Turntable Tuesday

2009-08-25T07:25:00.003-06:00

Our search through the vinyl stacks this week turned up some awesome 7" compilations that really illustrated how goofy the early- to mid-90s were.�

1. Various Artists - Tommy (In 7 Minutes)

-UNCLE WIGGLY It's a Boy

-SMACK DAB Amazing Journey

-THE WORKDOGS Eyesight To The Blind

-PIG PEN Christmas

-LUNACHICKS Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Queen

-ARTLESS Fiddle About

-JOHN S. HALL Tommy Can You Hear Me?

-DAVE THE SPAZZ Smash The Mirror

-IRON PROSTATE I'm Free

-DOGBOWL Tommy's Holiday Camp

-ALICE DONUT We're Not Gonna Take It

-THE SEE ME FEEL ME ORCHESTRA Listening to You/See Me, Feel Me

A 7" out on "Dumbrock" Records with each artist contributing 30 or so seconds of their respective tracks. Funny as hell.

2. BEAT HAPPENING Not A Care In The World

From the Sub Pop 7" compilation for Sassy magazine, which was apparently an alternative teen "rag" in the 90s. It was also apparently sassy. That 7" also featured Codeine and Sebadoh, among others.

Announcements:

The premiere edition of Awesome Advice with Awesome Snakes is this Friday at 8am! It's a reboot (or a reissue, if you will) of an old feature called Sound Advice in Kermit's Korner. But Kermit wanted his mornings back (understandably) so we're turning to supercool friends Annie Awesome and Danny Snakes to dish out advice. So if you have existential crises, life problems, serious moral dilemmas, or you're simply having trouble deciding what to wear, send your queries to rockandrollover@radiok.org! Bonus points will be given - and I'll chime in - if you FAX your questions to 612-625-2112.

Turntable Tuesday!

2009-08-11T07:24:00.003-06:00

SLY & THE FAMILY STONE I Want To Take You Higher - absolutely essential for any vinyl collector. From "Stand!", one of the classic funk & soul records.

THE DEL FUEGOS Nervous & Shaky - from their debut (From 1984, as Kevin tells us). Rockabilly & punk flavors to punch up your morning.

THE SHORT FUSES Beneath The City of The Guitar Vixens - from the 7" that was backed with "Here Come The Warm Chicks." Gotta love sassy guitar chicks!

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN She's The One - again, absolutely essential for any self-respecting vinyl collector (or music fan). Plus, Alex will base a large portion of his opinion of you on your Springsteen knowledge/fandom (other than that, he's very nice).

More plugs: Facebook! Myspace! Last.fm!

2009-08-04T07:20:00.002-06:00

For the first-ever edition of Turntable Tuesday, Kevin and I sampled Radio K's delectable selection of 7"s from years past. Here's what showed up:

THE FLAMING LIPS Up Above The Daily Hum (Do You Realize?? b-side)

STEREOLAB Iron Man - from a 1997 tour EP that the band dropped off at the station during a visit that year. Not the Sabbath cover, as we discovered.

HALO OF FLIES Tired & Cold - from the Big Mod Hate Trip 7". Short-lived local punky stuff on Amphetamine Reptile.

KILLDOZER Nasty - that's right . . . Janet Jackson gets a sludgy retouching.

Also, the Friday Focus last week was on the Manchester Sound of the 1980s. Songs used included:
THE SMITHS How Soon Is Now?
JOY DIVISION Dead Souls
BUZZCOCKS Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)
THE SMITHS The Queen is Dead
THE SMITHS This Charming Man
THE SMITHS The Headmaster Ritual
JOY DIVISION Love Will Tear Us Apart
NEW ORDER Ceremony
OASIS Champagne Supernova

plus some others that I'm forgetting.

This week's Friday Focus will be about The Smell - the noise/scream/spazz-rock performance/art space in L.A. Look forward to some Mika Miko, HEALTH, and plenty of screaming and distorted cymbals.

Another plug: friend us on Facebook!

OTHER FUN ANNOUNCEMENTS:
I'm working on bringing back Friday Focus. It will probably start up again next week - the week after at the latest.

Top Seven Time Machine is going to the great Feature playlist in the sky. In its place will be Turntable Tuesday, which I hope to use as a place to spin some rarer/more obscure stuff - the 7"s we have at the station are absolutely NUTS and I want to crack into those. Plus, it could be a forum for guests.

Special guest next week! Check back for more info.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly . . .

I GET CO-HOSTS NEXT WEEK!

I'm getting really sick of hearing myself talk, so starting next Monday, I'll be joined by fancy things called "co-hosts." Hopefully this means I can talk about things that isn't purely show info. Though I do love show info.

Anyway, I won't introduce them here - you'll have to tune in to be sure!

Also, please please please add RnRO as your friend on Facebook. It will be kewl!

Have a good weekend!
Alex

1. Add RnRO as your friend on Facebook! Thanks to the new Facebook URL system, just go to facebook.com/rockandrollover. It's that simple.�

2. Send me your Theme Thursday requests! This week's theme is ANIMALS. So your fave trax. Email them to rockandrollover@radiok.org, just write on my WALL. Tee hee.

I promise I'll put up some lighthearted and entertaining fare this weekend. I just have to figure out how to embed videos.
