Seven suicide gange members overpower a 16 year old lad and drag him into an alley. They beat his face into a pulp, murder him, then take a nine-inch switchblade and cut his heart out for a souvenir. The police found him dead with the giant cavity cut into his chest. A group of teenage gang members steal into a mortuary and drag away a corpse in the middle of the night. They lay it on a table in the hideout and proceed to cut the body into pieces, just to see how it was put together. Two teenage boys overpower an 87-year-old man, kill him, for no other reason than his being too feeble to get out of the way. Thousands of teenagers rumbling, jitterbugging, bopping, indulging in promiscuous sex, crime and delinquency. Thousands of teenagers rocking, rolling, twisting, smoking, drinking, cursing, carousing, sniffing glue to get high, drinking cough syrup for a kick, smoking marijuana for a thrill, shooting heroin into the veins to live it up. Eleven and twelve year old girls staggering down the street at 2 o'clock in the morning dead drunk. Teenage girls selling their bodies for pennies.  Teenage boys that are turning into homosexuals, bisexuals, and multi-sexuals. Teenage boys lying on rooftops vomiting, shaking from head to foot, sweating and convulsing, too sick to work an angle to get money for drugs and torn by the agony of a life-time habit. A generation of pleasure lovers who spend all of their pre-adult lives in a constant pursuit of thrills, sensations, and strange flesh.

No, it isn't a weekender at Pontins. It's another episode of The Rockabilly DJ Show.

Step into the darkness as we tumble into the abyss with some new releases and favourite LP tracks.

Academic studies have positively related Delinquent behaviour to the number of delinquent friends, and also to a strong orientation toward peers, regardless of whether or not those peers were themselves delinquent. It was inversely related to a strong family orientation and to a concept of oneself as "good", in the sense of being law-abiding and conforming to "square" society. 

Yes, it's time we had some more mood music for stealing hubcaps! Delinquent diminuendos from Gordon Sizemore, Rex Roat, Maddox Brothers and Rose, Scotty McKay, Sirocco Brothers, Ronnie Dove, Planet Rockers, Floyd Dakil, Cosh Boys, Chuck Berry, Craig Shaw & Illuminators, Dickie Podolor, Keith Turner, Star Shooters, Carter Family, Freddie Robinson, Bobby Lee, Arthur Crudup, Fuzzy Owen, and Ronnie Dawson.

The youth culture is on everyone's lips today, as pressures build to ban controversial song lyrics, reintroduce school prayer, and prohibit teenagers' access to contraceptives. Law-abiding parents are outraged over this unstoppable "seduction of the innocent." Listen now as we explore the savage jungle rhythms of so-called "Rock and Roll" music, which is debauching right now the impressionable youths of our once-strong nation.

Adagios for arsonists from Blue Voodoo,  Sirocco Brothers, Gordon Sizemore, Rex Roat, Boo Devils, Caezars, Star Shooters, Hank Thompson, Eual Hall, Planet Rockers, Carter Family, Don Bernard, Hi Fly Rangers, , Keith Turner, Steve Hooker, Scotty Baker, Milt Forester, plus the brand new smash hit from Hurricane Felix & Southern Twisters.

Something a little different this week. The strange tale of the Rockabilly DJ's intrepid quest to buy all five legendary singles by Elvis Presley on the Sun record label. A difficult enough task in itself, but made many times harder by his insistence on spending no more than $1000 in total. A true story of obsession that drives one man to the brink of madness.

It was April when we last had a Postman show. This 25th episode may be long overdue, but it was worth the wait. Packed with killers!

Adagios of antiquity from Elvis, Western Melody Makers, Happy Wainwright, Rhythm Rockets, Joe Bennett, Wayne Raney, Buddy Aldo, Jody Reynolds, Cupids, Marvin Rainwater, Jimmy Work, Jimmie Driftwood, Joe Maphis, Snapshots, Billy Guitar & Nighthawks, Ray Pate, Gordon Sizemore, Rex Roat, and Sid Ervin (aka Sid King).
