The Paranoid Squirrel

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 777

On this week’s show I apologise for “Bartongate”, still maintain misheard lyrics are correct, discover missing musical files, admit to snubbing a band first time around, believe a song finished another radio show when it didn’t but it should, wonder if you’ve tested positive for Covid 19 would you still need to self Isolate for two weeks if you were going to Dignitas, all to the music of;
Jello Biafra,
Sex Pistols,
Silent Like A Bomb,
Dead Hombres,
Grand Theft Audio,

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 776

Where to I start with this week’s cock ups? Well to be fair there was only one, quite a big one as the wrong Ident was aired for “Compare and Contrast”. I didn’t realise until later on and then proceeded to blame Producer Barton Stacey, who I made cry. Fortunately, due to Convid restrictions (He was shut in the Conservatory so he didn’t have to come into the studio) you can’t hear his wailing, but I certainly could see him gesticulating. I also go old school by taping something off the radio; I bore you with my attempt at being a musician, unearthing 20 year old demos. All set to the wonderful music provided by;
Billy Karloff,
The Ruts,
The Eddies,
CJ Wildheart,
Dead Furies,
Shark Island,
Silent Like A Bomb,
Charlie Benante,
Alice Cooper,
Die Toten Hosen,

Vice Squad,
Fly High Michelle
and Scene Killers. 

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 775

On this week’s show I remember how great two songs from two different bands sound played together live, fawn over a couple of albums that have Damned connections, finally get to play a track from a delayed album, big up a new Vinyl only Record Label, almost claim misrepresentation until I read the small(ish) print, mention an on-line auction with the money raised going to Save Our Venues, award “Band Name of the Week/Month” and coo over a Powerpop recommendation all to the music of;

Midnight Evils,

Chris Catalyst,
Duncan Reid and the Big Heads,

The Paranoid Squirrel ep 773

Over the course of the hour amongst some curtailed ramblings, I will forget headlining bands, musically almost mix two bands up and announce a new Segmentation, wonder which Motörhead song to play from the Deluxe Edition of “Ace of Spades” and remember Brian James played with J J Burnell all to the music of;

On this week’s Show I wonder why Rat Scabies never played in the studio with Johnny Thunders, then marvel at Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Phil Lynott who actually did, almost come to tears on discovering that you don’t need to purchase CDs or mp3s anymore, get on board with a KickStarter Project, ‘fess up that an interview I conducted didn’t record and book tickets for a gig next month to the joyous sounds of;
