Episode 184 / Rocketship Rock

Rockin’ and boppin’ in outer space! This week our show’s focus is definitely rockabilly, but for this episode we bring you some rocket rock & roll as hep cats blast off into space with some shakin’ beyond the stars. Not only does every song have an outer space theme, but every song also is from an era when rockabilly wildmen were in orbit! Borrowing from the ancient Sun Ra album of the same name, we call this episode “Rocketship Rock”.

In addition, we humbly announce the fact that the Captain Maniac Show is now available on iTunes courtesy of Chill Lover Radio. Dig us at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-captain-maniac-show-ep-183/id797512873?i=1000395262552&mt=2!

Episode 181 / Louder and Prouder

A while ago, we did a show called “Loud and Proud”, so for your approval, we submit a supplementary volume called “Louder and Prouder”, another chapter from our treasure trove of 70s mayhem! The first song in tonight’s episode is from the old album “Geef Voor New Wave”, and although Tom Petty couldn’t be further removed from New Wave, unfortunately that was the category that the record companies considered him to be.
