With Crawdaddy Simone whirling round my brain still I need my thirst quenched.
Action Woman - The Litter ( is this better than The Electras ? )
Boss Hogg - The Sonics
Deuces Wild - Link Wray
Being a respectable home counties boy does Gid have to pronounce it 'ga-rah-ge rock'? Also, if it had originated in this country might it have been called 'Shed Rock'?
That first Sonics album is a brilliant record.
It's always ga-rahge isn't it. Gar-ridge is something totally different.
Happy to play some more. Let's have an hour of it at the end of August on that bank holiday. I'll discuss it with the Spear tonight. Though we also need to discuss the Doc Boggs debacle.
How about an hour of ancient american Roots music as well?
Or a Southern Swamp Badlands theme ( note may not contain bands who are actually from the Deep South ) a la Cave,Rocket from the Crypt, Tindersticks,Gallon Drunk,Gun Club,some Cajun,Blues and Ry Cooders theme from Southern Comfort.

That sounds interesting! I like to be educated, me
A big thumbs-up from me for the "no records post-1955" hour idea. I bet that hasn't been done on the radio since... 1955.
I, for one, would like to nominate Mississippi John Hurt for the Pre-1955 hour if it comes to pass.

How about a whole show of great songs that have typewriters in them. I'd start with:
Exhuming McCarthy by REM
Foundation and Earth by The Earlies
I'll leave others to flesh out the rest of the show.
grinderman's no pussy blues - very good typewriter
elvis costello's king of thieves from punch the clock mentions the clatter of the typewriter. there's a half assed attempt on guitar to mimic said clatter.
i reckon mr & mrs mccartney's just another day missed a trick. always imagined the subject of the song typed for a living.
