Fearfully and Wonderfully

Welcome to Episode 32 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! It's the third longest day of the year, so to instigate suspended animation of the time/space continuum, I put on a bunch of psychedelia and mopey, depressing tunes to make the long days of summer last. It's been nice and quiet lately all around, and you can hear a pin drop in Lincoln at night. I've had a hiatus from gigging with my band, and started a new project in a more proper garage psychedelia mode, called "Red Cites" with some friends of mine. I also went back to my novel "Fishtown," and hope to finish that up this summer. I've traveled too much this spring and early summer, and am digging reconnecting with the actual place where I live.

On the show today, there's some tracks from early Bardo Pond albums, and a bunch of Flying Saucer Attack and Lungfish tunes. There's a rare track off the "lost" My Bloody Valentine album, tracks from collaborators Mark Lanegan and Mike Johnson, one of the great underground guitar players. I also put a track from Zomes on the show, and you'll have to figure out who that is. I put my favorite The Gardes tunes on, and they're probably the one of the best Oklahoma bands that you've never heard. There's a great track from White Denim, and if you haven't seen them, put that on your list of things to do.

As I've said before, if you like a recording artist on this show, lay down some cash and buy the band's album!!! Musicians need strings, food, drum heads, mike stands, and amp repairs...

The show is a whopping 149 minutes! The playlist for today is: The Gardes, Flying Saucer Attack, Mazzy Star, Swervedriver, Flying Saucer Attack, Lungfish, My Bloody Valentine, Flying Saucer Attack, The Pupils, White Denim, Television, Low, Bardo Pond, My Bloody Valentine, Lungfish, Mark Lanegan, Mazzy Star, Jimi Hendrix, Bardo Pond, Zomes, Embrace, Mike Johnson, The Smiths, Flying Saucer Attack, and Lungfish.

Thanks for tuning in!

Cheers,

Tear the Club Up

Welcome to Episode 31 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I haven't been doing my shows too regularly the past 5 months, as my wife and I have been consumed with the after-effects of people we know who've died. Her mom died last October, and 5 of my close friends also died, one a month from August to December. It has been kind of weird to process it, by myself, so I used my health insurance to get a therapist. Being in your 40's is great, but it also sucks because that's when people start to die. For sure, I was unprepared to deal with death the first time.

Enough of the macabre, gallows fare, all the people who died would want me to keep the music regular! Today's show has a lot of new vinyl, particularly The Dirtbombs new album, "Party Store." You need to get this one if you like garage soul. I also put a track from Zomes, which is Asa Osbourne's solo project, who played guitar in Lungfish. The also a track from the Lungfish "ACR 1999" album, which were tracks done in the  Baltimore studio that were never released. The material from that session became "Necrophones" under Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios. It's raw, so you need to have it in your collection. I also threw some White Denim, Shitty/Awesome, Broncho, and the infamous Detroit band Death on there today as well.

I do have a podcast microphone, but I use it for recording my songwriting, so no boring narration on the show, still!!!

The playlist for today is: Broncho, MC5, Velvet Underground, Zombie vs. Shark, Death, Queens of the Stone Age, The Cult, The Dirtbombs, Blondie, Jawbox, Zombie vs. Shark, 3, The Damned, My Bloody Valentine, Lungfish, MC5, Turbonegro, Shitty/Awesome, The Dirtbombs, Zomes, White Denim, and Lungfish. The show is about 70 minutes long.

Thanks for tuning in, and see you next week!!

Cheers,
