Cinco de Mayo. Kentucky Derby.<br /><br />The Friday of that week is one of the most important holidays for many people from my homeland. Yes, I am talking about Michigan. And, yes, I am talking about the birth of Rockin' Robert Seger, born 177 years ago on May 6th.</p><p style="text-align: left;">It's not an official holiday in the state but let's put it this way. If you are in a crowd of people and something like Katmandu comes on and you don't let out a giant Woo! or Yeah!, the crowd will look at you like you are some sort of malcontent and most likely an apostate of the Mitten State. </p><p style="text-align: left;">What you'll hear:<br /><br /><iframe title="Smashin’ Transistors 90: Started Hummin’ a Song from 1862" allowtransparency="true" height="300" width="100%" style="border: none;

Kept it in the freezer until last night. For those who may not know, the Smashin' Transistors digs share space with the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/ripperpotamus/" target="_blank">Mr. Ripperpotamus; the figurehead of Bancroft Records</a>.<br /><br />If there is one thing that dude obsesses over, it is turkey. Every time we go to the kitchen, he reminds us that there is a turkey defrost in the fridge.

I admit to throwing a couple of bucks down here and there on the "big ones" a time or two a month. I kinda got outta hand this October as I drop a total ten bucks over the month on playing the numbers. <br /><br />I'd rather be not out of the ten bucks but what's two bucks a shot on a dream, right? <br /><br />Often on time or two a week I am at the Circle K down the road from my house, I end up being behind a lady in her eighties who likes to read off her numbers to who is ever behind the counter. Since we seem to be in the store at the same time, we've come to this agreement. She knows I am on my way to work, so she often lets me go in front of her so I can be on my way.<div><br /></div><div>I was behind her the other day and she turned to me, waving a 3x5in spiral notebooks and looking into my eyes. "Do you know what this is?"<br /><br />"You keep notes in it, right?"<br /><br />"Yes." she darted back in a much exasperated tone. "What kind of notebook?"</div><div><br /></div><div>"A dream book?"</div><div><br /></div><div>I've seen my share of them. My grandma kept one. All her friends at the plant where they made luggage racks for GM all kept one. <br /><br />The Dream book is pretty much where you write down combinations of numbers that may feel lucky. the come in different forms, sizes and schemes. Most prosperity churches run some sort of elaborate and convoluted merchandising racket based on the dream book model. They're just keeping in the tradition of the old radio barkers of "the lord". It's an easier, flashier swindle nowadays but snake oil is still the same formula.<br /><br />We were both masked but her eyes gave away a friendly smile. She knew I understood. In a confiding tone, she said "Don't ever keep one of these. It's a bad, bad habit. It's made me grow too old too soon and I gotta plan for my funeral."</div><div><br /></div><div>"M'am, you are far too feisty to worry about that for quite a long time." <br /><br />"Your funeral is the last time the people alive you still like will still be around" she pointed her finger at me and looked me straight and sternly into my eyes. "Give them AND only them good last memories. Remember that."</div><div><br /></div><div>Duly noted, m'am. duly noted<br /><br />What you'll hear</div><div><br /></div><iframe allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="150" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=t2vyy-111c647-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=1&font-color=auto&btn-skin=7" style="border: none;

