The fifth 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 The Mighty Ions and ends with The Paper Tulips. Four Boston bands appear, including probably the most well-known export from this area, Mission Of Burma. The Mighty Ions are a 80-82 band that never released anything: here are 2000 recordings that capture exactly what made this band soar. Nervous Eaters are a cautionary tale – they rocked hard until Elektra signed them and created an LP that no one liked. Wrongs are righted with Spanish label Penniman’s two anthologies of the bands finest stuff. Pajama Slave Dancers are a Western MA band feature prominently in the 2018 documentary ‘Chet’s Last Call: A Story of Rock & Redemption’ based on their mid-80s records. So much more in this show… Listen and I will give context to all.

The fourth show in the 8 week Gulls Window Circus series ‘Double punk’ which plays two songs from each band, with two bands in a set. This week starts with Hitmen (with an out-of-order catch up of The Flyin’ Spiderz), and ends with The Mekons. Included is my all time fave hardcore band Ill Repute, who changed their sound significantly between their 1st and 2nd LPs. We will have 3 tracks from that little heard 2nd record. My fave Boston band La Peste is showcased with 2 of their lesser know songs. Scott Weiss fronted (Ed Gein’s Car) Iron Prostate honor Gilligan’s Island, and NYC Dead Boys contemporaries The Mad provide cover art for this show and give us 2 tracks. LA’s Sylvia Juncosa’s vocals remind me of Paris band Stinky Toys (who will be heard soon) on her tracks.

The third 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 The Drones ‎ and ends with Richard Hell And The Voidoids. If there is a familiar band in the show (there are several), tracks from outside that band’s norm are played, such a 1977 demos for Generation X, the Yonkers demos for Heartbreakers, and live at The Lyceum 1983 for The Gun Club. There are also bands that are related to other bands you know, such as Empire (Generation X) and Future Dads (Unnatural Axe). And, as usual, there are the unknown, such as Long Island’s Hand Grenades and New Zealand’s Flesh D-Vice.

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!

The first in a 3 week series called Popped. 6 hours of physical copy vinyl singles and LP tracks spun in real time on a turntable. The Popped series covers the inspirations, 80s bloom, and current examples of the sound that gets called power pop by some. The series was inspired by the KRGA LP ‘Moi St’. Unfair to give highlights, as every single track fought hard to earn its place.

The final week in a 3 week series of electronic shows features a track from the ‘Taken On’ LP by Moodymann. There are also some ambient tracks, a re-edit of The Zombies, a Talking Heads outtake, the NYC band Gray that Jean-Michel Basquiat was in (not on this track), and some soul, tropical and lovers rock tracks. Quality is kept high (hey, it’s Gulls Window Circus!) so you should have a happy time listening to this show.
