Welcome to Episode 27 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I thought I'd put on some more garage rock today, since it's the holiday season and garage rock is like home-cooked, comfort food. As always, independent rock and roll is always the best, even though a few tracks were released on big labels, but not many.
A couple of highlights on the show is Bardo Pond's "Capillary River," off the Bufo Alverius album on Drunken Fish Records. There's also "Girl Violence" by The State, an Ann Arbor punk band and the single was mixed by Ron Asheton. There's great track by Norman OK band Broncho called "Psychitrist" and this album is rapidly becoming my favorite album of the recent past. It is a must have.
The playlist for today is: Swervedriver, Scream, Come, Rites of Spring, 18th Dye, Broncho, Queens of the Stone Age, Zen Guerilla, Zombie vs. Shark, Minor Threat, The Swirlies, Bardo Pond, Flying Saucer Attack, Mazzy Star, Lungfish, Jimi Hendrix, Articles of Faith, The State, The Zeros, MC5, Detroit Cobras, and Slant 6.
Thanks for tuning in!
Cheers,

Drop the Bomb

Welcome to Episode 26 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I thought I'd play some R & B music today of various sorts, Acid Jazz, Jazz, Funk, Garage Psychedelia, Ska, and other stuff since the show has been too heavy on punk rock lately. There's a great confluence of R & B and rock on some of the tracks, so it fits the format of my show.
I decided to put on some James Blood Ulmer, a very influential acid jazz guitarist that needs to be more acknowledged in the rock community (he should have been included in Rolling Stone's recent "100 Greatest Guitar Player" poll!!). I also decided to put on some Fishbone, which was a great ska-rock band from Los Angeles, recently profiled as being influential in the New York Times. I put on some Don Byas, and couldn't resist a track of "Silver Bells" off the Johnny Mathis Christmas album, to get into the season's spirit. There's also a track from Hot Cold Sweat, one of the great D.C. go-go bands.
The playlist for today is: James Blood Ulmer, Beefeater, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Levine, Don Byas, Love Revisited, Fishbone, The Dirtbombs, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Johnny Mathis, The English Beat, Fenton Robinson, Jimi Hendrix, Charles Mingus, Desmond Dekkar, and James Blood Ulmer.
Thanks for tuning in!
