The Paranoid Squirrel

As predicted by me on unsocial media yesterday, even though I had a shed load of new and exciting stuff to play, I didn’t get it together in time for last night’s Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show on Rock Radio UK. Too much, sleeping, eating and drinking preceded it and not necessarily in that order. So you will hear a whole hours worth of live Ramones instead. Normal (sic) service will resume next week......

With a banging headache, a sore throat, achy limbs and Facebook not wanting to widely advertise the fact, I think I pulled off yesterday evenings Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show without any hiccups.  Oh to have been pre-recorded.

Anyway, whilst I was making my way back from seeing The Damned and Johnny Moped, Rock Radio UK was airing The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show which you can now Stream and Download from Podbean. Over the course of the hour you most definitely will hear;

Apart from getting gig days mixed up (Rockaway Beach #31 is tonight and wasn’t yesterday) and forgetting that I was going to play some live Johnny Thunders, last night’s Rock Radio UK show went off without incident. Kicking out the jams were;

Well, well, well. After driving within the confines of the 20mph speed limit I still managed to get back from Deptford, behind the microphone, in time for yesterday’s Radio Show. All of which has been mp3ed and podbeaned for you, you discerning music listener to enjoy at your leisure. Bands featured where;

As the Bay City Rollers once sang “At the good ole Rock ‘n’ Roll Road Show, I gotta go Saturday night.” Well it might not be Saturday Night, but at least it is Saturday (Banana). Which means yesterday evening’s Paranoid Squirrel has been (in)sanitised via Podbean ready to be Streamed and Download to the device of your choice. Over the hour you will hear;

Fighting off a cold I managed to squeeze out Episode 656 of The Paranoid Squirrel with apparently no faux pas. If there were, no one has noticed them or was kind enough not to bring them to my attention. Artists that were Rocking and a Rolling were;
