The Yank Sizzler http://theyanksizzler.libsyn.com Inspired by the phenomenal John Peel, we seek to hear everything, old or new. en michstoecker@hotmail.com Liberated Syndication - libsyn.com podcasts@libsyn.com (Liberated Syndication) Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:07:00 GMT 180 Inspired by the phenomenal life of John Peel Welcome. This podcast series is inspired by the life of John Peel. John reached millions of people around the world with his 40 plus years of broadcasting that was carried on BBC Radio 1 and the BBC World Service. You could hear Peel everywhere from mainland Europe, India, Africa to the USA and of course all over the British Isles. The name refers to what John would sometimes call American songs. Since this podcast originates from Lawrence, Kansas in the heart of the USA, I figured it was only just to call it The Yank Sizzler. You'll be able to listen to everything great I get my hands on, from studio tracks, private live recordings, online only exclusives to forgotten vinyl gems. The point is to allow people to listen to great music regardless of commercial intent. So from Lawrence, KS to London, England and everywhere we can possibly reach, let us remember what it's like to play music without boundaries and restrictions. If you have the time please leave a comment, good or bad. And if you find a song you love, please use the provided links to purchase the artist's music. Always support the music. Thanks John Peel, BBC, Yank Sizzler, Indie, Alternative, Rock, Lawrence, Kansas, Underground, New Music, Brit-pop, Live, Folk, Punk, Electronica, Americana, breakcore, calypso, blues, ambient, African, techno, ska, european, The Yank Sizzler theyanksizzler@hotmail.com Michael Stoecker http://libsyn.com/podcasts/theyanksizzler/images/needletime.jpg The Yank Sizzler http://theyanksizzler.libsyn.com Yes Rocking Czechs with Milos Forman. http://theyanksizzler.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=374555#

I wish I could share with you a MP3, but I want you guys to buy this awesome little number. There is a digital copy with every vinyl copy too.

But you want to hear the music right now. So go over to AAPA's Myspace and listen to it.

And finally, you're asking "Who's Love Garden Records?"

Well hotshot, they are the local record store in downtown Lawrence, KS. That's right. The record store is the label. How tasty is that.

Thanks to Amanda for telling me about it.

Its been four days now and the fact that KU (my alma mater and where I still live here in Lawrence, KS) won the NCAA Basketball Championship over not just Memphis, but North Carolina as well is all but a dream still. It was & will be the best basketball I've ever witnessed for my life, I guarantee it. I ended up standing on a bar being sprayed by the bartender and his tonic water gun. I screamed myself mute. Along with 40,000 fans, I descended upon downtown Lawrence and felt a since of community that pro-sports can never really attain.

That's all. Just thought I'd mention how happy I've been this week.

Rock Chalk!

PS - the photo is of downtown Lawrence after the win.

It blew me away and made me happy. I went out immediately and tracked down the LP it came from, an out-of-print gem itself called Master Jack by Four Jacks & a Jill. They were a white South African pop group who performed from the mid to late sixties. The five piece group had the stunning Glenys Lynne, aka "Jill",  at the helm vocally and I have to say that I've developed somewhat of a crush on her. She was so cute in 1968.

Anyway, since there is no reason to believe this album will be reissued anytime soon, its time to share.

Sorry about the lack of shows since October. I hate taking hiatus from the show but my recent job took all my spare time away. I was on the road up in Omaha (a wonderful city by the way) working on a Christmas feature film for next year. It was a blast, but it made me neglect the show. I'll be back after the new year, I promise. I really wanted to do a Xmas special podcast, but that too got canned.

Anyway, its Dec. 22nd. I always remember that date for its the birthday of great friend and its the day Joe Strummer left this good earth.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone. Take care and be safe.

Recently there have been some fun video link posts.

The first is a superb animated music video for "In the Belly of Whale" created by Gal Shkedi of Israel. The piece is somewhat reminiscent of that M. Ward video but only in style. Simply gorgeous.

The second is what I wish the Travel channel was, instead of Las Vegas hype content. Its a bizarre fishing program with John Lurie and Tom Waits in Jamaica.

It was recorded Nov. 14th, 2002, but I'm not sure what station broadcast it. It's not a BBC session as far as I can tell.

The session was all acoustic.

1. Nobody Really Knows Anything
2. interview
3. I Gave Up My Eyes To a Man Who Was Blind
4. Meet Me at the Shooting Range

Download the MP3 ZIP file here.

If anyone knows the station that carried, I would like to know.

Enjoy.

Several years ago I was visiting my old girlfriend in Angers, France. There I stumbled upon this gem of a 7". I seriously want to know how much money George Lucas got for the licensing on this. It was made in 1977 for CBS Records and it is the dreadful band Galaxy 42 singing a disco version of the Star Wars theme. It doesn't get any better than this.

Enjoy.

Galaxy 42 - Star Wars Theme (Disco Version) [MP3]

And in case you were wondering, the B-Side was the Dynamite Band w/ "She's Dynamite"
It really stinks.

On May 20th, 2004, Harvey played Peel Acres and here is the stellar session, none of which made the album.

Great show and Jens is a modest and stunning performer. But I wasn't always paying attention to what Jens was doing. You see, his six piece band is made up entirely of beautiful women, presumably also Swedish. Never have I wanted to amble around the country in a van with a band more.

And by the way, Jens played the crowd favorite, "Black Cab".

Check it out here -

The band formed in Wichita, KS in the late seventies and carried on well into the eighties. They even were courted by the earliest formation of Sub Pop Records. Almost everything in their catalog is out-of-print including the Bar-None anthology Heyday. But why am I telling you this? Because the best band you've never heard of is reuniting for 3 shows only. Two in Wichita and one here in beautiful Lawrence, KS. So if you can, don't pass up the opportunity to see them August 20th at Liberty Hall.

Here are my favorite two Embarrassment tunes -

"Patio Set" (1979) [B-Side to their first single "Sex Drive"]

"Lifespan" (1981) [Sub/Pop #5 cassette]

I remember when I first heard them. Call the Doctor had come out and I found a used copy for sale and took a chance on it. I didn't put that album down for a year. It is a masterpiece.

So in celebration of their phenomenal career I've pulled out my best sounding bootleg and will share the entire show with you.
