Genre gumbo stirs this non-rock show, even as one of the artists (Eddie Hazel) is tagged as Psychedelic Rock on discogs. Funk/Soul, World, Jazz-Funk, and Latin Jazz seem to describe most of the artists, but you will hear Reggae. Boogaloo and African sounds and even some prog touches. It is a nice crop, and all of it feels like it belongs together.

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 non-rock Gulls Window Circus show that has some electro/beats, some reggae, afrobeat, funk, library music, post-punk and krautrock. The Rootsman track has sure been running through my head all week, as have the Jan Wobble and Earwig tracks. I think the flow from one sound to another goes really well and that you will find much here to love.

Gulls Window Circus returns to un-themed music following last week’s conclusion of the 24-week folk-like/folk-unlike series. Today is a non-rock show. I’ve taken the binary approach or rock/non-rock, so some of the artists here might be more of a grey area, appearing in both depending on the song (I’m thinking of Kalahari Surfers, Ultravox, Bene Gesserit, Fun Boy Three, Moonshake, OMD, and Bryan Ferry). In other areas, Dimitri From Paris brings my first exposure to Jamiroquai in his re-edit, Vibes4YourSoul re-edits Gal Costa, and Carol Douglas gives the first-wave disco treatment to Doors’ Light My Fire.

The twelfth and final week of the alphabetical Gulls Window Circus series folk-unlike covers the letters W-Z, with a respectable 7 entries for Z. The Edgar Winter track has been running through my head all week. Traffic’s flutist Chris Wood has a great track. If you don’t remember John Wonderling from his track in the folk-like series, here is another chance to hear him. There are 2 Stones artists in solo mode: Ron Wood and Bill Wyman. The label Big Potato records introduced me to Tucker Zimmerman – here is another track for you. If you are a Barbara Manning fan, World Of Pooh are here. If you love to dig deeper, Zenamon, ZSOU and ZuZu’s Petals are here. Sad to see the combined 24 weeks of folk-like and folk-unlike series come to an end, but here we are – hope you have enjoyed, and stick with the Circus as it moves on to other genres next week.

The eleventh week of the folk-unlike series on Gulls Window Circus covers the letters T-W. Three of my top artists ever (Television, Johnny Thunders, Tom Verlaine), the Modfather/Cappuccino Kid (Paul Weller), a Norwegian band that inspired Gull Boy (Mats Wawa), a band I used to write to about gigs in the Turkish Delight days (Travis Pickle), 2 artists I loved since their starting-off bands (Russ Tolman with Suspects/True West, and Jack Waterson with Green On Red) are here, plus post-Rain Parade band Viva Saturn and many others to love and learn, each with their own story.

The 10th week of the folk-unlike Gulls Window Circus series completes the letter ‘S’ and starts ‘T’. This week’s lesser-knowns (EVERY track chosen here is a 5 star affair) are Sopwith Camel, The Souls Of Inspyration, The Springfields, Terry Stamp, Joey Stec, Stumpwater, and Tall Bald Grandfathers. The A-list artists are The Smiths, Son Volt, Chris Stamey, Stephen Stills, Joe Strummer, Jim Sullivan, Matthew Sweet, The Teardrop Explodes, and Teenage Fanclub. The artists loved by many, but maybe sitting a little outside the typical public eye are Alexander Spence, American Spring, Kelley Stoltz, Bridget St. John, Dan Stuart, Subway Sect, Nikki Sudden, The Summer Hits, Sunflower Bean, Norma Tanega, and Team Dresch. Artists from the somewhat recent past you may have forgotten are: Spare Snare, Sniff ‘n’ the Tears, Rachel Sweet, and R. Dean Taylor.
