A Gulls window Circus outside of rock vinyl show. Both LP tracks and 12″ singles are played. Dubbed out sounds mingle with experimental electronic and African sounds, with artists from all over the world contributing. I hope you plunge in and let this show wash over you.

LP tracks spun in real time comprise this week’s Gulls Window Circus show. There are two 7″ snuck in (Barbara Manning and The Male Nurse) because I just couldn’t wait to play them on air. There are two John Braheny tracks, because this Riding Easy (the label that does the Brown Acid series) LP reissue bravely goes beyond the label’s established sound. Speaking of ‘beyond their established sound’, check out the Bryan Ferry/Amelia Barratt collaboration. Rock Workshop is the first appearance of Alex Harvey, so fans of The Alex Harvey Band take note. Rain Parade has come back strong with several recent LPs. Today we hear a catchy track from their newest release, a 12″. Speaking of catchy, Peter Holsapple’s LP has a few, including the track you hear today. Where can you hear The Mommyheads paired with Pulp? Here, of course. In the diggin’ deep category, listen to John Howard and Hardware tracks. This is some (not all) of the highlights for today, hope you enjoy.

Today’s Gulls Window Circus CD-only show has a one- off feature: Each of the two hours have the exact same artists in the exact same order, with different songs in each hour. So you get two views off each artist’s sound. I frequently wonder about how certain song choices present artists in a way that highlights what is an unusual sound for them. This week really doesn’t address that concern, it just gives you 2 songs I like a lot from each. You will hear The Mommyheads, The Hepburns, Saint Etienne ‎, Pulp, Anthony Rochester, Garlands, Holiday, The Honey Pot, The Saints, Dr. John, The Night Tripper, Paul Haig, Mia Doi Todd, Rachel Stamp, Hussy, Black Bananas, The Lookout Honeys.

Week five of seven in the Gulls Window Circus New England series. This is a CD-only show, with some aha moments as tracks I haven’t heard in some time resurface to bring joy. It feels like a town hall meeting to me, as I have personal history with so many of todays artists, and know that you will find a lot of songs to love in this 2 part seaside hike. Firecat = Tim Sprague of Crow Follow, The Glass Set = Leah Callahan of Turkish Delight/Betwixt and Allan Esser of Primitive Romance, Heavy Stud = Meredith Byam of Poor Little Rich Girl (consignment store), I Love You = Paul Rechsteiner of Pie, Karacter & Lifestyle = Sean Drinkwater of Veronica Black Morpheus Nipple and Freezepop, Kudgel = Mark Erdody and Matt Nicholas of Black Helicopter, The Lune = Jeff Goddard of Karate and Mark Romano of Highland Kitchen (Somerville restaurant), Miskatonic = Paul Wisner of Ghosts and Shadows, The Moving Parts = Erik Lindgren and 2 members of MOB (Clint Conley and Roger Miller). Not at all complete, but a taste of the interconnections in today’s show.

Week four of seven in the Gulls Window Circus New England series starts the CD portion, and also provides an in-studio interview with Tommy White of The Mighty Ions, Unnatural Axe, The Fabulous Billygoons, The Beachmasters and The Beachcombers. Most enjoyable new find was the Calef Brown/Clementown CD, which takes the two children’s books Polkabats and Octopus Slacks, and Dutch Sneakers and Flea-Keepers and puts the books to song. Every single track in parts 1 and 2 are rather crucial, I really hope you get to listen to them all.