I sing the title of this episode of Smashin' Transistors to the tune of Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love every time I amble down to it.<div><br />The pool is where I've been spending a lot of my limited free time since. I attempted to work on this episode a few times poolside but someone would always ask me if I was recording a podcast. And is a true-crime podcast.<br /><br />"Maybe true crimes against music" I've replied winkingly. <br /><br />I also told someone I am doing a podcast where I am breaking down the Monkees Pool It album, dedicating an episode to every song on the album. But that would mean I'd have to listen to the whole album. I heard it enough at a place I was working when it came out. The people in charge of the stereo were really into that and Aerosmith's Permanent Vacation. I lived my true crimes against music already, man!<br /><br />The thing is though, I am hanging out at the pool to be in the pool. Y'know, being like Mick Jagger in the jam Summer Romance or something. Not working on a podcast. For those who were on the edge of their seat waiting for the next Smashin' Transistors transmission, I apologize if you completely fell off the chair waiting.</div><div><br /><iframe allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="150" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=zte8r-10cebda-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=1&font-color=auto&btn-skin=7" style="border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);" title="Smashin‘ Transistors 83: Take Your Shirt Off And Throw It In The Pool" width="100%"></iframe></div><div> </div><div>What you'll hear:<br /><br /><b>Jesse Floyd</b> – Satan’s Wife </div><div><a href="https://www.dragcity.com/artists/birds-of-maya" target="_blank"><b>Birds Of Maya</b></a> – Please Come In </div><div><b><a href="https://crashthesuperyacht.bandcamp.com/album/day-moon" target="_blank">Crash The Superyacht</a></b> – Summer Solstice </div><div><b><a href="https://vintagecrop.bandcamp.com/album/serve-to-serve-again" target="_blank">Vintage Crop</a></b>- No Praise </div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host- </span></div><div><b><a href="https://nogodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pale-horsey-and-the-war-on-reason" target="_blank">Pale Horsey</a></b> – Overlord </div><div><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNfVssP3EH0" target="_blank">A Place To Bury Strangers</a></b> – End of The Night </div><div><b>Spider Bags</b> – Long White Desert Rose </div><div><b><a href="https://heatherthejerk.bandcamp.com/album/cable-access-tv" target="_blank">Heather The Jerk</a></b> – Hot </div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host- </span></div><div><b><a href="https://ratrunrecords.bandcamp.com/album/when-we-forgot-tomorrow" target="_blank">Adam Pettis</a></b> – Dark Road </div><div><b><a href="https://slothmate.bandcamp.com/album/s-t" target="_blank">Violent Change</a></b> – Open Space </div><div><b>Rolling Stones </b>– Moonlight Mile </div><div><b><a href="https://eriknervous.bandcamp.com/album/bugs-lp" target="_blank">Eric Nervous</a></b> - Motivation </div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host</span>- </div><div><b><a href="https://www.feelitrecordshop.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/lysol-soup-for-my-family-lp-preorder-black-vinyl" target="_blank">Lysol</a></b> – Can’t Win </div><div><b><a href="https://bigneckrecords1.bandcamp.com/album/apparatus-division" target="_blank">Mononegatives</a></b> – Deep Pockets </div><div><b>Dirtbombs</b> – Alleys Of Your Mind </div><div><b><a href="https://meshphilly.bandcamp.com/album/mesh" target="_blank">Mesh</a></b>- Traveler </div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host- </span></div><div><b><a href="https://girlsville.bandcamp.com/album/virvon-varvon-mind-cancer" target="_blank">Virvon Varvon</a></b> – Nothing To Prove </div><div><b><a href="https://freakees.bandcamp.com/album/freakee-deakee-3" target="_blank">The Freakees</a></b> – The Middle </div><div><b><a href="http://www.strappingfieldhands.com/" target="_blank">Strapping Fieldhands</a></b> – Why Did You Fly </div><div><b>Tom T.

Taco Bell '77. Camel Lights '77. I'll be there around seven '77. I don't get paid til Friday '77 and so on. </p><p>It cracked us up for a couple months. </p><p style="text-align: left;">It was not a running joke with everyone I hung out with though. One evening, I was hanging out with some other group of friends. They were starting a band and were looking for a name. <br /><br />"Dude! You should call yourself Apostrophe 77!" I blurted out. From the looks on their faces, you could tell they thought it was brilliant. "Yes, that's perfect. That's when punk rock really started. If people see our name on a flier, they'll know we play punk rock!"<br /><br />"Yeah, that the joke, man. It lets people know you are (air quotes) PUNK FREAKIN' ROCK, BRO!"<br /><br />"So, wait," one of them said in a puzzled tone "You weren't serious?"<br /><br />I think the band lasted a few practices and maybe a basement party. That's a standard punk rock story. They didn't use the name though.<br /><br />There are no songs from '77 in episode 77 of the Smashin' Transistors fake radio show. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Pup The Unx!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="120" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?hide_cover=1&light=1&feed=%2Fdalemerrill%2Fsmashin-transistors-apostrophe-77%2F" width="100%"></iframe><span style="font-size: x-small;">What you'll hear:</span><br /><b>Tilahun Gessesse</b> – Alegntaye<br /><b>Flying Saucer Attack</b> – Present<br /><b><a href="https://themidnightsteppers.bandcamp.com/album/isolation-drives" target="_blank">Midnight Steppers</a></b> – The Method Singer<br /><b><a href="https://ronnyrex.bandcamp.com/album/life-inside-a-rocket" target="_blank">Frankie Traandruppel</a> </b>– Hooray For The Frown<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host-</span><br /><b><a href="https://www.feelitrecordshop.com/products/smarts-who-needs-smarts-anyway-lp-preorder-orange-vinyl-second-pressing?_pos=1&_sid=b40472330&_ss=r" target="_blank">Smarts</a></b> – Cling Wrap<br /><a href="https://pensionerwoop.bandcamp.com/album/demo" target="_blank"><b>Pensioner</b> </a>– The Night<br /><b>Boris </b>– Furi <br /><b>A Feast Of Snakes</b> – Know Your Name<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host-</span><br /><b><a href="http://testostertunes.bigcartel.com/artist/astute-palate" target="_blank">Astute Palate</a></b> – A Little Proof<br /><b>Neil and Crazy Horse</b> – Barstool Blues<br /><b><a href="https://thelice1.bandcamp.com/album/punk-is-bed" target="_blank">The Lice</a></b> – Daymare Town<br /><b><a href="https://www.celluloidlunch.com/store/feeling-figures-st-7" target="_blank">Feeling Figures</a></b> – Never in Time<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host-</span><br /><b><a href="https://iss2012.bandcamp.com/album/spikes" target="_blank">ISS</a></b> - (Met)forming<br /><b>Cathedral</b> – Suicide Asteroid<br /><b><a href="https://feedingtuberecords.com/releases/ohio/" target="_blank">Sex Tide</a></b> – Scorpion<br /><b><a href="http://12xu.bigcartel.com/product/chris-brokaw-puritan-lp-12xu-122-1" target="_blank">Chris Brokaw</a></b> – The Heart of Human Trafficking<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host-</span><br /><b><a href="https://cletapatrarecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-pig-kissd" target="_blank">Chronophage</a> </b>– Talking Android<br /><a href="https://1epparjourrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eat-girls" target="_blank"><b>Eat Girls</b> </a>– All The Lovers Are Gonna Leave and Die<br /><b><a href="https://thelavenderflu.bandcamp.com/album/tomorrow-cleaners" target="_blank">Lavender Flu</a></b> – Rake The Face<br /><b>Angst </b>– Somethings (I Can’t Get Used To)<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">-words from your host-</span></p><div style="background-color: white;

