Keep On Pushing

Well, I've been on a bit of a summer vacation from blogging, even though the shows have continued unabated. Special thanks to all who wrote to ask where the hell was the update, I've got the show from around 3 weeks ago here & good to go,
and will have this past week's show up this weekend.
The link for the episode below should be good for a while yet.

This show has it all - tales of Boston folk music larceny, psychedelic bossa nova, soul 45's stacked a foot high, driving blues, Long Island acid rock and an angry Linda Darnell!

Simply CLICK ON your tour guides the Everly Brothers below, and they will take you to the hottest spot in swingin' groovetime. And the menu below ain't just fish n' chips, bloke - she's got all the answers a smart bird such as yourself will need!

per-son-al-ity

When first is first and second is nobody, the pressure can really come on strong. Especially when you're a DJ with a solitary life and a yen for a sound you can't find. Searching, searching - in every dark alley and dusty old curio shop in town. Sometimes you score, and sometimes you wake up at the wheel of a brakeless sedan, with a lump on your head the size of a baseball, and a fifth of tequila poured down your shirtfront.

Not this time, pal. Today the good guys win - and it's all here in black & silver just in case you're skeptical - and need proof.

Simply CLICK ON those King Pins of crime below and "use them" to bring this sound to life. It all gets started around 2 minutes in.
Oh, and that list of names so many died to get safely in my hands? Well, it just happens to be reprinted a little further down, to assist you in cracking the case.

They Live By Night

Down these mean streams a man must go.
Who can you really trust?
Just relax, listen to the soothing music, and don't mind that pin prick. No, the needles here aren't hypodermic - just hi-fidelity, and we ask you to trip with us through the haze of June as we apply them to the wax. We'll explore urban bohemian funk, the birth of metal, see what 1964 had to offer besides Beatlemania, and many other sides of the reflective gem of this golden era.
Don't stare too closely at the center, though -
...and don't forget to feed the cat.
If your trip begins to turn strange, your guide is waiting below to set you straight. Close your eyes. We are here to help you.

Darkened Doorways

Here we are again.
Searching for that gem with the power to heal.
Once we held it in our hands and felt it's soul
warm our hearts. Now we must find it again, before all is lost.
And if we fall in love along the way, well, it's only Paris, right?

Enough of that - let's get dirty.
Things start off in a near-mob scene and soon
we're following the fuzztone leads through smoggy areas of
urban waste, on to rustic hills split by endless roads, acid parties
in tropical climes, and your aunt's 45 box circa 1965.
Have a click on the jumpsuit below to come along -
and go below the belt for playlist guidance.
I still owe you guys an old show, it's coming soon.
Respect to Desmond Dekker.

An Honest Guy

Here I am, late as always, later than usual. Hey - there's a thick web of legal hoops I have to jump through to clear all these photos for publication...yeah, that's it...
Anyway, The Boss is back and I'm driving from the back seat again. Just keep your eyes on the road and I'll take the wheel, spinning a full complement of the hardest of funk, the sweetest of soul and the soul-searching sounds of some acoustic poets. All this hype too confusing? Preview the playlist further down to see if it's your bag - or if you've got the nerve, just click on Bobby Byrd's brutally honest reaction to the phenomenon of hot pants below, and take to the road. Trust in me, I can handle this baby at any speed.
