Me, Willie, My Dog, Thalia, My Cat, and Twangy Guitars



Welcome to Episode 11 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I've missed a couple of weeks lately, mostly just working on my house during the weekends while Tab and Spence are away. It has been a little boring with them away, so I've tried to keep myself busy. A couple of weeks ago, my dad sent me a package with a bunch of Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard 7" 45s, so I put a couple on for today. The show has a lot of twangy guitar music, jangly, distorted, ringing, and just plain "twangy." Maybe it's because I've been talking to my dog and cat for the last 8 weeks, primarily, and need to get out more often.



There's a track by an old Philly band, The Strapping Fieldhands, since I had their old single. There's also a track by my band, Zombie vs. Shark, called "Cold Machine," which will appear on a split single next fall with one of our Norman band friends. It's the final mix, and the masters should be back soon.


The playlist for today is: Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, The Astronauts, Strapping Fieldhands, Come, Baker Street Irregulars, The Detroit Cobras, Volcano Suns, Zombie vs. Shark, Chris Brokaw, Mazzy Star, The Smiths, Fire Party, Scream, Tom Waits, Trouble Funk, Beastie Boys, Q and not U, The Cult, TSOL, Flying Saucer Attack, My Bloody Valentime, Flying Saucer Attack, Bardo Pond, and Lungfish.


Above is an old photo of Willie playing with my old band, Dona Sonora.

Thanks for tuning in, and see you next week!

Cheers,

Doc Rockavoy
