Continue reading "Red Red Wine On A Sunday #492 – Cool Water"The Ledge #473: This and That
A few weeks ago, I experimented with a show that didn’t really have a theme. It consisted of nothing but songs and/or albums I had been listening to around the house. Apparently plenty of listeners enjoyed this show, as I received a number of encouraging messages, so I guess it’s now sort of a “non-theme” that I’m going to try to do at least once a month.
So that’s what you’re experiencing on this week’s show. These are all records I’ve been playing around the house the last couple of weeks. Included are excerpts from two giant box sets of important works by John Lennon and The Who that came out just last week. There’s an attempt to prove a theory that Gang of Four influenced Credit In Heaven, the third album of the Suburbs. There’s a few records I pulled out of the archives for the first time in years, along with some great new finds at the used store.
And there’s also a set of two great new releases that came out today! Brad Marino’s latest, Looking For Trouble, is every bit as great as expected, and fellow Rum Bar Records artist The Nuclears put out a smoking new album. Look to hear more from those records on next week’s new release show!
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

(*both laugh*) Episode 35: Kali Masi (full band chat)
Just before the world shut down last year, Chicago's Kali Masi drove to suburban Massachusetts to hole up at Jay Maas's Getaway Recording Studio to get to work on the full-length follow-up to their 2017 debut, Wind Instrument (Take This To Heart Records). Fast forward a year (March 26th, to be precise) and the band unleashed the final product, [laughs], to the masses, also via Take That To Heart Records. It is, in your humble host's opinion, is one of the best albums in recent memory.
We managed to convince the quartet to forgo their regularly-scheduled band practice and, instead, to chat with us for an hour or so. We of course talked about the writing and recording processes, and the decision to embrace some of the weird directions that they scratched the surface of on Wind Instrument. We also dug into some of the different ways the band not only kept busy but kept productive in the run-up to the album release, included a handful of brilliantly self-produced videos (see links below, especially "Trophy Deer" and "Guilt Like A Gun"). Much thanks to Sam and Wes And Anthony and John!

The Ledge #471: 1981 US Punk Faves
1981 was a very special year for your favorite podcast host. I graduated from high school, and immediately started at the local radio station when I entered college. While the 2 – 6 am shift may seem like a nightmare to most people, it was the perfect opportunity for me to investigate the floor to ceiling record racks in the cramped studio.
This week’s show represents the US-originated records from that era that mean the most to me today. Most of them I discovered during these late night shifts, but a few of them I must admit they weren’t faves until years later. Of course, I have to highlight the first releases from my two favorite Minneapolis bands of all time, and longtime faves the Ramones put out their sixth album that year. There’s also a couple of new indie labels, IRS and SST, that would greatly influence me throughout the rest of the decade.
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

The Ledge #470: Playing Catch Up
It’s always rewarding when a confluence of ideas results in a show that has a perfect flow. That’s what happened this week. This show began with a slight nudging from a couple of acts that had submitted tracks earlier this year that had just not yet found a place in a show. Add to that a couple of great records featuring Dirty Truckers drummer John Lynch that he sent when we were putting together the Rum Bar Records episode.
Then a section of super sweet, relatively new records were discovered at a local record store. I’m talking about mint 2020 releases that I had missed out on when they were first put out. Adding to that secton of the show are a few other 2019 and 2020 albums that I was late in discovering, along with a couple of fabulous archive releases and suddenly I have two hours of great music for tonight!
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs.

Episode 78: The Great Pineapple Pizza Episode
For decades, Turbojugend has withstood crises and ups and down with our favorite, go-to band ass well ass personal and micropolitical issues. One topic, however, seems to be reappearing with a rigorous force and a seemingly never ending persistence: is Pineapple Pizza an acceptable thing, should it be tolerated or even appreciated? TJ Radio picked up the slack and made it this episode center topic (well overdue).

This month features sets devoted to a number of great indie labels – Big Stir Records, Red On Red Records, Rum Bar Records, and a sampler of tracks from the new Bo Diddley tribute on Slovenly Records!
There’s also the usual mix of Americana, power pop, indie rock, punk, and a few other genres. How about a set of John Wesley Harding covers from the likes of Graham Parker and Wreckless Eric? Or a British country band covering the Replacements? This is the show to keep up with great tunes being released all over the world.

