Tune in  Over Under Sideways Down on LuxuriaMusic.com on Wed 4/30, 3- 5 PM PST a random stack of fabulous records from soul to psych, doo-wop to country, plus special guest, guitarist Connie Benson from New Zealand!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a non-themed show… in the past few months I’ve found a great pile of records on my trips to the desert as well as some great purchases from Evil Bay and friends on Facebook… which I will share with you on my sixth episode of “Random Stacks of Records from around my Living Room and Other Places in the House…”

My pals Warren and Connie from New Zealand will drop by, capping off their epic two-and-a-half month visit to the States. Have a listen to Connie’s manic guitar here! 

Join me 2/12 at 3-5 PM PST for a special Over Under Sideways Down dedicated to the Hanna Barbera Records label ’65-’67 during LuxuriaMusic.com’s Sponsorship Drive. I will be giving away an original Five Americans “EVOL Not Love” 7″ record with picture sleeve during my show to a lucky sponsor! For two hours, tune in for a stack of fabulous Hanna Barbera 45s which I’ll be playing in chronological release order. Listen here or check the Over Under Sideways Down Podcast Page if you miss the live broadcast.

Hanna Barbera Records, a/k/a HBR was a short-lived division of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio active between 1964 and 1967. The label’s all-over-the-map roster included not only records based on their cartoon characters, but a healthy dose of  garage rock, soul, psychedelia, country, folk, records licensed from England, the Pacific Northwest, Texas, and artists such as Les Baxter, Louis Prima and Scatman Courthers. Former Buena Vista Records (Disney) mailroom employee Danny Hutton was hired by suggestion of Kim Fowley to HBR’s head A&R person, Larry Goldberg to gauge what was hip with the kids and as a result, Hutton found himself with a career as a vocalist and eventually leader of Three Dog Night. Tom Ayers, who later convinced RCA to sign David Bowie also worked as an A&R person at HBR

Aside from a slew of cartoon oriented LPs and a small stack of LPs aimed at teens, Hanna Barbera Records released well over 70 45s by artists such as The Dimensions, Tidal Waves, The Guilloteens, Five Americans, Chocolate Watch Band (as The Hogs), The New Breed, The W. C. Fields Memorial Electric String Band, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Abbey Tavern Singers, Jean King, Simon Stokes, the afore mentioned Baxeter, Prima and Courthers, and many, many others.

4:00 pm: Derrick Bostrom
Every deejay at Luxuriamusic has their own stash of favorite Fab-four-Related material, and we at “C’mon! Live A Little are no exceptions. In fact it would border on the truly miraculous if you didn’t find significant overlap among our various lists of cover, tributes, oddities and what-have-yous. Anyway, this Saturday,“C!LAL” presents an hour’s worth of some of the stuff we found lying around the house. Here’s hoping you discover something you haven’t already heard a hundred thousand times before.

5:00 pm: Carl Howard
It’s coming up on 5 pm, and you’ve now been drowning in Beatles- and Beatles-adjacent tributes for almost twelve hours. How can Carl Howard and Your One True “Space Patrol!” possibly toss in a lifeline? How about the fire of Soul and
the brimstone of Funk? How about the invigorating throb of the New Wave? That and more sandwiched into an hour, with a totally psychedelic and fully annotated playlist to help you follow along. Plus, tune in during the show to find out how to
download an expanded 90 minute version… for free!

6:00 pm: Gene Sculatti and Gary Schneider- My Dinner with Mr. Moonlight
Open Mynd Excursion host Gary Schneider and Atomic Cocktail producer Gene Sculatti, two guys who experienced the Beatles’ arrival in real time, sit around and talk: about initial impressions upon hearing them on the radio, about the fake Beatles LPs that flooded the stores, various Fifth Beatles, American boys singing about “gulls,” the band’s impact on American culture, reactions to Beatles music as it changed, and meeting (two of) the Beatles. Music will be played, opinions candidly expressed.

7:00 – 9:00 pm: Strike
Join the man whom Ringo calls ‘the 12,874th Beatle’ – the Kitsch Niche’s STRIKE -for TWO hours of Beatle-ish madness! Wacky tributes, horrific covers, awful break-ins, fake mop-tops, funky versions, sing-along instrumentals, barking dogs, and who knows…even a special visit from Sir Paul himself? Nah. It’d never happen. Even so, he guarantees a good time had by all! How do you find the show? Turn left at Greenland! Or, tune in from 7 – 9 pm PST

9:00 pm: Ron Sures
Hey, have you heard of The Beatles? It turns out they were pretty good! HOW good?
Join me, Ron (Sures) for an hour full of “Beatles Day” fun on Luxuriamusic.com, and we’ll find out together! I’ll be “Happy To Show You”! (Get it?) Get ready for some great Beatles covers, plus maybe all of John & Yoko’s “Two Virgins” and “Life With The Lions”?? Okay, not all of it – But maybe a minute or two! All of “Live Peace In Toronto”? Okay, no. But join me! It’ll be fun, I promise!

10:00 pm: TBA

11:00 pm: Howie Pyro
Liars, cheaters, thieves & exploiteers all saw the perfect wallet stuffer in the Fab Four. And early in the game before the names, faces & identities were cemented in stone, the people in hack studios pumping out 20 LPs a day to cash in on any quick fad of the moment for teens had the “three for a dollar” record racks of department stores packed with records by The Bootles, The Bottles, The Bratles, The Liverpools, The Four Fabs, etc etc. loads of 45s were also flying outta small labels by The American Beatles, & songs like The Beatle Bomb & Frankenstein Meets The Beatles were rampant. There were as many anti- Beatle records as faux four records. And there should have been! In the wild, wild, world of Intoxica Radio these records never stopped being released and are way bigger hits than any Beatle record could ever be. Wanna step off a cultural cliff & fall into the inside-out a go go dimension of Howie Pyro’s Intoxica Radio? Then tune in for the LAST hour of LuxuriaMusic’s Beatles Day.
