Super-unusual Nightwatch - diving in head-first with the Hardcore punk!! We're celebrating the release of local band Slim and Popular's new LP 'Minimum Rage' and the Record Release Party at House of Targ on Thursday, Oct. 5th! Also, the new Kim Salmon solo LP 'My Script' gets a good play, and we finish with a typically challenging Merrie Mack! Whew!!
Slim and Popular are an Ottawa Harcore Punk Band that have kicked around for the last 4 or 5 years, and have finally put out an LP... on vinyl no less!! Remember, the Record Release Party is at House of Targ on Thursday, Oct. 5th! |

Now, a stack of my favourite proto-punk tunes... just because!! Ragged, raw, careening almost out-of-control... before it was cool! I didn't used to include the Slade cut in the milieu... but I realized that, by the time the air-raid siren kicks in, that's close enough for punk!! |

Second Time Around Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum |
TV Eye Stooges - Funhouse |
Kick Out the Jams MC5 - Kick Out the Jams |

Now we get into more familiar Nightwatch Territory - Starting with some Canadian neo-psych (one of the mellow cuts - they do some pretty crazily heavy stuff, too... recommended!), then dive into the material from the early-70's! |
Simian Shelf Shooting Guns - Flavour Country ![]() ![]() |
Still Life Girl Day Blindness - Day Blindness |
Eternal Thirst Mu - Mu |
And we finish by FINALLY getting back (after almost a month!) to another edition of The Merrick Mack, starting with some pretty challenging stuff (improv/music concrete...) and then making way into some heavy/stoner-influenced material! |
