I started out tonight’s show with a 10 song tribute to the memory of Torr Skoog, singer for the Kings of Nuthin’ who recently decided to check out of this world way too early. Really fucking sad.
After that, it was the normal cluster fuck that you would expect from the Rock N Roll Manifesto. A bit of this, a bit of that. Play loud!
Fun show tonight! As per usual, my listeners came through with some great requests that fueled much of this show. Thanks, everyone! I also played some tracks in memory of Stiv Bators, Conway Twitty and Dee Dee Ramone, there was a great trip to Belgium with this week’s Brats in Leather Jackets, and a Beer Minute I had to smuggle in from another state. Sounds like a great show to me! Hope you enjoy it as well.
Over the weekend I watched the documentary, “A Band Called Death,” so I wanted to talk a bit about it, and play some tracks from Death and Rough Francis. The movie really is a must-see if you’re a music fan. Check it out at abandcalleddeath.com.
Yesterday, I singled out some regular listeners on Twitter and asked them if they had any requests. The response was great, and it basically helped me to fill out the rest of the show. Throw in a Beer Minute and Brats in Leather Jackets and you have 2 hours of great music!
Big thanks to Bobby from Rough Francis and Russell, Ed, Scot, Robert and Dan for the requests.
It was back to the normal format tonight. Had tunes from all over the spectrum, a couple of requests, a band submission, some new stuff, some classics, a Beer Minute and the return of Brats in Leather Jackets. Download and turn it up loud!
Jumpin’, jivin’, screamin’, shoutin’, stompin’, rockin’ rhythm & blues! That’s right, nothing but R&B on tonight’s show, folks. The 60′s garage punk Manifesto is one of my most downloaded. I think this one is better! We’ll see what you folks think. If you can listen to this without moving some portion of your body, you’re probably dead!
The pre-order for Manifesto shirts is over. As soon as they are printed and in hand here at RnRMHQ, I will post the leftovers that aren’t claimed for sale on the Merch page.
I attempted to do a show for Mother’s Day tonight, but something tells me it wasn’t one of my better shows. My apologies in advance. I also took a break from the theme to play the new Black Flag track, which also isn’t that great. I think people needed to hear it, though.
Other than that, the Beer Minute was a really nice Saison. In the news, the pre-order for shirts will be up for one more week and that’s it. I will be placing the order then.
Another eppy-sode of the Manifesto down the hatch. Had a tribute to George Jones and a set for my lovely wife on this show, along with some requests from the chat and a whole bunch of other greatness. Dig in!
News flash: The Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor will now be a weekly show on Thumbin’ Radio, Saturdays at 11:00pm Eastern.
My good friend Rob Sheley threw together this spot-on tribute to George Jones. His loss cannot be understated.
Manifesto 141 had a set in memory of Johnny Thunders, some Slovenly Records tunes, some requests and a big thank you to Dan, who sent me a killer beer for the Beer Minute. Thanks, Dan!
It was time to reinstall Windows on my broadcast PC, which also meant reinstalling and re-configuring all of my hardware and software that I use to do the Manifesto. So, I had to do a live test to make sure everything was set up properly. This short show is the result. Big thanks to Dan and Chris for tuning in live and requesting some tunes.
