I was wondering if anyone here had any saved Hot Slop podcasts?

My computer recently pooped out and I lost a lot of stuff, that podcast being a main thing. I've tried to find it through Google searches, soulseek and even torrents, but i've come up with nothing.

Alternatively, if any on knows of any current soul podcasts that are similar, i'd love some recommendation!

Radio What Wave Playlist March 24/2017. Special Guest Al The Killer Coulter

 

1. TVD….TVD…from their debut CD, Salvation Through Distraction and they are playing tonight at the St Regis Hotel and they will be celebrating the guitarists wife’s birthday, so just about anything might happen!
2. The Fiends…..30 Something…..local combo who will be playing live to air on next week’s edition of Radio What Wave!!
3. Blasting Fondas….Saddest Excuse….from a brand new 7” on Beluga Records and from Sweden.
4. Tommy and The Rockets….Get Ready....another brand new 7” on Beluga Records and these guys come from Denmark.
5. Dany Laj and the Looks….Defending Champ….from the brand new Alive and Kicking CD and they are on a North America tour right now! We dedicated this song to Al The Killer Coulter, London pro wrestler who joined us later in the show.
6. Baby Giant…..Summer’s Almost Gone….local talent featuring Shawn McDonald (and his brother) who was in Radio What Wave faves The Fine Print and many many other bands over the years.
7. Pacanomad…..Shot The Gun….from the recent Take It Slow CD and they will be playing tonight at Aeolian Hall along with….
8. Julian Taylor Band…..Coke Bottle Candle….from the recent Desert Star CD and from Toronto.
9. Chuck Berry….Bio….from the LP of the same name where Chuck tells the story of his life. It’s a slow bluesy little number and really shows off some of Chuck’s guitar picking.
10. Chuck Berry….Maybelline….from The Great Twenty-Eight double LP. This is the song that started it all and set up the prototype for the hits to follow. Believe it or not, this came out in 1955!!! On this particular recording is the genius piano playing of Johnny Johnson (who incidentally was in London about 10 years ago), the rock solid bass playing of song writing legend Willie Dixon, rock solid drumming of Jasper Thomas and soon to be a legend maraca shaker Jerome Green (he helped create the Bo Diddly Beat!).  Absolute killer lineup that set up your basic rock’n’roll band sound that still rules to this day (at least in my books!). Can’t say enough about Johnny Johnson as it was his band that Chuck joined to start it all off. Without those essential piano licks, who knows what would have happened!

If you only want to get one Chuck Berry LP for your collection. The Great Twenty-Eight is the one to get….all the hits from 1955 right up to 1965. It’s on the Chess label (Chuck’s original record label) and comes as a double LP with a gatefold sleeve with listing of all the musicians on each track (essential for geeks like me) and a few liner notes.

