Welcome to Episode 49 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! It has been some time since I've done a show, so it was time to roll out new and old vinyl for a fall podcast. This year has been a little hectic with lots going on. Red Cities cut a demo in the spring, after playing a lot over the winter; our drummer had a baby girl; everyone is buy in the band doing other stuff; and we're gearing up for Lincoln Calling, our local music festival. We've been chilling at home with our son, and trying to keep up with our gargantuan garden, it was on growth hormones this summer!
There's a lot of awesome vinyl on the show today like Killing Joke live in Toronto in 1982; a nice live Magazine album I found recently; and some Dream Syndicate. There's also a Kendra Smith one-off on a split single with Keith Levene and Hillel Slovak. There's a bunch of Philadelphia vinyl on the show as well, Scab Cadillac, POD (not the shitty one), Zen Guerilla, some of Doug Anson's projects with his alter ego, Aleister X with Brother JT that he so kindly sent along to me! There's a Thee Lolitas track on here given me by Arnold in DC last summer. The Red Aunts reissue on In the Red starts the show, and you can wish your band is that good.
The show is 110 minutes! The playlist is: Red Aunts, Thee Lolitas, The Gories, Bikini Kill, Turbonegro, Aleister X and Brother JT, The Damned, Johnny Thunders, Degeneration, The 667s, Zen Guerilla, POD, Scab Cadillac, Aleister X, The State, Bullet Proof Hearts, Captain Sensible, Stiv Bators, Killing Joke, Magazine, Dark Satellites, Red Cities, Savages, Volcano Suns, Jawbox, Cheatahs, Jet Black, Lungfish, Moving Panoramas, Broncho, Vivian Girls, Meat Puppets, Ponyshow, and Kendra Smith.
Thanks for tuning in!

Welcome to Episode 48 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! It was a good day to put a show together, after the blizzard last night. This is an indoors blizzard-cast with some stuff on the show that is gathering interest now among younger indie music fans and bands. Remember Lush? What a great band. I'll cut to the chase, early spring according to Unadilla Bill.
I put on some short, in-between tracks that bands sometimes do on their albums, like Calexico, MBV, and FSA among others. Some of these interludes are great compositions. I put on this live Dream Syndicate album I found recently, the new Jet Black record, some hard to get Bardo Pond, and some stuff off my label, The Sinners. There some Harold Budd on here, too, remember him? Lots of feedback guitar music on the show. That Vietcong album just grows on me, what an amazing band (and socialists as well).
There's a few tracks off the new Flying Saucer Attack record, get it at Drag City Records.
The show is a whopping 116 minutes! The playlist is: Flying Saucer Attack, Mazzy Star, The Sinners, The Dream Syndicate (live), Vietcong, FSA, Red Cities-Sha Sha, Lungfish, The Skull Defekts, French Toast, Hot Snakes, 18th Dye, Flipper, FSA, Calexico, Come, My Bloody Valentine, Jet Black, Bardo Pond, Harold Budd, et. al., Lungfish, FSA, Lush, MBV, Zomes, Bardo Pond, FSA, MBV, Lush.
Enjoy the show, buy these records, and thanks for tuning in!

