Show #350: "Bands & Artists Starting With E, Part 6"

Every 3 weeks I do a show where I randomly draw a letter from the alphabet. Then I play all bands & artists in my collection from the 50s, 60s and 70s that start with that letter in alphabetical order. This week I drew the letter "E". This is the sixth time I've drawn the letter "E", so I will start from where I left off (which was with The Esquires [WI]). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "E" like: The Essentials, 2 different groups called The Essex, David Essex, 2 bands called Et Cetera, Eternity's Children, 3 different Ethics, The Ethiopians, Euclid, Euphoria, Euphoria's Id, Evariste, Betty Everett, The Everly Brothers, The Everpresent Fullness, Every Mothers' Son, Evil, Evil Enc. Group, The Evil I, and many many others!!!

1. The Diodes....Shape Of Things To Come...from the Time/Damage LP from last year. Recorded live in 1978 and broadcast over the airwaves of CHUM FM. Great way to start the show as there is a scheduled phone interview with The Diodes prior to their show at Call The Office Nov 18th.

6. Bush Tetras...Cowboys In Africa...from their Rituals 12" EP from 1981 and for bassist Laura Kennedy who passed away earlier this week.

7. The Sphinxs...Time Above Me...from a brand new split 12" with Miesha and The Spanks...we had both bands here in London this past summer and they both put on great shows!

For those that don't know, Katrina and The Waves first broke out in Canada back in the early 80's and played here in London many times during that era. This is probably their most well known song and it's a good one!

BILL WYMAN RADIO SHOW

1ST EPISODE TODAY THURSDAY 11-17-11

SIRIUS B.B. KING BLUES STATION

I think most here have pretty much covered my feelings on the matter, I never really loved CDs. I can tell that by the quality of my CD collection. I usually have to go to my vinyl to hear a lot of what I want to hear. I could probably cut my CD collection by a third and not really miss it much. A lot of my CD purchases now are usually my trolling around for cheap used stuff I already have on vinyl, so that I can download it to MP3 easily. It guess it's a generational thing perhaps, but I have a hard time paying for a product that I can't hold in my hand. I never really asigned much value to CD's, but when it's a choice between buying a 10 or 12 song disc for $5 used or paying 50 cents a song for a download, I will go with the disc.With that said, things like many of my Bear Family releases and box sets, I would be hard pressed to ever get rid of. Quality sound and packaging will always sell to the die hards I think.

I would like to thank all the labels nowdays that include a MP3 download with their Vinyl. (In The Red, Goner, etc etc). On some of these releases the difference in sound quality between the Vinyl and the MP3 is glaring, but it keeps me from having to hunt down the CD release just so I can enjoy the songs on my commute to & from work.

I had a decent collection of 8 tracks when i was but a wee lad. Believe it or not I had DEVO, Sex Pistols, and a few others that were actually pretty good.

MikeL said:

Kind of sad, but inevitable.  I still have a big CD collection, but lately I've been downloading LPs more often because that's the only way I can get a release that I want.  

 

Since vinyl has been enjoying such a huge resurgence, I've been toying with the idea of getting a turntable, after doing without a turntable for over 25 years.  It would feel weird, especially after turntables were made obsolete by CD players so many years ago, and now CDs are officially obsolete.

 

BTW, did anyone here ever have eight tracks?  I remember them when I was a kid, but I never had any myself.  

Yup I'm Up for that, It's vinyl for me Ha Le LOO Yah!

Old School Hero said:

Who want's to start the Born Again Vinyl church with me?

I saw where a guy was asking where to sell his used MP3s that he didn't listen to any more.  He was being cheeky but still...  Funny!

How about The Fogcutters "Cry Cry Cry" from 64 on Liberty Records

Si mon

I have a couple of suggestions that are in the range you mention...

The Jolly Jumpers from Finland

The Jet Black Berries albums from the 80s, might be a little too Rock, but worth checking out.

You like Tom Waits... check out Stan Ridgeway

lastly I would also point you towards the records of The Divine Horsemen...

Following a recent obsession with the Austin, TX psych band The Black Angels I've been on a search for other dark, muddy, tremolo-ed out bands with a country bent.  I'm primarily looking for bands with a creepy, twangy, reverbed edge to their sound but not necessarily their lyrics.  Another strong influence to what I'm looking for would be Tom Wait's "Jockey Full of Bourbon" or "Going Out West".  So far in my area (Boston) I've found these guys:

The New Highway Hymnal:

http://thenewhighwayhymnal.bandcamp.com/

Anybody else have any suggestions old or new?

Good luck finding it then! If you do get to watch it, pay special attention to the opening scene and dialogue, it plays into the ending of the film, which I think will stick with you. Also keep an eye out for Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty as a "straight" biker!

John Battles said:

I'M LOOKING FOR IT AS WE SPEAK.....Gay - themed films , even ones like this , that used condescending humor , were'nt exactly a dime a dozen at that point in time .... By that , I don't mean strictly underground films , or even more underground porn.

joey fuckup said:

Yeah, this trailer can elicit a giggle or two, but on a serious note, this is actually a very good film. Well "good" as far as drive-in movies go. If you get a chance, check this out, I think you'll be entertained. I have this on dvd, as it came packaged with a bunch of other exploitation films in a "bargain priced" boxed set. But you may be able to find it online (streaming on Netflix?), or your local dvd mart.

John Battles said:

OMFG ! I don't think I've even heard of this !!! The roughest bunch since..."The boys in  the band". HA HA HAAAAA.....THERE'S GAY CAR CLUBS , THERE'S PROBABLY GAY MOTOCYCLE "CLUBS" , TOO . THERE'S THE EXTREMELY BUTCH BIKER NOVELTY SONG "I'D RATHER FIGHT THAN SWISH".....

joey fuckup said:

I know this is technically a music discussion, but I had to include this trailer from an often overlooked classic, "The Pink Angels". Personally, I like some of the tunes included in this film:

I need that "I Survived" shirt...  although to be honest with you, before the Sonics started I didn't think I would, I thought I was gonna lose it.

And I agree with Mace, The Swingin Neckbreakers were great.  Lots of stuff off of Live for Buzz.

If Norton sells a 25th anniversary t-shirt it needs to include the words "I Survived"
