The Paranoid Squirrel ep 488

Welcome to Episode 488 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. This was almost scuppered by my goodself contracting the Flu. It had already seen me miss The DeRellas and the Witchdoktors down in Brighton on Thursday, The Fiascos debut gig yesterday in Wallington and even worse CJ Wildheart tonight in Hoxton. However the show must go on, again. The Stooges are at the top of this week’s show and are swiftly followed by The Damned. Remarquable Records are all set to release their third Johnny Thunders 1978 set of vinyl recordings. This time around it’s a full on album. Obviously Mr. Genzale Jr is played, as is his old sparring partner Arthur Kane with a track from his band The Killer Kane Band, natch, only 7” “Mr Cool” that features a young Blackie Lawless. As I’ve been getting into the TV series “Vinyl” I play a track by Jack Ruby whose material is used by house band The Nasty Bits in the show. Mötley Crüe are up next even if I don’t play the intended track. I’m ill. Prophets of Addiction and The Cruel Intentions bring us up to date in the Glam/Sleaze/Hair department. In the super new release section The Yorkshire Rats are up first with a track from their “Trouble City” EP. Los Pepes are second airing a song from their forthcoming album “All Over Now” which is out on the Wanda label in May. Before I play a brand spanking new Black Halos track I announce the winner of the red Vinyl “The Violent Years” LP. I then run another competition to win the new Hard Action 7” “Hands Dripping Red” courtesy of Bootleg Booze Records. It’s Motorpsycho however that end this week’s show with a track from their new “Here Be Monsters” album. Stay well.
