Radio - Sunday, March 29th, 2015

A great way to start out a palm Sunday broadcast would be with something off of "Holy things are for the holy". You can download an MP of the show here.

COLUMN OF HEAVEN - How Glorious This Hour (Iron Lung)

The last Sunday of the month has Rob DJing and D'Arcy performing at a punk rock night at the Painted Lady. In honour of the show I try and put together an early scene shot from somewhere that we haven't really covered. I was interested by the Sydney scene in Australia when I read an interview with a filmaker who made a scene about this early scene called "Distorted". A free link for the documentary and trailer can be found at "Distorted: Reflections on early Sydney punk".



VICTIMS - Open your eyes (1977)
PRESS - Alcoholic (Laser)
THE CELIBATE RIFLES - Let's Get Married (EMI)
REJEX - Who Wants To March (Doublethink)
FUN THINGS - When The Birdman Fly (EMI)
BRITISH JETS - No News (EMI)

This set was inspired by bands that sing in Spanish with women singing. 

ILEGAL - Odio Kontra Odio (Lengua Armada)
DETESTADOS - Consumir- Vomitir (Todo Destruido)

BEGGING FOR OXYS - Holt Renfrew (Self-Released)

I love the new sound of Toronto that is weird and experimental and even more edgier sounding then before. Then I heard Blotter and realized that bands in Austin are trying to sound like bands from here.
