The Paranoid Squirrel

Shock! Horror! I have a feeling that no factual errors were made on this episode. Feel free to prove me wrong. It’s a Christmas feel that kicks things off this week before I go to the late 70’s for some Powerpop before playing some new up-to-date material. A Charity single gets aired, a couple of covers are played but aren’t part of “Covers Corner”. Tom from the Phobics phones in for this month’s...

On this week’s show I apologise for “Bartongate”, still maintain misheard lyrics are correct, discover missing musical files, admit to snubbing a band first time around, believe a song finished another radio show when it didn’t but it should, wonder if you’ve tested positive for Covid 19 would you still need to self Isolate for two weeks if you were going to Dignitas, all to the music of; Jello Bi...

Where to I start with this week’s cock ups? Well to be fair there was only one, quite a big one as the wrong Ident was aired for “Compare and Contrast”. I didn’t realise until later on and then proceeded to blame Producer Barton Stacey, who I made cry. Fortunately, due to Convid restrictions (He was shut in the Conservatory so he didn’t have to come into the studio) you can’t hear his wailing, but...

On this week’s show I remember how great two songs from two different bands sound played together live, fawn over a couple of albums that have Damned connections, finally get to play a track from a delayed album, big up a new Vinyl only Record Label, almost claim misrepresentation until I read the small(ish) print, mention an on-line auction with the money raised going to Save Our Venues, award “B...

On this Morning’s hot diggity Breakfast Show I talked to Tom Crossley of The Phobics spinning some associated tunes like; The Clash, The Phobics, Rolling Stones, Cockney Rebel, New York Dolls, Bad Karma Beckons, Helltrain, The Phobics (again) and Tanz Der Youth.

It’s time for some more Mouth engagement before Brain activity in another scintillating episode of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show. Over the course of the hour amongst some curtailed ramblings, I will forget headlining bands, musically almost mix two bands up and announce a new Segmentation, wonder which Motörhead song to play from the Deluxe Edition of “Ace of Spades” and remember Brian James pla...

Another week, another episode where I let my mouth runaway with itself as I broach the subject of Christmas as my Nephew hasn’t got back to me over what to get his Stepson, Denmark Street, bands having the exact same name, interconnected cover versions, The BBC props department using a Cold and Flu remedy in Blake’s 7, the US Elections, Rock Against Racism, making my High School Music Teacher cry...

On this week’s episode I apologise for miss timing things last week as for those of you who tuned in live didn’t hear much of the last song as I ran out of time and shamefully, I did the same this week. I discover I have a MixCloud Account that I hadn’t uploaded shows to for 7 years. Panic, as I seemly always do, over a limited 7” featuring Johnny Thunders and Steve Jones. Lay into the Suits who r...

On this week’s Show I wonder why Rat Scabies never played in the studio with Johnny Thunders, then marvel at Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Phil Lynott who actually did, almost come to tears on discovering that you don’t need to purchase CDs or mp3s anymore, get on board with a KickStarter Project, ‘fess up that an interview I conducted didn’t record and book tickets for a gig next month to the joyous...

Whilst eating my Porridge and Blueberries, I talk about band members avoiding death, more classic “Live” LPs, vinyl records not having download codes, my new Portable Digital Music Player aka “The Brick”, the search for a Motörhead Zip up Hoodie, Remastered albums, the Andy Peebles Lennon interview I had on Cassette, a 5” split single, bigging up other Radio shows and Podcasts and reforming my 198...

On this Episode you will hear me totally fluff up the Maonocaster Side Chain functionality, get my mic level wrong coming out of it, blame my Producer, Barton Stacey, who gives as good as he gets, scratch my head over a perceived album title, review a live album only to play the studio equivalent, go on a virtual spending spree, cut “Covers Corner” in half as I change my mind over a track to play...

On this week’s episode I prattle on about bands that make me stop what I’m doing, Gigs that are seated, the Congestion Charge, Gigs that are Streamed, a missing CD, a new album that I didn’t know anything about, getting 6 months of Spotify Pro for free, driving to Broadstairs and back, reviewers wanted physical copies to do their job, being “accused” of wanting a song off an album and failing to g...

I am struggling to think of another show where you would hear such a cross section of great music all in one programme. Thank Gawd then for the Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, where over the course of this week’s show you will hear me talk about what books I’ve been reading, about the loss of Ian Mitchell who briefly was in the Bay City Rollers, how a track from The Rollers “Elevator” LP sounds like...

This week’s episode was very much a last minute thing with me kicking one band I originally said I was going to play down the road to next week’s show. Not only that I had to edit one song in half for the radio version. Fortunately, you will hear it in its entirety right here. All because I was waiting for the new Damned track and was seconding guessing its length. So coming up over the next 60+ m...
