PADCAST #11: RSD09 PART 2

PADCAST #11 Record Store Day Part 2 from  Lilypad Records

Some years ago Kerry had worked with the Chicago band New Hi Lo, whose guitarist was Mark Bachara and drummer Tom Des Enfants. Mark and Tom now play in the featured band Blueblood, along with vocalist Mike Des Enfants and bassist Shaun Paul Jones. This is their splendidly titled ‘Goodnight Nurse’.

We’ve raised the tone of Part 2 by adding snippets from interviews with the very late and lamented Roy Orbison and Dusty Springfield. See if you can spot them! For more, listen to Padcasts #4 and #5 (and read Cath Carroll's notes, too).

Dag Juhlin’s up next with his very own ‘Blue Diver’. Find more Dag on Facebook, you’ll be so glad you did.Next from Lilypad’s Capo5Four is a very enigmatic piece of work “From Your Lips’. It is followed by a very welcome inclusion of Johnnie Warmer’s‘It’s Just The First Step’. Johnny Warmer is/was John Carpenter andKerry Kelekovich. This is one of an unreleased album of songs “A Monthof Tuesdays” written by John and Kerry and recorded in 1993 at Thunderclap Studios in Hammond, IN.

Newest Lilypad outfit Dirty Chinchilla offer up a work in progress, ‘I’m On Your Side’, and Miaowclose this segment with a tribute to Manchester, Dusty Springfield, andthe drag queens who loved her, ‘Marry Me Dusty Springfield’. Althoughgrouped with the ‘Priceless Innuendo’ demos, this is an earlierrecording featuring Cath, Ron and Chris.

In the interlude, Cath finds time to remember imaginary slights at record stores in Liverpool too- oh, happy days interrupting Pete Burn’s sewing circle at the Probe Records counter,a refreshing oasis of indifference in that city where the cheerfulnessbylaws are zealously enforced by its upbeat citizenry.

Rescuing us from all this, The Slugs. These longtime Chicago favourites bring us ‘Sending Out A Line’ from their 2000 CD, Junior.Last song on this Padcast is Cath Carroll’s ‘Snobears’, an online-only special from the turn of this year.

Thanks for listening everyone, stop by soon, and now go record shopping.
