Bill
Kelly's Teenage Wasteland
Click the
link to hear a few years worth of two hour broadcasts
available. Bill Kelly is a WFMU jock since 1978, before all the pretenders
bellied up! He is the all-encompassing iya-toldya of garagiola! He's the King
of Sunday afternoon and the first to spin the Vonghouls! Aiiiee! Access archived
shows or listen live Sundays 3pm-5pm and get tingles where they shouldn't
be! See also his Sirius Satellite show below, yet another way to hear BK's
tasties!
Dave
The Spazz
*HIGH
RECOMMENDATION* WFMU jock who holds Spazzstock events once in a while, plays
in local band The Yams and publishes rawk books too. Tons of archives available
just by clicking. His show is live Thursdays 8pm-11pm EST, primetime! He likes
obscure Northern soul and early R&B tunes, and stuff that's a bit more
on the primitive side, going with his constant "monkey" themes.
Clever sound clips between songs. Some good interviews too -the Muzic to Spazz
By is the serious joint!
Little
Steven's Underground Garage
Nationally syndicated show on hundreds of stations, plus runs a Sirius satellite
channel called Underground Garage, 24-seven! Also played Silvio on HBO's The
Sopranos and guitarist for Springsteen's E Street Band who dresses like a
swashbuckler. He's personally trying to save rock n'roll, but ming! what a
job it is. Click to go straight to show archives since the first show in 2002
where you can start with show #1 going to his latest show. Some brief commercial
breaks, but hardly any sponsors!
Joan
Jett and Kenny Laguna on Sirius
Now archived! Joan's taste is right on the mark and her Sirius satellite show
on Little Steven's Underground Garage channel begs the question what took ya?!
Kenny Laguna, her partner in crime is my fave living bubblegum-producer with tons
of color commentary and boss stories! And who's better then JJ? Also archived
now are the channel's other fine shows by the "originator" BILL
KELLY, the inimitable KIM
FOWLEY, the Stones' own ANDREW
LOOG OLDHAM and Motor City Knockout KO
MELINA. Anyway you slice it You win!
Grunnenrocks
Very knowledgable garage/punk expert Evert Nijkamp from a far off place, called
the "Netherlands". Has lots of organized, useful info on thousands
of garage bands, labels, discographies with links but you'll mostly want to
go to hear 175 or so fine 1-hour gar-punk streams. He's really got his ear
to the ground and is up on the good NEWER stuff - trust him! Uses Java, or
something....just click his RADIO menu choice
and listen now, it's for freee!
Nardwuar
The consummate
interviewer, Nardwuar The Human Serviette has a show on CITR radio out of Vancouver.
Always highly pre-researched and keeps interviews moving, never a dull moment.
Don't be put off by the high-pitched squealing voice, he interviews all and always
gets the poop or dies trying. See why everything has to have a "Canadian
connection" and what "BaBoom!" means, and do buy into the "doo
doodle doo's", it's fun! Hundreds of hours of interviews with punks rockers,
celebs, semi-celebs, nuts, rappers, and has beens, but it's always interesting.
Highlights: Jello Biafra!! Tommy Chong, Geddy Lee, Henry Rollins, Misfits with
Tommy Ramone, The Avengers, Wesley Willis, Gwar, White Stripes, PANDORAS and MUFFS
AT DISNEYLAND! You can always tell which celebs are jagoff by how badly they treat
Nardwuar.

menu to choose an interview.
The
Hound
What
we're gonna do her is go BACK, back to 1985! Here presented by The Hound are
prime skads of jumpin' three chord early rock n'roll rumblers, primal garage
before there was the "neo-garage-comeback", mixed in with the punk
n' trash sensibilities of the co-owner of NYC's Lakeside Lounge when he was
a venerable vinyl vanguard, spinnin' WFMU listeners into a tizzie!
Garage
Hangover
Chas
Kit's way out website details the doings of the obscurest 60s garage bands
from all over the planet, posting pics and mp3's for the snaggin'! Also has
a blog baring the backstories of the bands, with rare shots of vinyl labels,
sleeves, promo snaps, flyers and more!
Jonesville
Station
Another
WFMUer, Glen Jones is a soft spoken feller who has good interviews. Juicy
rock history stuff, like Eric Burdon, Billy J. Kramer, Genya Ravan, Little
Richard, Ian Hunter, The Funk Brothers, Alice Cooper, Joan Jett and Kenny
Laguna, NY Dolls, Johnnie Johnson, Uncle Floyd and tons more. Coolest of all
is the intro by Mets announcer Bob Murphy!
Lost
Girl Group Gems of the 60s
We
all know the Shangri-las, Vandellas and Marvelettes, but what about the gals
that time forgot? The Crystals and Reparata & the Delrons start off this
broadcast from Test Pattern on WZBC (Newtown, MA) which aired April 2002.
Superlative tunage from The Cookies, The Gingersnaps,
The Girlfriends (on Colpix!), The Birdies, Patty & The Petticoats, Dorothy
Berry, The Hollywood Jills, The Revlons and a drag-strip set including Susan
Lynn. "Love
Kitten" by Noreen Cocoran totally bops! Plus unreleased stuff from the
Andantes and the famed Crystals cut "Do the Screw" with a pissed
off Phil Spector!
Ever hear the original Pandoras from Boston? Well off you go!
Kopper
Cheese
it, the Kopp! Garpunk DJ from KDHX FM in St. Louis - a bit more midwest-centric.
Kopp runs a good Garage
Punk message board, really, and hosts the Wayback Machine, a good fookin'
radio show, but alas poor yorich, no archives - you have to tune in at the designated
time coordinates. Monday nights, 8:00-10:00PM. So you'll probably wanna try the
others first, but if I lived in Missouri, I'd want to hang with Jeff Kopp.
The
Trash Can
Long time Helsinki
radio pirate Mike Spenser of the Cannibals,
also one of the late John Peel's fav rockers, brings you the best in garage rock
sounds, served nicely on a garbage pail lid for the trash fans of London. MP3
or Real Audio streaming but no on-demand archives so you gotta click Resonance
104.4 FM, London, UK on Saturday 3:30-4:30pm GMT - that's London-time, mate.
Smells bad, but we like! 10 min. sample
here.
Terre
T
And
the T is for tall! The Cherry Blossom Clinic show on WFMU. She spins great retro
garage, psych, punk, has live bands and announces local shows pretty ex-tensively.
Starts every show with the same psycho-ward tune from The Move, but hey, everyone's
gotta have a theme song. Highlights:
Knife Skills, Shonen Knife, Gore Gore Girls, Embrooks...
Penny
Dreadful
Penny
hosts 'Black Leather' on Fridays from 12-3PM eastern time on WSMU out of North
Dartmouth, MA. She twists a mix of punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, surf, 60s style
garage rock, goth/deathrock,İbubblegum rock, glam and other coolness. The show,
in general, has a spooky bent to it as Penny is quite the horror movie nut.
Joe
Belock
WFMU jock with a great punk show, Three-Chord Monte - has live guests and interviews
too. The show is live Tuesdays Noon-3pm EST. Another rascally rabbit! Click for
tons of streams - be sure to check out The Undertones live, The Danny Fields and
Ramones interviews, etc.
Los
Aarones
I've
been on a detour since I heard these bubblepunks who I think are Spanish but
from Finland - or something. Maybe they're lost. But they are on Amp
Records and they have psycho hot rod art covers so they must be mongo-hip!
