WELCOME TO THE ER by THE COLONEL on PIRATE CAT RADIO LOS GATOS CALIFORNIA KPCR.org…

Lisa Vere from Cerridwen\'s closet explains to THE COLONEL what her free clothes shop is all about. All amongst many tunes in many pies.

Pirate Cat Radio\'s newest host joins THE COLONEL on his journey through Eclectic & Random and tells us about her new punk \'n rock show. We discuss why Americans spell everything shorter along with in-depth vegetable chat. Oh and there is some music too: A smidge of new stuff, a dollop of poppy 80s and double lashings of the great Ernesto Duran, fast becoming THE COLONEL\'s fave... evs. 

Good lord is it June already? Will be the longest day soon...THE COLONEL goes back to some eclectic and random - as is his won\'t - but also sneaks in \"The flock of Rock\" and \"The slew of new\". From William Shatner to Fontaines DC - we got your back.

Still basking in the glow of a perfect Guinness, sarcastic people, the smell of freshly moan English grass, great music oozing from every orifice and hot UK weather, THE COLONEL continues his sojourn through the new bands he heard on the damp rock. Music’s future is in very good hands…

THE COLONEL indulges in more great bands he discovered back on the Deathstar (that may well have been around for years - but hey ho). In particular, Getdown Services, Nilufer Yanya (who he\'d leave his online-bride for), the outstanding Model/Actriz from Boston and the very wonderful The Murder Capital. It\'s all fresh and hot like a steaming pile of police horse manure on a cold, winter\'s soccer...

Fresh from operations in the UK going undercover at The Great Escape festival in Brighton and tuning in to the imperious BBC R6 on the wireless, THE COLONEL has returned with an ammo box jammed to the brim with brand new top tunes and talent from all over the globe. So, sit back and play biscuit chicken and see how long you can keep a shortbread in your tea before it dissolves into nothing. FYI -...

Nostalgia earl doors from The Colonel - from April. He shall return from Blighty for next week in the saggy flesh...

We celebrate again the brave boys who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could listen to great music....

REPEAT

REPEAT

THE COLONEL felt and Ibiza vibe today and was demob happy before his leave back to the damp rock next week. It was a voyage of discovery as THE COLONEL came across Jeff Buckley thinking he was David Bowie and he heard for the first time a massive blooper involving a gay/blind rock climber. He was even moved to tears after listening for the first time to Bowie being lauded by his hero Scott Walker....

It was VE Day a whole 80 years ago on May 8th 1945 and THE COLONEL commemorates our brave boys who died to keep us playing great music. The start of the pod is a little solemn, as its should be, but it soon gets into its 1.5 hour groove with more than a soupçon of eclectic and random tunes to stuff in your pipe. And THE COLONEL welcomes his first EVER guest MATT WILLIAMS, manager of The Bywater in...

After a short bout of influenza weakened by the malaria still in his blood from conflicts in Burma and Belize, THE COLONEL returns for another 1.5 hour shift. From TWaT to WTF (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - this week only) THE COLONEL battled on to play Frogpower, Mort Garson, Life, The Cleaners from Venus and NZCA Lines (the Colonel doesn\'t know how to pronounce them either)... 

THE COLONEL was dancing around the may pole, missing his pagan roots back home as he couldn\'t find any virgins to sacrifice. Another 1.5 hours of eclectic and random including Brian Wilson giving a good impression of a crazy person, Squid going Pro-Magnon and Tom Waits wondering why he hasn\'t had a stroke yet...

Seemingly unintentionally, THE COLONEL played quite solemn stuff today which must say more about his mood right now. Bjork with funerial drones, Roxy Music lamenting with Eno, Stiff Little Fingers seemingly celebrating a hidden bomb and Iggy Pop sounding like he\'s considering seeing the next world very soon. Not even Herb Albert could cheer things up. But if you was wanting \'Eclectic & Random\'...
