I just found out that an old friend of mine from St. Louis (and a contributor to an old punk-rock fanzine called Pipeline that I put out while in college at CMSU), LarryMorrisey, not only works as Heritage Program Director for the Mississippi Arts Commission, but also hosts its weekly podcast occasionally, a program broadcast on Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s digital radio network, as well as on WLEZ (103.7 FM) in Jackson, Mississippi. The show features interviews with Mississippi artists, musicians, craftspeople, and others involved in arts and culture from around the state. Cool!
Click here for an MP3 of Larry’s most recent show (from November 6) where he talks with delta blues musician (he plays a diddley bow), Bill Abel.
Who the hell is Pinche Gringo, you might ask? Well, aside from obviously being some “fucking American” rumored to be living in Mexico (he’s originally from Greensboro, North Carolina), he used to play drums (maybe still does?) in The Spinns, an excellent, raw garage-punk band that played a show here once at the fabled Frederick’s Music Lounge. Pinche’s real name (and the name he went by while in The Spinns) is Josh Johnson. I’ve also seen him referred to as Duke Rattler, and his DJ name is DJ Charming Snake (check out his excellent podcast called ECHOES From the VAULT that we’re planning on adding to the stable of shows offered at the GaragePunk Podcast Network). But right now he’s on tour as the Pinche Gringo One Man Band, offering up primal garage/broken blues slop a la Hasil Adkins or Reverend Beat-Man… dirty, soulful, trashy and rawkus. And he’s bringing his act to St. Louis, appearing live at the Way Out Club this coming Wednesday night, November 19. Here’s a purdy cool video of Pinche doing his thing live in Mexico not too long ago:
By the way, this show is the same night as the Andre Williams doco at the Tivoli, but don’t worry… you’ll have plenty o’ time to hit that AND still make it down to the south side for this hoppin’ show. I know cuz that’s exactly what I plan on doing myself.
Here’s episode #63 of Savage Kick. On this thrilling episode, another unrelenting dose of hard-hitting, lowdown and dirty rock’n'roll is offered up with a backhanded slap of reality that there really is some killer music being created all over the world, including places like Montreal and Kansas City! So grab the proverbial giggle juice and prepare to get punked by such modern bands as The Drones, Thee Oh Sees, Box Elders, CPC Gangbangs, Red Mass, the Daylight Lovers, Wrong Crowd, Thee Fleshapoids, Modie Bones, Fag Cop, Left Arm, and such classics as the Mummies, the Illusions, the Mono Men, the Devil Dogs, the Downliners Sect and lots more. Dig.
Are there any out there? Well, if so… PLEASE call the brand-new Savage Kick 24-hour voicemail line at (641) 715-3900, ext. 42878#.

Thanks, from the bottom of my mitral valve prolapsed heart…
This episode kicks off with a Rudy Ray Moore (RIP) tribute, then features a song for Obama (Barack the vote on November 4!), plus some demented country from Eddie Noack and Porter Wagoner, broken blues courtesy of the Bassholes, as well as selected cuts from the Dirtbombs, Cheater Slicks, Compulsive Gamblers, Apache, King Khan & the Shrines, Yussuf Jerusalem, Pierced Arrows, the Lyres, DMZ, the Sorrows, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, and more. Much more. Maybe even TOO much more. But I’ll let you be the judge. It’s well over an hour’s worth of your typical Savage Kick fare, and true, there are some creepy numbers included, for sure, but no real “Halloween Special” this year (sorry, kids!). The real horror will set in later anyway if we let John McCain win this election… SO VOTE!! Need more proof why you shouldn’t vote for that douchebag? Click here. OK, I’m done. Enjoy the show!
Despite being distracted all week by politics and baseball (hey, us podcasters have other interests besides rock’n'roll, ya know!), I managed to squeeze out another episode of this well-weathered program shortly after the the conclusion of last night’s big, overblown “debate”… and, well, if you’ve ever heard this show before, you pretty much know what to expect. This time out you’ll be hearing some new music from Jeff Dahl, Knuckel Drager and The Urges, as well as more great hard-hitting favorites from The Sonics, Sugar Shack, The Drags, Hank IV, Demon’s Claws, The Revelators, Q65, The Remains, Jerome Kidd, The Satelliters, The Dwarves, John Schooley and lots more. Once you’re done listening to this one be sure and go out and register a couple of voters, would ya? Then flip on the ballgame and watch the Cubs succumb once more to the Curse of the Billy Goat.
Episode #59 features some new stuff from Soundflat Records (The Hara Kee-Rees, King Salami & the Cumberland Three and Wild Billy Childish & the MBEs) plus a buncha great ’60s garage (The Grains of Sand, The Wheels, Shadows of Knight, the Starfires), some “new” Link Wray as well as a couple of great floor shakers from King Khan & The Shrines, some big beat courtesy of The Kaisers, plus the Dead Boys, the Cryin’ Out Louds, and more. Dig in and dig it.
Join Kopper as he slams the door on another summer vacation and kicks the kiddies out on their way to another year of schoolin’. This super-long episode features old faves from bands like the Ramones, the Runaways, the MC5, The Yardbirds, Larry Williams, The Victims, Hasil Adkins, plus more obscure cuts from The Spider Babies, The Tearjerkers, The Pop Rivets, The Fashions, The Super Stocks, The Cynics, and The Mojomatics, not to mention more godlike goodness from Gene Summers, The Reigning Sound, The Hentchmen, The Fleshtones, The Gears and loads more! Tune in, turn on and study hard!!
