Carl’s living room series brings a bunch of treats. Karate is going on tour soon to support their Numero Group reissues, so this show belongs to them, but I do want to draw your attention to John Du Cann, who has had recent reissues by the label Just Add Water, and Flying Norwegians, who have 2 LPs that have recently been reissued. The first ever Everything But The Girl single, a cover of the Cole Porter track ‘Night And Day’ has a RSD reissue, as did the 2nd Kid Creole And The Coconuts LP. Muffs fans have much to love in the vinyl release of ‘New Improved Kim Shattuck Demos’, and Alan Vega fans have Real Gone Music’s reissue of the ‘Saturn Drive’ LP. A lot of great stuff I’m not mentioning…

Carl’s living room (vinyl LP tracks played in real time on a turntable) returns to rock and gives a bunch – all songs are paired and announced after 2 songs. Some of my favorite pairings today are ALRN and KRGA, and Mink Deville and Chick Prophet. But no track made it into the show by sneaking in – all shine bright and any one could be your new fave.

Carl’s living room series goes way back to late 60s/early 70s with maybe a few other times thrown in as the spirit moved me (Hamburger All-Stars, Brian Wilson, and Linda McCartney come to mind in that regard). Was glad to see in issue 128 of Shindig (with Blondie on the cover) they called out Dana Gillespie ‘Dead’ as what is hot on their turntable. This show was recorded before that tip. If any of you read Andrew Vachss he frequently mentioned Judy Henske, and the nytimes even mentioned that when she passed away not too long ago.

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.

Carl’s living room (vinyl LP tracks) with a non-rock show. We start with the Dave Pike song that was cut-off at the end of the last show, then move to a track from the classic 1970 Moog Indigo LP, picking up with Barbados, UK, El Salvador, Edinburgh, to Jakarta Indonesia, before closing the first hour with 3 tracks of Italian soundtrack. The second hour travels through Africa, including a bunch of Zamrock. This show suggests a future Gulls Window Circus series ‘Far away lands’.

Carl’s living room series continues with LP tracks, this week changing to non-rock, including latin, reggae, balearic, jazz, ambient, gospel and re-edit. All woven to fit together in the usual Gulls Window Circus fashion: two songs in a set, musical pairings that embrace each other.
