RADIO BROADCAST #738
05–27–23
Fanatic. This is a bit of a different show than we usually have for you. For tonight, it’s Garage Rock from the last century. Below tonight’s track list, I put in the notes I made. Maybe they’ll be of use to you.
I don’t know much about any of these bands but I like these tracks. Talk about some rare vinyl! Some of 7”s these tracks come from are all but impossible to locate. Good thing for all the cool compilation albums out there.
Fanatic, I searched my emails and I can’t find the Fanatic who kindly steered me to a band called Helen and their album The Original Faces. Helen has Liz Harris from Grouper. I went to Discogs and listened to one of the tracks for a minute or two and was totally into it. I got a copy of the LP and the 7” as well. I think those tracks are off the LP. I got a chance to listen to the album a few nights ago. Perfect warm weather listening. I was thinking maybe we should listen to the entire album maybe later in the summer. A track on its own might be good but it could be the best way to check it out would be to listen to it from start to finish.
Also, here’s the Bandcamp address.
I think I told you last week I was listening to the A Divine Symmetry album. It’s basically, a remix of David Bowie’s Hunky Dory. Over the last few years, the revisiting of Lodger, Station To Station and The Man Who Sold The World (titled Metrobolist (Nine Songs By David Bowie)) did not convince me they were completely worthwhile projects. I’d like to recommend A Divine Symmetry on LP. The album includes Bombers, which sounds amazing. Actually, the whole album is incredible. If you like the Hunky Dory album, this is absolutely worth checking out.
My Australian dates start soon.
It’s sad to say goodbye to the great Tina Turner. Also, I think you should know that Mark Adams, bass player for the mighty Saint Vitus passed away a few days ago. What a great band. I’m grateful I got to see them play so many times.
We hope you like tonight’s concept show. I’ll be working on new shows for us to check out while I’m in Australia and New Zealand. We’ll keep it going.
Have a great week and stay Fanatic.