1. Hiroshima Hearts….The Well….from their debut CD and they will be playing at the SOHO as an afternoon show on Sunday.
2. Pack AD…..Blackout….from the Funeral Mixtape LP from 2007.
3. Lauren Agnelli and Dave Rave….Can’t Stop The Rain….from the Confetti CD from 1997 and goes out to Lauren who celebrated a birthday this week! Lauren was a real early contributor to the NYC punk scene and went under the pseudo name of Trixie A Balm in writing for such legendary magazines as Cream, NY Rocker, Village Voice and many others. Later, she formed The Washington Squares, a folk type band that were nominated for a Grammy.
4. The Secrets….All The Girls In The World….from the OPM CD called Teenage Rampage. Late 70’s Toronto garage/frat combo that were way out of step with the rest of the punk movement at the time. This one goes out to singer Freddy Pompeii who is in the hospital in Philadelphia fighting cancer. We send our best to Freddy!!!!
5. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners…..Blast Off….from the brand new re-ish of the 1987 Hot’n’Cold LP. Can’t say enough good things about this band, Ray and the boys put on legendary shows back in the late 80’s, even came to London at least 3 times and left some great memories!!
6. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners….Worryin’ Kind….as above, just couldn’t play one song from this long time fave LP of mine!
7. Bloodshot Bill and The Hubcaps…..Touch Me….from the Crazy Fever CD that came out in 2003. This is prior to Bill going solo and touring the world on what seems like a non-ending cycle! If Bloodshot Bill comes to your town, he’ll put on a wild and sweaty show that you won’t forget!
8. Catl….Gotta Thing For You….from the Soon This Will All Be Gone CD from a couple years back. Another band you gotta check out live if they ever come to your town! They’ve put on many a killer show with Bloodshot Bill, but recently they’ve been doing more and more trips way down south to Clarksdale, where the legends say the blues all started!
9. Foreign Objects….Wrestling Is Real….from the Not Too Cool CD and recorded in 1981. This Boston area combo did a lot of wrestling and television related tunes back in that time period and this one is to start the wrestling portion of the show.
10. Foreign Objects….Rock and Wrestling Roll…. As above.
11. Tijuana Bibles….Custom Made Man…from the Custom Made CD and there might be a Leather Upper involved in this project!. Right about this time, Al The Killer Coulter arrived to talk wrestling and about the huge show happening on Sunday night at the London Music Hall. SMASH Wrestling is returning to London and they finally have a big enough venue to fit the people in comfortably! I’ve gone to several SMASH shows here in London and they’ve all been good entertainment value for the money. There’s always a few guys from the big leagues and this time is no exception as Colt Cabana, Cody Deaner, Tyson Dux, Davey Richards and many other big names will be at the show. Al layed it on the line and told us what he was going to do the young punks he and his partner Mr Atlantis were facing! I wouldn’t want to be one of those young punks!! Al also mentioned there were going to be a few surprises, but wouldn’t give out any hints…
12. Fred Blassie….Pencil Neck Geeks…..from the Rhino LP from the late 70’s and a special request by Al The Killer Coulter…..believe me, whatever Al wants, he gets!!!
13. The Dictators….Borneo Jimmy….New York New York CD on ROIR Records and Al was talking about working with Jimmy Snuka so this kind of fit in.

 

Big Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! And a HUGE thanx to all that came up to say HEY at the London Record Show last weekend!!! That was a blast!

And a HUGE THANX to Al The Killer Coulter for making time to chat with us on air about all things wrestling. If you haven’t figured it out, I’m a huge wrestling fan for Ring Of Honor and Lucha Underground wrestling leagues!

 

Next week, we’ve got a live to air to kick things off as The Fiends are going to be playing live just after 4PM if everything works out technically! There’s a TON of work that goes on in the background to make these things happen and I’d like to thank our tech crew in advance as they are the best!!

Radio What Wave Playlist February 24/2017 Black History Month Special

 

Since February is Black History Month, it’s time to do another special on Radio What Wave. This time, we quickly covered a couple of the Canadian bands of African decent that have appeared at the local Sunfest Festival here in London. From there, we covered some of the early Toronto reggae scene, Toronto 60’s soul scene and into the later reggae scene. Then we went to Vancouver for a quick listen to some of their mid 60’s soul/R&B and back to London to cover Joey Hollingsworth, a name you’re going to be hearing a lot about shortly. One of the few punk/new wave combos from this area that featured black performers was The Dice….and we talked about their London Ontario connection. Then it was off to Jamaica for some real reggae! Hope you enjoyed the sounds on this show!

 

