Unfortunately, due to a family emergency Sunday’s show was hurriedly pre-recorded and instead of me warbling on between tracks I’ve set my musical library to shuffle, so you’ll still get an hours’ worth quality music that you’d normally expect, just not any chat. Normal services will resume on Friday. Thank you for your understanding.
This Morning’s Paranoid Squirrel breakfast Show has been Podbeaned ready for you to Stream or Download. Once again as with Friday’s show it was pre-recorded with very much a Scandinavian feel to it. So put on your dancing shoes as you are only one “Click” away from hearing tracks from;
The Sweet,
Anti-Nowhere League,
The Kurt Baker Combo,
Märvel,
The Hellacopters,
Gluecifer,
Bloodlights,
Flaming Sideburns,
The Nomads,
The Backyard Babies
and Hanoi Rocks.
This morning’s Paranoid Squirrel Breakfast Show (9am Rock Radio UK) that came at you live the day after Mrs A’s Birthday shenanigans and a Wedding Reception, which I foretold as either going to be one of two ways; a lively affair, worthy of an award, or one hell of a Car Crash.

As it’s the first Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show of 2018 I kicked things off this week with Pilot. Well, obviously it is that song, but as you can play it for only the first 4 weeks of the year, unless you’re Kory Clarke, I thought I’d wheel it out. Up next, it’s some acoustic shenanigans from Role Model Rich Rags who played the Brook in Wallington on the 29th. The Vegan Restaurant and Bar of The Brook is relocating to Mare Street in Hackney on the 19th. However, the Recording Studio is staying put. Jake Starr and the Delicious Fullness have just issued a brand spanking new modtastic 7” for us to enjoy. The a-side is “You Better Run” backed with a live version of “Weed Bus”. Of course, the a-side gets an airing. Jake also crops up on the new Chuck Norris Experiment rarity, compilation CD “Hotter Stuff”; 13 tracks of singles, covers and b-sides. Jake contribution is on the single version of The Misfits cover “Where Eagles Dare” along with HeWhoCanNotBeNamned, but it’s the previously unreleased track that gets played, or is it…..? Discharge recently supported The Misfits over in the US of A. Quite a coup I think you’ll agree. To celebrate I play a live track from their “Live at the City Gardens, New Jersey” album. Well, as there was a strict no Mobile/Cell policy, the chances of seeing or hearing Discharge in their supporting role are going to be slim to none. Straight afterwards I play the Headliners as it would be rude not to. As well as playing at The Parish in Huddersfield on the 17th February as part of the series of Scott Sorry Testimonial/Fund Raising gigs, The Drama Club Rejects are just about to release a new ep on the 20th January called “Anywhere but Here”. Of course I play something from it. As I’ve strayed into fund raising territory, a campaign has been set up for the family of Rev. Jim Forrester bassist from Foghound and Serpents of Secrecy who was shot and killed outside the Baltimore Tattoo Museum where he worked five days before Christmas. A new Foghound track “Keep On Shovelling” that was going to be used as part of an upcoming Split 7” project has been now made available to benefit the family of Rev Jim. It’s one of those “Name Your Price” downloads, so anything you have going spare will be much appreciated. Plus it’s a great song as you will hear. CrashDiet have also just released their first single to feature vocalist number 4, Gabriel Keyes, in the shape and form of “We are the Legion”, it certainly was worth the wait as is the new material from former TigerTailz vocalist Kim Hooker who has amassed a new band called Bare Knuckle Messiahs. Two tracks from the band’s debut album are doing the internet rounds, one of which I play. A new band to me are Diamond Black, although various members, Ben Christo and Justin Lightspeed aren’t. Diamond Black have just released their first foray into singledom with the track “Sorrow”. Impressed, much. For fans of; The Cult, HIM, Judas Priest, ABBA, basically if you like Rock, you’ll like Diamond Black. Probably. I received two e-mails last week, well not only two e-mails but two with music attached. First it was Dead Furies and then it was Sick Boys Revue. As the bands took the trouble to send me music, I take the time and air them. Onto “Re-issue Corner” with The Cavemen and White Boy and the Average Rat Band debut albums getting the 2018 re-mastered treatment. Bonus tracks ahoy! A tune from each takes us up to the one hour mark and the end of this week’s show. Boo and hiss!

The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show on Rock Radio UK this week was been pre-recorded; as I had pre-Birthday shenanigans in my local Pizza Express before moving to my nearest Wetherspoon, don’t judge me. Songs that played by these artists whilst I was freezing my nether regions off after being kicked out of the pub and waiting for a 356 to take me home were;
Adam Bomb,
Steve Conte,
Biters,
Michael Cassidy,
Flaming Sideburns,
Gluecifer,
The Hellacopters,
The Good the bad and the Zugly,
Dream Aria,
Doll Hazard,
UK Subs,
Audrey Horne
and Borracho.
The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, this week, should’ve been a much more relaxed affair, as hadn’t spent the day bombing up and down various Motorways, then catching up with School chums, keeping one eye on the time. Unfortunately, I cocked up twice; No 1 cock up was that I didn’t set the balance right, so if you listened in live things got loud and then things got not so loud. It’s all sorted now for the stream and Download. Cock up No 2 was that I said that Johnny Moped were playing live at the 100 Club on the 8th March, he’s not. It’s the 9th. Luckily an astute listener sent me a text telling me of my faux pas so I was able to correct myself later on in the programme. However, I still managed to play tracks from these artists on my Rock Radio UK slot which aired last night at 11pm (GMT);
Adam West,
Borracho,
Channel 43,
Jake Starr and The Delicious Fullness,
Motörhead,
Johnny Moped,
The Professionals,
Robin Black,
Maximum RNR,
The Hip Priests,
Royal Republic,
Michael Monroe
and Husker Du.
No e-mails, no texts, so it looks like last night’s show on Rock Radio UK went off all right. Although to balance things out, as I ran short on last week’s show, I over ran on this week’s. Not that you’d have known if you listened in live as I skilfully faded things out at the appointed time. So, if you Stream or Download yesterday’s show you’ll be treated to a whole 2 ½ minutes of extra music. That includes;
Smack,
Justin and the Unclean,
The Supersuckers,
The Crybabys,
Role Models,
Hardcore Superstar,
Derwood Andrews,
Sonic Screamers,
The Professionals,
Indonesian Junk,
The Routes,
The Cherry Dolls,
Broken Bones
and Metallica.
