The Paranoid Squirrel ep 500

Blimey O’Riley! 500 Episodes! Well this show is no different from the other 499 as you’ll hear music from bands that you should hear on the Radio but don’t. Getting the celebrations underway are Rumney Rock City’s most wanted The Sick Livers who get a helping hand from Andy Cairns. Texas Terri Bombs in with song then it’s the turn of The Main Grains featuring Danny McCormack to up the ante. It’s then a quick trip over the pond to NYC for The Threads then we return home to Abandon Cause and a track from their debut ep. New singles from Turbonegro and Imperial State Electric unfortunately don’t live up to my expectations. I play them anyway to see if it’s just me. Radio Birdman, who are over here in Dear Olde Blighty next month, have their Record Store Day 7” aired. I recently read that great swaths of Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor’s personal effects were being auctioned off in the States. Surely the estates of Lemmy, Phil and even Würzel could’ve got together for a Motörhead Museum? Obviously a Motörhead track is played which is swiftly followed by The Hydromatics with the very first track I played on Episode 1 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. As Hey! Hello! have announced Hollis replacement, I was surprised in a “I didn’t see that coming” kind of way, I play a track from “Hey! Hello! Too!” which will soon be re-worked, re-recorded with additional songs. The Ruts DC have a stonkingly good new single out which I play, with the last song this week coming from Andy Shernoff written about Joey Ramone who would’ve been 65 on the 19^th May.