The first in the pipeline is an LP from Zurich Cloud Motors.<br /><br />Hailing from Providence, Rhode Island (and parts beyond), Zurich Cloud Motors whirl, rattle sway and sear. If you're a fan of the Swell Maps, the first few Roxy Music albums, the Scientists and Chrome, take that sound and then run a dulcet toned belt sander making harmony with it. <br /><br />The album is getting its final touches done to it now but the band has already got a video for a song from it with "Worry About The Hubcaps Later."<br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EIcxylZv-gE" width="560"></iframe></div><p>Following a ton of cassette and digital releases now, this will be the first thing from the band to appear on vinyl. Look for it in the summer. While you wait for that, find previous Zurich Cloud Motors releases over at their <a href="https://zurichcloudmotors.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp page</a> and check them out on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zurich.cloud.motors/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</p><p>Also out on Bancroft Records in 2021 is a new LP from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Hue-Blancs-Joyless-Ones-109660445742590/" target="_blank">Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones</a>. This'll be the first album from this Wisconsin band since 2016's <i>Stoning Josephine</i>.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a47RPSGnEY34NA6lVSsqOgGWdoXoHT3YlSXdEhLPam-eor6gpgkhnmSEcyaCNfhrNtY8DP32aCpH9ac_heDDzoKY5WanDXJSPGmdrePQgD4-yzz1KubiVJLIi3hfDyBzaNq-jJS6rGlb/s2048/HBJO+32317+%252825%2529+%25281%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a47RPSGnEY34NA6lVSsqOgGWdoXoHT3YlSXdEhLPam-eor6gpgkhnmSEcyaCNfhrNtY8DP32aCpH9ac_heDDzoKY5WanDXJSPGmdrePQgD4-yzz1KubiVJLIi3hfDyBzaNq-jJS6rGlb/w640-h426/HBJO+32317+%252825%2529+%25281%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones.<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Photo by Dale Merrill.

Coming through the door he said "I tell ya, man. It sure was cold enough to get the toboggan out. I thought I misplaced it."<br /><br />"The snow has already melted. What good is a toboggan without it?" I asked. He looked at me like I was loony. "For the cold, man!"<br /><br />After a few hours of mental images of the ol' rock dog having the time of his life shooting down hills on a big wooden sled, I realized he was talking about his hat.

