The Paranoid Squirrel ep 514

Starting the turntable going this week are the UK Subs and one of the tracks from their “November 1977 Demo 7”” I was hoping to play you on last week’s show but was thwarted by Royal Mail. Richie Ramone has just released his second album called “Cellophane” a track of which I play. I did heartily chuckle at the spoof news that the remaining Ramones were reuniting for one final t-shirt. After bumping to Mat Sargent last Saturday at The Fiascos gig in Croydon I was stoked to learn that Jimmy Pursey was visiting his Record label with a view to finally releasing the Day 21 album. To whit I play a track from them from the “We Are All Prisoners” CD. Onto more new music in the shape and form of The Backstabbers and The Hangovers before I hit the pledge section for Ryan Hamilton & The Traitors, The Vibrators and Adam Bomb who has gone down a new route for me in www.tradiio.com which is like a mainstream version of Ginger’s G.A.S.S. where you pay the musician a nominal monthly fee to gain access to demos, live gigs, unreleased tracks. You know the score. As I’ve unfortunately missed The Cavemen from New Zealand on two separate occasions I try and get forgiveness by playing a track by them before The Dictators come screaming in. Faith No More have just released a deluxe version of their debut “We Care A Lot” album with a host of demos, live tracks and some stunning re-mixes. One of which I obviously play. It’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it. After eight years Metallica have finally released a brand new track which is taken from their forthcoming album which is due out in November. Is it a return to form or are they treading water with no lifeboat in sight? Rounding things off for another week are The Professionals and a Monitor Mix from their Box Set and The Sonic Rendezvous Band with a live recording of that iconic track.
