APRIL FOOL
1. James Taylor Quartet - Theme From Starsky & Hutch (5:54) APRIL #1 2. The Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified (3:06) FOOL #1
"Welcome to Saturday Tea Time on Ellensburg Community Radio. I am your radio bloke Paul Dunn and I will be playing you weird and wonderful music for the next two hours. We started off with the James Taylor Quartet having a big knitted cardigan blast with Theme From Starsky & Hutch. Then we went to the pure joy of being Alive and Amplified by The Mooney Suzuki. Now to a song I only heard a couple of weeks ago, even though it came out in 2012, and I thought you out there in radioland deserve to hear it. Here is Mary Epworth and Black Doe."
3. Mary Epworth - Black Doe (4:37) APRIL #2 4. Sonic's Rendezvous Band - Electrophonic Tonic (3:50) FOOL #2
"There was guitarist Fred Sonic Smith a.k.a. Mr. Patti Smith and his follow up to the MC5, Sonic's Rendezvous Band with the song Electrophonic Tonic. Isn't it time you wrote that great American novel, and here to help you is Kid Koala and Money Mark."
5. Kid Koala & Money Mark - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (4:46) APRIL #3 6. The Congos - Don't Blame On I (4:06) FOOL #3
“That was The Congos and Don't Blame On I. What you can blame on I is the fact that I directed you to eburgradio.org where you will found other great shows and improve your life, or at least give you a slight distraction. Now to Bowie's first girlfriend, Dana Gillespie and You Just Gotta Know My Mind."
7. Dana Gillespie - You Just Gotta Know My Mind (2:10) APRIL #4 8. Blind Willie McTell - Statesboro Blues (2:36) FOOL #4
"Blind Willie McTell with the Statesboro Blues, but there is no reason to have the blues when you have Ian Dury and The Blockheads with many Reasons To Be Cheerful."
9. Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Reasons To Be Cheerful, Pt. 3 (4:45) APRIL #5 10. Earl Brutus - Universal Plan (3:44) FOOL #5
"One of my favourite bands of the nineties who never quite made it but were quite influential on bands before and after. It was Earl Brutus with their Universal Plan. After Earl Brutus, main guy Nick Sanderson became disillusioned with the music business and became a train driver on the London to Brighton line until his untimely death of cancer aged 47 in 2008. It does mean for a brief time there was a rock 'n' roll train driver with guy liner. Now for something very silly, from the album the Beauty and the Beard, the Beauty being Ann-Margret and the beard being Al Hirt, or is it the other way round? Here is Personality."
"There was Slave with the funky Slide. Next up is one of the UK's most interesting punk bands, Poly Styrene's X-Ray Spex and Identity."
"A recent Arcade Fire track there, Creature Comfort. If you are looking for creature comforts then you could do no worse than checking out eburgradio.org. There you'll find information about great shows like the phone in show Rodeodoc on Monday's at 11am. Dr. Fuller will be able to help with your creature's comfort. Back to the music with Hawkwind contempories Pink Fairies insisting you just Do It"
"Sonny J and Enfant Terrible, a tune introduced to me while playing pool upstairs in a pub called The Globe in my hometown of Leicester by my mate Steve. Not one to spend money but was willing to put a quid, which is one English pound, into the jukebox because he'd thought it was a tune right up my street. He was right, I bought the 45 single next day. Everyone forgets that Black Sabbath came out of the psychedelic phase, and to prove it, from their most famous album Paranoid, here is the much ignored Planet Caravan."
17. Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan (4:30) APRIL #9 18. Roots Radics - Storming The Death Star (3:08) FOOL #9
"A bit of dub from the Roots Radics with a track called Storming The Death Star. Who knew Luke was playing dub on his X-Wing Starfighter stereo. Now let's head down to Mother's where we'll find the Henry Mancini Orchestra and Peter Gunn."
19. Henry Mancini Orchestra - Peter Gunn (2:05) APRIL #10 20. Wu Tang Clan featuring Junior Reid - One Blood Under W (4:12) FOOL #10
"That was the Wu Tang Clan and Junior Reid. There's something scary about fun fairs especially when Siouxsie and the Banshees are involved."
21. Siouxsie and The Banshees - Carousel (4:27) APRIL #11 22. Edith Piaf - My Lost Melody (4:43) FOOL #11
"Edith Piaf with My Lost Melody. Here's Hank Williams warning you that Wealth Won't Save Your Soul."
23. Hank Williams - Wealth Won't Save Your Soul (2:46) APRIL #12 24. The Barbarians - Moulty (2:35) FOOL #12
"The everyday tale of Moulty by the Barbarians. Now let's go on a journey with one of my favourite UK sixties bands, The Pretty Things."
"That was DJ Rob Swift with a track that has the puntastic title of Spartacuts. If you want a film that combines an undead motorcycle gang with the great Beryl Reid and George Sanders then check out Psychomania, a british film from 1973. I believe in the US it was given the rather clumsy title The Death Wheelers. Anyway here is some music from the soundtrack by John Cameron and Frog after a little clip from the film."
27. John Cameron & Frog - Psychomania Front Title (3:02) APRIL #14 28. The Besnard Lakes - This Thing (4:35) FOOL #14
"That was Besnard Lakes with This Thing. So from this thing to That Thing and Larry Bright who is shaking it."
"The great Parliament and Funky Woman. I love that 'oops' in the middle for no indiscernible reason. We are at the end of another Tea Time. Thank you for joining me and see you next Saturday for more Tea. We are going to end with Iceland's finest, the Dead Skeletons and their Dead Mantra, so pour that last cuppa from the pot and enjoy. Cheerio."
31. Dead Skeletons - Dead Mantra (8:40) APRIL #16
