The Paranoid Squirrel ep 1094

Acweorna! Welcome to episode 1094 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show — another hour of the best in Punk, Junk & Glunk! This week, Covers Corner gets busy with a rock ’n’ roll centenary celebration, a synth-pop classic given a heavier treatment and a live cover that prompts a few thoughts on debut albums and what came afterwards. Elsewhere, there’s a remarkable tale of fan-powered independence, a heartfelt dedication, a long-overdue second album and a trip into Southern California’s mod and garage archives. Fresh discoveries rub shoulders with familiar favourites, with garage grit, sharp punk, British guitar-pop harmonies and hard-rock swagger all finding room in the Squirrel Dray. There’s also news of December punk gatherings, a little romance at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and a defiant finale for those of us who’ve never quite fitted in.
