DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO PODCAST #1

Well, that wasn’t so difficult. I’ve created the first of what will hopefully a regular series of 60-minute “radio shows” under the DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE brand name, and all things considered (like, I had zero idea how to use the GarageBand software I created this in last night even 24 hours ago), it turned out pretty much all right.

My aim with this thing is to create playlists of music that I like & that you wanna hear; you might just not know it yet. You’ll find clusters of music that slot loosely into underground pop; classic punk; weird psych/noise; 60s garage, pop and girls-in-the-garage; proto-punk; bedroom DIY recordings and even a little undie rock. 

I personally have not hosted a radio show in which I talk, “back announce” etc. in over 22 years – proving not only how ancient I am personally, but how rusty my on-mic skills are, which is all too apparent in this first radio show/podcast. You’ll even hear the local dogs barking in the neighbor’s backyard during one segment. My goal is to keep these to a digestible hour in length when I make them, and to not worry so much about flubs & various vocal tics and bad habits that make up my radio persona. In other words, the first take will always be the only take, and I’ll try to do better next show, OK?

With that in mind, let me state for the record that the band Bette Davis & The Balconettes were a late 90s band, not a late 80s act as claimed on Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #1.

If you’re feeling like getting a little in touch w/ your softer, more twee side I’ve got a helluva killer song for you this afternoon. It’s called “P.E.I.” and it’s by Vancouver’s PUPS. They’re not even at the vinyl stage yet but have two songs you can download over on their Bandcamp page. 

The draw for you pop lovers might be the fact that a woman named Rose Melberg is in the band. I recall seeing her in Sacramento’s TIGER TRAP back in the early 90s, and being more excited about them being from Sacramento (my childhood hometown) than their music – but what does a knuckle-dragger like me know, right?

Oh yeah and I also was given the great idea of hosting my podcasts on Soundcloud so ya can just stream em instead of downloadin em. Apparently they only give you 2 hours of upload time for free, though, so these will only be kept up for about two weeks. Anyway, here’s last week’s show and i’ll post the new one in a second!

This is a terrific podcast from KSDT radio in San Diego of modern punk noise, splatter and weirdness of all kinds. A very worthy successor to DJ Rick’s deceased “Art For Spastics” on KDVS. I just wish the host if this one didn’t take his show’s title so literally before going on the air.

Feature from about a decade ago in MOJO COLLECTIONS magazine about Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd bootlegs. I’ve heard some of these – my fave is not here; it’s called “Lost In Space” and has some of their pre-psych, pre-drugs songs on them, as well as all the spaced-out live and studio jams of the 1966-67 period,

So This Is How Tumblr Works

I gained a ton of new followers for this blog over the past week thanks to one person (theheftyhideaway) taking a post I did months ago – an audio post of goofball 60s girl group song “Low Grades & High Fever” by Linda Laine – and reblogging it, with a note to her followers to “Forever reblog this song”. Well, gosh and golly. Thanks. They are doing so, and then so are their followers, and so on.

I guess it’s sort of like the Twitter “Follow Friday” thing, in which you’re randomly nominated to be love-bombed and your follower count jumps dramatically. I’m new to the norms and mores of Tumblr, so it was nice to get a positive lesson in how you folks do things. 98 followers and counting – onward to 100.

THE LAMPS have always kinda been on the bubble for me……like, I enjoy a good throttling as much as anyone, and their ability to deliver sheets of pummeling feedback and squawk is unparalleled. Sometimes, albeit rarely, they pull it together enough to push out some coherent, driving, intense songs to move the pain forward and inward. I truly do like it when they do that.

I also like how on their new one, “Under The Water Under The Ground” on In The Red, they’ve also done away with the last dregs of those strangled Ralph-Kramden-under-extreme-torture vocals. Did someone get lessons? Did a new fella take over? Whatever, the city of Los Angeles just got a little bit more panicky and tense with this one. See if you can handle the wallop – here’s “An Irrational Fear of Sailors” from the new one.

I’ve told you about the eye-popping, mind-jarring collection of images, videos and music available over on the RIBBON AROUND A BOMB site, curated by La Lengua and devoted to female-fronted punk, no wave and all manner of related cultural artifacts. She’s got a terrific radio show as well on San Francisco pseudo-pirate radio station Radio Valencia with her partner “DJ Ashtray” that’s remarkable in its breadth of femme-punk from the 70s, 80s & (rarely) beyond.

You gotta download the podcast of Show #23, which I just listened to. Mr. and Mrs. Lengua are in the studio with their daughter as she plays a variety of scorching, blinding and ear-throttling punk and postpunk (Slits, Au Pairs and Delta 5 all within a 10-minute block). Mrs. Lengua even gets a shout-out for turning her daughter onto punk rock, having been an original recipe X and Clash fan back in the proverbial day. 

These two young women, who normally curse like the merchant marine on shore leave, are on what must be their best behavior, and tone down their filthy toilet talk down to parentally-approved levels. It’s a great listen that even made me ponder whether I should have ignored Girlschool these past thirty years. Listen here.
