This week Gulls Window Circus is a one hour rock show. The selections weave roots/canyon rock/art rock and cover tracks from 1965 (The Mamas & The Papas) to 2024 (Tucker Zimmerman, Steve Wynn). The hidden gems you haven’t heard include Splinter, Jack Bruce, and CCCP-TV. While it doesn’t fit on paper, even the Fire Engines track belongs in this special blend of sounds.

A rock show that has new releases from established artists (Beachwood Sparks, Jack Waterson, Ian Hunter, Galen & Paul[Simonon], Divine Horsemen, Teenage Fanclub), the final Silver Jews LP, solo recording from The Meters guitarist Leo Nocentelli, Tom Verlaine playing guitar on a Waterboys track, Juliana Hatfield singing on The Salt Collective, and some reissues that give new attention to under-loved records that you’ll be glad to hear (Pete Wylie [Wah], Maximum Joy, Todd Rundgren, Ringo Starr, The Soft Boys, Mark Lanegan, Ivy, Polvo, Love Tractor). Nice tracks.

Rock Gulls Window Circus show that, like show #642, combines punk, art punk (1st had of part 1, 2nd half of part 2), and power pop (2nd half of part 1, 1st half of part 2). My goal was to make it all blend together, and I think you will enjoy 100% of the tracks – many great songs that have thrilled me as I was planning this. The show closes with a seasonal track for this 10/29 show.

Hard rock Gulls Window Circus includes some unlikely candidates (Value Added and Denim [must-hear for the lyrics]), and a lot of oddities such as Alan Vega when he tried a Billy Idol sound in 1985 and Saigon Kick’s Bowie cover, plus Cherie Currie from the one record she did with her twin, the Hendrix-isms of Mahogany Rush, the supergroup that never was (Dead Horse : Derwood Andrews, Rat Scabies, Glen Matlock), and some live magic at the end of the second hour with Mott The Hoople, Beck, Bogert & Appice, and Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express.

Following last weeks live-only WZBC Fundraiser show, this week Gulls Window Circus puts on a rock show with all formats – the first ever digital track on GWC (Boston’s Crow Follow), several CD tracks, including the excellent new Ekphrastics CD on Harriet Records and The Mighty Ions from Boston’s past, and a whole bunch of new vinyl releases and reissues. I had a Yellow Magic Orchestra LP in a Wreckless Eric sleeve and ended up playing a track that wouldn’t have ever come to my mind for this show but worked perfectly. Many moments of joy here, hope you get to hear it all.

Punk, art punk, power pop and post-punk rub shoulders in an amicable way on this Gulls Window Circus show. Punkers can head straight to The Users, Red Rockers, The Adverts, Naked Raygun, The Damned, Blatant Dissent, The Forgotten Rebels, The Stiffs and The Barbies. Looking at hard indie, power pop and post-punk, I just realized pretty much everything else blends these sounds, each in their own way. Songs are short this week, so there is a lot to hear – let’s get going!

A CD-only Gulls Window Circus show means we get to hear stuff that is only available (as physical product) on CD, or CD is the only format I have it on. This is a rock show. We get to hear tracks from several Raving Pop Blast! compilations (a Bristol label I first learned about from artists The Mudd Club), and the Caroline True Records comp ‘The Art School Dance Goes On: Leeds Post-Punk 1977-1984’. We also hear Barcelona-based Tarta Relena and Istanbul’s Gaye Su Akyol, a track from Chris Stamey’s latest, a self-released Gary Valentine CD (original Blondie bassist), recent reissues from New Math, Second Hand and LMNOP, the premier shoegaze band The Stargazer Lilies, and dug-up nuggets by Bone Of Contention, Further, Philip Rambow, William Carlos Williams, 10¢, Ivy and Silver Jews, and a couple of Harriet bands, The Coronets and Kisswhistle.

A CD spinning’ rock show: all CDs by necessity/availability. The show starts with a song each to celebrate the lives of Shane MacGowan, Denny Laine and Scott Kempner. Then we move to a lesser-known Boston band that introduced both a notable WZBC DJ (Commodore Vic) and a Freeze Pop (Sean Drinkwater). I had forgotten that I play trumpet on the track, but I can’t even hear it so it doesn’t interfere with my ‘never play your own band’ rule. 4 other contemporary Boston bands appear too (Crow Follow, The Complaints, American Beauties, Audioscam). The 2 latest releases of the revived (and delivering the goods!) label Harriet Records (The Coronets, Kisswhistle). The final recordings of Only Ones drummer Mike Kellie, a pre-Stone Foundation Dance Stance, a post-Sally Skull The Nettelles, a post-Charles Brown Superstar Bennett and a post-Mott British Lions make appearances. Thanks to Frank for urging me to do tribute songs, and supplying me with the treat that closes out the second hour.
