Carl’s living room series means vinyl LP tracks played on a real turntable in real time – a bunch here. We start with prog rock, move to private press, Dutch reggae, Texas reggae… Ramones reggae. Many surprises, all held together by an invisible thread that runs through my mind and into the selections. Hope you enjoy!

Carl’s living room week 2 of 7 – LP tracks played in real time from physical copies on a turntable. I love every track here (by definition), but urge you to be sure to hear the ALRN (early Scott Miller of Game Theory) and The Students, a one-off French band that should have more ears on them, current band Johnny! And the non-LP Tom Verlaine track ‘Call Me The’ – very glad to bring every track in this show to you.

Carl’s living room returns – we listen to LP tracks spun on vinyl in real time, no real pattern or rules – just listening to some tunes as if you were in my living room with me. The Pussywillows is early April March. The Chord Rockers are a one-off collaboration between Bostons Unnatural Axe and Italy’s The Nasties. There is a run of hard rock tracks in the middle that will appeal to anyone that grew up to Grand Funk or Deep Purple, but wants to go deeper (WAY deeper…). The Beachwood Sparks track just won’t leave my head, and I am glad to play one 7″ track at the end (had to find a track to fit the time remaining) and bring you a cut from the one and only To Damascus 7″.

3rd week of rock 7″ compilation boxsets, closing out the series. The Hooterville Trolley and The Iguanas from the Mind Destruction – Maximum Garage Psych Vol.1 boxset are superfine. The Desmond Dekker track Israelites just pulls you up and in. The Hollywood Squares ‘Hillside Strangler’ is a Killed By Death classic, but is even more: one of the handful of best punk rock songs EVER. After the boxsets are completed, there was time for 3 more songs, so we briefly visit single artist rock 7″ boxsets: ‘Pooh Sticks 7″ Box Set’, Slade’s ‘Feel The Noize The Singlez Box!’ And T.Rex ‘Electric Warrior 6×7″ boxset’.

Week 2 of rock 7″ compilation boxsets – one more week will follow. The Dutch private press punk 7″s of the Punk Elää series continue to impress [try Outo Elämä ‘ANC’, Kasvain ‘Onko Suomi Usattunut?’, or Lapsuuden Loppu ‘Tämän Yön On Tää Kylä Meidän]’, sublime perfection in a much mellower persuasion can be found in The Loft – Why Does The Rain, and the artists in the Ten Big Stiffs boxset demonstrate how Stiff Records lived outside of time [the Desmond Dekker ‘Why Fight?’ and The Legend! ‘Melt The Guns’ tracks are very timely anti-war tracks]. As for ‘time’, going back to the 60s in the Mind Destruction boxset which starts today’s show is super-enjoyable. Sitting in a time of their own are the Creation artists glowing bright in the Creation Artifact 45 boxset.
