Having
been born in Beckenham and lived there, on and off, for the last 30 years David
Bowie’s life and death had an impact on me. Whilst mainstream Radio Stations
celebrated his life with great but obvious songs I go for a different approach
by starting this week’s show with a Davie Jones With The King Bees song before
going into a Motörhead track from “Bad Magic”. It’s not all doom and gloom with
The Supersuckers and something from their “Holdin’ The Bag” album. Thee Martian
Boyfriends are up next with an injection of some Farfisa organ. The Michael
Monroe Band are bound for the United States next month, so to get our American
chums in the mood and even more excited a track from “Blackout States” gets an
airing. The Boys have just released a brand new video to whit I play the audio
equivalent from “Punk Rock Menopause”. Non PC band Childbirth from Seattle have
two tracks played one from each of their albums, which are “It’s A Girl” and “Women’s
Rights”. Slade, who were the first band I got into back in March 1973, have
that track, which set me on my musical journey played. A band who would be
right at home in the early to mid 70’s are The
Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell who just so happen to have released a brand new 7”
on Rise Above Records. Obviously the A-Side gets a good going over. Captain
Blood, from Denver, Colorado, with their Horror Punk make their debut onto The
Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. Turbonegro once again grace the airwaves with
their latest single which came out last year. Sonny Vincent’s Son,
Daughter-In-Law and Grandson were involved in a serious Apartment Fire suffering
50-80% burns, so Sonny has set up a GoFundMe Campaign to help with their
Medical expenses, which you can donate to Here.
Ghost Highway Recordings are also chipping in by giving all the proceeds from
the “Lines On My Mirror” 7”, which I play, to the fund. The Royal Republic are
the latest band to have a gig that clashes with an already booked ticket.
(Ghost on March 2nd) Even so I play another new track from their up
and coming album. AC/DC finish things off this week because.....well just
because.
