The Paranoid Squirrel

Last night’s show on Rock Radio UK was supposed to be the Soundtrack to our Brexit Street Party. Obviously, that has been delayed, but the Soundtrack still took place with some choice tunes that you can now Stream and Download. For your consideration, over the course of the hour (plus a little bit extra) you will hear; The New York Dolls, Electric Boys, Cats In Space, Mötley Crüe, Lords of the New...

Having hotfooted it back from seeing the Hip Priest London album launch gig I managed to play all the bands I planned to. All of which you can now Stream and Download. You will hear over the course of the hour; The Hydromatics, Plastic Penny, Francis Rossi and Hannah Rickard, Teenage Bootlerocket, Dan Vapid & The Cheats, Beach Slang, “DEMONS” Dead Boys, Dee Dee Ramone & Joe Sztabnik, CJ Ramone, Bl...

Another perfectly recorded Paranoid Squirrel aired last night, although directly after it finished I thought I swapped Skintight for Streetwalkin’ when it came to the Jaguars, but I didn’t. Apart from that.....There have been no reports of any verbal misdemeanours. All of which you can hear for yourself as all 60 minutes of the aforementioned show is now available to Stream and Download. So get re...

Rockin’ ‘n’ Rollin’ you out of last week, The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show yesterday on Rock Radio UK brought you choice cuts from my musical library. Over the course of the hour you’ll hear old, as in classic, new, as in will be classic. So, for your downloading streaming listening pleasure get ready to for tracks and stories from; The Hellacopters, Gluecifer, The Hip Priests, MC50, Blondie, The D...

“It’s here, it’s there, it’s every fooking where. The Paranoid Squirrel, The Paranoid Squirrel....” Well, when I said “everywhere” I meant either Podbean and Spotify or failing them; Sunday morning 9 am on Rock Radio UK as a repeat. Obviously. Tracks I cued up and played, without having to resort to fading any of them out, apart from the show outro, came courtesy of; The Hellacopters, Hellebore, M...

It’s now Saturday, the day after the event. Episode 673 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show was that event that you can now Download and Stream. Just in case you were out last night. Or forgot. Or only listen on Podbean. Anyway, tracks that you will hear will come courtesy of; Jonny Manak & the Depressives, Asomvel, The Hip Priests, The Wildhearts, Whitesnake, Märvel, Queensryche, The DeRellas, Joh...

Apart from my voice getting decidedly croaky towards the end of yesterday’s show, I think The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, that aired last night on Rock Radio UK, went rather smoothly. Bands and Artists that I played over the course of the show, which you can now Stream or Download to your hearts content, were: Lords of the New Church, Ramones, Johnny Thunders & Wayne Kramer, Vegasettes, Johnny Mo...

Okay, two errors this week; I mispronounced King Mastino, I know, me mispronounce something, unbelievable and I ran out of time to play the Ramones at the end of the show. Admittedly I had just over a minute left which meant I probably could’ve snuck something in and maintain my credibility, but you know me far too well. So, the revised running order that you can now Stream or Download is thus; Ju...

Apparently due to a Technical Issue, my fault, last night’s show might not have aired. I’ve no idea what I did wrong, but I did. Not that any of this will affect you my streaming and downloading listeners or those of you who tune in to the repeat on Rock Radio UK this Wednesday at 9pm. Anyway, staving off mediocrity I played tracks, if not songs from these artists; Dee Dee Ramone, Moons of Saturn,...

In a packed pre-recorded Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show, well I was coming back from the Black Heart after seeing Rich Ragany and the Digressions, The Speedways, More Kicks and The Spangles, I most definitely played, apparently without factual inaccuracies, tracks from these artists on Rock Radio UK last night; Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, Criminal Mind, The UK Subs, Jetboy, Jake Starr and...

Finally, after a 4 month wait, I got to sit down with Alvin Gibbs bassist with the UK Subs and at one time Iggy Pop and Cheap & Nasty. Along with pertinent questions regarding Alvin’s solo album “Your Disobedient Servant” and Croydon (sic) I air some accompanying solo material. However, before all that though you’ll get to hear; Ramones, Watts, Los Pepes, Jake Starr and the Delicious Fullness, Rat...

“You’ve been unwell” I said to myself “Pre-record Episode 667 as you’re bound to make a flu induced error, which you’ll be able to correct it and tuck yourself into bed earlier.” Well I certainly did tuck myself up as is my wont, if not way, I made a catalogue of errors. Well, all right just the one; The Hip Priests will be playing the Lounge in Camden on the 22nd March and Manchester the followin...

