A CD-only Gulls Window Circus show means we get to hear stuff that is only available (as physical product) on CD, or CD is the only format I have it on. This is a rock show. We get to hear tracks from several Raving Pop Blast! compilations (a Bristol label I first learned about from artists The Mudd Club), and the Caroline True Records comp ‘The Art School Dance Goes On: Leeds Post-Punk 1977-1984’. We also hear Barcelona-based Tarta Relena and Istanbul’s Gaye Su Akyol, a track from Chris Stamey’s latest, a self-released Gary Valentine CD (original Blondie bassist), recent reissues from New Math, Second Hand and LMNOP, the premier shoegaze band The Stargazer Lilies, and dug-up nuggets by Bone Of Contention, Further, Philip Rambow, William Carlos Williams, 10¢, Ivy and Silver Jews, and a couple of Harriet bands, The Coronets and Kisswhistle.

A CD spinning’ rock show: all CDs by necessity/availability. The show starts with a song each to celebrate the lives of Shane MacGowan, Denny Laine and Scott Kempner. Then we move to a lesser-known Boston band that introduced both a notable WZBC DJ (Commodore Vic) and a Freeze Pop (Sean Drinkwater). I had forgotten that I play trumpet on the track, but I can’t even hear it so it doesn’t interfere with my ‘never play your own band’ rule. 4 other contemporary Boston bands appear too (Crow Follow, The Complaints, American Beauties, Audioscam). The 2 latest releases of the revived (and delivering the goods!) label Harriet Records (The Coronets, Kisswhistle). The final recordings of Only Ones drummer Mike Kellie, a pre-Stone Foundation Dance Stance, a post-Sally Skull The Nettelles, a post-Charles Brown Superstar Bennett and a post-Mott British Lions make appearances. Thanks to Frank for urging me to do tribute songs, and supplying me with the treat that closes out the second hour.

Today’s Carl’s living room Gulls Window Circus plays a lot of post-punk an artists that pushed boundaries after leaving their more successful bands. Mick Jones went from The Clash to Big Audio Dynamite, Lara Logic went solo after X-Ray Spex, Steve Hackett went solo after Genesis, Edgar Froese went solo after Tangerine Dream, Jody Harris went solo after Contortions, Paul Haig went solo after Josef K, Gareth Sager went solo after The Pop Group, Klaus Dinger went solo after Neu! On the flip side, The Gordons turned into the better known band Bailter Space.

LP tracks crossing a large area in sound, era and locale. Some interesting pairings, such as Joy Division paired with Ringo Starr (it works!), or the more sensible Superstar paired with Sidewalk. Spend time here and you may just find something new to dig deeper on.
