Radio Riot's Salute To Johnny

I hosted and co-hosted a punk rock radio show on KFAI FRESH AIR RADIO 90.3 in Minneapolis from about 2001 until about 2008.  I was asked by Felix VonHavoc to replace Radio Riot originator Abbi Allen (who had quit to host her own show DART GUN RADIO which is still going strong). Felix and I made a great radio team, riffing off of each other and with vastly different tastes and takes on The Punk Rock.

Felix would often split town to go on tour with bands on his label HAVOC RECORDS, leaving me to fend for myself and alienate the audience we had built.

On one of these solo outings I decided to pay tribute to that oft-sung hero of rock and roll; Johnny.  Without once mentioning the theme of the show I simply played two hours' worth of punk and new wave songs that had the name "Johnny" in the title.

Re-Ups

Since most of the stuff that I posted myself was hosted on Megaupload I will attempt to re-up them somewhere else.  Keep in mind, however, that I work 3 jobs and have precious little time right now to maintain the blog.

If you can hold out I will try to get my stuff available again.

Riotous Assembly: My favorite compilation album ever

Being a fan of early 80's UK punk this album RIOTOUS ASSEMBLY fell into my hands in about 1984 or 1985 and has been my favorite comp. album since.
Featuring Abrasive Wheels, Vice Squad, Chaos UK, Disorder, and a handful of bands that aren't nearly as well known, RIOTOUS ASSEMBLY is all killer no filler!

The Maids - Back To Bataan

Here's an amazing story on the history of one of the Killed By Death gems out there.  I'd tell you the story but the LA Weekly beat me to it by 10 years.