Good For You
Good For You
Welcome to Episode 47 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I have not had time to do a new podcast in some time, between work and gigging with Red Cities. On my travels and our gigs, I was able to find some nice vinyl for this show, some of which is super-indy vinyl, like the Chicago band Vamos! on the show today. The weather is sucky today on my first day off, so it was perfect for putting a holiday playlist together this morning.
I put the show together today by choosing records and songs that were unpatriotic, retarded in terms of beat, and offensive in lyrical content, with some non-offensive stuff on here as well. Go see a psychiatrist if you feel offended for some reason!
I put on the new Laughing Falcon album, "Sonic Possession," and if you like Sabbath and Hawkwind, you will like this. I put on some Dragons, since they used to play the Christmas Eve show at the Casbah in San Diego, a great night to bail on the family. There's a new Dirty Talker track on here as well as Volcano Suns, Sorry, Q and Not U, Chain and the Gang, and the Slickee Boys, among others.
This show is about 100 minutes! The bands are: Embrace, Government Issue, The Damned, Dirty Talker, Zen Guerilla, Beefeater, Rites of Spring, Off!, The Faith, Mission of Burma, Void, Genocide, MIA, Hot Snakes, Domestica, Kinski, Q and Not U, Vamos!, The Gories (live), The Saints, Slickee Boys, The Cramps, Broncho, Johnny Thunders, The Dragons, Laughing Falcon, Angry Samoans, Junkyard, Detroit Cobras, Sorry, Vietcong, My Bloody Valentine, Volcano Suns, Code of Honor, The Snakes, Chain and the Gang, and Scream.

Lights Out
Lights Out
Welcome to Episode 46 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! It's been raining every weekend in Lincoln for the last 6 weeks; nice and warm during the week; torrential rain during the working man's two days off. It's put a cramp on skateboarding and hanging outside, so it's been a bit like winter in that regard.
I've been traveling a bit this spring, and had a chance to visit some good records stores around the country and find stuff I've wanted in my record collection, new stuff and old stuff that is actually old or reissued. I almost bought the first Black Market Baby album in Philly last month, but it cost too much. When Tesco Vee came through there to play, he ended up buying it! But he's a rock star.
I put on some new local releases, Dirty Talker and Halfwit, and I had a chance to see LA Witch last weekend, so there's a single on the show. There's also Aleister X (Doug Anson from The Gelcaps), The Disposables, Flipper, Johnny Thunders, and The Saints. I was lucky enough to get a reissue of the Angry Samoans "Back from Samoa" recently, since some lame college D.J. walked off with about half my punk record collection some years ago. I've been trying to rebuild it when I see missing vinyl. I also found a Killing Joke remix single with "Eighties" on it.
The playlist for today is: Dirty Talker, The Damned, The Saints, LA Witch, Johnny Thunders, The Disposables, Flipper, Detroit Cobras, Poppy, Drive Like Jehu, Ex Hex, Aleister X, Truman's Water, Magazine, Ignition, The Julie Ruin, Nation of Ulysses, Creem Circus, Angry Samoans, Void, Off!, The Faith, Halfwit, Purling Hiss, Mojave Lords, and Killing Joke.

Welcome to Episode 45 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I got some new albums recently, used and new, and thought I'd do a new show. We emerged from a brutally cold winter, and it must be over since it's been 70 degrees or so all week. Good time to share some tunes.
I've been re-reading a bunch of punk rock histories of the U.S. and England lately, and it has been interesting thinking about how shitty the period 1975 to 1992 was in the West, with the rise of the New Right and the last gasp of the consensus over the liberal welfare state. It's no wonder punk rock and its offshoots started at that time; kids who graduated high school or college worked shit jobs and had no future, so why not nihilistically tell the older generations to "f*ck off?" The way things are today, I see this coming around again. The youth are our future.
Today I thought I'd put on some new records, like the new Viet Cong disc, which is really exciting, much as The Fall was exciting. I put on this Stiv Bators solo record I found, and he was in the Dead Boys if you don't know. I found my Unrest record, and I forgot how heavy they were. I also put on a few local items, from Sputnik Kaputnik and Twinsmith, two great Nebraska bands of dozens of great bands here. There's also some weird stuff like 9353, Zomes; and Reptile House.
The show is about 98 minutes.
The playlist is: Sonic's Rendezvous Band; Viet Cong; Swervedriver; Lush, 9353; The Pupils; Drive Like Jehu; Come; Thee Hypnotics; Cheetahs; Slant 6; The Dirtbombs; Stiv Bators; Savages; Sputnik Kaputnik; Debris'; Bardo Pond; Zomes; Lungfish; Government Issue; Lungfish; Kraut; Embrace; Kraut; Reptile House; Rites of Spring; Twinsmith; Unrest; Lush; and Articles of Faith.

