The NERVEBREAKERS: "Mental Shakedown: Laurent Bigot gets the full story of these long-lasting Texas punks" in ten pages from UGLY THINGS #30

[ttexed]

"The Nervebreakers from Dallas are not typically lumped in with cowpunk. This is partially because they preceded the aforementioned L.A. bands, & partially because the country influences are less obvious on their recorded material, though they cut their teeth in the early ‘70s by covering George Jones. The band mixed roots-y, country-inspired melodies & lyrics with early punk in a way that positions them as a precursor, if not early exemplar, of the genre...

One of the few American bands to open for both the Ramones (at the Electric Ballroom in July 1977) & the Sex Pistols (at the Longhorn Ballroom in January 1978), tracks like “My Girlfriend is a Rock,” with its driving rhythm & twanging guitar, showcase the Nervebreakers’ ability to bridge the gap between punk & the traditional sounds of American country."

The other week, I got the itch to make a radio-themed playlist. I wrote down all the songs I could think of that would fit the theme, and then decided to crowdsource further suggestions via Facebook. After adding everyone else’s suggestions to my own, I began compiling the playlist. The original version had 80+ songs on it. I narrowed it down first by getting rid of artist repeats (there were several bands/artists who had several songs that fit the theme; I narrowed it down to one from each), then by getting rid of other songs which just didn’t flow well with the rest. (Not because I didn’t like them, necessarily, just cuz they didn’t fit well in the final playlist.)

So, here’s the final version. 52 songs that are about radio or at least mention it in some way. Full tracklist under the cut.

The Ledge #631: Inside The Hudson Compound

If you follow me on the ol' Instagram, you may have noticed that every Saturday night I post a collage of my Last.FM stats that, for the most part, highlights the vinyl I've played in my home over the past week.  So I figured why not put together a broadcast featuring songs from those very albums I've enjoyed over the past couple of months?

Soon enough I had enough tracks for not one but two separate shows, so look for a sequel next week. This week's show features almost 60 years of great rock and roll, from 60's psych to 70s glam to late 70s punk, along with a couple of side trips to Americana and Minneapolis. This is certainly a glimpse into what fuels my existence on a daily basis!

Also, please head to YouTube and subscribe to our channel - Public Domain Classics 888. We have close to 500 classic films from over 110 years of releases!
