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.

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.
