The Paranoid Squirrel

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 674

“It’s here, it’s there, it’s every fooking where. The Paranoid Squirrel, The Paranoid Squirrel....” Well, when I said “everywhere” I meant either Podbean and Spotify or failing them; Sunday morning 9 am on Rock Radio UK as a repeat. Obviously. Tracks I cued up and played, without having to resort to fading any of them out, apart from the show outro, came courtesy of;
The Hellacopters,
Hellebore,
Mötley Crüe,
John Mayall,
Asomvel,
Backyard Babies,
Black Bombers,
Eight Rounds Rapid,
Johnny Moped,
The Damned,
The UK Subs
and The Stranglers.

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 673

It’s now Saturday, the day after the event. Episode 673 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show was that event that you can now Download and Stream. Just in case you were out last night. Or forgot. Or only listen on Podbean. Anyway, tracks that you will hear will come courtesy of;
Jonny Manak & the Depressives,
Asomvel,
The Hip Priests,
The Wildhearts,
Whitesnake,
Märvel,
Queensryche,
The DeRellas,

and Bexley.

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 672

Apart from my voice getting decidedly croaky towards the end of yesterday’s show, I think The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, that aired last night on Rock Radio UK, went rather smoothly. Bands and Artists that I played over the course of the show, which you can now Stream or Download to your hearts content, were:
Lords of the New Church,
Ramones,
Johnny Thunders & Wayne Kramer,
Vegasettes,
Johnny Moped,
Warrior Soul,
Bexley,
Enuff Z’nuff,
Last Great Dreamers,
Melisandre’s Beaver,
Dan Vapid & the Cheats
and Captain Sensible.

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 671

Okay, two errors this week; I mispronounced King Mastino, I know, me mispronounce something, unbelievable and I ran out of time to play the Ramones at the end of the show. Admittedly I had just over a minute left which meant I probably could’ve snuck something in and maintain my credibility, but you know me far too well. So, the revised running order that you can now Stream or Download is thus;
Julian Cope,
Johnny Moped,
The Fiascos,
The Weird Things,
The WitchDoktors,
Vegasettes,
The Chuck Norris Experiment,
King Mastino,
Märvel,
Motörhead,
Discharge,
The Clash,
The Desert Sessions
but not the Ramones.

 

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 670

Apparently due to a Technical Issue, my fault, last night’s show might not have aired. I’ve no idea what I did wrong, but I did. Not that any of this will affect you my streaming and downloading listeners or those of you who tune in to the repeat on Rock Radio UK this Wednesday at 9pm. Anyway, staving off mediocrity I played tracks, if not songs from these artists;
Dee Dee Ramone,
Moons of Saturn,
The Hip Priests,
Alvin Gibbs,
Focus,
The Ruts,
The Professionals,
Johnny Jetson,
The Spangles,
The Speedways,
More Kicks,
Rich Ragany and the Digressions,
The Backyard Babies
and Hank Von Hell.

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 669

In a packed pre-recorded Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, well I was coming back from the Black Heart after seeing Rich Ragany and the Digressions, The Speedways, More Kicks and The Spangles, I most definitely played, apparently without factual inaccuracies, tracks from these artists on Rock Radio UK last night;
Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers,
Criminal Mind,
The UK Subs,
Jetboy,
Jake Starr and the Delicious Fullness,
Blue Oyster Cult,
TV Eye,
Laibach,
Carol King,
Watts,
The Professor and the Madman,
Duncan Reid and the Bigheads,
LA Guns
and The Valhounds

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 668

Finally, after a 4 month wait, I got to sit down with Alvin Gibbs bassist with the UK Subs and at one time Iggy Pop and Cheap & Nasty. Along with pertinent questions regarding Alvin’s solo album “Your Disobedient Servant” and Croydon (sic) I air some accompanying solo material. However, before all that though you’ll get to hear;

Ramones,
Watts,
Los Pepes,
Jake Starr and the Delicious Fullness,
Rat Scabies
and The Wildhearts

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 667

“You’ve been unwell” I said to myself “Pre-record Episode 667 as you’re bound to make a flu induced error, which you’ll be able to correct it and tuck yourself into bed earlier.” Well I certainly did tuck myself up as is my wont, if not way, I made a catalogue of errors. Well, all right just the one; The Hip Priests will be playing the Lounge in Camden on the 22^nd March and Manchester the following day and not the 24^th and 25^th like I claimed. Apart from that, over the course of the show, I share three of my Co-Codamol dreams interwoven with tracks from;
Hydromatics,
Duncan Reid and the Big Heads,
The Phobics,
Knox,
The DeRellas,
Alvin Gibbs,
Andy McCoy,
Johnny Thunders,
The Damned,
The Hip Priests,
Märvel
and Speed City Vipers.

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 666

So all right I missed pronounced Super$hit666, I mean how hard can it be…..I put it down to my excitement at re-claiming my Mojo after last week’s “not into it” show. Plus, it was Episode 666 so maybe Mister B. L. Zebub had a cloven hoof in it. Anyway, bands that enticed and enthused over the hour were;
Iron Maiden,
SuperShit666,
Venom,
The Beatles,
 Demolition 23,
The Hip Priests,
Broken Bones,
Shark Island,
Vice Squad,
CrashDïet,
Millencolin,
Electric Mary,
Sylvain Sylvain & the Criminals
and the Rolling Stones.

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 665

As predicted by me on unsocial media yesterday, even though I had a shed load of new and exciting stuff to play, I didn’t get it together in time for last night’s Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show on Rock Radio UK. Too much, sleeping, eating and drinking preceded it and not necessarily in that order. So you will hear a whole hours worth of live Ramones instead. Normal (sic) service will resume next week......
