Welcome to Episode 37 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! It seems that fall is on its way, with the seasonal shift in sunlight, so I bet everyone is tired waking up in the dark. September is always a good month, not too hot, not too cold, but just close enough to Halloween and pumpkin season to make it all worthwhile. We'll head off to the Roca pumpkin patch this year with Spencer to get our usual carving Jack'O    Lanterns, and then get a Halloween outfit. He was a vampire last year, and mummies are really in right now, so that one should be easy, just white ace bandages. Other than that, I finally got my new garage punk/psychedelia band up and running, called Red Cities (more Red Vienna than OKC, by the way....), and we'll be out gigging in November. This is the last podcast before I embark on 14 straight days of work, so the next one will likely be all punk rock!

I put on a lot of the same artist this show, dominated by the prince of darkness himself, Mark Lanegan. He certainly tops Bob Dylan as America's all-time singer-songwriter, but he didn't have a (lame) magazine like Rolling Stone to promote him and dozens of bad yuppie-growing-up films to make him the soundtrack to people's lives. There's also some Gardes on the show, this track with Watermelon Slim. I threw on some Lush, Kyuss, Flying Saucer Attack (their back-catalog is huge), and the John Cale mixes of The Stooges first album, if you haven't heard them. 

The show is about 105 minutes, and the playlist is: Flying Saucer Attack, Lush, The Gardes, Swervedriver, Flying Saucer Attack, Mark Lanegan, Kyuss, Sonic Youth, Flying Saucer Attack, The Stooges, My Bloody Valentine, Mark Lanegan, Swervedriver, Zen Guerilla, Mark Lanegan, P.J. Harvey, Flying Saucer Attack, Mark Lanegan, and The Doors.

Thanks for tuning in!

Cheers,

Welcome to Episode 36 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! Well, the Fall equinox is upon us and the seasonal shift in sunlight is making everyone tired. After a scorching hot summer, we got our first rain this week, which caused the trees to perk up. Hopefully these hot summers will not be the norm, as mother nature does what it wants no matter what you believe about science. Nothing really going on lately, except skateboarding and Spencer starting school, so there's nothing to report. I hope everyone celebrated themselves over Labor Day weekend!

Today I put on some stuff I don't listen to very often, bands like Faraquet, Skinyard, Q and Not U, The Evens, Slant 6 among others. These bands are great, though! I put on a Skinyard tune that has the infamous Helios Creed on second guitar, so all you Hawkwind fans should dig it, and you'll note how often Helios Creed has been ripped off by other bands! I started the show with "Teenager in a Box" by Government Issue, which was a rare 7" EP that had Brian Baker on guitar. My friend Kasey owned it, and I have it on tape, but Dischord released the GI Complete Sessions, so it's available again. There's some Obits, Times New Viking (the Slitbreeze Records EP), and Articles of Faith, which has influenced a lot of loud, math-rocky types of bands, notably the local OKC band CHUD. The new Redd Kross album is on here, too.

The show is about 80 minutes, and the playlist is: Government Issue, Dream Syndicate, Broncho, Obits, Depth and Current, Off!, Times New Viking, Slant 6, Faraquet, Redd Kross, Rites of Spring, Scream, Lungfish, Dag Nasty, The Faith, Fugazi, 7 Seconds, The Evens, Skinyard, The Cult, Q and Not U, Scream, The Stooges, Dag Nasty, The Dirtbombs, Code of Honor.

Thanks for tuning in!
