July 19, 2014 The Paranoid Squirrel ep 387

This week’s show starts of with a
tribute to Tommy Ramone who sadly passed away on the 11th July. Apart
from the obvious Ramones tunes aired I also play a track from the Lords of
Altamont cover album “Lords Take Altamont” followed by The Crazy Squeeze whilst
discussing Downloads vs Real life Records. The best band name of the year so
far goes to Spliff Witchard whose new album “Next Stop…Never”
has a track aired. From now on in, or until the end of the show, I hit you with
some of the finest Nordic Rock I have lying around in my hard-drive; Märvel,
The Hellacopters, Bloodlights, Smoke Mohawk, Gluecifer, The Michael Monroe
Band, The Flaming Sideburns, Waltari, The Nomads and Sator.

Not many bands will get me staying out
late one of the exceptions to the rule will always be The Yo-Yo’s as club gigs
seem to be only once a year. As a Sonisphere warm-up the band played Chris
McCormack’s Jubilee Club on the 4th July. Only Tom Spencer and Danny
McCormack remain from the band that produced the classic “Uppers & Downers”
for Subpop but Simon Maxwell drummer from the Loyalties and Role Models along with
guitarist Nick Hughes bassist with New Device fit in like a worn out boxing
glove. The Yo-Yo’s were supported by The (Willie) Dowling (Random Jon) Poole
who had stayed on after their PledgeMusic Pledgers only gig. A very satisfying
evening even if I did get in at twenty to two.

So
the run of studio episodes lasted one whole week but I think you will agree
with me that 50 odd minutes of Honest John Plain who was aided and abetted by Robbie
Rushton on drums, Gary Pearce on guitar and Nick Medlin on bass, recorded at
The Water Rats in London is a fair exchange. Frustratingly HJP isn’t able to
promote his latest solo album that sees him working with Glen
Matlock, Martin Chambers, Michael Monroe, Casino Steel, Darrell Bath and Verden
Allen as the only track that has seen the light of day, so far, has been
“Never Listen To Rumours”. But what we do get a great cross section of Honest
John Plain’s recording career. Obviously The Boys are represented along with The
Crybabys, Landslide Ladies and even a collaboration with Pete Stride gets an
airing.
Enjoy.

Even with a super
backlog of CDs & mp3 I’m taking you on a trip down memory lane in the form
of Adam West. For those of you who think Adam West was the actor who played
Batman in the 1960’s US Television show and have no access to Wikipedia here is
the lowdown. Adam West was formed in the early 1990s, when vocalist Jake Starr
decided to form a garage band with a 1960s Rock n' Roll sound. They released
their first single, "I Get a Sensation", on Fandango Records in 1993.
Their discography consists of 35 7-inch singles, one 10-inch EP, five
full-length studio albums, three outtakes/B-sides albums, and 40 appearances on
compilation albums. In 2008, Adam West released their final album ESP: Extra Sexual
Perception, and played their farewell tour in Europe. They concluded an
almost 17-year career at a sold-out show in their hometown of Washington, DC on
November 8, 2008. I only managed to see the band twice. The 1st in
2005 at Debaser and the final time a year later on 31st October at
Club Sheriff, both in Stockholm, Sweden. Enjoy.

On
this week’s show The Squirrel and I travelled up to The Jazz Café to see
Progressive, Psychedelic Rockers Motorpsycho who hail from Trodheim, Norway.
One of us came away happy, the other not so. This would have been the third
time I’ve seen them in three different settings, the first was at the
Borderline with the second at the Garage where the band played the whole of
their “Death Defying Unicorn” album. This time around it was over two hours of career
spanning Progtastic fan and band favourite songs. Enjoy.

May 23, 2014 The Paranoid Squirrel ep 379
This week’s live show was almost a
studio affair no small part to my shoulder still giving me gyp. I just didn’t
feel up to venturing out. Fortunately industrial strength painkillers and
Jamesons dulled the pain. So off I rode up to Hoxton to see Outlaw Country
Rocker Bob Wayne at The Bar & Grill, Hoxton Square, who was over here
promoting his current album “Back To The Camper”. This was my first time seeing
this style of music and even with a dodgy shoulder I enjoyed every cotton picking
moment.
