The Asshole 500? Hey! I could run in that! ... Alongside Gene Simmons ;)

Ha! Ha!

New Gruesomes in 2024! Thank you the musical gods for bestowing this gift to us mere morals. And thanks for playing them, Renny!

1:42 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
A sides and B sides.

1:43 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
You can thank What Wave Dave, Ian.

1:49 PM, May 1st, 2024
IanJ
Oh, I thank What Wave Dave on a daily basis. My life would be a post-apocalyptic wasteland if I hadn't discovered that zine.

I just destroyed a chair with an axe, to the sound of the Riot. It was very soothing.

1:52 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
Choppin' and boppin'

1:57 PM, May 1st, 2024
Bobby Calzone
Hey, wait à minute, lets get some sauce, and get fucked up??? Hey, i can do that too!!!

2:02 PM, May 1st, 2024
Ian J
Whoa, what a slick mix 'tween Wesleys and Dino Jr.

2:09 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
You can call me slick, just don't call me greasy and never call me late for dinner.

2:28 PM, May 1st, 2024

Dinner? ... Sauce???

I'm gonna need a break from work after this set about work. Great show.

2:38 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
Thanks Frankie. I'm kinda proud that I did it without playing a single Pete Seeger song.

2:40 PM, May 1st, 2024
Frankie
And no 'Working Man' from Rush.

2:48 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
Never Rush Frankie, never Rush. To my ears, Geddy Lee sounds like Carol Channing singing while being dipped in boiling oil.

2:51 PM, May 1st, 2024
Frankie
Ha ha, yes. I must admit I did like some of the mid tempo stuff that Rush did. I wasn't much on the full throated screamers.

2:56 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
And that album 2112, singing the praises of Ayn Rand and Objectivism just scares the heebie jeebies out of me. All those MAGA monsters who are now in Congress read and believed those books when they took them at University.

Who else remembers $1.44 days at Woolco?

3:02 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
Or their 99 cent deleted records.

3:04 PM, May 1st, 2024
Frankie
Any memorable albums from those days? Hard to go wrong with 99 cents.

Renny G (host)
Don't mind me Frankie, I'm just a music bigot. I apologize, I'm the one missing out on the joys of Rush. I shouldn't be proud of my prejudice.

3:10 PM, May 1st, 2024
Frankie
Ha, new touchy mouse.

3:11 PM, May 1st, 2024

Yes, they had two series of Italian compilations, that would have the strangest collections of bands on them. The Dells on one side and Pussy Galore on the other. La Grande Storia Del Rock. and a Jazz series called I Gigante Del Jazz. I found some grat songs on them.

3:13 PM, May 1st, 2024

You haven't been accidentally glazed by the sauce have you Wobby?

Neil & The Garden Gnome

'The Joys of Rush' would be a short book.

3:15 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)
Which two songs Neil. Don't leave me hanging. I know sweet diddly all about Roxy Music, other than Eno once played with them.

3:18 PM, May 1st, 2024
Frankie
Also covered by Canned Heat. Nice one written and sung by Wilbert Harrison, who had a few other crossover type hits.

3:24 PM, May 1st, 2024
Renny G (host)

3:26 PM, May 1st, 2024
