Episode 3: Music in the Grain of the Americas

http://www.archive.org/details/Episode3MusicInTheGrainOfTheAmericas

Welcome to the 3rd Episode of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I decided for this episode to put together a sample of roots and New World musics, out of the more mellow side of my record collection for my friends and family members that are not into rock-based music with its loud amplification. It was really fun this morning to listen to these albums again, and the memories that they conjure since last listening to them. I hope listeners will enjoy the rotation. It is about 100 minutes of music.

I still don't have a podcast microphone, which is probably fine, I can editorialize here without annoying anyone who listens to the podcast.

Next week, I'll have a rotation of Paisley Underground, early 80s indy pop, and, of course, back to garage rock!

The show features these artists, in order: Trouble Funk, Mills Blue Rhythm Band, Charlie Patton, Earl Hines, Count Basie, Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Sonny Rollins, The Oscar Peterson Trio, Don Byas, Pete Fountain, Miles Davis, Oh Lonesome Me (artist unknown), Carl Casen, Pete Seeger, Buck Owens, Charlie Rich, Conway Twitty, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Orquestra Aragon, Andreas Segovia, Pedro Del Valle and Heredia, Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto, The Lounge Lizards, and Sly and the Family Stone.

Cheers,

Doc Rockavoy

The Singles-Episode 2

http://www.archive.org/details/TheSingles-episode2

Welcome again to Episode Two of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! I was excited about the first episode out of my record collection. When selecting records today, I had a hard time figuring out what to play, so this episode is almost solely devoted to 7" vinyl singles, with a couple of good album cuts rotated in the mix. There's a section on Philly bands from the 1990s represented here, as well as two versions of my friend Robert Scafe's old band, The Putters. I hope all listeners will enjoy the show.

I still don't have a podcast microphone yet, which is probably fine, and the show is a little over 90 minutes.

I'll be doing Episode 3 later this week, and it will be devoted to rockabilly, jazz, big band music, and variations in between, some on little labels, so my older friends and family can participate in listening to the show. Some people kind of don't find punk and garage music attractive, so I'll have shows across the musical genres.

The playlist, in order: Kraut, The Freeze, The State, Ill Repute, Code of Honor, TSOL, The Damned, Bardo Pond, Toxic Reasons, The Putters (2010), Flesh Columns, 7 Seconds, Husker Du, 18th Dye, POD (the one from Philly), The King James Version, Electric Love Muffin, Jodie Foster's Army, Pailhead, Government Issue, Come, Slant 6, The Cramps, The Putters (1992), The Byrds, Egg Hunt, Kingface, Minor Threat, Rocket from the Crypt, Ashtabula, Jawbox, Zen Guerilla, Rites of Spring, Code of Honor.

Thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Doc Rockavoy

Indy Music Garage is Open for Corporate Destruction-Episode 1

http://www.archive.org/details/DocRockavoyInaugeralShow

Welcome! This is the first episode of my podcast, Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage. I decided to create a podcast for two reasons: I have a bunch of good, old indy music albums and other stuff like 50s country music and jazz albums from thrift stores. It is also something fun to do during the winters in Lincoln, NE. I hope visitors will enjoy listening to the old school garage punk stuff, with some space rock and other weird psychedelia thrown in. I will have country, jazz, and big band episodes to come in the near future.

I'll have to thank Brad from Sharkbait Magazine for the nickname, "Doc Rockavoy," which was something he devised when I was still a college professor. Thanks Brad, and I decided to use this for my podcast channel. Thanks to my big sister, Melissa, for sending me this MP3 turntable!

This episode is about 100 minutes of music, with bands listed in order like Code of Honor, Scream, Killing Joke, The Dream Syndicate, The Minutemen, Jimi Hendrix, Drive Like Jehu, Das Damen, Swervedriver, Chris Brokaw, The Smiths, Come, Lungfish, Bardo Pond, Government Issue, The Dirtbombs, Kraut, MIA (the one from Vegas), Articles of Faith, Scream, Brother Wayne Kramer, The Cult, The Swirlies, Lungfish, My Bloody Valentine, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Flying Saucer Attack, Opal, and Portishead. Once I get a microphone, I'll contribute some "history" to the music, bands, and record labels so that the memory of these great bands won't lapse this generation.

I will be podcasting about once or twice a month throughout 2011, so tell all your friends to listen in!

Cheers,

Doc Rockavoy
