This week, quite by chance, i ended up down a dingy set of steps just around the corner from Ealing Broadway station at the door of the Red Room club formally known as The Ealing Club all thanks to my old friend Nell and the fact that the new Elizabeth line train decided not to stop at Acton on Monday afternoon 

She said, i thinkyou may be interested in this spot it's where the earliest versions of the Stones & The Who played. We poked around for a bit and then hopped on the bus back to Acton.

The next day as i started to discover more about the club on the news came the story that Jeff Beck had died

Of course.... at the one and very same club Beck and the earliest incarnation of the Yardbirds played regularly... queue twighlight zone intro theme!

So here's a bottom of the pops celebration of all those who ended up the biggest and greatest were actually bottom of the pops themselves.

This week as we run up to Christmas they haven't been that many new releases of note so i find my self going down various musical wormholes as the night draws in at 4 pm , so, a bunch of half known and unknown oldies in the show with a few new tunes to boot and no Christmas tunes.. if i have to hear that bloody band aid warbling about them not knowing it's Christmas time once more i'll go insane.  

Had it ever crossed anybody's mind that a good portion of the planet really doesn't care if it Christmas or not.

In this week's show you'll hear, amongst others, The Iftan Band from Mogidishu, The Warumpi Band, Jody Reynolds ( He wrote Fire of Love as covered by the Gun Club) Towns Van Zandt, The Velvets, The Clean, The House of Love, Booker T & The MG's, The Staple Singers and many many more in our version of a xmas mega special

The around  europe by train show carries on and this week i find myself in A Coruna in northern Spain which i have to admit is one of the more underwhelming cities i've travelled through over the past 5 or so weeks

More tunes heard or thought about whilst on the road. Some new tunes too and maybe one or two from the past as well. 

If you have listened to all 100 shows thankyou from me and I hope you'll still be with me on show 200.

This week you find us continuing on our jaunt round Europe so a couple of tracks to reflect that as well as the usual old, new & everything in between.

This week you'll find us amongst the hedgerows and enjoying nostalgia. 

Yes it is September and we're in the UK enjoying the last days of summer in rural idyll west sussex where bottom of the pops grew up. 

Seeing old friends wandering through just harvested fields talking to the sheep and the chickens in the garden.

But don't worry there's some new tunes as well.

We go back to 1987 where the music is better than I remembered it and of course bubbling under was a lot of new music from the UK, US & Europe that presaged the acid and electronic revolution just around the corner.

Because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.  We also know there are known unknowns; That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.   But there are also unknown unknowns, The ones we don't know we don't know.

This week we've got punk songs about the council from back in the day. Also, Mall Grab & Novelist, The Dirty Wurds, The Conspiracy, the Wau Wau Collective, Dirty Sheeran, Little Richard and lots of other little surprises.

Enjoy

This week noisy, trash guitar stuff, Summer party season starts in Europe so we dig up a couple of suitable goodies from the past + some more tunes from a couple of artists featured last week, including, Fat Earthers & Molly Nilsson and others.Other things too I just haven't decided what they are yet

This week the dreadful right wing Morrison govt has been turfed out and Australia has a new labor leader who has fought all the labor culture wars since the early 80's and loves to do a bit of pub dj'ing and playlist making on the side . His choices can be a little obvious but who cares when he likes Radio Birdmen, The Style Council, The Falling Joys, The Saints and of course Nick Cave. So let's start the show with some of Albo's faves before we jump into the new shit.

Including Fat Earthers, Whitney K, Michael M, The Conspiracy, Tee Vee Repairman, Plastic Beatniks, Woog Riots, Occult Character & more

Because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.   We also know there are known unknowns; That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.   But there are also unknown unknowns, The ones we don't know we don't know.

This week it is the 300th issue of our weekly BOP chart and newsletter so the show will be a bit longer because i feel like being self indulgent. 