(*both laugh*) Episode 34: Half Past Two’s Max Beckman!
When we started doing this "show" (is it okay to call it a show? It feels weird...), the initial point was to talk to bands and people in the music scene who had their plans for 2020 put on indefinite hold and who, somehow, used the time of uncertainty to remain connected and creative and to put their previously unforeseen downtime to good use. To paraphrase guitarist Max Beckman, for Orange County ska punks Half Past Two, 2020 ended up having a much more productive silver lining than they had initially planned.
The nine-piece band have stayed busy, putting out a series of covers (with corresponding music videos) of artists as diverse as Madonna and Ludo and Fountains of Wayne and Save Ferris and, my personal favorite, Dance Hall Crashers. The videos are all up on YouTube - check them out. But more importantly, the band have remained hard at work on their upcoming full-length release. They've put out a handful of singles from said album thus-far: a heart-warming, full band version of the previously acoustic "Shine," followed by "All About You" and, most recently, the absolutely killer "Mean Green."
We caught up with Beckman for a chat about how the band has used their quarantine wisely, their plans for their upcoming release (hint hint: while Half Past Two's 2017 Kickstarter was 400% successful, they have a different avenue planned this time out), what it's like to work - and get Covid vaccinated - at Disneyland, and when they may, finally, get their first chance to make it to the East Coast as a band.

The Ledge #468: First Quarter Report
Since we are just a few days away from April, it makes sense that the last episode of the month is a look back at the first quarter of 2021. What albums, EP’s and singles have caught my attention? Has it been a great year?
The answer is the same as always. Despite what the naysayers have to tell you, there’s always great music being released and tonight’s show is living proof. This two hour episode flows from genre to genre, and from the famous to the friendly little local bands that have submitted their tracks to me. If you like independent music, you’re going to love this show!
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs.

(*both laugh*) Episode 33: Nat and Rob Rufus from Blacklist Royals
Blacklist Royals were one of the very first bands I got turned on to when I first started with Dying Scene more than a decade ago. Their debut full-length, Semper Liberi, was released back in 2010 on Paper + Plastick Records, and was filled with straight-forward, rock-and-roll-inspired punk rock songs. It was fun and no-frills and workman-like, and hell, it even included a cover of a Springsteen song.
I first met Nat in 2012, when he made an solo acoustic appearance in Boston opening up for the acoustic Ignorance Is Bliss run that Face To Face's Trever Keith and Scott Shiflett were doing. I met his twin brother, Rob, for the first time the following year, when, alongside Teenage Bottlerocket and Joshua Black Wilkins, the full-band Blacklist Royals opened up for a plugged-in Face To Face on a lengthy nationwide tour.
We've stayed in touch over the years and I've interviewed them both for various projects -- 2014's Blacklist Royals sophomore full-length Die Young With Me, Rob's 2016 debut book of the same title, and most recently on (*both laugh*) Episode 2 for Rob's first novel, Vinyl Underground. Somehow, despite having kept in touch for close to a decade, (*both laugh*) Episode 33 marks the first time I've ever talked to both Nat and Rob together!
On April 2nd, the world will be graced with new Blacklist Royals music for the first time in a hot minute. The three-song Doomsday Girl EP (also released on Paper + Plastick) features a sound that's raw and reminiscent of Semper Liberi, but with lyrics that are a little more personal, a la Die Young With Me. We talked about the new music - and also Nat's recent debut solo EP, an instrumental, Dick Dale-inspired surf guitar heavy release, as well as all of the goings-on in the world of Bad Signs, the Rufus' brothers' goth-punk honky tonk side project with Nashville singer-songwriter Samantha Harlow. Now that we're a year into quarantine, we also talked about how it'll feel once we're all vaccinated and we can get back to enjoying live music together again. Maybe for Fest this year, for the Semper Liberi 11th anniversary (Fest in 2020 was supposed to be feature a Semper Liberi 10th anniversary show with original BLR members, but we all know how that turned out)...

The Ledge #466: Home Plays
I have to admit that I get too hung up on themes. Obviously, the new release episode is always going to be a part of the lineup, but I really don’t have to create a basis for my weekly music choices. I actually wish that I could think in terms of just randomly airing songs that fir my mood for the day.
This week I actually attempt such a show, but there’s still sort of a theme. These are all records that I’ve been listening to in my spare time. One is a newly-unearthed Rolling Stones bootleg. There’s tracks from a great compilation of late 60’s rockers from The Dakotas. There’s a new Neil Young live album from his vast archives.
But the freedom of this loose theme is that I did throw in some songs that I have never aired before. That Soiuxsie and the Banshees album that I happened to grab at the record store a few weeks ago? Sure, why not. The Lloyd Cole track from the box set I ordered directly from Lloyd? Yep. A great 2018 album by The Conquerors that my friend Dan recommended? Of course. And I just had to air a couple of Bottle Rockets tunes after the announcement of their breakup. Of course, there’s also some more recent records that have received some recent airplay, and there’s always room for some live Replacements!
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

