A CD spinning’ show: Buried among a clutch of songs so good you might think they are covers, are 2 covers that are good – Artful Dodger doing Eddie Cochran and Cherie Currie & Brie Darling doing T.Rex, both to stunning effect. The Curt Boettcher produced single by TV actress Cindy Malone (Batman, Bewitched, Love American Style) is great, and the Peter Bagge band Can You Imagine? are as well. Oiler vocalist Beth Capper needs to be heard, as does Atomic Rooster guitarist John Du Cann. Thanks to Harriet Records (recent release High Rise Group is here) for introducing Gulls Window Circus to the Pittsburgh label Igor Records, which you will hear with Bone Of Contention and Minimalist Love Gods. The ones I didn’t mention? If I had written this 5 minutes ago or 5 minutes from not maybe they would have been the track’s I’d mention: listen to all.

Show #550 is an Electronic show that continues the feel of last week’s show, with a brief 2 song diversion of holiday tracks at the halfway of the first hour. All the main theme songs are longer and breathe well with a shared depth field that had me really enjoying this program. Zip away, and walk the space within.

A CD spinning’ show that starts with a track from the latest (2005) Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel CD – he still tells stories you want to listen to in his lyrics. A whole bunch of junk shop glam and power pop from CD-only comps are sprinkled throughout this show. Cushioning these many tracks are tracks from Julian Cope’s new CD-only release, tracks from the 2 latest Harriet Records CDs, two tracks from the latest of Joe Viglione’s long running Boston Rock & Roll Anthology series (one of them a Kenne Highland project), a track from new Boston band Crow Follow, Gulls Window Circus fave Richie Parsons has a track, paired with Dictator-related David Roter Method. The Jook’s track Aggravation Place has been going through my head all week, so be sure to hear that one as well.
