Welcome to Episode 35 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I've been away lately, traveling for work and just scratching to catch up with everything, including my podcast. The Plains heat wave of 2012 finally broke, and it rained, all day, yesterday, so I'm looking forward to my vegetable garden recovering and yielding some yummy stuff before the first frost. An ethno-botanist I know said this year was one of the worst droughts in the paleo-ecological record, and among the ethnohistorical record on the Plains, and we had a discussion about the bummer of no summer home grown vegetables. We're at the mercy of the catch basin for Rocky Mountain moisture! The Plains live and die by it.
Beyond nerding out on home gardens, I've got another punk rock and hardcore filled show today, again, and this might be one of the last heavy shows for some time, as I'm feeling the need record some shows that have jazz/R & B, and other stuff out of my record collection soon. I think I'll do one more heavy show this late summer/fall. After that, I'll move into some more mellow territory with the show.
Well, there's some good stuff on here today. I decided, again, to put on Montreal-based post-punk band Jet Black, who's sound is in the Swervedriver and Jawbox vein. Their album, Escape Measures is worth mail-ordering and putting in your record collection. I also put on a tune by Truman's Water, which was this crazy noise/math rock band that reminds me of a very distorted Pavement. I also put on "Moral Majority" by Youth Brigade, not the L.A. Better Youth Organization Records band, but the DC hardcore band from the "Flex Your Head" compilation. This song has now assumed some currency, after 33 years. Who would have thought? I also put on a weird tune by Sick Pleasure, and also Ignition, if you know your punk, you'll know these bands.
The show is about 75 minutes, and the playlist is: Embrace, Off!, Code of Honor, MIA, Government Issue, The Cramps, Das Damen, Jimi Hendrix, Jet Black, Lungfish, Kraut, MC5, Truman's Water, Fugazi, Government Issue, Youth Brigade, Off! Scream, Desert Sessions, Grand Mal, Sick Pleasure, Gray Matter, The Make-Up, The Dirtbombs, Ignition, and Minor Threat.
Thanks for tuning in!
Cheers,

Panic Attack

Welcome to Episode 34 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! We've been through a month heat wave out here in Nebraska, and it's been brutal. Everything is brown; it's too hot to skate; and the pools close this week around town. I just got back from playing the Free Tulsa Music Festival with my band, and it was 108 degrees when we played, which was outdoors in a courtyard surrounded on three sides by brick walls. I felt like an wood oven baked pizza. ! I was also a little swoony after we played, as did most of the bands that day. The temps are down, and the skatepark is looking good to go now.
For today's show, I put on some new records I got recently, which people will like a lot. There's a track from a great Montreal band called Jet Black, who sound a little like Swervedriver, and pretty much rule. There's also a cool track from Dikes of Holland, which I picked up in Norman during rehearsals for the festival. One of the surprises I bought recently was the band Off!, which is Keith Morris' new project. I thought it would be lame, but I was surprised. I bought the box set of 4 singles, 4 songs each, and it just blares late 70s LA punk rock! It really kicks. It's kind of supergroup, with Dimitri Coats from Burning Brides on guitar; Mario Rubalcaba from the Hot Snakes on drums; and Steve McDonald from Red Kross on bass. You need this for your record collection. The first track on the show is a great misanthropic (or charitable, you decide) song called "F**k People."
I also picked up The Who, Live at Leeds, in the used record section, and side two just kicks ass as well, so I thought I'd put "My Generation" on, which is 15 minutes long. After Hendrix died, all the big guitar players had just been influenced by him, and Pete Townsend tries to reach that potential, but doesn't quite do it. But it's still pretty rad guitar playing. There's a great track from Thee Hypnotics as well.
The playlist for today is: Off!, Jet Black, Dikes of Holland, Zombie vs. Shark, Government Issue, Thee Hypnotics, The Who, Drive Like Jehu, Lungfish, Desert Sessions, Fugazi, The Zeros, Lungfish, Adolescents, Death, MC5, Dirtbombs, Off! The show is bit over 60 minutes.
Thanks for tuning in!
