- Catl….Waiting List…from their 2014 This Shakin’ House release. This Toronto duo have the same setup as The Luxurious Faux Furs (minimal drums, guitar and vocals 2 piece) and a blues based sound as well. Would be fun to see the 2 bands together in a show as catl always put on killer shows!

- Ronettes….Be My Baby….from the Phil Spector Box Set and goes out to Phil who passed away last weekend.
- Ike And Tina….River Deep Mountain High…..as above and this one is from 1966. Many have tried, but few have reached the peaks on this great song!
- Ramones…Do You Remember Rock’n’Roll Radio….from the 1980 End Of The Century release.
Ran outta time, but definitely not tunes. Thanx for all the feedback, cards, letters, phone calls etc as it helps maintain this level of sanity! And Thanx to all that took the time to listen to part or even all of this show!
Back again next week and looks like we’ll be playing a lot of compilation records on the next show!
