OUTSIDER MUSIC REDUX

PUNK PRESCRIPTION PLAYLIST 11-25-09

I was very fortunate to have the lovely and extremely knowledgeable JELLY ROLL CHICKEN as a guest on this show, to lend her expertise in outsider music from the first half of the 20th century. My contribution goes from the last half of the 20th and the early 21st centuries, culling the curious sounds of people making music that ignores or subverts standard musical and lyrical conventions. Take the challenge and let this show of unusual and eccentric songs take you to places you can barely imagine!

It’s time for the 3rd Gay Show, and this one is the best and most expansive so far! A lot of artists from my youth are represented – some of my faves of all time. There will be surprises and the music is all over the map, but it will prove that the Gay contingent in popular music kicks some major ass!

REMEMBERING UNCLE MIKE AND JAKE THE INTERN

PUNK PRESCRIPTION PLAYLIST 11-11-09

I’ve been sad to see two of the best DJs here at Pirate Cat Radio, Uncle Mike from Over The Line and Jake The Intern from White Vinyl Collection, leave Pirate Cat in the past few weeks, and I decided to dedicate this show to them. The first half will feature songs that Uncle Mike might play on his show, and the 2nd half will be songs Jake would certainly approve of. I hope they both come back someday, but for now I just want them an the Pirate Cat listening audience know that they are not forgotten…

THE INDIANA VS SF '70S UNDERGROUND SHOW

PUNK PRESCRIPTION PLAYLIST 11-04-09

The ‘70s are often maligned as a bad decade for interesting music, but so much of what happened in the underground during that decade has been since dug up and re-examined, and now we have a different picture of a plethora of cool stuff from unlikely places. So this week I’m presenting some archaeological finds from Indiana and San Francisco of bands that had and continue to have a huge affect on me.