1. Marcellus Wallace…..Brothers and Sisters….from their self titled debut CD and from London Ontario.
2. Marcellus Wallace….Movin’ On Up…. As above.  One can only hope the band can get back together as they blew me away when opening up for Barrence Whitfield and The Savages almost 2 years ago!
3. Mighty Popo…..Turaje….from the Ngagara CD from 2003 and from Ottawa. Canadian Afrobeat!
4. Tarig Abubakar and the Afro Nubarians…..Yuma….from the Live CD from 1995 and from Toronto. Saw this combo a few times at Sunfest and they always got the crowd up and moving! My favourite show we saw by them, was when they  played the one off Winter Sunfest at the Western Fair and had a building full of people up and groovin’ to the tunes.
5. Alpha Ya Ya Diallo….Gugha…from his Futur CD from 1996 and based in Vancouver.
6. Ishan Band…..Egzebier….from the Last Pogo LP and the only non-white, non-punk band on the record.  Recorded in 1978 as part of the closing of the Horseshoe Tavern for punk/new wave combos and there’s an excellent documentary on this event called The Last Pogo and the more recent The Last Pogo Jumps Again, both by Colin Brunton (whom we had on Radio What Wave at the time of the latter’s release). Colin is presently producer of the CBC comedy Schitt’s Creek which is now on Netflix.
7. Noel Ellis….Memories…from the Jamaica To Toronto Soul Funk and Reggae compilation and we’ll be hearing lots more from this compilation. Noel is the son of legendary Jamaican artist Alton Ellis and this recording is from 1983.
8. Johnnie Osbourne….African Wake…. As above and from 1974.
9. Jackie Shane….Dual Trumpet Bounce….from his mid 60’s Live LP on Caravan Records. A big star in the 60’s Toronto soul scene, but troubled due to gender difficulties and disappeared for decades until found for a short time. Flamboyant and talented, Jackie could have been a major star in a different place and time! This LP has been re-ished on the OPM imprint out of Toronto.
10. Jackie Shane….High Heel Sneakers…..as above and this LP is from 1967.
11. Shirley Matthews….Big Town Boy….from the original 7” and a big hit in Canada in1963!
12. The Majestics….Sweet Soul Music….from the CTV After 4 compilation LP that came out around 1968. This was for the television show of the same name that I watched as a kid. Bought the LP back when it came out and still have it to this day!
13. Eddie Spencer….If This Is Love…..from the Jamaica To Toronto Soul Funk and Reggae compilation as heard earlier and this track is from 1967.
14. Jo Jo and the Fugitives…..Chips Chicken Banana Split…..from 1968 and from the same comp as above. Big Thanx to Alicks Gee who was the CHRW Music Director when this comp came out as she introduced me to it and played this tune many times on her Magical Mystery Mondays radio show on CHRW.
15. Jackie Mitoo….Grand Funk….from the same comp as above and from 1971.
16. Trials Of Jayson Hoover…..King Size….from the compilation LP The History of Vancouver Rock And Roll Volume 2 and this is the lead track for our short listen to some Vancouver soul. Way different than the Toronto variety as Vancouver was more influenced by the US West coast and even Mexico! This track is from 1966.
17. Night Train Revue…..Walk On The Wild Side…..as above and from the mid 60’s.
18. Little Daddy and The Bachelors…..Too Much Monkey Business….from the same compilation as above and from 1965. This features future comedy star Tommy Chong on lead guitar as does the next track!
19. Little Daddy and The Bachelors……Junior’s Jerk…..both this, and the above track were from their 1965 7” and on The History of Vancouver Rock And Roll Volume 2 LP.
20. Joey Hollingsworth…..In The Mood…..from the mid 60’s and played this from Youtube, first time I’ve ever done this on the radio as I don’t own anything by Joey Hollingsworth. Joey is from London and you’ll be hearing lots more about him in the not too distant future.
21. Joey Hollingsworth…..Little Dandelion….as above. Joey was most known as a tap dancer, appearing on Ed Sullivan, Mr Rogers and many many CBC television appearances.
22. The Dice….Young and The Wild….from their first 7” from 1980 and were based in Toronto at this time. Punk/new wave trio in which 2 of the band members were black which was pretty well unheard of in Canada at this time. Caught them a few times here in London at the Cedar Lounge. They did a live to air on Fanshawe College radio approx. 1980 and I’ve been searching for a copy of it since hearing it live! Any help appreciated.
23. The Dice….Typical Lies…..from their 12” from 1983.  Singer/guitarist Gary Lima went on to Fanshawe College as head of the Music Industry Arts program for awhile and drummer Hayden Vialva is currently here in London drumming for blues bands and other projects. We had Hayden on the radio several years back.
24. The Dice…..Chayla….their hit from their self titled debut LP from 1984. Lots of airplay on Much Music garnered them some success!
25. Jimmy Cliff….The Harder They Come….from the compilation and the movie of the same name.
26. Tommy McCook….Work Your Soul….from the compilation CD of the same name and features mid 60’s Trojan recordings from Jamaica.
27. Lloyd and Glen…..Mini Skirt and Go Go Boots…..from the same compilation as above. Just love the sound on these 2 recordings as it’s so primitive, yet alive and vibrant at the same time!
28. Boris Gardener……Melting Pot…..from a 1973 LP called Is What’s Happening on the Jamaican Dynamic Sounds label, yet it says licensed by Trans World Records from Montreal on the rear cover.  Very cool Memphis influenced reggae soul!!
29. Norma Fraser…..Respect….from a Studio One Soul compilation CD and originally released in 1967.
30. The Maytones…..Sha La La….from the Trojan Records compilation called Tight Rock from the mid 60’s. Way cool compilation LP I picked up the other day.
31. Fela Kuti…..Zombie…..from his Greatest Hits CD and didn’t get to play the full length as Jessie arrived for his show. Fela is one of my faves and there was a documentary on Netflix recently, that blended footage from the Broadway play about Fela with live footage and interviews with band and management. This song goes out to what is happening south of the border these days.

