Floyd Jones On the Road Again (1953)
Drums – Elgin Edmonds* Guitar – Moody Jones. Piano – Sunnyland Slim. Vocals, Guitar – Floyd Jones
Blind Lemon Jefferson Wartime Blues (1926)
the mighty Blind Lemon Jefferson. Probably my favourite of his songs.
The Fall I've been duped 2008
!
M E Smith had a bit of having his wife or girlfriend of the time involved onstage. The last one was Elena (or Eleni, Elenor) Smith (nee Poulou), She sings this one and it works. She was active 2002-2016. From the Imperial Wax Solvent LP.
A very enjoyable show. Lots of Lux and Ivy soundbites
We listened to this twice. Very good.
No new show this week, but why not check out this Jungle Juice Classick?!
Kogar's Jungle Juice
Almost THREE HOURS of amazing music from the Lux and Ivy's Favorites series that started nearly 30 years ago! Along the way I'll talk a little bit about the series and how it started while playing (mostly) 45's from the compilations with interview segments from various Lux and Ivy interviews that I've found over the years. All mashed together with horror and exploitation cuts from their favorite movies. Also in there will be a handful of tunes from a possible LAIF volume 18! It's enough to make you a cross eyed gurning sight! Yowwwwwww. Special added bonus the incredibly rare and insane PAPA OO MOW MOW relaxation tape! Something I put together to listen to when I want to get in touch with my inner Purple Knif!
So slap on your wig hat, polish up your Batty Bucks (or cha cha heels, whichever you prefer) and settle in to your favorite leopard print comfy chair and take a trip that will tickle your fissure of rolando!

Donkey Jackets
Another useful garment worn by punks was the donkey jacket. I think I got mine from an army surplus shop. You could get them with plastic sewn on the shoulders but I didn't like those types. Too plebian. I think Hugh Cornwell of the Stranglers wore one and the singer of the Cortinas did too.
From the wiki
The donkey jacket is regarded as typical of the British manual labourer and trade unionist as well as members of the political left. It is also favoured by traditionalist Teddy boys, Rockabillys and skinheads.[3][4]

Susan out in Bath
The other day at the Slug. We don't watch much telly but there is a series called Somerset Wonder of the West Country. On channel 5 tonight. This week covers the Jane Austen parade in Bath which I have never seen in r.l. but should make fun viewing. Not really my cup of tea but I am curious. If you are interested here is a video of last year's.
Oxfam suits
Me in a Oxfam suit |
This was a thing in our world. Oxfam was the first charity shop certainly in Frome. They stocked 2nd hand shirts, suits and waistcoats. If you wanted the suit jacket with thin lapels look then Oxfam would put you right. I remember when I was at school they had a mufti day when you could wear your home clothes - most kids wore jeans and t shirt Charlie and I wore Oxfam suits and thin ties. Part of the best apparel for a rural punk. It has cultural connections to Dr. Feelgood and Modism I think. Possibly a revolt against denim.

The Wild Angels (1966)
Stars Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra. Wiki. Watch the first five minutes. It's good.
The Wild Angels is a 1966 American outlaw biker film produced and directed by Roger Corman. Made on location in Southern California, The Wild Angels was the first film to associate actor Peter Fonda with Harley-Davidson motorcycles and 1960s counterculture. It inspired the biker film genre that continued into the early 1970s.
Heartbreakers 1975
In my opinion the best punk rock band. When they had Richard Hell with them. See them do Pirate Love here
Adam And The Ants - The Jubilee Demos 1977
Some great songs here.
