The Paranoid Squirrel ep 502

It’s the Bank Holiday Weekend which means one of two things; it’s pouring with rain and ITV are showing a James Bond film. So to alleviate you from this, well for an hour, for your listening pleasure I have The Damned live in session for BBC 6Music. Then The Witchdoktors unleash a new track from their soon to be released “Voodoo Eye” album. Dom Daley from Über Rock, who I bumped into at The Royal Albert Hall, pointed me in the direction of Mink Daggers and Rough Kids. A track from each band is therefore aired. The Ramones debut album is getting the “40th Anniversary Box-set” treatment so I get carried away tripping over myself to order it from the most expensive site I could find. Of course to illustrate this a Ramones tune is played. Staying in NYC; D-Generation are all set to release their first new album since 1999s “Through The Darkness”. “Nothing Is Anywhere” is due to hit the real and virtual record stores on July 29th and features the classic line-up of Jesse Malin, who I’ll seeing at The Borderline on the 15th July, Howie Pyro, Richard Bacchus, Danny Sage and Michael Wildwood. 13 tracks of well, what D-Generation do best and to prove it I play a track from said album. Swiftly following D-Generation are The Outside Hours who hail from Barcelona and a song from their “Devil’s Right Hand” CD. More new music and Ulysses’ “Law And Order” LP is out next Friday which is guaranteed to keep you “Smiling”. After an absence of maybe one or two years, sorry I mean weeks The Hip Priests have released yet another new single. Of course I play one of the two tracks in question and to be honest this is the finest couple of tunes the band has put out. Adam Bomb’s gear is no longer “Stranded” in Mainland Europe having successful crowd funded enough money to have sent back to the States. In recognition I air an Adam Bomb track which he has just shot a video to. Back to new music and The Claypool Lennon Delirium, who feature Les Claypool from Primus and Sean Lennon, Neil Diamond’s Nephew have a tracked played from their debut album “Monolith of Phobos”. Mrs A. thinks they sound like “Syd era Pink Floyd if he’d taken even more hallucinogenic drugs.” Watts new album “The Black Heart Of Rock ‘n’ Roll” is due out on the 10th June and to get you in the mood I play a track from it. Wrapping this week’s show up is a track from an album that is already out by one day which comes courtesy of the Black Bombers self-titled debut. Enjoy.
