We began the
show with one of our favourite recent earworms, the wonderful “Persuaded” by Groovy
Uncle which features the Shirley Bassey-style
voice of new recruit, Miss Modus... great
stuff! From there we ventured into the usual mix of old and new, soft and loud,
here and overseas, plus a few semi-obscurities such as Sapphire
Thinkers , Space Yacob and the Giant Yeti
and the Glass Family to shake
things up. We also said “Vale!” to Kim Fowley and Leonard
Nimoy aka Mr Spock who both passed
away recently, before moving on with our “Compilation
[boxset] of the Week”, namely “Children of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from
the Second Psychedelic Era, 1976–1995”, the third in the “Nuggets”
4-CD boxset series put out by Rhino Records,
from which we played a selection of faves, including the
Church, which featured a very young Richard
Ploog [ex-Brats] on drums... but only
in the film-clips, since the song had already been recorded using the drummer
he replaced. Richard of course went on to
play for almost a decade with the Church
during their heyday years, notching up many “best
drummer” awards in the process. We finished with a trip back to the
mid-70’s to the second Roxy Music LP and an
instrumental from David Bowie’s brilliant “Low”
album.... and regular listeners will know how much the
Cat & the Brat love a good instro!! So until next time....
..... here is the playlist plus
moving pictures, including that first “Countdown”
TV appearance of Richard in the
Church, plus Bowie
playing “Warszawa” live in Japan in 1978, and the Times’
nod to cult TV show “The
Prisoner” – enjoy!