(*both laugh*) Episode 32: Chris Wollard and Chad Darby (Ship Thieves)
tl/dr: Ship Thieves have a new album out on Chunksaah and it rules and we talked to Chris Wollard and Chad Darby for a couple hours and it was super fun and important and memorable.
To say that I'm a big fan of both of these guests is to vastly understate things. Not only do Chris Wollard and Chad Darby separately occupy important roles in a couple of my favorite bands of all time (obviously Hot Water Music and Samiam if you're keeping score at home), together they've been half of the grossly-underrated Gainesville band Ship Thieves for just over a decade. If you're not familiar with the history, here's a brief retelling: back around 2008/2009, Hot Water Music's Chris Wollard put together a side project that was never intended to be a "real band." He got together with Addison Burns and a few other buddies and recorded a handful of songs at a handful of locations and put out an album known as Chris Wollard + The Ship Thieves back in 2009 on No Idea Records. Fast forward a couple years, and a lineup that included Wollard, Burns, Chad Darby on bass and Bobby Brown on drums had solidified, and collectively they put out the second Chris Wollard + The Ship Thieves album, "Canyons," in 2012. It was a little more riff-rock oriented than the occasionally-acoustic debut album that came before it. By 2016's "No Anchor," the lineup remained not only intact but had developed its own identity and direction, thus Wollard's decision to drop his name from the title and have the project carry on as Ship Thieves. 2021 brings with it the release of "Irruption." The band has found a home on a new label, Chunksaah Records, a label run by the inimitable Kate Hilts and the Bouncing Souls camp. It continues down the musical road that the band was headed down on "No Anchor," and in many ways it does all of the things that "No Anchor" did, only it does them better. The rhythm section of Darby and Brown is as tight as ever, and Darby's bass grooves move in ways we hadn't heard from this outfit before. Burns also moves to the front to take on co-vocal duties on a few tracks, his smoother delivery a noted contrast from Wollard's trademark gravel-throated tones. The band had a lot of fun making the album, and that is evident in spades throughout the duration of the couple hours that we were lucky enough to chat with Wollard and Darby. This was one for the baby book (we still have that, right mom?). "Irruption" is out March 12th and you can theoretically pre-order it on vinyl, except that all the options are presently sold out. There's other new Ship Thieves merch here though: https://www.coldcutsmerch.com/collections/chunksaahrecords

(*both laugh*) Episode 31: Tobias Nathaniel (The Red Step, Black Heart Procession)
Chances are, if you're familiar with Tobias Nathaniel, it's through the decades he spent primarily behind the keyboard as one-half of the duo at the core of San Diego's Black Heart Procession. (Okay, so maybe you know him from Three Mile Pilot. Or, sure, maybe you know him from playing keys on that Blonde Redhead song that got used as Evil Morty's theme on Rick & Morty.) Anyway, about a half-dozen years ago, Tobias moved from the West Coast to Belgrade, Serbia, where he lives with his now-wife. He started a new project called The Red Step, which finds him not only playing guitar but assuming lead vocal duties for the first time as well. The Red Step put out their long-awaited, self-titled, debut full-length last week on Pravda Records, and it's a really great piece of sometimes haunting, sometimes thrashing, sometimes punishing piece of post-punk. This was a fun conversation, covering a lot of ground that started with Tobias' musical upbringing and his decision to step out in front of a band for the first time, and with special importance played to the unique guitar that's been along with him for the duration (an Ibanez AM300, of course). Make sure you pick up The Red Step here: https://pravdamusic.com/album/1860124/the-red-step

Here's the Playlist:
Continue reading "Red Red Wine On A Sunday #486 – We’ll Inherit The Earth"(*both laugh*) Episode 30: Josh Caterer (Smoking Popes)
EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, I know the audio says it's Episode 29, but I recorded a couple out of order, so it's technically Episode 30. Glad we cleared that up.
What do you do if you're stuck in pandemic-related shutdown and your band has to put plans on hold indefinitely? If you're Smoking Popes frontman Josh Caterer, you record a live album at an empty bar in Chicago with a few guys you've never played with before! For the project, Caterer teamed up with John San Juan of the Hushdrops and John Perrin of NRBQ, and the trio took over the Hideout in Chicago for a night in late October. The resulting album is due out later this month on Pravda Records!

