Carl’s living room means vinyl LP tracks played on a real turntable in real time. A well put together rock show awaits you. With lots of unusual pairings that work well. Ed Gein’s Car paired with Jefferson Airplane? Yup. Christie McVie paired with Dream Syndicate? Yes again – many such pairings (my faves include Wire w/Tad, Dictators w/Pandora). You get a double dose of Bob Mould, with him even sounding like Psychedelic Furs on one of them. The show ends with an unknown 1979 7″ out of Maine (The Bumstead’s) sent by a Gulls Window Circus listener.

A new Gulls Window Circus series ‘Doubled’ – two side-by-side LP tracks from each artist, all LP tracks played on a real turntable in real time. I have professed a desire to play 2 tracks from artists in the past. 1988 seems to be ground zero for many of the tracks that get doubled today – Band Of Outsiders, The Jazz Butcher, The Godfathers, The Buck Pets, Close Lobsters, The Wonder Stuff, The Railway Children, The Ophelias. I think you will either wonder how they passed you by, or revel in sounds you used to love. Special tip: hear The Railway Children, Guadalcanal Diary, Close Lobsters, The Godfathers and The Jazz Butcher tracks.

Today we spend some time in Africa [Rob, William Onyeabor, Orchestre Massako, Rim And Kasa], and with artists from other countries that have strong connections to Africa [Plunky And Oneness Of Juju, Gaston, Tony Allen], then Northern Ireland [Andwella], France [David Keaton], UK [Róisín Murphy] and finally a bunch of USA artists [Orange Krush, Quincy Jones, Yvonne Fair, Bobbi Humphrey, Sly & The Family Stone, Fay Hill, Reanna Coleman]. A soul/funk delight. Every time I listen to these, its like discovering them again – William Onyeabor, Tony Allen, Bobbi Humphrey, Fay, Devil In The Flesh soundtrack, Rim And Kasa, and Reanna Coleman tracks.

Vinyl LP tracks rock show. NYC bands Steel Tips and Band Of Outsiders, Australians Tropical F*ck Storm, New Zealander Robert, West Coast artists Chuck Prophet, Love, Alan Munson, The Dream Syndicate, L7 and Melvins are all featured alongside a bunch of UK artists. The first 6 songs seem inseparable to me – just listen as a chunk. Herman Brood as always is a joy. I love the bass part in the Alan Munson track. That Kinks track – wow. New Dream Syndicate shows them still striving, as are new Steve Diggle-led Buzzcocks. Melvins from their 4xLP acoustic record (!).
