W,G,O,D, # 83 - 9/9/99 - PUB ROCK COVER SONGS!!

The pub rock series of episodes stopped at #79. Shows 80,81,and 82 ,were standard programming,but on this episode ,#83 ,I brought back the U.K. punks ,for another go ,this time doing cover versions of some of their favorite/least favorite songs ,from bands that came before them. A lot of punks covered the beatles for some reason ,and I think the drunken,live, Sham 69 version of "With A Little Help From My Friends",is tops ,on that list ,and also the Damned with ,"Help" (Thanks Captain!) .There is a set of covers by some of the Sluggisha Tapes stable , with only a Fall cover (By Ephedrine Symphony) taking up with the U.K. versions ,the rest are ,well look below and read the tracklist! Cool collage above, pictures many of the bands featured in the pub rock series!

W.G.O.D. #74 - July 23 ,1999

This broadcast was the starting episode for the W.G.O.D. Pub Rock series. Although this whole show is not "pub rock" ,proper ,I did get the idea for the series on this broadcast.There are a series of around a half dozen or more shows ,featuring all U.K. punk ,dub ,and reggae ,from the glory years of 1975-1980 ,although some of the songs do not quite meet the criteria (including a Sluggisha set) ,I was trying to create the atmosphere of drinking in a U.K. pub ,complete with pints of Guinness and punk rock ,on every show in the series. I will be posting the rest of these shows ,soon. Like I said ,this recording does'nt start out as "pub rock" ,but soon melds into it. Enjoy a beer with this music ,and Oi!!
