2 chances to hear my fun-packed August show, at 9pm tonight and 7pm tomorrow (UK time) before the new schedule starts and my bumper three-hour Liverpool PsychFest special kicks in.
Some of you may remember me as being the host of "40 Oz. Nonsense" (Hell, on some of those episodes I barely remember hosting them), which I felt had run its course and decided to it was time for it to permanently sleep one off. So I took a break (no, not from drinking, silly rabbits), and brainstormed (yeah, I still have a few brain cells left) about what kind of show I would like to do, granted if I decided to ever do this again. Well, "The Escape Pod" is what I came up with...It's a musical "escape" pod(cast), get it? Yeah, it's on the level of "lame groovy", but so what? Honestly, though, this is a different show from "40 Oz. Nonsense", so I can't say just how many of you garageheads are going to dig my latest (misad)venture. Primarily what I'll be playing will be obscure (or fairly obscure, underground, whatever) '60's/'70's rock 'n' roll in such genres as heavy psych, garage, proto-metal/proto-punk, and maybe even some trippy prog and/or glam. I've recorded the first episode, and it was all '60's/'70's tunes, but I will be playing newer bands in the mix as this show progresses. Hopefully there's a few of you here on the Hideout that'll enjoy what I throw together on each episode. I'm always open for suggestions, but don't get offended if I don't take some of you up on them. So here's the maiden voyage, let me know what you thought, and thanks for listening!
We found the song! It is, indeed, called "Fast Attack" by a Connecticut band called the Hangmen. It is on this out of print record called Towers of New London vol. 1 (thank you, gut fish for tipping us off that this was a New London band). We just ordered the lp and will upload to soulseek once we get it.
We heard it on my friend's radio program cassette archive from WRTC in Hartford.
Any luck getting this uploaded? Post a link please....
Yeah, that's a great collection with my favorite track being the super moody "Here Without You" by The Symmetry Of Sound.
Another cool comp with a moody theme is Sigh Cry Die, also on Arf! Arf! Records. Not as great as No No No in my opinion but definitely worth getting for anyone into the moody sides of garage sounds.
Guys, it's been almost one year since New York City was crushed by Hurricane Sandy. Norton Records is STILL (I repeat) STILL cleaning up the damage. It's really sad.
Check out side A on the first volume of "The Big Itch" comps, which is dedicated to "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" sound-a-likes and covers.

There are several decent record stores in Florida. I wonder if it is due to all the retirees who pass away down there leaving old record collections behind. Has anyone ever been to Bananas in St. Petersburg? That place is massive!
No used records at Rough Trade, eh? That's too bad, I usually spend 90% of my time in the used section. To my mind, a good used section is a sign of a good record store - it's much harder to keep a nice used section than to just order titles out of a distributor's catalog to keep the new stuff stocked. I'm guessing that, because of who they are, that Rough Trade does a good job of representing smaller labels and non-mainstream bands? Still saddened about half of the RT record label going to Universal the behemoth....
I've got another great shop for the "Best Of" list: Rock 'n Roll Heaven, in Orlando. Had a conference down there 10 years ago or more, and searched them out because they were the only ones in the area that had a website at the time (remember those days?). It's an amazing collector-based record shop, almost like a museum. I've never seen so many pristine rarities under one roof - priced accordingly, but how can you complain when the shelves are full of holy grails? I think I spent about $400 in an hour. Not sure if they're still the same or not, but they blew my mind back in the day.
