This episode explores the music of the 90's that was harder-edge and guitar-washed. With music by PJ Harvey, The Muffs, Alice in Chains, and the like. Also some Bikini Kill, Husker Du and Stranglers for good measure.

This episode is was inspired by Steve McQueen's movie, "Lovers' Rock". Ideal tunes for snuggling on the couch.

Today's show is a psychedelic-soul-orchestral-explosion of sound courtesy of the brilliant Rotary Connection

Wherein Island Girl plays some of Violet Crumble's favorites in honor of her birthday. No party this year, so great music will have to serve instead.

All kinds of dance tunes suitable for celebrating a successful election campaign, the joy of a street party, or just a simple little dance session in your living room. Funk, soul, and disco designed to get your feet moving. Have fun!

Wherein Island Girl shares the amazing music of Marc Bolan/T. Rex. This show was inspired by the release of Angelheaded Hipster, an album of Marc Bolan covers compiled by the late Hal Wilner. There's also some Velvet Goldmine, David Bowie, and a few glam also-rans. Enjoy!

This week is a deep dive into the Paisley Underground, where a handful of bands kept the flame of psychedelia alive and well during the dark days of the 80’s.
It is all about four bands from the germination of this scene, but will include some like-minded thinkers who love this music. This one is dedicated to my dear lost friend Karin Spies, who first introduced me to the Salvation Army.

Dreaming of cancelled 2020 travel plans? Today's show will take you all OVER this world.

"One learns by moving from the familiar to the unfamiliar, and while it might sound incongruous at first, the step from the spirituality of the spirituals to that of the Beethoven of the symphonies or the Bach of the chorales is not as vast as it seems. Nor is the romanticism of a Brahms or Chopin completely unrelated to that of Louis Armstrong."
Ralph Ellison (1955)

Today we listened...

On this episode of CHR Joey and Holly pull their favorite tracks from their mothers' collections. Join us as we listen to what our mommas played!

with your hosts

Joey von Frankenstein and Holly Hooch

xxOOOXxxxxoo

Li Po searched over, under, sideways and down for unexpected covers of classics and lesser-known tunes. Along the way, she also discovered that some of what she thought she knew, she didn't know at all. Join her on this journey of song-making and see what goes around, comes around.

This week CHR plays a variety of vinyl from our 1234 GO Records 50 LPs for 50 dollars bundle and our Goner Records purchase. Great show, don't miss it...it was mostly punk!

with your hosts,

Holly Hooch and Joey von Frankenstein

A quarantine podcast featuring music from women artists I love including The Runaways, Suzy Quatro, Girlschool, The Gits, Bikini Kill, and much more. Take it away, ladies!

Cheap Hooch hands over the controls one more time this weekend to Dusty & Merisa in Oakland, who bring us 2 full hours of nothing but bong hits and doom riffs from their record collections! (there was a tech issue at the start of the show, so we roll about 2 minutes in)

So sit back, relax on this easter Sunday and drop out of life with bong in hand...
Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, Toner Low, and the COMPLETE LP version of Sleep's epic track, DOPESMOKER

With your hosts,
Dusty No Requests, Merisa Black Rose, and Drexel the dawg
Praise Iommi!

Cheap Hooch presents a special late Saturday nite edition live from Oakland! Merisa combs her record collection and treats us to some classic Bay Area and beyond hardcore and thrash hits! Super rare stuff! Comps! Bong loads!

See you in the pit!
