     As far as new thing we haven't played before we've got Jack Oblivian & the Sheiks, Black Mountain, En Kernaghan Band and Lysol. You'll hear classics from Spacemen 3, Mott The Hoople, Porter Wagoner, Pale Saints and Ike & Tina Turner.
     There's also some Spacin', Life Stinks, Counter Intuits, Milk Lines and more for good measure too.

Smashin' Podsistors #12: Flunked Kick Fighting School

       The delay between shows? For real, I was busy flunking out of kick fighting school. I couldn't remember all the mantas.
     Brand new boogies from Spacin', Choke Chains, Night Beats, Fat White Family, Atlantic Thrills and Savoy Motel. Got some Alex Chilton, Dancing Cigarettes and the Art Attacks for the authentic old record store smell. Also great goodness from the Tang Soleil, Cal and the Calories, the Drags, Power, Don Howland and more!

     Also sweetness that burns from Lavender Flu, Sex Tide, Monoshock, Fogg, Helen, No Bails and more!

Smashin Podisistorscast #10: Not The Year End List

     It's not officially the end of the year according to the calendar. Good thing too because I'm still working on my list of favorites of 2015.
     Til then, dig some new things played for the first time on Smashin' Transistors from Sex Tide, Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones, Sros Lords, Champion Lover, Waylon Thorton & The Heavy Hands, Leaf Child, Woodboot and Psychic Blood.

Smashin' Podsistorscast: Number 9, Number 9, Number 9....

     

      It was either experiment with excessive amounts of Tryptophan for a long weekend or get some stuff done. I got stuff done and then I sat down to absorb some sound.

     New things by WX, Don Howland, Hierophants, The Baby Shakes, Shadow In The Cracks, DRAGGS and Midnight Reruns. Some things from the gold shelves like Clock DVA, The Lurkers, Flying Saucer Attack, The Byrds and Killdozer.

     Plus a whole lot of other great entrees too.

Smashin Podsistorcast 8: Sideways It's A Sign For Infinity

    

     I'm not a math wizard. As a matter of fact to get my degree(s) in college math credit is required. I kept putting it off. Took me years to finally get the diploma because, well, let's just say I put it off for a loooong time. I do remember though that an 8 sideways does look like the sign of infinity. Thank you Schoolhouse Rock.
     Turn it up for new things from Video, the Deadbeat Beat, Wireheads, Spray Paint, Tang Soleil, Thee Mighty Domotas , What Tyrants, Rik & the Pigs and Lavender Flu. Keep it cranked for classics from the Cramps. The Patti Smith Group, Joe Clay, The Damned, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, Can and Little Ann. Blast out all the good stuff scattered around in between too.          

Smashin' Podsistorscast: The Lucky No. 7

     They say the number 7 is lucky. Well, I've had a slew of little bad lucks following me around for a few weeks. How did I get through? Blasting music chased them away and now things are seeming to become an even keel.
     Some of the things I cranked up can be heard now. Fresh new platters from Fuzz, the Yolks, Tang Soleil, Helen, Rata Negra, Cold Beat and Timmy's Organism. Stacks of wax from way back such as the Clean, Silver Jews, The B-52s, Opal, the Devil Dogs and Sylvie Vartan. And as usual a bunch of other tasty musical morsels for your ears to snack on placed about too.

Smashin' Podsistorscast: 6...66

     Things have been a bit crazy hectic on the work and transportation front in the Smashin' Transistors world the past month or so. It's kind of distracted me from sitting down and jotting observations & opinions on records and beer that have passed through the ears and lips. I did get a new edition of the podcast together for your digital devices this week though.

     With Halloween right around the corner I did think about doing a spoooky themed show. Problem is though I'm a bit ADD and would've got distracted or bored with doing such a thing halfway through. That and there's plenty of people out there who do such things much better than I could anyway. I just blasted a bunch of tunes instead. Let new things from noisemakers such as Frau, Wand, Spray Paint, Ghastly Spats, Black Time, Cheena, Destruction Unit and the Staches infect the part of your brain that sound goes. Have things of the past from Suicide, Dale Hawkins, The Velvet Underground, Strawberry Window and Honey Bane haunt your speakers. And, course, have other sounds on this go round make their way out of your speakers too.

Smashin Podistors: The ST5 "Jam Out The Kicks"

    

     The Smashin' Podsistorscast is now five deep. Have new things from sorts such as Obnox, Uranium Club, Protomartyr, Sewers, OBN IIIs and Screature sear your ear drums. We pulled some goodies off the back shelves from Wire, Bettye LaVette, the Feelies and Huggy Bear to reminisce about as well. And, as usual, plenty of clattering and blaring in between.

Smashin' Podsistors: The 4th Form

     Since this is the 4th show we could've dedicated it to strictly four on the floor beats. That would've gotten really tedious though. Dig new things for your ears from Heaters, Century Palm, Sex Snobs and Nun. Let things from the past like Thomas Leer and Robert Rental, Cows, No Trend and Ultravox worm their way into your lobe. Of course, all kinds of gruel, gunk and goodies tossed about too.

Smashin' Podsistors: Do They Really Come In Threes?

     Falling into to autumn all of a sudden with old noise from Public Image Limited, the Necros, Bantam Rooster, Cosmic Psychos and th' Faith Healers. New sounds from Dan Melchior's Broke Review, Raw Pony, Buck Biloxi and the Fucks, Flying Saucer Attack and Andy Human & the Reptoids. Other various bits of dissonance and melody tossed in for good measure too.

Smashin' Podsistors 2nd Dispatch

     Another hour excursion into the music stacks here at Smashin' Transistors. This time around we have solid gold from the Swell Maps, Laughing Hyenas and Jessie Mae Hemphill. We've also got future hits from Phylums. C.C.T.V., Swiftumz and Royal Headache. A bunch of swell sounds in between too!
