The Paranoid Squirrel ep 481

Having been born in Beckenham and lived there, on and off, for the last 30 years David Bowie’s life and death had an impact on me. Whilst mainstream Radio Stations celebrated his life with great but obvious songs I go for a different approach by starting this week’s show with a Davie Jones With The King Bees song before going into a Motörhead track from “Bad Magic”. It’s not all doom and gloom with The Supersuckers and something from their “Holdin’ The Bag” album. Thee Martian Boyfriends are up next with an injection of some Farfisa organ. The Michael Monroe Band are bound for the United States next month, so to get our American chums in the mood and even more excited a track from “Blackout States” gets an airing. The Boys have just released a brand new video to whit I play the audio equivalent from “Punk Rock Menopause”. Non PC band Childbirth from Seattle have two tracks played one from each of their albums, which are “It’s A Girl” and “Women’s Rights”. Slade, who were the first band I got into back in March 1973, have that track, which set me on my musical journey played. A band who would be right at home in the early to mid 70’s are The Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell who just so happen to have released a brand new 7” on Rise Above Records. Obviously the A-Side gets a good going over. Captain Blood, from Denver, Colorado, with their Horror Punk make their debut onto The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. Turbonegro once again grace the airwaves with their latest single which came out last year. Sonny Vincent’s Son, Daughter-In-Law and Grandson were involved in a serious Apartment Fire suffering 50-80% burns, so Sonny has set up a GoFundMe Campaign to help with their Medical expenses, which you can donate to Here. Ghost Highway Recordings are also chipping in by giving all the proceeds from the “Lines On My Mirror” 7”, which I play, to the fund. The Royal Republic are the latest band to have a gig that clashes with an already booked ticket. (Ghost on March 2^nd) Even so I play another new track from their up and coming album. AC/DC finish things off this week because.....well just because.