The Ledge #464: Ramones’ Album Tributes
After last week’s show featuring songs about The Ramones, it was pretty much a no-brainer to pair it with a show based around covers of the same band. But I’ve done that theme before, so how can I put a new spin on it.
Well, the answer came with today’s release of K7s’ remake of the entire Mondo Bizarro album, along with last year’s Subterranean Jungle rerecording by Brad Marino. How about a whole show of album-length covers? If you think about it, that is the ultimate show of respect for a band and/or a record. Anybody can do an individual cover, but to remake an entire album is a huge demand for an artist. Even the best albums have a song or two that’s not up to the standard of the rest of the record, so giving those songs the same attention as the feature tracks is a major accomplishment.
So with that all in mind, with the exception of covers by Tommy and the Rockets that bookend the show, this entire episode is “Side A” of these types of releases. Along with the already mentioned new records, the second half of the show dates back from a series of albums released in the 90’s on Selfless Records.
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion!

The Big Takeover Show – Number 318 – February 22, 2021 – Homebound Edition XLIX
This week, after lil’ bit of 1960 Johnny Kidd & the Pirates: brand new Cheap Trick, Guided by Voices, Bye Bye Blackbirds, X, Arab Strap, Belle & Sebastian, and Star Collector, plus Desmond Dekker & the Aces, Lloyd Price, Eddie Arnold & the Tennessee Plowboys, Ricky Nelson, Peggy Lee, and The Who
The Ledge #463: Songs About The Ramones
As I state at the beginning of the show, the initial idea for this theme came from the plethora of recent songs that mention The Ramones in the title, both individually and as a group. Add to that a few faves from the past, along with some great suggestions from social media, and I had a fantastic playlist to air tonight. And since the band was also known to write songs about their lives, there’s even a set of Ramones covers of songs of that sort.
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs.
(*both laugh*) Episode 29: Matt Hock and Dave Walsh from Space Cadet
Dave Walsh & Matt Hock from The Explosion have a new project, Space Cadet. Their debut album, Lion On A Leash, is out March 26th on Wiretap Records. It shows heavy Brit-pop and post-rock influences. We spoke at length about the new project, the impact of COVID on their process, and the host of special guests on the album. Also lots about their super fun videos and their personal punk rock journeys. It's technically two Zoom calls stitched together, so pardon the hiccup in the middle!

Last week’s new release show was all about submitted tracks. This week’s part two of the series compiles all of the other new records that have recently been released (or will be soon). The show is marked by the return of quite a few veteran artists, including Matthew Sweet, Liz Phair, Juliana Hatfield, and many others. There’s also quite a few long-awaited followup records by bands such as Kiwi Jr., Shame, and Baby Shakes. Plus a lot of other odds and ends.

Episode 5: TJR Episode 76: SOBERJUGEND
Yes, we know, Turbojugend is a fun and beer loving micro-(brew)-society. But on occasion and with age, we tend to need a break, even from the booze. On a serious note: we´ve seen sailors and -rettes in really unfortunate situations. That´s why we installed aTJ support group that goes by the name of "Soberjugend". After all, we need to take care of each other. This 5-way conference not only spans the globe but also provides some valuable insights.

The Ledge #461: New Releases (Pt. 1)
Few things make a music critic/internet DJ happier than a package of new music, and I’m blessed to have the support of so many bands and labels. Whenever I receive an email that includes a link to a single or album, or find a packet in my mailbox, I immediately put it in the front of my pile of music to check out.
As I was putting together this month’s new release episode, I suddenly noticed just how many great records I’ve received in the past few weeks. So why not do an entire show bassed on artist/label submissions? That’s what we have here this week. Some are from individual artists (Dan Israel, Jeremy Porter, Indonesian Junk, New Rocket Union, etc.) that want me to check out their new tunes. Others are because I’ve found myself on a label’s mailing list. I definitely need to thank Big Stir Records, Red on Red Records, and Rum Bar Records, who really knocked it out of the park with not one but two free samplers of current and upcoming new releases!
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs.

The Ledge #460: Covers
As I stated on tonight’s all-covers episode, I have a folder on my hard drive where I toss in any cool remakes that I accumulate. When that folder is filled then it’s time to do another show of that type.
Well, the folder is full, and was actually overflowing after Wednesday’s announcement from Stardumb Records that February 26 will see the release of the K7s tribute to the Ramones’ “Mondo Bizarro” album. Yes, Kurt Baker, Luis Sanchez and others have recorded a song by song remake of the entire album.
Another strong collection of covers comes from Drunk Dial Records. “Fake” is a compilation of songs by…well, fake bands from movies and TV. There’s a whole set of quick bursts of greatness from bands such as Pavid Vermin and the Thorazines with Hayley Crusher from that tribute.
These are just a few of the highilghts of tonight’s show. If you love power pop, punk, Bob Dylan, Americana, and other mini-genres, tonight’s show is for you.
After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs.
