On vacation, thinkin of Dick and Rusty

The best thing about vacation is when you know that your mailbox is waiting for you to get home and find some amazing tunes.

Until I get to break into the mailbox (after to smokin hot weeks in southern Italy), I’ll share with you the two gems I recently laid my hands on.

First you get the fantastic  “Nancy Lynne” (oh, that hand clapping…) by Dick D’Agostin, mostly known for touring with Eddie Cochran.

And last but not least…straight from Phoenix Arizona is Rusty Isabell with his piano rock’n’roll instro attack “Firewater” (which you probably are sipping right now in the hot summer evening). Cheers!



		
	

The royale Stockholm Tour 2013

As youngest princess M is getting ready to tie the knots with her American tycoon in Stockholm, I will keep the capital of Scandinavia boiling and trembling with wild tunes fo three nights in a row, starting Thursday June 6 at Big Jeff, followed by a special night at the exotic Tiki Room on Friday June 7 and tuning out at the great chill out Saturday afternoon at Stockholm’s finest lifestyle store Sivletto. Looking forward to changing the heavy southern fumes of Malmö’s outskirts for that special northern sinister air….

See you at the club, and remember: You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly!

A Big Twang for instro killers

Getting ready for a real groovy event on May 11, Las Hultsfreed Grind, a strictly instrumental party with rockin’ acts, wild dj’s with only instrumental vinyl 45’s, burlesque dancing, exhibitions of tiki, dinner with fez, suits and dresses.
In other words…The Big Twang!

It will be held at Hotell Hulingen, Hultsfred, Sweden.

The Big Twang

Doctor Rock and I will be  playing only instrumental vinyl 45’s of screamin’ rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly, surf terror, jungle exotica and wild rhythm ‘n’ blues shakers..

And this one just might end up on my turntable that special twangy night…

Strait jackets and 45’s in Livorno

Just another Saturday night under a cool Italian February sky… DjUndertaker spins some wicked stuff when a starving band walks into Surfer Joe’s diner. A few tacos,tequilas and Ted Taylor tunes later Los Straitjackets and Big Sandy are off again, performing one of the tighest shows ever performed on a dark Tuscan hill somewhere in the suburbs of Livorno…

If you weren’t there, your loss.

Now I was spinning peacefully at Surfer Joe's...

Savage songs for Sivletto

On request I had a little fun making a playlist for some friends at Stockholm’s coolest retro store, Sivletto. This is my special treat for all you sinners hiding from the cold winter storms…

Savage songs

Sayonara, here comes the Astronauts!

Straight into my record stack from Japan: irresistable surf instrumental, Astronauts classic Surf Party.  Sounds even better wrapped up in a perfect Yokohama wave….

Astronauts

$7 a second…

…or a total of $1,100 for 2.44 min. That’s what you’d have to sneeze out of your wallet to lay your hands on this sweet Lemon Lime by The Tempests on ebay right now.

Worth it?

Definitely, if you ask me. Listen and see if you agree…

Ring my Bell, Gal!

I could hardly Bell-ieve it, but yes, the mailman brought me this piece of candy straight from France the other day after a tough ebay battle…

Proud owner of ‘Swamp Gal’ from 1959 by Mississippi born Tommy Bell. Also heard as a brilliant cover made by Swedish garage rock band The Nomads in 1988.
