      Finally a show without a topic....just cool rock'n'roll with lots of emphasis on the new stuff that's popped up recently.

      1. The Gruesomes....What Wave....from Mr Garager's Neighbourhood on OG Records. First time we've played our theme song in ages and hopefully caught some listeners off guard.

      2. BeeGees....In My Own Time...from their very first LP, simply titled Bee Gee's 1st.In mono and on Atco, Canadian pressing. For Robin Bee Gee who passed away the other day.

      3. Eliza and The Strange...Disease...from their 2012 self titled debut LP. The are from Halifax, Nova Scotia and are now called Bloody Diamonds, which to me, reeks of late 70's psuedo metal.

      4. Reply...Memphis Train...Toronto soul/mod/rock'n'roll combo from Toronto that put on killer live shows! See below, April 21/2012 at Brennan's, right here in sleepy London Ontario.

      5. The Ballantynes...The Message...from their recent 7" on La Ti Da Records outta Vancouver. Features a former Tranzmitor or 2 on this soul drenched single.

      6. Joey Ramone...7 Days Of Gloom...from his latest, ...Ya Know on BMG. Picked this one up at Walmart the other day.

      7. The DeRellas...Go Go DeRella....UK combo on Dirty Water Records, again brand new.

      8. Thee Walkin' Jacks...from their brand new online download, Drop Dead. Members of Liquid Vapours crank out some similar sounding trash rock'n'roll...from the east coast of Canada, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.

      9. Tom Jones....Jezebel...from a 7" on Third Man Records. Jeb Bond of The Evil Farm Children was ranting about Tom Jones awhile back, checked out some of his recent material and found out Jeb was right!! Tom Jones has released some pretty cool tunes recently!! Betcha never thought you'd hear Tom Jones on Radio What Wave! Or The Bee Gee's for that matter!! Blame Jeb!!

      10. Terror Lake...Freehold...from the Haggard Beast Toronto comp that came out a few years back. Terror Lake are in town at The Black Shire Pub this saturday along with locals Psycho Daisies (Jack Whiteside of Uranus' latest combo) and Space Slave.

      11. Terror Lake...Double Cross of Maxwell Pine....as above.

      12. Flamin' Groovies...Move It... from their Now LP from 1978 and goes out to Rockin' Jack Whiteside as he used to play this tune in Uranus.

      13. Bloodshot Bill...Cool Breeze...from a brand new 7" on Transistor 66 Records outta Winnipeg. played a little BB Radio ad right after this song. Below is BB at The Victoria Tavern here in sleepy London Ontario and someone's ass is catching Bill's attention!

      14. The Phantom....Love Me...from the Lux Lives! download and Lux yammers excitedly about how great The Phantom is prior to the song starting.

      15. Orie Hitt Machine...Killer Inside Me....crazy psycho shit from sleepy London Ontario!

      16. Boy From Nowhere...Borderline...live at The Brunswick Tavern in beautiful downtown London Ontario...recorded sometime around 1990 and is a carryover from our all live show last week. The Boy From Nowhere always knew how to rock and this here's the proof as they cover a DMZ tune. And speaking of DMZ, the band they morphed into, The Lyres hit Hamilton next weekend and the Boy From Nowhere's bass player will be playing bass for The Lyres. Below is bassist Brian Young borrowing my Vox Constellation IV for a gig at The Langarth Bar and Grill here in sleepy London in 1987.

      17. The Troggs...Summertime...from a 7" and a bit of self indulgence for The Troggs who never get played on CHRW.

      18. The Troggs...From Home...the flipside of Wild Thing.

      19. The Troggs...I Can't Control Myself...now that I've played a set of Troggs i'm feeling much better. I'm gonna start trying to do this every show or 2, feature a band who never gets any airplay on this station, just for fun.

      20. Living Deadbeats...Evil Hearted Blues...from their almost released 12"...LD will be in London for 2 shows in July and we'll be plugging them lots prior to...

      21. T.H.E. ...Grilled Cheese....mystery band who mailed me a 3 song demo, hand written song titles and very little other info. We've sent the paperwork out to the local CSI who refuse to tell us anything other than this combo will be opening up for The Living Deadbeats London shows in July....and they say you should check them out!

      22. The Chickens...Heart That Bleeds....from the Bring It On CD and a special request for regular listener Mike Burton who lost a friend to a car accident recently.

      23. The Chickens...Summertime...from the Prepare to Plug In CD....a 4 shot of The Chickens for Mike. For those that don't know, The Chickens featured 4 members of UIC, the coolest band to ever come out of Exeter Ontario. UIC formed around 1980 and used to play London Ontario fairly regularly before moving on to Toronto and releasing several records and CD's....and their might just be another one coming out later this year.

      24. The Chickens...Submarine Driver...from the Bring It On CD.

      25. The Chickens...Super Bee...from the Prepare To Plug In CD. The Chickens used to make me dance my ass off! Everytime we saw them! Sadly,they packed it in about 5 or 6 years ago.

      26. The Smoggers...Shame On You...brand new single from these Spanish garagepunkers...

      Outta time, but certainly not outta tunes as we'll play even more new stuff on next week's Radio What Wave. Thanks for all the phone-ins, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!

    • Yep, greed, the number one problem with the world today.

      Actually, I think money (read: GREED) trumps testosterone.

      Mike Humsgreen said:

      Men are generally short on that when they have a goal in sight. Check out what men will do for women and it becomes understandable. I'm sure women too, but all the best examples of loss of self respect I can think of are testosterone ones.

      Mardy Pune said:

      Man, that is some serious bullshit. Scary to think that some bands will buy into it so they can play. Whatever happened to self-respect?

