Invert the State

https://archive.org/details/DocRockavoyEpisode39

Welcome to episode 39 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! It's been some time since I posted a new show, as things have been busy this past summer and fall. I've been gigging with my new band, Red Cities, and co-running a record label, Modern Peasant Records, with Robert and Nate from The Putters. In between, I've gotten some new vinyl and found some old stuff in my record collection to put on the show.

For the new stuff, there's some Times New Viking, their first album on Siltbreeze Records, and also a Pre-Opal track on a rare release by Kendra Smith, from The Dream Syndicate with David Roback and William Mitchell. There's a live track from the re-issue of Come, 11:11 and the re-mastered Queens of the Stone Age first album, as well as the Lungfish ACR sessions release. I put on a track by Death, too.

I found my TSOL E.P., and "Man and Machine" kicks off the show. I put on a rare Rocket from the Crypt single, on Merge Records, "Pigeon Eater" for the The Atom Age guys we played with in Lincoln, who are much influenced by them.

There's some local Lincoln, NE bands on the show, off Dirty Talker's "Letters," and also Powers first release. There's a hot, rock'in track from the The Putters "Good Friends with Your Mother" E.P., as well as Red Cities "Burnout." I found the first Green River album, so there's something from that here.

The playlist is: TSOL, My Bloody Valentine, Kinski, QOTSA, My Bloody Valentine, Times New Viking, Embrace, Jawbox, Rocket From the Crypt, Red Cities, Dirty Talker, The Putters, Powers, Zombie vs. Shark, Obits, Kendra Smith (Pre-Opal), Deathfix, Lungfish, Come, Broncho, Death, The Dirtbombs, Turbonegro, Green River, Government Issue, The Damned, Lungfish.

The show is about 80 minutes.

Thanks for tuning in!

Looking at You

https://archive.org/details/DocRockavoyEpisode38

Welcome of Episode 38 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I've taken a long hiatus from the podcast, mostly due to traveling too much the past year, and also that my son, Spencer, is raring to go on the weekends in the morning, after school, and all other waking times. We do lots of stuff together, and my hours for doing my own stuff are limited. That's cool, so I had some time today to get some new vinyl into the ether.

On the show today are a bunch of local bands from both Lincoln, NE and Norman, OK where I've lived,a and now live, so be sure to check out the new Putters track, this is my friend Robert's Seattle band, and they get together to record every summer. There's also a new track from the legendary Debris', which is from a single out on Little Mafia Records. There's also tracks by the Lincoln bands The Renfields and UUVVWWZ, which are off new full length albums. There's one from my new band, Red Cities, off a new 7" coming out next month.

Other standouts on the show is a live Damned track of the MC5's "Looking at You"; Also "Songs to Make Michael Jackson Money" by Das Damen, which is a cover of Magical Mystery Tour with Wayne Kramer on guitar. There's a great track off the newly released Rites of Spring demo out on Dischord, sounds really rad and rackety. Also, a new Kinski track off there raring new album.

The playlist for today is: Desert Sessions, The Putters, Thee Hypnotics, Redd Kross, Jet Black, Iron Butterfly, Red Cities, The Renfields, Rites of Spring, The Three O'Clock, Code of Honor, The Damned, UUVVWWZ, Debris', Kinski, DOA, and Das Damen.

Thanks for tuning in!

Cheers,
