The second show in the Gulls Window Circus series ‘Double punk’ which plays two songs from each band, with two bands in a set. This week starts with Charlie ‘Ungry and ends with Dow Jones And The Industrials. Detroit band Death incorporate a well-known Beatles song into The Masks, post-Destroy All Monsters band Dark Carnival do 3 blasts of joy, NTC goodies Corpse Grinders and The Dots show that the tracks you never heard are always worth the effort (The Dots and The Dictators = Bronx pride), and Boston royalty DMZ and Dogmatics show why they are remembered.

A one-off that started as an experiment, which ended up turning out well and caused me to make it a show – the 88-89 LA (mostly) metal scene, filed with miscreants that saw Hanoi Rocks as their Iggy, and Gn’R as their Pistols. Listen if you dare!

The third week of the 3-week Popped series – all physical copies, spun in real time on a turntable. LP tracks, 12″ and 7″ single are all featured, both current and from the past, US and England. I loosened up for tight sound requirements I started with for this episode, so several high quality tracks that might have been passed by got included (OMD and Ministry are the obvious examples). Hope you enjoyed this series, and my tracks to KRGA for providing the inspiration to pull this last 3 weeks together.

The second week of the 3-week Popped series goes to an all 7″ format – physical copies, spun in real time on a turntable. Many of the tracks are from artists that only ever released one single and that was it, so there is gold to mine here. Special mention goes to Long Island NY band The Ecstatics [from my hometown], who on their lone 1981 single counted (in their aliases) John Ceparano from The Stargazer Lillies and Spike Cassidy from DRI, both playing WAY outside the styles you know them for – wow!
