Never play Lady of Spain again!



Greetings all. Thank you for tuning in to episode three of The Great Banana Hoax, now also known as Lighting the Lamp. A thousand thank yous to Golden Bears' forward Ben Kilgour for dropping by the station to yak hockey. Two things I learned: there ARE pro hockey teams in Louisiana, and Petr Klima is a much better player than I give him credit for. Also, props to my co-host Jordan for the Tony Hand feature. Had the hockey gods allowed Hand to don the copper and blue, who knows what the legacy of the Oil would be. Am I sensing a replacement for the Silver Fox? Not likely, but a man can dream...

Other topics discussed this week included Darren McCarty starring in a Wrestler-style film titled The Grinder (insert devil horns and nu-metal guitar riff) and on-ice hair farmers of the early 90s (re: Todd Gill). We also had fun with an online Slapshot soundboard and hockey cards from the O Pee Chee 91-92 complete set.

This week's selection of music had a noticeable garage rock flavour. Like we said, psychedelia spans the genres. Again, in no particular order:

1. Cream - "Passing the Time" - Wheels of Fire
2. The Gories - "There Before the Grace of God Go I" - Outta Here
3. Transylvania 500 - "Schlockey Night in Transylvania" - Rock and Roll Party
4. Black Sabbath - "Solitude" - Master of Reality
5. The Five Canadians - "Writing on the Wall - Pebbles Vol. 5
5. The Fe Fi Four Plus 2 - "I Wanna Come Back" - Pebbles Vol. 5
6. Firebirds/31 Flavours - "Free Fuzz", "Free Drum" - Overdose of Heavy Psych
7. Moody Blues - "Departure/Ride my See-Saw" - In Search of the Lost Chord
8. Bubble Puppy - "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" - A Gathering of Promises
9. The Misunderstood - "Children of the Sun" - Before the Dream Faded
10. The Brogues - "I Ain't No Miracle Worker" - Nuggets Vol. 2
11. Love - "7 and 7 is" - Nuggets Vol. 2
12. The Pretty Things - "Defecting Grey" - S.F. Sorrow