So all right I missed pronounced Super$hit666, I mean how hard can it be…..I put it down to my excitement at re-claiming my Mojo after last week’s “not into it” show. Plus, it was Episode 666 so maybe Mister B. L. Zebub had a cloven hoof in it. Anyway, bands that enticed and enthused over the hour were; Iron Maiden, SuperShit666, Venom, The Beatles,  Demolition 23, The Hip Priests, Broken Bones, S...

As predicted by me on unsocial media yesterday, even though I had a shed load of new and exciting stuff to play, I didn’t get it together in time for last night’s Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show on Rock Radio UK. Too much, sleeping, eating and drinking preceded it and not necessarily in that order. So you will hear a whole hours worth of live Ramones instead. Normal (sic) service will resume next week...

With a banging headache, a sore throat, achy limbs and Facebook not wanting to widely advertise the fact, I think I pulled off yesterday evenings Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show without any hiccups.  Oh to have been pre-recorded. The best laid plans and all that. Coming up of the hour, thanks to Robitussin cough syrup, you will hear tracks by; Rangers, Black Sabbath, The Damned, The Peawees, The Hip P...

Well true to form I messed up. Only by a couple of words. Instead of saying “never disappoints” I said, “never fails to disappoint”. A bit of a game changer I know. To who I was referring to….Download, stream and have a listen. Apart from that, I think I got away with it. Well, it has been a few weeks since I’ve done a live show. Obviously out of practice. Bands I played were; The Backyard Babies,...

Blimey O’Reilly for the third week in a row last night show was pre-recorded. Too late to mention about the passing of Pete Shelley, but I don’t think I could’ve added anything that hadn’t already been said. Music that will get your dancing shoes going came courtesy of; Sham 69, The Hellacopters ft Scott Morgan, The Spangles, Warrior Soul, TenPlusOne, Matthew Sweet, Kurt Baker, MC5/DTK, Dalaplan,...

And there’s me saying on this week’s show that I couldn’t remember when Captain Sensible last stripped off. What does he do for Johnny Moped’s 65th Birthday? Yep! Apart from that yesterday’s pre-recorded show, pretty much, adhered to the truth, with songs played by; The Anti-Nowhere League, Ginger Wildheart, The Idol Dead, Hoodoo Gurus, The Marked Men, US Bombs, The Routes, Johnny Moped, The Damne...

Obviously, as yesterday’s show was pre-recorded, everything went according to plan. Whose plan is another story. Anyway, whilst I was making my way back from seeing The Damned and Johnny Moped, Rock Radio UK was airing The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show which you can now Stream and Download from Podbean. Over the course of the hour you most definitely will hear; Ginger Wildheart, Electric Boys, Last...

Apart from getting gig days mixed up (Rockaway Beach #31 is tonight and wasn’t yesterday) and forgetting that I was going to play some live Johnny Thunders, last night’s Rock Radio UK show went off without incident. Kicking out the jams were; The Ramones, Motörhead, John Lennon, The Damned, Michael Monroe, MC5 Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, UK Subs, Urrke T, The Spangles, Drunk Mums, Thoma...

Well, well, well. After driving within the confines of the 20mph speed limit I still managed to get back from Deptford, behind the microphone, in time for yesterday’s Radio Show. All of which has been mp3ed and podbeaned for you, you discerning music listener to enjoy at your leisure. Bands featured where; The Damned, The Parkinsons, Hell Nation Army, Marvel, The Chatham Forts, The Rolling Stones,...

As the Bay City Rollers once sang “At the good ole Rock ‘n’ Roll Road Show, I gotta go Saturday night.” Well it might not be Saturday Night, but at least it is Saturday (Banana). Which means yesterday evening’s Paranoid Squirrel has been (in)sanitised via Podbean ready to be Streamed and Download to the device of your choice. Over the hour you will hear; William Shatner ft. Henry Rollins, Sex Pist...

Fighting off a cold I managed to squeeze out Episode 656 of The Paranoid Squirrel with apparently no faux pas. If there were, no one has noticed them or was kind enough not to bring them to my attention. Artists that were Rocking and a Rolling were; Motörhead, The Litter, Justine and the Unclean, Topper, The Hijackers, Jake Starr & the Delicious Fullness, Ghost, Bernie Tormé, HeWhoCannotBeNamed, G...
