Host: Ryan Katastrophe
On this episode Ryan takes a close look at the hair metal scene of the Sunset Strip in the 1980s. Just kidding, it’s more rockabilly, garage, soul, punk or whatever you want to call this stuff. We just call it rock & roll.

Host: Central Computer
Central Computer presents a particularly atmospheric and varied batch of scuzzy and ghoulish instrumentals, decrepit fuzz stompers and broken-boned shouters. All in all, it’s pretty ugly.

The latest installment of Florida Rocks Again! is the purest expression of the show’s garage underbelly, with many great cuts from 1965 to 1968, but most from 1966. Together with “Sunshine State Garage Revisited” (FRA! #5 & 7) this episode makes the case for Florida’s garage greatness. Featuring We The People, the Allman Joys, Beaver Patrol, and many, many more. Produced by MalThursday and JeffMiami in living mono.

Someone posted this on the Shakin’ Street forum on the our message board, and I thought it was worth reposting here. Vinyl is now outselling CDs! From The Business:
Back in the groove
14 May 2006
Technology Editor Tony Glover reports how in the iPod age the record industry is going forward by returning to the days of vinyl
BESET by digital piracy and increasing customer reluctance to pay for CDs, the music industry is fighting back with its latest technology – black vinyl records.
Music labels and high street retailers are busy turning back the industry’s clock to a time not only before internet song downloads, but also before CDs or even audio cassettes. The irony is that the vinyl revolution is being led by teenage consumers who are prepared to stand in line for the latest 45 rpm single or 33 1/3rpm LP (long-playing record) in much the same way that their parents, or in some cases their grandparents, did.
According to Rob Campkin, the head of Music at Virgin Megastores, vinyl is now outselling CDs when it comes to the latest records.
“Up to 70% of sales of new releases are vinyl. The fans of popular new rock bands like Arctic Monkeys and The Raconteurs prefer vinyl to CD,” said Campkin. “When the Raconteurs’ latest single was released, 80% of high-street sales were for seven-inch vinyl and only 20% were for CDs.”
“We are not just talking about vinyl singles but also about albums – the format is just continuing to grow,” said HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo.

Hosts: Bob & Jeff
Shorter Than Dio!
Wow! We’re rolling out new episodes faster than Willie Nelson rolls out new releases or rolls up his favorite smoking blend. The second season rolls on as guest Baron Von Kopper (of The Wayback Machine radio show and the Savage Kick podcast) takes control of the musical playlist while Jeff & Bob look at two very off beat feature films in the Public Domain, Roger Corman’s A Bucket of Blood (1959) and William “one shot” Beaudine’s Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952). The principal roles in both movies are played by “actors” who are all much shorter than Ronnie James Dio and overcome their vertically challenged stature with “lifts,” aka elevator shoes.
