A format I haven’t really touched upon in Gulls Window Circus is compilation LPs. Compilations are rich because they offer a frame of reference through the known artists on them, yet also contain many unknown artists that the compiler can’t help but include. That is catnip to me! Today’s show contains post-punk (and punk) compilations, and offers a wild ride. I hope to do more compilation shows – there is SO much great music to be heard!

Rock show featuring a lot of new vinyl releases, almost all are reissues spanning multiple eras, also featuring new Curation Records releases by Thomas Walsh, Steel Fringe, Stewart Forgey, and GospelbeacH, and classic original 70s Lani Hall [of Sergio Mendes fame] doing a cover you will know. Like the past several shows, the concentration is on mid-paced tracks that go well together despite wildly varying eras, genres and geographies.

A rock show that finds a similar, or at least complimentary, feel from a wide net of artists. Many eras, genres and geographies are brought together in what (to me) feels a cohesive way. In the US this week is Thanksgiving, and I wouldn’t mind hearing this show at the table with friends.

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).

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.
