Welcome of Episode 57 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! Well, this week pretty much showed that Americans cannot sacrifice to end a major pandemic plaguing our planet. 45,000 plus infections yesterday in the UXA, and I haven't even checked today. There are people who live in far-Right false consciousness and will not adhere to any public health measures with skyrocketing infections throughout the South and Southern Plains. There are the typical unreliable, progressive liberal haute bourgeoisie that Marx and Engels despised so much, who cannot be inconvenienced to discontinue their status-seeking by dining, shopping, and resuming their summer vacation travel taking their families on a death march. Then there's the rest of the suckers like us who do not want to catch the virus and stay home except for groceries and other essentials like beer and cigarettes!

So that is why my podcast is up and running again, I do not want to get sick and have resigned to stay home as much as possible! For those at home, these shows are for you!

I put on a bunch of punk, hardcore, and hard rock and roll to punch through the July 4 weekend and its usual jingoism. I started the show with Philly's Mt. Vengeance, which is a superstar line-up of Philly punks who are now ready for Tiger Beat Magazine! Forget the old and tired band reunions, at 50+ in age this entire album shows they are skilled songwriters and full of vital originality. No one trick pony here. I decided to put on a bunch of Boston bands like Sorry, Bullet LaVolta, and Gang Green. There's a song by San Francisco's The Breakouts (bet you never heard of them). There are more Philly bands with Zen Guerilla, and a bunch of Oklahoma bands like Your Mom, The Disposables, Wicked Shimmies, Zombie vs. Shark, Low Litas, and Broncho. Then there's the usual famous bands.....and some local Lincoln bands as well like Gripping, Bogusman, Universe Contest, and Red Cities.

The show is about 90 minutes! The playlist is: Mt. Vengeance, Bikini Kill, Come, Gripping, Zen Guerilla, Queens of the Stone Age, The Dead Boys, Angry Samoans, Mannequin Pussy, Articles of Faith, Gang Green, Bullet LaVolta, Circus Lupus, Ex-Hex, The Breakouts, Adolescents, Bogusman, The Dragons, Turbonegro, Universe Contest, Wicked Shimmies, Broncho, Your Mom, The Meatmen, Red Cities, The Bronx, Zombie vs. Shark, Swervedriver, Scream, The Disposables, Metz, Low Litas, Kinski, The Hot Snakes, and Zen Guerilla.

Fell From the Sun

Fell From the Sun

Welcome to Episode 56 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! We've been getting into the summer, with its sultry temperatures and serene, southerly Plains breezes, bringing forth the cicadas soon and their velvety unison. The world wakes up in its verdant hallucinations, washing over the senses with the calm of spring and summer. What a magical turn from the nadir of the winter and its alienated endurance. Goodbye winter.

This show is for the quieter moods of summer and everyone stuck at home during the pandemic.

I put on the new Roy Montgomery record, released by Grapefruit Records in Omaha, a real stunning release for a small indy label. I put on lots of bands by the late David Roback, one of the finest guitar players in the psychedelia underground of the West Coast, who passed away in February this year. I put on rare 12" E.P. in the transition from Opal to Mazzy Star with Kendra Smith on vocals. There's also a lot of Preoccupations on the show; Purling Hiss, The Sinners, and Bardo Pond from Philadelphia; Jet Black from Montreal; The Funns, Zomes, and Alvvays, fun bands. There's a track on a weird MBV L.P. I bought which was basically the follow-up to Loveless on an obscure German label, which is a really cool album.

The show is just over 170 minutes! The playlist is: Roy Montgomery-She Keeps Bees, Kendra Smith-Keith Mitchell-David Roback, Opal, Preoccupations, TSOL, The Sinners, The Black Heart Procession, Preoccupations, Bardo Pond, Lush, Broncho, Jet Black, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Vietcong, Cheetahs, Purling Hiss, Roy Montgomery, Mazzy Star, Rain Parade, Alvvays, Kinski, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, Flying Saucer Attack, Swervedriver, Flying Saucer Attack, Zomes, L.A. Witch, The Funns, and Roy Montgomery.

The U Suck A - We're Fed Up

The U Suck A - We're Fed Up

Welcome to Episode 55 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! It's been a long time since I posted a show, as there were some major changes in my life in the past year. Then the coronavirus hit. Then our racist, capitalist, settler colonial country marched the working class back to work in their Neo-Darwinian gamble to salvage an already over-speculated economy from the last throes of late capitalist accumulation crisis. Then white supremacist infiltration into law enforcement reared its ugly head in the police murder of George Floyd, and repression of peaceful protests across the country, led by the white nationalist administration currently ruining our country as a corrupt plutocracy.

So I thought I'd start up my podcast again, and you can expect regular weekly shows as we shelter in place to curb the pandemic.

There's a bunch of garage and new wavy punk rock on the show today, and some other stuff like locals Lincoln bands Gripping, Sputnik Kaputnik, Eddy Mink, and Red Cities. There's tracks also by White Drugs, The 667s, Mannequin Pussy and Mt. Vengeance from Philly, the Wicked Shimmies from Oklahoma City, and The Midnight Moan from NYC, among others. Scream concludes the show with U Suck A/We're Fed Up, as relevant today as 1983 during racist Ronnie's reign.

The show today is a whopping 105 minutes! The playlist in order is: Broncho, Chain and the Gang, American Ruse, Aleister X, Gripping, Jet Black, Illuminati Hotties, Kinski, Eddy Mink, L.A. Witch, Mannequin Pussy, Metz, Mojave Lords, Mt. Vengeance, Red Cities, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, Swervedriver, The 667s, Zombie vs. Shark, The Wicked Shimmies, White Drugs, Sputnik Kaputnik, The Midnight Moan, The Coathangers, Death Valley Girls, When Particles Collide, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, 20/20, The Red Aunts, The Cramps, and Scream.