Saw the David McComb (Triffids) documentary "Love In Bright Landscapes" premiere on Friday night at the Randwick Ritz with an all-star band including Robert McComb, Evil Graham Lee, Mick Harvey, Rob Snarski & others following the film. Superb and rather sad but it reminded me how amazing the Australian underground music scene was in the early 1980's.  

Also on the show a brand new tune from The Chats, some great French gear old and new, some Euro Synth Pop as well as Fleetwood Mac, Yazoo, Telephone, The Creature Comfort, Loom, Ron Trent, Trans X, The Comet Is Coming, Forest Swords amongst others.

Not a lot

BLAH

I wanted, initially, to do a show that completely ignored the world around us. But i just can't bring myself to do that when songs just keep popping into my head, and, as with most of the time i've spent on the planet, music and writing are the only two things that can help me towards understanding things that can never really be understood.

The first classic 2022 album has been released by UK Act Yard Act so you'll be hearing from them, as well as from the improbably named Baron Von Toll Booth, 1977 Bristol Punk band The Cortinas singing about Valerie Singleton, remember when rabies was the top  disease to get and lots more too.

Still pretty quiet on the new release front as everybody slinks back to work, as long as they / you haven't ben laid low by the dreaded global lurgi.

Sad news of the week is that we lost the great Ronnie Spector so something to remind us of her on the show. Also, somehow, back in the earlier 20teens Woodpecker Wooliams bypassed us.. I correct that huge mistake in this week's show with a track that has just been on repeat all week here at BOP towers. Also on the show some Stewart Lee simply because in this day and age we need him + tunes from Applebim, Pachanga Boys, Patrick Cowley, Fag Cop, Ed Kuepper and many more

Something old, something new, something borrowed etc etc...  This week we start with a Cajun feature.. things were pretty dark down there back in the day. Also this week we have special guest the enigmatic Victoria in the house who selects some Sex Pistols, a banger by X Club and some luscious pop by Sydney artist Rainbow Chan. We also have the Cockney Rejects, remember the late great R Dean Taylor and as always a few more tunes to tickle the palate.

Don't forget share amongst your friends pets and family.

What's new this week on Bottom of the Pops?

The passing of Robbie Shakespeare the week before last doesn't seem to have garnered much attention, here at Bottom of the Pops we think that is madness and we'll try to redress the balance somewhat.

Otherwise, the usual fare, something old, something new, something borrowed etc etc

What's new this week on Bottom of the Pops?

Unfortunately it's death that kickstarts us into action this week Mensi is gone, Nesmith is gone and Andy Barker of 808 State too.

We pick up on some tunes we missed from 2021. The excellent m(h)aol from Dublin, London's  Wu-Lu and also from the UK DJ Pitch  and My Computer

Also tracks from RZA, The Monkees, The Rudies, The Dickies and some sublime Peruvian music from the 60's just released on a new Honest Jon's best of.

Although it is almost the end of the year we aren't quite ready to deliver you our faves of 2021 .. but everybody else has so i have a bunch of new tunes, some old tunes and a few that bypassed others but not eagle eyed music blogs.. 

Here we go with Gino & The Goons, Hank Willams III, Dr Syntax & Pete Cannon, The Monsters out of Swtzerland, some early 80's Italo disco pop, Jo Buck Yourself, Pauline Anna Strom and plenty more.

Also, lots and lots of new releases and last week it was Spacemen 3 finishing off the show, this week I revisit the Beta Band and a miniscule amount of what happened afterwards. For me they were the ultimate 90's band.. not those showoffs from Machester, not those cheeky chappies from the south and not those hairy ones from the Pacific NW... The Beta Band had it all and like any perfect band (think Velvets, Triffids etc) they were never going to make it mega big.. they were just too good.

This week we've got it all. The fab Sister Cookie from New Orleans, an old house tune they used to play at Tonka parties at the Zap in Brighton back in the day. Kevin Morby covering a Bill Fay song in a playground next to the Seine. The Spacemen 3 covering the MC5. As well as a great tune about Koko the Gorilla from Mosco and  song that sounds like it could have almost been on Dylan's Desire and that's only the half of it.
