"You take a sad song and make it better..." Hey Paul - thanks for the lyrics (even though we don't mention the Beatles AT ALL in this show.)
Tonight we honor the massive musical talent we lost in 2022... poorly, just like you expect from your hosts. Eric & El Carpe roll through the songs from the bands these folks were part of... part of the bands, and part of our lives.
We played songs from bands like, The Specials, Primal Scream, The Tubes, PIL, The Pogues, Nazareth, Depeche Mode, Foo Fighters, Happy Mondays, Suicidal Tendencies, Foreigner, Olivia Newton John, (not Olivia Newtron Bomb), The Rascals, Meatloaf, Q Lazzarus, and the Stranglers... to name just a few.
Not to mention others we lost others like Monty Norman who composed the 007 Theme Song, Coolio (we did a show earlier this year devoted only to him), Jerry Lee Lewis and Loretta Lynn.
Lot of talent gone, but they left behind a catalog of amazing and varied music for us and generations to hear and enjoy... and make new memories. Thanks for all the creative talent you gave us !
Somehow we turned as sad story into something fun. We hope you enjoy listening to our mess as we try to honor the talent we lost this year. May your 2023 rock and roll (koochie-koo)... Join us for more fun as we continue to hack our way through the next year of musical silliness... Eric has some great ideas, and El Carpe is his bitch... so will do whatever he wants. It's gonna be fun, join us !
Pour Me Another Brother !
