Fuzzbox Phil presents a tribute to Lemmy’ Kilmister and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor of Motörhead. The history of Lemmy and Motörhead is the history of British Rock Music, the inspiration from original rock n roll, acid fried psych rock, speed chiselled punk rock and the inspiring of umpteen different Heavy Metal genres. Along the way tales of men in pirate costumes, Vera Lynn, unexpected Motown covers and the world’s most unapologetic racket. Don’t forget the joker, Lemm , Phil, Fuzzbox Phil salutes you.
Arge is back with a full on festive feast of a Cinematronica show. Featuring the tunes of Christmas past, present and future. (If that’s even possible).
We launch into a lively part one with Goldfrapp, Saint Etienne, Sufjan Stevens, Summer Camp and Eels.
Then in part two things take on a magical feel as Danny Elfman, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Cat Power, Vince Guaraldi Trio, Low and Kate Bush all help to provide a score to Dylan Thomas’s “A Child’s Christmas in Wales”.
Then the final part of this epic festive selection has a more classic Christmas feel with Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Phil Spector and of course, Bing Crosby.
If you’re not stuffed full of Christmas cheer after this lot then call me Ebenezer (Scrooge that is, not Goode).
Peter Hince was the roadie of Queen. He once de-rigged a show and had the 45foot trailer packed in 45 minutes. This makes him a pretty good roadie. He’s just written an enthralling book, Queen Unseen, which is as much about truck packing technique as it is about the unbridled hedonism of touring with the biggest band in the world when they were at the hight of their powers. In this special show, Peter Hince talks to Jim Griffin about the book, and his memories of that time. You can download the interview, to listen later from here.
A show best enjoyed while driving a brown Austin Allegro Vanden Plas, or at home through a silver and teak `Music Centre’ sipping a room temperature Mateus Rose.
Take in the full aroma of a stale hamlet cigar, pine tree air freshener and last nights take away curry.
Relax to a heavy weight Battle of the Bass Riffs `Kiss v’s Curtis Mayfield’. Unwind by contemplating the power of higher life forces with Venom and the Bad Seeds.
Listen to Hawkind’s Robert Calvert and stare into the fish bowl you are looking after for the next door neighbours and try to summon a psychedelic experience.
