Another Holiday: Playlists for 12.2.22 & 12.9.22

 

Two weeks of playlists for you because, yes, it is that time of the semester. Quite a few new releases, from the likes of Movie Movie with a groovy, groovy holiday song that you can hear in the fantastic video above , Danny Boy & His Big Britches (Danny Kurtz --- Backsliders, Phil Lee, etc.), who deliver a whopping dose of rock'n'roll, Xposed 4heads with a new Christmas ditty, power pop long-haulers Sloan, and an awesome archival release of Hozac from the Revelons and much more.

Two tributes to this week to musicians who passed away way, way too soon: Peter Cooper, who was also a noted music journalist and frequent collaborator with Eric Brace, and Jess Barr from Slobberbone. 

No show for me this Friday as I tackle more of the aforementioned papers, but I will be back Dec. 23 for my annual Don't Bite Santa, Dusty holiday show. 

This way to Zero Hour for Dec. 9 and that way to Dec. 2 (only a partial show, unfortunately).

YouTube Movie of the Week: Bo Diddley Documentary 1966

Devil Shootin' Dice: Playlist for 11.25.22

 

Hope everyone had a tip-top Thanksgiving! I was the lucky guest of Ryan King and Wendy Norton, who are great friends and the rock'n'rollers who put the Ramma and Lamma in my opening theme song each and every week. 

New releases this week from the legendary Senders, who have a dynamite new double LP or double CD compilation out on Wisconsin-based Left for Dead Records. Also new music this week from Wild Billy Childish & the Singing Loins on Damaged Goods, Churchwood on Saustex and the Popular Creeps on Big Stir Records.

In other news this week, Kicksville USA, the online radio arm of Norton Records and Kicks Magazine, debuted, delivering way-killer music 24/7 and "special focus" programs like interviews with Dion and lost recordings from Fortune Records - oh, my! Listen at their website or at TuneIn.

This way to Zero Hour.

You Tube Movie of the Week

And I'm Back: Playlist for 11.18.22

Returning to Blogspot for playlist posting and assorted rambling -- can you feel the excitement? Dig this episode, my return after many teaching-related absences this fall. I played a few new albums, including ones by Joecephus and The George Jonestown Massacre, Bird Streets and the dynamite new Gear Fab compilation, Psychedelic States: The Carolinas in the '60s. I also did a belated and brief tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis. I just might do another belated tribute next week.

It was a Discovery Radio week, so Zero Hour starts about 30 minutes into the archive. Hoping to do more than post playlists on the site, which I kind of used to do when I first started the blog, We'll see -- hope to see you around! I accidentally deleted my reading list, so please let me know if there are blogs, etc. I should add. Thanks to Tim "Quixotronic" Demeter for the groovy, outstanding, tip-top new blog logo.
