Radio What Wave Playlist July 17/2014
1. Simply Saucer....Baby Nova....from their 12" record of the same name that just came out.
2. Teenage Head....My Mommy's Pot....from the Head Disorder CD from 1995. Teenage Head is playing at Call The Office here in sleepy London Ontario Canada on saturday night.
3. Teenage Head....You're The One I'm Crazy For....from the Teenage Head with Marky Ramone CD. Frankie Venom's last recordings with the band and recorded by longtime Ramones pal Daniel Rey.
4. Teenage Head...Little Boxes....as above.
5. Ramones....Basement.....from 1975 demos produced by Tommy Ramone RIP....this part of our show is dedicated to Tommy, the brains behind the machine, who passed away this week.
6. Ramones...53rd & 3rd... as above.
7. Ramones....I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend...from a Norton 7", 1975 demos produced by Marty Thau. If Marty had produced the first LP, things mighta been a little different and the world just might have accepted the Ramones instead of making fun of them. The band was considered a joke by the mainstream for many years....when in reality the joke is on the mainstream.
8. Ramones...Judy Is A Punk....flip side of the above.
9. Ramones...Havana Affair...from the first LP, 1976. I remember seeing ads for this LP in Rolling Stone magazine and it was completely different from anything else we'd ever seen up until then! Stripped down monochrome photo that looked like it came from another world. Mystery and intrigue as we had no idea what this band sounded like...radio play? in yer dreams! The only way to hear this one was to go out and buy it at Records on Wheels here in London Ontario as that was the place to buy records that were non top 40. My buddy Derek went out and bought it as we were bugging him about looking like Joey Ramone at the time....tall, skinny, glasses, introverted and a head full of black hair. Turned out we all thought the Ramones were great but had to wait until 1980 to see them live!
10. Ramones...Now I Wanna Be A Good Boy....from their 2nd LP, Leave Home.
11. Ramones...We're A Happy Family...from their 3rd LP, Rocket To Russia. This is my fave Ramones tune. A socio political statement on the family unit as a functional entity in a disfunctional world. Yep, it sums up the family unit alright!
12. Lionel Lodge...Smile...from his brand new CD, The Agitator. Local artist whom you may remember from such 80's London Ontario combos as The Catch and Nosmo King Jr.
13. Legend Killers...Loaded Gun...from the We're Workin' On It CD. This goes out to drummer Jeff Depew, for whom there was a benefit at Call The Office last weekend. Jeff is having some health issues and can't work and needs all the help he can get to help cover his medical expenses. Check the Call The Office page for details on how to assist.
14. Vintage Experience...You Don't Look Good To Me....demo from Ryan In The Reds latest combo. Ryan hosts Rock City Madness on the garagepunk hideout site on the web.
15. Dustbin Flowers....What I'm Missing Now...from their brand new CD, II. Local combo who are currently on tour on the west coast of Canada.
16. Dustaphonics....The Message...from their brand new CD on Dirty Water Records Big Smoke, London Town.
17. MFC Chicken...Chicken 'Bout You....from their brand new CD on Dirty Water Records, Solid Gravy.
18. MFC Chicken...DJ Booth....as above. I can certainly appreciate this song's lyrics!

Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!! That's the fuel that keeps us going!! Next week we'll be doing a Johnny Winter tribute as he passed away the day this show aired. Remember, Birds Don't Row Boats!
We've got another project coming on, Rock'n'Roll Rent Party. It's going to be a live show, first sunday of the month from 3 till 7 PM at the APK right here in sleepy London Ontario. Local rockers, The Mongrels will be the resident band and there'll be another band joining them for each show. There's no cover, we'll be passing around the hat and possibly selling raffle tickets on a pie or cake. And i'll be the MC to announce the bands and other stuff. Hope to see you at the opening for this on the first sunday of August....more details coming.