Welcome to Episode 44 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! Since it was -20 today, I decided to stay home and put a show together, with some local Lincoln NE bands and some rare stuff out of my record collection. Sit back and enjoy the show during this Arctic blast!
I put a a bunch of new local music on today, like Sputnik Kaputnik, which is kind of like Devo and weird, 70s LA stuff I've heard. There's some Powers on the show, and go see them Wednesday night at Duffy's for the New Year's Eve show. I also put on some King Thumper, Once a Pawn, and Halfwit.
There's a track from a weird single I found, with Keith Levene and Hillel Slovak on one side, and Kendra Smith on the other. If you don't know who those people are, I can't help you! I also have the new Chain and the Gang record, "Minimum Rock and Roll"; a My Bloody Valentine release that was supposed to be the famed "post-Loveless" album, put out by a German label; and this great Ann Arbor band The State, whose E.P. was mixed by Ron Asheton.
The playlist is: Sputnik Kaputnik, Powers, Once a Pawn, King Thumper, The Seen, Savages, Halfwit, Red Cities, Cheetahs, Jet Black, Kendra Smith, Flying Saucer Attack, My Bloody Valentine, Dream Syndicate, Vivian Girls, Broncho, Dum Dum Girls, Pack A.D., Kinski, Producers of the Word, Chain and the Gang, The State, Heroin, Rocket from the Crypt, The Sinners, Fugazi, and B-Boys.
The show is 95 minutes.
Thanks for tuning in, and see you in 2015!

Modern Peasant Records - Resistance is Feudal
Modern Peasant Records
.jpg)
Welcome to Episode 43 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! Today the show is dedicated to Modern Peasant Records, a Norman OK-based punk, garage, and stoner rock label. The label was started by Robert and Nate from The Putters back in 2010 to put out The Putters annual jam session/recording sessions in Ellensburg, where Nate lives. Then is morphed into a music publishing platform for Robert and Nate's "whore bands," or bands that were not The Putters, like Zombie vs. Shark and The 667s. Then it just became more like a community-based record label for friends of Robert and Nate, taking on bands like John Wayne's Bitches, Red Cities, and The Sinners. It's motto is "Resistance is Feudal," and it's basically aimed to put out all the rad music that the crappy, major record industry won't publish, and that is local in nature. All good indie music is local, so that is where MPR's work is concentrated. To date, Modern Peasant Records has put out 13 releases, with more in the future from Norman/Chickasha band Bite Me! and some other stuff on the horizon.
So be sure to support your local record labels and its bands! You can learn more about Modern Peasant Records and order records from: www.modernpeasantrecords.com
The show has 13 tracks and is about 35 minutes. The playlist is:
The Putters - "Housewives and Handgrenades," on Got Something for Your Daughter (MPR-001)
Zombie vs. Shark - "Purify," on Wartime Sugar (MPR-002/007)
The 667s - "Bitch and Moan," on The 667s (MPR-666)
Zombie vs. Shark - "Wunderkind," on Dogs and Guns (MPR-003)
The Putters - "Come on Over," on Good Friends with Your Mother (MPR-008)
The 667s - "Good Morning Sorrow," on Mondons of the World Unite! (MPR-009)
Zombie vs. Shark - "Cold Machine," on Cold Machine (MPR-004)
John Wayne's Bitches - "American Greed," on Bitched Out (MPR-011)
Red Cities - "Burnout," on Build it Up, Tear it Down (MPR-010)
The 667s - "Little Red Car," on Cheer Up, Buttercup (MPR-012)
Red Cities - "Plastic People," on Red Cities (MPR-014)
The Sinners - "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa," on Drunk on the Lord's Day (MPR-013)
