Rock and Roll Report Podcast #63: More Loud Rock Fun and a Tribute to Greg Shaw

This week on the Rock and Roll Report Podcast I again play music from bands that have yet to be played on the show. I don’t know why I make a big deal of this all the time as there are so many amazing bands that I should never technically repeat but let this be a lesson to you all that rock and roll is far from dead but living and breathing under your very own collective noses!

On this week’s show I also play some tracks from Bomp Records’ excellent tribute to the late great Greg Shaw CD He Put the Bomp in Bomp: Greg Shaw as I wax nostalgic a bit on the passing of the legendary founding of Mojo Navigator Rock and Roll News, Bomp! magazine, Bomp! Records and too numerous articles, liner notes and production credits to his name. Greg Shaw inspired directly or indirectly every one of us who started a fanzine or website or blog or podcast dedicated to rock and roll and it was fun playing some of these songs in tribute to the man who I consider an important influence on my rock and roll upbringing.

We have written extensively on Greg and the Bomp empire (which is still going strong at www.bomp.com!) and here is just some of the stuff we have written about him in the past:

Rock and Roll Report Podcast #62 – So Glad You Dig Me

For those expecting a podcast last week I apologize but as I did Rock and Roll Report Radio on October 12th I just couldn’t get a podcast together in time for release on Wednesday.

On this week’s podcast I turn things on their head a bit and feature what I consider 3 very distinct styles of music in 3 very distinct sets. And I went against my initial impulse to start of the show with the harder stuff to keep things interesting!

I have just finished reading “Rick Rubin: In the Studio” and it is a pretty fascinating book as Rubin’s taste in music know no boundaries. From hip hop to hard rock, metal to Pop, Red Hot Chili Peppers to Johnny Cash, the guy understands that music is about the song and the emotion it conveys. A highly recommended read and a good rule of thumb to go by. Don’t get caught up in genres in niches, focus on the song and let the rest take care of itself which is kind of what I did this week. I love all this songs and at first listen you might find them to be quite different from each other but to me that doesn’t matter. Each song caught my ear and I like each one regardless of whatever genre YOU think they belong in!

Rock and Roll Report Podcast #60 – Sometimes A Girl

This week’s Rock and Roll Report Podcast is definitely made to be played loud! I apologize for the lateness of it’s release but various technical gremlins, work commitments and power failures resulted in me having to put off recording for a few days.

This week’s podcast features a number of bands and artists that I have never played before and they are all amazing. Despite the fact that these bands and artists are either unsigned or are on smaller indie labels they really would have no problem being slotted in on a commercial rock radio playlist in my opinion so if you like what you hear, request your local rock station to play these artists!
