Off The Charts
Monday June 24th, 2013 with Chris Ikonomopoulos

Psychotic Vibrations
The Underground - Psychedelic Visions - 1967 - Wing
Way less psychedelic than the name and record jacket make it seem. Either way, this track is a play on Psychotic Reaction by the Count Five with a little bit of Suzie Q thrown in.
Bo-Did-It
The Monterays - V/A - Bo Did It! - Satan Records
Oddball compilation of music that owes a great deal to the rhythm and sounds of Bo Diddley.

Lee Oskar - 45 - 1978 - Elektra Canadian
Whoops, I erroneously mentioned that Lee Oskar is Csnadian. He is actually Danish but lived in Toronto before moving to California and becoming a member of the band WAR. This song was recoded during his time in Canada.