It was also a bit of a whirlwind too, right?<br><br>For me, the year started it out with a plan, I sold my house, left my somewhat cushy but now unrewarding (and underpaying) job and packed up the lovely wife & our cats, our stuff and moved to a new land seven and fifty hundred miles away from a place I had lived in for a tab over two decades. Job prospects were good, the area is beautiful and the arts, music and food scene is often considered one of the finest on the planet. <br><br>We arrived about the same week it became pretty obvious to anyone with more than half a brain that the pandemic was going to take on a strong hold for quite a long time. It became months of being pretty much a shut-in save for taking a whole lotta walks, job hunting, frugality and stressing out. <div><br></div><div>While a majority the world is not out of the COVID woods for a spell yet, at least we can look forward to 2021 being hopefully better than the year we just lived through. Some trash is going to a dumpster (or at least being kicked to a curve though we all know we here in the USA are cursed with a bad penny and an offspring that came with it) and we can brush our hands of that toxic dirt. In the words of Michael Bruce (and recited by Vincent Furnier) though "We still have a long way to go."<br><br>Entering 2021, I am now back into the steady paycheck world. Working in a trade that I didn't plan to be in but enjoying it very much. As this new year progresses, I plan to become an expert at that gig (as I've learned over the past couple of months, the world needs really good vacuum repairmen. I've now seen the mess a person can do after consulting a YouTube DIY video of something they should've left to a professional. It's my job to fix their damaged done. People think you're performing some sort of magic when things are remedied.)<br><br>Setting out to do in 2021</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>To learn more about painters I enjoy and how they went about creating their works. And learn to paint. Watercolors to start.</li><li>To learn how to develop color film. Shooting film is a spendy habit as it is and sending it to the lab just adds to it. I've developed black and white film before but never color. Also, this year, I want to develop some black & white film in alternate solutions like caffenol.<br></li><li>Think up a couple photography projects and make them happen.</li><li>Picking up more CLA skills and bringing back to life twice as many film cameras than I did in 2020. I just know simple basics so far.</li><li>Make a couple trips to the mountains. Make even more to the ocean.</li><li>Play guitar for at least a bit most days. Have some songs come out it. Find some people to play said songs with. Even if live shows don't become a thing, being made in a room where live sounds are being made is essential to my well being.</li><li>Write more again. That has really fallen by the wayside for some years.</li><li>Finding copies of the Cheater Slicks <i>Refried Dream</i>s and <i>Don't Like You</i> on vinyl somewhere out in the wild. The former I used to have but met its demise one night after crashing onto a cement basement floor in Michigan and scattering into a few pieces. The latter I only have on CD.</li><li>Take a lot of walks with my wife. She rules.</li><li>Visiting with my kids. Both them getting here in NC when they can and me up there in MI where they are leading their adult lives when I can. They both rule.</li><li>Learn Spanish beyond the semester I took in high school.</li><li>Not attending any funerals. I wish for that all those near and dear to me don't pass in 2021.</li><li>And, what I feel is the big pièce de résistance, getting Bancroft Records out of mothballs for over a decade. I got a couple things in the taking stages already. After all the details are situated and finances crunched, more will follow.</li></ul><div>When it's all said and done, there was a lot of time to absorb music in 2020. There was A LOT of music that came out in 2020 too.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">In the wilds of Michigan’s Thumb, the sounds of the
night bugs were mostly crickets. In my new surroundings of North Carolina’s
Triangle, there are crickets as well but also many katydids. And for an added
attraction right now, we got the cicadas too. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">There are a lot of trees surround the digs I dwell.
Hearing all of the night bugs going on here all at once is a like three band bill
where they are all drone combos doing some sort of concept set about spaceships landing in a
lush green forest. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="Standard">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">
<br />
Though I did not record this episode outside to capture some of those sounds, I
seriously did consider it. Perhaps I even will some time down the road. <br />

Is there one for summer of burgers on the grill? Maybe with the sounds of people laughing and beers being open as the audio track. <br><br>Given how enough morons (following the path of their King Moron) in this country refuse to follow some simple procedures to overcome a pandemic, it may be the closest we can get to having a real backyard barbecue with friends and family for a long time.<br><br>What you'll hear:</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The solstice marking the change of season hasn't officially arrived here in the USA but things have gone well over the boiling point in recent weeks. Much of it stems back from a minority of idiots walking in line behind the most moronic of carnival barkers, in hopes that clocks would be set back to more ignorant times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The healing and fixing process is going to be a long and arduous one but it can be done. We just have to push a little harder for progress against those wishing they could be even more reactionary minded than they currently are. I have a feeling it's gonna be a proverbial long hot summer all across the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This episode of Smashin' Transistors offers no solutions to the woes. There's people much more articulate, equipped and educated than yours truly for such things. There's some great sounds in it though.</span><br />
