Episode 7 / British Blues

EPISODE 7
Can Blue Men Sing the Whites? Tonight on The Captain Maniac Show we focus our attention on The British Blues. This music was derived from American blues artists like Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Howlin’ Wolf (all of whom were forgotten in their homeland) and soon developed a distinctive and influential style dominated by electric guitar & which made international stars of several proponents of the genre including The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin. It was Recycled Blues with an English accent! Check out this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_blues

Episode 6 / Rockers

ColinEpisode6

Get out your football helmets and bottles of Extra-Strength Tylenol, because tonight on Episode 6 of the Captain Maniac Show, we’ll be featuring some loud and fast and out of control Rockers: you know, the socially unacceptable kind that will be sure to annoy the neighbours! Prolonged exposure to this form of entertainment may result in an uncontrollable urge to put the pedal to the metal — and there’s no telling what might happen if you hear this in your CAR! On this show (recorded loud to be played louder), there will be absolutely no ballads in any shape or form. You have been warned.

ColinEpisode5

Once again we continue our trip into the past on The Captain Maniac Show! This week’s theme is “High School Madness”, and features never-to-be forgotten garage band tunes that I listened to in the daze of my youth! With a couple of notable exceptions, every single one of these songs was given maximum rotation on the radio and continuous airplay when I was a legal teenager — yes, even “Jack of Diamonds” by the Daily Flash! Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear as we embark on a journey to the center of your mind (offer not good after curfew in Sector R).

EPISODE 18 / SURF PARTY

ColinEpisode18

BeachPartyMIXCLOUD

Summer’s here and the time is right for some surfin’ toons on our Annual Surf Party on The Captain Maniac Show! Tonight we present a small sample of Surf Music’s Greatest Hits, as well as some Surf Revival from the 90s. Beach Boys? Check! Jan and Dean? Check! Dick Dale? Oh YEAH! Throw the surf boards in the back of the woody, bring some tacos and beer, and let’s head on down to Malibu Beach for some California Sun! (already in progress). Life’s a beach: Jimi Hendrix told us in “Third Stone From the Sun” that we’d never hear surf music again — but it continues to be played in the future, hangin’ ten like there’s no tomorrow. Tune in for proof that there IS a cure for the Summertime Blues!

Episode 4 / My Misguided Youth

xColinEpisode4
Yet another rockin’ episode of the Captain Maniac Show, live and impersonal from The Great White North… rock and roll from a Canadian perspective! Tonight our feature presentation is “My Misguided Youth”, a journey back in time to the days when most of my music collection was on 8-track tapes and long-playing records (today known as “vinyl”) Here are some tunes that I was listening to back in the wild and woolly 70s, and yes the emphasis is on “guitar rock” — if the songs didn’t have a loud guitar solo, I would consider them not worthy of my auditory nerves. You certainly won’t hear some of these songs on your local “classic rock” radio station; they can ONLY be found on the Internet. So join us for an ancient form of music not heard on the radio any more: rock and roll! By the way, “Psycho Daisies” by the Yardbirds (of 1966 vintage) found its way on to this program, mainly because I wanted to hear it, OK?
