The Paranoid Squirrel

Acweorna! I’ve had fun this week, digging through the archives of overlooked bands coming up with a couple that I hope you’ll enjoy. As you will hear the Studio is coming along a treat albeit with one hiccup, but soon I shall be surrounded by books, books and even more books. Coming up over the course of today’s show you will be exposed to;   01 Chinese Junk – Fuck You I’m Broke – Raw Deal EP – Ba...

Acweorna! It was another hot one this week down in South East London, even the thunder that brought in the rain on Wednesday evening, Thursday and Friday did little to cool things down. Fortunately, the new studio, although not air conditioned, faces north so by 11pm it was a veritable haven of coolness that is reflected in this week’s songs and artists. 01 The Scaners – No Panic, No Stress – II –...

Acweorna! What a glorious week weather wise it has been for us in the South East of England. Hopefully, where you reside, my dear listener, the weather has been kind to you as well. Too be honest I think I over did it with my legs looking like a pair of crab sticks. Sun Stroke is what I blaming for me stupidly deciding to record this episode in my new Studio even though the only things in there ar...

Acweorna! I hope once again the last seven days have treated you well? I was as per working on a multitude of things; getting the new studio ready after friend of the show and Squirrel Associate Arcwright had decorated it as I mentioned in last week’s show notes and what a fine job he did too. Reading, well actually still buying more books quicker than I’m reading them and obviously lining up some...

Acweorna! What a week; working, reading and playing great music whilst the new Paranoid Squirrel Radio Studio takes shape.

Time and a lot of shouting will tell. In the meantime this we...

Acweorna, another seven days have passed since I last sat down in front of my coal fired PC to give you what Bands and Artists will be coming up on another episode of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show.

Acweorna! I hope the last 7 days have treated you well and have been kind to you and yours.

However to mellow, if not soften, the blow may I present to you these artis...

Acweorna, I woke up early this morning with all these great tracks and songs going round and round in my head. Unable to wait until Friday’s episode to play them I decided that the only course of action open to me was to bump Friday’s repeat on Rock Radio UK in favour of an unrehearsed, make it up as I go along, live Sunday Morning Breakfast Show, which you can now Stream and Download.
