Specialty

With Carl Thien

In the same way that a seagull locates the one good piece of food inside of a crumpled up brown bag blown underneath a car after a worker’s lunch break, Carl finds the one good

song hidden at the end of side 2 on a dusty record in a forgotten corner of a record store,

and brings new finds to you every week on Gulls Window Circus, weaving a story that

never repeats itself as it ebbs and flows through time, geography and genre.

#499

The second week of Carl’s living room. We are listening to vinyl LP tracks in no particular order or plan, just playing tracks as if we were sitting together listening to records. Two bands I have know about for ages but never really checked out are back-to-back: Sharks and Love Spit Love. The former is Chris Spedding and Andy Fraser, and the later is Richard Butler post The Furs. A few weeks ago in the alphabetical 7″ series we hear 4 Skins and Golden Starlet. Here they appear from non-7″: 4 Skins from a 12″ (their only other release) and Golden Starlet from the anthology LP. We have 3 instances of famous folks outside of their normal orbits. Big Star’s Alex Chilton in a New Orleans cover band, Mark Sandman playing outside of Morphine in Hypnosonics, and Duff McKagan in pre-G’n’R band The Living. Robert Gordon has Tish & Snooky doing background vocals on The Catman (an ode to Gene Vincent), and a couple of unknowns (Mother Trucker and Noah) pull their weight with the company they sit in. Good stuff.

Carl Thien (host) 5:51:28 PM
thanks - I jave been enjoying time off and have been programming 5 different big series for the coming year - I have a LOT of fun surprises coming up for 2022, but they will require open ears and minds (lots of non-rock stuff)
JeffB 5:57:28 PM
had completely forgotten about, but remember the Higsons
Carl Thien (host) 5:59:34 PM
I had always thought they were Scottish
ricklistens 6:14:11 PM
NRBQ ....still new...if you got it you keep it
Carl Thien (host) 6:16:01 PM
I only found out about NRBQ when Peter Holsapple (dB's) was involved with them. Digging forward and backward from that point, I haven't found any dead zones - they seem to always have good stuff
Carl Thien (host) 6:16:31 PM
This NRBQ track sounds like Brian Wilson
ricklistens 6:18:19 PM