    • I recently met the producer of a series of documentaries on the Akron Ohio garage punk scene, which has inspired me to re-start my documentary project on the Twin Cities Punk scene! Stay tuned...

    • May 25, 2012 4:47 PM CDT
    • A couple of months ago I started a discussion called Too Old To Rock?   There were loads of great replies that took two main directions - musicians of advanced years and listeners, like myself, who'd never see 50 again.  Now for the sequel - are there teenagers out there playing and listening to garage punk?  What should us old farts be listening to so that we look forward and not just back?

    • Show #375: "Bands & Artists Starting With C, Part 7"

      Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows I call the "Alphabetical Series" where I randomly draw a letter of the alphabet from a hat. Whatever letter I draw, I take all the bands and artists in my collection (from the 50's, 60's & 70's only) that start with that letter and play them in strict alphabetical order one by one until I run out of time. This week I drew the letter "C". This is the seventh time I've drawn the letter "C", so I will start from where I left off on show #6 (which was with Chubby Checker). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "C" like: The Checkers, 7 different Checkmates, The Checkmates International, The Checkmates Ltd., Cheech & Chong, Chelsea, Shinki Chen, The Chentelles, Cher, 2 bands called Cherokee, 2 different Cherokees, Cherry Five, Cherry People, The Cherry Slush, Cherry Smash, Cherry Stones, Carl Cherry, 5 different Chessmen, The Chevell's, The Chevelle V, 3 different Chevelles, The Chevron's V, The Cheynes, and many others!!!

    • Yeah, I have some Planet Pimp stuff. That's a great tribute site!

      That actually reminded me of another defunct label that I miss a whole lot... this one's not as old (from the early '00s), but Boom Boom of Renton has been gone for several years now, too. Damn. There's no tribute site for Boom Boom, but there is this, for what it's worth.

    • May 25, 2012 11:32 AM CDT
    • I miss OG Records the most....Canuck label for Gruesomes, Deja Voodoo, Jerry Jerry and others....bur i'm biased cause i'm a Canuck.

    • May 25, 2012 2:51 PM CDT

    • Hail Ryan!

      Loved all those One Cup O Coffee podcast, (still got em) looking forward to hearing getting more Cheap Thrills!

    • May 25, 2012 11:56 AM CDT
    • If you aren't familiar with the Cheap Thrills podcast just yet, it's completely understandable. We've been few and far between since the programs inception back in May of 2009. A little background: For those of you who've been fans of GaragePunk Pirate Radio for a while now, you may recall my first podcast, One Cup of Coffee & a Cigarette, one of the original GaragePunk.com podcasts. It made its debut back in August of 2005 and featured 60's garage, rockabilly, soul, punk and modern noise. When I decided to end that show and start Cheap Thrills, I wanted the focus to be primarily new punk and garagepunk with a tinge of 70's-80's punk and KBD-style punk tossed in for good measure. On the other hand, don't be surprised if you hear some 60's jammers thrown in from time to time.

      With all that said, today marks the Cheap Thrills Podcast relaunch! I'm happy to announce that we have added a new co-host to the show, Ashley! Ashley has played in some cool bands over the years and currently plays bass and sings in one of the best St. Louis bands going with Doom Town. In addition to that, she had a great radio show called Talkin' Trash on KDHX St. Louis Community Radio and regularly DJ's around the town.

      Going forward, we plan to bring you a new episode on the 25th of every month. We are both pretty busy people so forgive us if we fail from time to time. I hope you all will enjoy the brand spanking new episode, Cheap Thrills #8. Thanx!

    • I don't think anybody expects him to "sound more like garagepunk." The problem with Bruce's music is it's rock without the roll.

      The Ungodly 77s said:

      Yeah, I've always felt that if he just got rid of the E Street Band, and stripped the sound down, his tunes would sound way better. E Street Band is talented and all, but way way too much. 

      He is a good songwriter, good storyteller, but I guess we just want him to sound more like garagepunk, right?

    • LOL!!!  I do like Springsteen, but I have to admit, that is a very funny (and sadly accurate) observation about his later material, starting with "Born in the USA."

      I'm no bruce fan; I am sure he has a great record collection and digs great records-he has made it clear in interviews i've read that he's a big fan of suicide....a band that is clearly not for everyone. 

      the odd thing is that bruce springsteen is, to my ears, america's number one synth-pop band!  he's got 4 guitars in the band, sax, bass, drums, yet the synth is always way way up in the mix!! where are the goddamn guitars!

    • I kind of agree with everyone on this, in various ways:

      I sure as hell wouldn't pay to see Springsteen, let alone Steven, not even if I could afford tickets that cost thousands of dollars. I am not a fan. But, as far as radio stations go (and trust me, I am NOT a fan of commercial radio), Steven's is better than most, and he does offer a better lot of music to the masses and squares that wouldn't normally hear music pointed in the direction of true garage. Does he spin tunes that we at the GPHO forum consider cool garage? Probably not. His stuff sounds relatively boring to me, but it might be provocative to the squares and they might eventually wind up here at GPHO enjoying our little forums and podcasts. 

      Also, if Steven truly is trying to raise a good chunk of cash for music education in schools, good for him. Of course, I don't know what kinds of schools (public vs. private, needy vs. not-so-needy, etc.), where they are located, how much he is raising, how much he gives away, how much he pockets, etc. It seems like a good cause, but only rich people can afford to buy those super-inflated tickets. I hope that is not the only way you can get rich people to give back to their communities and to public services.

    • Cheap Trick kicks Springstink's ass, though.

      Really, who WOULD care about Springsteen tickets? Plus I remember one Halloween he had the "Cheap Trick or Treat" [GROAN]