 

 

Big Thanx for all the emails, facebook messages and phone calls!!  This was a fun show to put together and barely skimmed the surface of Black music. Do yourself a favour, check out your local record haunts and pick up some soul, reggae, blues, Afrobeat and just about any other form of Black music and you might be in for a huge surprise!! Most of the records I’ve been buying lately are by Black artists and I’m really enjoying finding so many musical treasures! It’s great to keep an open ear to different styles of music!

 

Next week we’ll be doing a special on London’s Legend Killers, a band that released an EP on What Wave Records as well as appeared on all our compilations but one!  We’ll be playing many studio tracks as well as some audio of their very first club gig here in town from  1985…..it might really surprise you!!  And we’ve got a stack of new releases just waiting to be  played!

31. Amy Rigby…..Dancing With Joey Ramone…..from the Little Fugitive CD from 2005.
32. The Polymorphines……Billy Hates Sunday….from their self titled CD from 2008 and from Ottawa. Oddly (or coincidentally) I was wearing a Polymorphines T-shirt during this show.
33. Blood On The Saddle…..Bed Of Roses….from the Poison Love Lp from 1985 and part of the cowpunk thing that happened during this era. Singer Annette was in the original lineup of The Bangles. Caught this combo a couple of times at Key West and they put on a really good live show!
34. Torquemadas…..Teenage Head….from a 1989 New Zealand compilation LP called Positive Vibrations. This is NOT the Flamin’ Groovies tune, nor named after the band of the same name. Just some teenagers having some fun with rock’n’roll!

Radio What Wave Playlist February 10/2017

 

Live to air with Coaching For Sara on this show and we had to say goodbye to Bobby Freeman, Dave Vucenich, Robert Lundquist and forgot to mention Ritchie Yorke. We’ll do a proper goodbye to Mr Yorke next week. Always assumed he was Canadian as he was SOOOO instrumental in the Canadian music scene from the late 60’s to mid 70’s….ie he got John Lennon to do his first live show in many years in Toronto, helped create Cancon which is still intact to this day and wrote the first book on the history of Canadian music. Mr Yorke was an Aussie and was huge into the first wave of Oz punk!

 

1. Bath Salts….Cool Like The Music…from the recent Mardi Gras CD and they have a gig coming up on the 25^th at Fitzrays.
2. The Sadies….A Burning Showman….from the Favourite Colours CD from 2004 and The Sadies are playing the Budweiser with their pals Blue Rodeo on Tuesday.
3. The Sadies…..Tiger Tiger….from the Stories Often Told CD from 2002.  A regular listener rightly stated The Sadies should be headlining this show….maybe next time!
4. Blue Rodeo….Till I Am Myself Again….from the Casino LP from 1990 which features Bobby Wiseman on keyboards. The same guy that produced UIC’s Wiseman Sessions. And UIC have a date of April 8^th at Call The Office with tickets now on sale.

2. Bath Salts….Cool Like The Music….from their recent Mardi Gras CD and from London Ontario.
3. The Only Ones…..Another Girl Another Planet….from the 1979 LP Special View, a Canadian release which collected tracks from their previous UK only releases. This goes out to drummer Mike Kellie who passed away this week. Mike also drummed for Spooky Tooth and many others in a long musical career.  One of my fave songs.

14. The Scenics….Oh Boy….from their Sunshine World CD and recorded back in 1977. Toronto based, The Scenics used to share gigs with The Demics, each getting gigs in their respective home towns for the other. 
15. Teenage Head….Picture My Face….recorded live at The Spoke and Rim Tavern at Western University 2/18/1981.

