to Episode 467 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, where, even though the news

about The Hellacopters one off Sweden Rocks gig is over a week old, I go off on

a complete tangent, not playing was I was planning to but Bands and Records

that have shaped, if not changed the course of my life. Therefore for the first

part of this week’s show I play; The Hellacopters, The Ramones, Motӧrhead, The

Damned, The Beatles, Ginger Wildheart, The Hydromatics and Cinderella.

Fortunately I do leave myself enough room for new music that you should hear on

the Radio but don’t in the form of Brian James and a track from his latest

album “The Guitar That Dripped Blood”, The Dirty Strangers and something from

their just released “Crime And A Women” album. If you think that the Rolling

Stones haven’t released an album of decent tunes this century The Dirty

Strangers will restore your faith. Scott Sorry, he of Sorry and The Sinatra and

sometimes Wildhearts Bassist, has the first fruits from his Pledge Music solo

album aired and I finally manage to play a track from the Black Bombers 7” that

their Bassist and Walter Lure’s, Darren Birch sent me a couple of months ago.

Well worth the wait. As we plunge head long toward the end of this week’s hour

the Zodiac Panthers, all two of them, give us some Primal Garage Punk with The

Beladeans blending some modern/vintage Pacific Northwest Garage Rock to

actually bring proceedings to a close.
