bad Rock'n'Roll....from their latest 7" on red vinyl. A band that was played on our last show as they've been around for 30 years.

      22. Freddy Cannon...Talahassie Lassie...from his Explosive! LP. Freddy played The Western Fair here in London, probably about 30 years ago and he was amazing! Played all of the hits and made me smile! Then Chubby Checker came on and he wasn't very good so we left.

      23. Arthur Alexander...Girl That Radiates That Charm....from his A Shot Of Rhythm and Soul LP on Ace Records that came out in the early 80's. Some of you may recognize this song as one that was covered by Teenage Head, original version came out in 1962. This whole LP is as good or better than the one track we played. Great early 60's soul sounds!

      24. Gene Simmons....Goin' Back To Memphis...from the LP of the same name. 1962 recordings that still sound good and menacing all these years later.

      25. Hipbone Slim and The Knee Tremblers...Square Guitar...from the CD of the same name from Dirty Water Records in the UK.

      26. Light Bulb Alley....Long Time Coming...from The Sound OF Things LP on Ricochet Sound...had to fade this one out as we ran outta time.

      Thanx for all of the phone-ins, emails, facebook comments etc!! And thanx for reading this far! Next week, more new stuff and probably some catl, Speaking Tongues and Soup Cans as all 3 bands are in town next weekend.

      And don't forget about our big bash on Saturday Nov 5th at Brennan's Beer Bistro....The Hook Up, The Fine Print and The Reply...starts at 9:30PM and only $5 for 3 killer combos!!! Hope to see some of you out there!

    • Someone in the advertising business obviously has real cool taste in music!!! Too bad there isn't an alternate version with the lyrics.

    • I think its hilarious that they chose "I'm Cramped " for a car commercial.... I like roomy cars.

    • November 4, 2011 5:14 PM CDT
    • >=oO that should not be

    • November 4, 2011 4:24 PM CDT
    • Found it! Pretty cool, but it'd been cooler if they'd used some of the vocals, too...

    • November 4, 2011 4:15 PM CDT
    • holy hell!!  I'm Cramped shows up on my television as music in a new Volkswagen commercial.  That's just crazy

    • oh and plenty of songs get censored by labels before they even reach the public.

    • November 4, 2011 3:53 PM CDT
    • no song should be banned. that's my opinion.

    • November 4, 2011 3:50 PM CDT
    • It used to happen a lot in the '50s & '60s, but not so much since then. I find it funny that Link Wray's "Rumble" was banned simply because people feared it would lead to increased street violence and gang wars, even though it's an instrumental!

      Censorship where? I don't know any banned songs. Usually musicians change the lyrics, cuz they're too much of a coward and they like the money.

    • Shindig Magazine for sure!

      A review in there led to a huge surge in orders for us.

      Will definitely pay out for an ad with them next issue.

    • Coincidence, I was going to mention them too. Saw Playn Jayn live and they were excellent, still listen to both LPs which are well worth picking up. They turn up fairly frequently on eBay and are never expensive.

    • November 4, 2011 2:06 PM CDT
    • Thanks for the info, I don't think I've ever heard of them before!

      Another British band worth checking out are the Playn Jayn. Found this bit about them on a site called Power Pop Criminals, and there's a Myspace page on 'em, too:

      Formed in 1983 from the ashes of the Zoodoo (then The Idd and The Zoo) around the nucleus of the Jones brothers, the Playn Jayn were part of the UK 80's psychedelic revival. Obviously rooted in crafted '60's english pop, but drawn towards the more cracked elements of american psychedelia, the Playn Jayn released a live LP on A&M and then were dropped by their record company before they were signed by ABC. They released their sole studio LP in 1985. Mike Jones (the singer) ended up an acid casualty and became incresingly fragile. Nick (guitarist) took the Chris Dreja route and became a commercial photographer.

    • Mudhoney were ok but what  Leonardo said about The Kreuzen is totaly my point of view.I saw The Kreuzen end of the 80ies in a VERY small club in St.Pauli(Hamburg)-JESUS it was incredible....there were about 25 to 50 people(sold out!!!!!!!!!!) and these guye played a kind of music I never heard till this day-and I hear lots of differend stuff!!!!

    • November 4, 2011 12:47 PM CDT
    • I think SKIN YARD is a superb band,just here "PSYCHORIFLEPOWERHYPNOTIZED"-pure mania,even the cover of the single.GREAT!!!

      But it`s very hard to define what "Grunge" is-I don`t think in those categories,because everyone has another definition of music.Some say "Soundgarden" or "A.I.C" is grunge-for me it`s just ROCK from Seattle.

    • here's a suggestion...

    • November 4, 2011 11:42 AM CDT
    • Actually I agree somewhat about the Rick Rubin stuff. There were some jewels there, but, especially in the later volumes, there was lots of snooze. (One of the worst things he ever recorded was "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Fiona Apple. Barf!)

       

      And I liked his original recording of the old murder ballad "Deliah" back in the 60s a lot more than the unplugged 90s version with the Kate Moss video.

       

      Roger was God.

    • Really dig these guys myself, ESPECIALLY Roger Miller! And who can argue on your Cash claim? I especially love his '50's rockabilly and '60's tunes. Early '70's were fine, but after that, I didn't have too much of an interest in his musical career. And I may ruffle feathers here, but I just wasn't a fan of his "American" series of recordings produced by Rick Rubin. I'm not saying they're bad, it's just a matter of personal taste. So many people seem to they were the greatest albums of his career, and maybe they are, and I'm just missing something?

    • If it interests anyone, I am going to be deleting the "Hayride" Facebook page and posting anything related to that show on my "40 Oz. Nonsense" page. It would just be easier to keep anything podcast related all under one roof, rather than give me one more thing to have to worry about maintaining and keeping updated. I already do that with the Twitter account anyway, so it only makes sense.

      Here's the link for the "40 Oz. Nonsense" page: www.facebook.com/40oznonsense
