A Gulls Window Circus outside of rock show, with dubby disco edits and jazzy beats. Tracks that want you to fall into them and ride them to wherever they take you. I love doing shows like this, and I think that no matter your usual go-to genre, you will love this show if you listen with your true ears.

Hard sound punk/hardcore/harder-indie vinyl show on Gulls Window Circus. The show goes as far back as BOA’s 1974 Martha & The Vandellas cover and as recent as the Strange Club Records ‘Secret Futures’ comp, the Big Flame ‘Peel Sessions 84-86’ 10″, and the debut 7″ by Boston band Out Of The Blue (doing a Wipers cover). The idea for this show started with a re-evaluation of 7 Seconds ‘New Wind’ and Uniform Choice ‘Staring Into The Sun’ LPs (both at-the-time not particularly appreciated), then blossomed into a collection of tracks I though fit well with those records. You will also hear late-period Forgotten Rebels (’86 LP ‘The Pride And The Disgrace’), Big Boys doing a Kool & The Gang cover, Eighth Route Army’s final 7″ ‘Jesus DeMilo’ from 1988, The Nuns with a 1977 demo version of ‘Suicide Child’ that is way different than the version you know, and 2 tracks by the Dictators’s Scott Kempner band Del-Lords.

A rock vinyl Gulls Window Circus show stuffed with recent releases, reissues, and RSD records. The unreleased Pavlov’s Dog 3rd LP found a recent release, The Public Image ‘First Issue’ RSD release doesn’t say it, but it has a completely different mix that was intended as the US release but never came out. There are four records that are not recent releases, reissues, or RSD: The Boston 1980 Bound & Gagged 12″ which I had been seeking for ages, a 1983 track by Gleaming Spires (who included Sparks members that stayed in L.A. when the Mael brothers moved overseas), a 1975 David Werner track, and The Twenty-Seven 7″ from 1979 (not related to the Boston band 27). Many treats in today’s show – engage and enjoy.
