Episode 39 / Metal Shop

EPISODE 39

Metal nostalgia? Is such a thing possible? Well, it certainly IS on the Captain Maniac Show! We welcome hair farmers from all over the world to two hours of metal mayhem on the first of a continuing series entitled “Metal Shop”. This week we’ll be rocking with 80s metal mania (including The New Wave of British Heavy Metal), but further shows will include more current heavy metal thunder as well as some choice flashbacks. For now, though, settle back with your favourite beverage and reminisce with the soothing sounds of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Mötorhead, Iron Maiden – and even a heavy metal tune from Jimi Hendrix! “Rainbow, Strobo, they’re all going under the thunder of Manitoba…”

Episode 38 / Sparkling Apple

EPISODE 38 Tonight we’re doing something completely unprecedented in the history of The Captain Maniac Show: we’re devoting the entire program to just ONE band! However, this is no ordinary musical outfit — on the contrary, Episode 38 is all about a band from my misguided youth, namely Sparkling Apple, with whom I played drums for over 40 years. Nearly all lineups of this group are represented here — Rocky Rockamoto to Stringbean to Buzz Constantly to Kevin Stuart Swain — in a collection of bootlegs, live recordings and board tapes not found anywhere else in the known universe. Drunk rock — you have to be drunk to play it and drunk to appreciate it!

Episode 37 / Son of Psychedelic Oldies

EPISODE 37

It’s all too beautiful. We’re flyin’ high on a fantastic voyage as it’s time once again for a third chapter in our never-ending psychedelic saga — tonight’s journey to the center of your mind is titled “Son of Psychedelic Oldies”! We get under way with my hero, Jimi Hendrix… in a tune not called Golden Rose, as the lyrics suggest, but with the rather evocative title of “One Rainy Wish”. And in light of the recent horrific violence throughout the world, one of tonight’s tunes is especially appropriate:

“Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy”

Before you slip into unconsciousness…