16. The Government….Flat Tire….from their 1979 Ep and from Toronto.  After Teenage Head finished their above gig, their truck had 4 flat tires. Rumour has it that pointed sticks were involved in the flattening of the tires. There was an opening band for Teenage Head at The Spoke, they were from Vancouver and were a powerpop band that released many records, including one in the UK. They weren’t happy with how much stage space they were given.

18. The Lamplighters…..I’m Coming Home….from the Do The Ox Cd that arrived via mail yesterday, almost 2 months after leaving Australia. This release is from 2012 and they have a brand new record on the verge of being released. They took their name from a chain of Inns here in Canada, so a Canadian tour is definitely required! I’ve offered to let the band stay in our record room while here in London.
19. The Lamplighters…..1 2 4…. As above.

25. Etta James….Tough Lover….from a Greatest Hits CD and from 1956.
26. Nick Curran…..Reform School Girl….from the Reform School Girl CD from 2010. Nick had never reached his full potential and this CD was his last official release, as he passed a couple years back…..Way too soon as he was just a youngster. Fuck Cancer!
27. Arthur Alexander…..The Girl That Radiates The Charm….from A Shot Of Rhythm And Soul Lp on Ace Records from 1985. This particular recording is from 1960, before he went on to become one of the very first artists recorded at Muscle Shoals in its formative days. Arthur wrote a couple of songs that were recorded by The Beatles and Rolling Stones. And this particular track, sounds like it came from outer space!! Teenage Head recorded a version on their Electric Guitars LP in the mid 80’s.

29. Birds Of Paradise…..Beehive State…..recent release on Hidden Volume Records and this combo is from Montreal and features Roy Vucino.

33. Coaching For Sara…..These People….from their debut CD from last year and from London Ontario. CFS will be doing a live to air on February 10^th on Radio What Wave!
34. Bow Wow Wow….Louis Quatorze…..from The Last Of The Mohicans 12” from 1982. Features a picture of lead singer Annabella Lwin on the front cover naked. Nothing was showing, but there was a major controversy over this, as Annabella was only 14 or 15 at the time! Malcolm McLaren was responsible for this….same guy that ruined the NYDolls but made a mint with his next creation, The Sex Pistols.
35. Bow Wow Wow…..Mile High Club…..as above and we had to fade this as we ran outta time but not tunes.

 

 

Big Thanx for all the phone calls !!!  And for all the emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! That’s what makes it all worthwhile.

 

No show next week due to other commitments, back on February 3^rd with some or all of the Hiroshima Hearts as they have a gig at Grinning Gator that night.   February 10^th we’ve got Coaching For Sara coming in to do a live to air performance!

Hey everyone,

My first forum post here, just want to introduce y'all to a group I discovered over in Netherlands called del-Toros. Suf rock meets stoner rock, they prefer to call it "alternative surf."  Some really trippy stuff and their records sound massive.  I recently released a split 7" with them and Fatso Jetson for this past RSD just to get them headway here in the US, they have a unique sound (to me at least).  Anyway, if anyone's interested, check out their band camp below.

Their first album is more punk than surf sounding but still incredible. Their second album The Hottest Places In Hell... has a huge Fender reverb presence and it was mixed by Theo Van Rock (Ween, Rollins Band) and Peter Van Elderen (Peter Pan Speedrock).  Their third album Surfvival Of The Rockest is their most distinct sounding yet sounding than the two, especially the last song on the record.

These would be the guys to compose and score the movie Faster Pussycat Kill Kill Kill if they were around then.

Hope you dig and thanks for peeking.

i MEANT THE PROGRAM WITH THE SEEDS' TRIBUTE. For the few who care about this stuff , Alec Palao has been going to town on his Ace/ Big Beat Seeds series.

Sorry I missed this , Steve. The Seeds documentary still has yet to be shown in Chicago. And it's not for lack of trying on the parts of film fest jurors who prefer their music NOT dry as toast......

Howdy friends and neighbors.

There's a brand new hillbilly episode of The Big Enchilada podcast this month. It's called Barnyard Boogie! and it's a humdinger.

Songs by Southern Culture on the Skids, Rosie Flores, Jesse Dayton, Suzzette Lawrence, C.W. Stoneking, Reverse Cowgirls and more.
