Cold Machine
Welcome to Episode 52 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! We're finally in springtime and hitting the 80s and 90s already, so I thought I'd do a show this afternoon. I've been traveling a lot lately and just returned from Philly, which was really cool to see some old friends. Other than that we've been working on our garden; my son is almost done with school; and been getting together the new Red Cities record "Soft Target." I'm headed back to Philly in a few week, and after that, Vancouver. After those work trips, it's just summer vacation after summer vacation.
Oh, I got bored and started the "Star City" chapter of the Turbojugend, the Turbonegro fanatic group. It's the only time I'll be president of anything. Everyone else in our Turbojugend is a vice president! We're going to sponsor some benefit gigs around town for community organizations, and also me and Destroyer are dj-ing a punk and rock record night once a month.
Today's show features some old, classic punk rock stuff like The Zeros, Angry Samoans, Gray Matter, The Damned and other bands in that late 70s/early 80s first generation. I've also been buying a lot of reissues of records I had only read about as a kid, but had never seen for real. After these records hit the cut-out bin, they were usually thrown away in the trash. So there's bands like The Heartbreakers, The Testors, The Dead Boys, Iggy and the Stooges, Death, The Saints and others on the show. I also put on some new stuff I like a lot like Zen Guerilla, Turbonegro, The Dirtbombs, The Red Aunts, Slant 6, David Nance, Broncho, Ex Hex, Chain and the Gang, Off! and other new punk/garage stuff.
The playlist for today is: Zombie vs. Shark, Queens of the Stone Age, Turbonegro, Off!, David Nance, Iggy and the Stooges, The Dead Boys, Adolescents, Jawbox, Turbonegro, Hot Snakes, The Heartbreakers, The Stooges, Green River, Gray Matter, Government Issue, Zombie vs.. Shark, The Zeros, Zen Guerilla, Turbonegro, Fire Party, Ex Hex, Drive Like Jehu, The Dirtbombs, The Detroit Cobras, Desert Sessions, Death, The Damned, The Cult, The Cramps, Code of Honor, Chain and the Gang, Turbonegro, Broncho Angry Samoans, Slant 6, The Testors, Scream, The Saints, The Red Aunts, Mojave Lords, and Queens of the Stone Age.
The show is about 120 minutes!
Thanks for tuning in!

Mythologies
Mythologies
Welcome to Episode 51 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! We had a dreary, rainy weekend so I decided it was time to put up another show. The show today tends towards psychedelia, experimental, space rock, and other ethereal types of music. Some of it is remarkable because it has no precedent in rock and roll and its compositional forms. However, you can hear the influence of jazz, R&B, and classical music compositions throughout the show made electric.
Many of the artists on the show who had begun making music in the late 80s/early 90s also do not tour extensively or play much anymore, since the proliferation of file-sharing, youtube, and other ways of making music available over the internet. They have full-time, day jobs. In many ways, this has undercut the basis of earnings and monthly income for recording artists, and has made it difficult for independent labels to continue and compete with the multi-integrated media corporations that control mass, musical taste in the United States and around the globe. Basically, music is currently in the "Era of Suck," and yes, I'm being judgmental because I'm not responsible for other people making crappy music, they are. Get past it and support independent music if you can.
As a result, I've made some improvements to my show page. To your Right, there is list of independent records labels, and some bigger music groups with subsidiary labels, where you can buy the Records/LPs that I play on my show. Every record on all my shows was recorded for the show, and I have a healthy collection approaching 1000 records. You have no excuse not to buy a cool record!
Fanzine writers once asked Ian MacKaye and Jello Biafra how they had so many records some years back. They replied, "we don't drink or do drugs, so I have a lot of records." Get your priorities straight and support your favorite bands and local bands.
On the show today is the new Preoccupations (ex-Vietcong) record that is just as stunning as their first LP "Vietcong." The first record, unnoted by any music journalist, was the great anti-war and socialist record of the 2010s, indeed 21st Century so far. How Pitchfork, Magnet, and its ilk missed this fact baffles me. I also put on some very local stuff like Aleister X, The Sinners, Purling Hiss, Broncho among others. I put on this wonderful cassette release by Jet Black called "Dead Horse One" which has two great tracks, so check it out, it has a download.
The show is just pushing over 2 hours! The playlist for today is: Preoccupations, Broncho, Bardo Pond, Red Cities-ShaSha, Killing Joke, Jet Black, Kinski, Cheatahs, Aleister X, Lungfish, Vietcong, Kendra Smith, Lungfish, By Bloody Valentine, Flying Saucer Attack, The Sinners, Cheatahs, My Bloody Valentine, The Moon and the Melodies, Portishead, Mazzy Star, The Smiths, Flying Saucer Attack, The Smiths, Savages, and Purling Hiss.

White Drugs
White Drugs
Welcome to Episode 50 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I haven't posted a new show in a while, and since we're having an ice storm I decided it would be a good time. I accumulated some new vinyl and then went through my music collection and had forgotten some stuff I own! It's on the show today. I've been grinding away at book publishing, traveling, and doing a new record with Red Cities so it cramped my style for doing podcasts.
There's mostly local vinyl and music on the show because it's the best music in the U.S. right, and it's not corporately-assembled. I put on local stuff like the new Bogusman L.P., Dirty Talker, Domestica, Once a Pawn, and the new The Broke Loose record. I found my White Drugs E.P., this great dirty garage rock band from Texas. There's also some weird Aleister X stuff on here, and also a lot of glam and glitter rock like MC5, Stooges, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, and The Testors. Low Litas from Tulsa, OK and Your Mom's E.P. "Blows" is on the show. There's also a lot of Swervedriver on the show as well as Kinki, The Standells, and Dark Satellites.
The show is 110 minutes!
The playlist is: Queens of the Stone Age, White Drugs, Aleister X, Kinski, The Red Aunts, Bogusman, Domestica, Dirty Talker, Once a Pawn, Low Litas, Your Mom, Red Cities, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, The Testors, Ex-Hex, The Stooges, Sponge, The Catheters, Swervedriver, Dag Nasty, MC5, The Stooges (John Cale mix), Swervedriver, The Damned, The Terminals, Swervedriver, The Standells, Queens of the Stone Age, Swervedriver, The Broke Loose, Dark Satellites, Cheatahs, and Savages.
