Ep217: Best of TKO Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

The interview With Mark Rainey in Episode 213 was such a big hit that we decided to revisit TKO Records by doing our top 5 TKO releases. I mean, yeah we talk about other stuff too, but TKO was the main focus. Tom had to cut this one short to pick up his daughter and we had tech problems so don’t complain that it’s shorter than normal! With music by The Meatmen, Smogtown, Electric Frankenstein, US Bombs, Antiseen, Slaughter and the Dogs, Broken Bottles, The Generators, Poison Idea and The Beltones.

Ep216: Freddie Skintoff (Geoffrey Oi!cott) Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

In episode 216 we talk to Freddie Skintoff, AKA Jase Kilvo, lead singer and mastermind behind the English cricket themed oi! band Geoffrey Oi!cott. Cricket, darts, and drinking down the pub: what could be better! But it turns out that most of the songs are not as simple as they appear: lurking beneath the suggestive song titles are hilarious takes on British life. Case in point, the songs “Yorkshire Blonde”: or “Gimme some head” off the band’s 2022 album “Carry on Oi!cott”. Nope, they are not about that at all you dirty minded reprobates! While the themes are very English, humor and good music are universal.
All songs by the twisted and very funny minds of the lads in Geoffrey Oi!cott.

Ep215: Paramoron Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

No guests this week, so as Bill Withers would say, it’s just the two of us! We chat about all kinds of wide ranging topics from Neil’s road rage, Tom’s upcoming tropical sojourn, Tom’s no more swearing pledge, and… the singer from Paramore? With songs by Naked Raygun, The Criminals, B Squadron, Blatz, CH3, Lower Class Brats, Dirt Box Disco and our Best of Spam winners this week, Dead Low.

Ep214: McRackins Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

Episode 214 - McRackins! The power of Heather Wheaton is on full display as your grumpy hosts come face to face with a drumming dog and guitar playing half human, half egg! We talk the past, present and future of McRackins, and play songs from throughout their lengthy career. An eggsellent time was had by one and all! Music by McRackins.

Show notes

EP212: Hiawatha Bailey (Cult Heroes) Jan 20, 2023

Show notes

Now this is a special one. In ep212 we have the honor of chatting with Hiawatha Bailey. Don’t know the name? Well you will certainly know some of the people he has been involved with! From being a student revolutionary and member of the White Panther Party in the 60s with folks like John Sinclair and Wayne Kramer (MC5), he then went to prison, formed a band and played CBGBs and rubbed elbows with Blondie the Ramones etc. The stories are insane! From getting French kissed by Iggy to being taught self defense by Hilly Kristel, to vandalizing bikes with Dee Dee. It’s all here. With music by Cult Heroes and Dee Dee Ramone & the Chinese Dragons.
