Carl’s living room means we listen to vinyl LP tracks played in real time on a turntable. There is a mix of older and new tracks, and even new artists covering old tracks, such as show opener Helado Negro covering Bowie. Then there are old artists doing songs they wrote that were covered to greater acclaim by other artists, such as The Nerves, who were covered by Blondie. A few Boston bands appear: Vitamin and November Group. Names popular from other groups would be Robert Wyatt (Soft Machine), Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees), Wilko Johnson (Dr Feelgood), Dave Davies (The Kinks), Luke Haines (Autuers) and Peter Buck (REM).

The last Carl’s living room show was mostly bands from far away lands, so this show formalizes that concept into yet another Gulls Window Circus series ‘Far away lands’. That said, the first 6 tracks are 4 that didn’t first into last weeks CD spinnin’ show, and 2 that didn’t fit into show #514. After those 6, the first hour is Zamrock, then the second hour jumps around with the connective tissue being superior sounds from other places.

This week’s show debuts a new series, CD spinnin’. When you are used to spinning vinyl, doing a CD-only show is challenging, so this one was more work for me that usual, but I think the fruit it yielded is individual! Almost every track is ONLY available as a CD. There are a handful of tracks from 2 compilations I like very much: ‘Another Record Compilation 2021’ and ‘Hits & Missiles’. The 4 latest CDs newly energized Harriet Records are introduced, as is the new EP from Boston’s Violet Nox. Boston’s Field Day and Rochester’s Painted Birds shine, the elusive non-LP Pussywillows track ‘Vindaloo’ and tracks from Airport Girl, Jackass and Gilded Lil do as well.
