Now, listen in... WELCOME TO THE ER on PIRATE CAT RADIO means Eclectic and Random (see wot we done). Blancmange to Jam; Can to Pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs, Silver Apples to Stranglers - and that’s just the pre-match warm up in the mess kitchen before the show. WELCOME TO THE ER is curated by THE COLONEL (exiled to The American Colonies all the way from that there London, in jolly old England) who is not only a keen observer of quirksome tunes but also a TWaT (Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Thursdays at 900 hours) on PIRATE CAT RADIO - 92.9fm LOS GATOS California, 101.9fm SANTA CRUZ California on your wireless sets and KPCR.org on the inter web. So, pull up your army bergen, put on a brew and boil up some rations, coz this will be a special force attack on your lug holes. That is all...

Seemingly unintentionally, THE COLONEL played quite solemn stuff today which must say more about his mood right now. Bjork with funerial drones, Roxy Music lamenting with Eno, Stiff Little Fingers seemingly celebrating a hidden bomb and Iggy Pop sounding like he's considering seeing the next world very soon. Not even Herb Albert could cheer things up. But if you was wanting 'Eclectic & Random' - look no further...
...Quirksome, influential Mancs The Fall kicked off proceedings today followed by bang up to date Irish slammers Fontaines. We had other up and coming muses including Young Fathers, Ponzi, Warmduscher and Fat White Family too.
If there was a tin which contained today's music it would be labelled "Eclectic and Random". It's always good to start with Ghostpoet but THE COLONEL continued on the ER flow with some Groovy Train, Nightmares on Wax, Smoke City, John Cooper Clark and a smidge of Genesis...
Not sure how it happened but everything seems from that damp rock over the pond today. I'm talking about Great Britain not Hawaii you doughbag, you know, where all the good music comes from. THE COLONEL could have said that Welcome to the ER - was English and Random today, but for a couple of imposters from Welsh Wales. BC Camplight are actually American as Brian is from USA but he plies his trade in London which has taugh...
THE COLONEL had a BRITISH guest today from the Deathstar now living here in The Colonies - Captain Martin Gooch DSO and barred from many London Soho hostelries. We discussed Ibiza where we served together in The 24/7th Light infantry unit of All-Nighters, mused over being separated by a common language here in 'Merica, what we've loved about Californ-I-A so far and Captain Gooch's burgeoning Hollywood Film Director career....
Welcome to the ER: Eggy and Random today with the arrival of Easter coming soon, well second coming soon. The COLONELresurrected some difficult cheese, jazz and electro biscuits; kicking off with a tribute to one of the GOAT movies - School for Scoundrels - suggested by a subordinate of his. We got some Easter ditties in - one by Bunny and another by Bing. Eggsellent, Eggstatic, Eggclectic nuggets and that's quite enough t...
Blasting off with the theme to Long Good Friday - the first London geezah movie made in 1980 - we stayed with great electro which made this 1 hour "Electro & Random". The Colonel was feeling dark and moody today coz they'd run out of sherry at the Officer's mess last night so it was grizzly electro from Ben Frost to Caribou and lighter stuff in between from Can, Space Lady and Silver Apples bringing up the rear from th...
More "Eccentric and Random" than "Eclectic" today with The Colonel and fellow Brit quirky croonster Robert Wyatt celebrating Pigs, Welsh DJ Don Leisure loving a Egg Yolk Bun (who doesnt) and Jesus lookalike Eden Ahbez being wonderfully bonkers...
ECLECTIC and RANDOM: Lashings of beautiful eccentricity was on display today from THE COLONEL - from Brit "shambolic psyche-folk" croonster Richard Dawson and Jock poet Ivor Cutler to the incredibly overlooked Ameddican Silver Apples and Firebird; it's a plethora of nutty sounds to feast your lug holes on...
ECLECTIC & RANDOM: Certainly a dollop of Random-arge today with delectable curiosities such as dirty little scamp Ennio Morricone with his porn collection, eccentric Electro pioneers - Anna Peacock and Mort Garson along with the outstanding and overlooked Betty Davies (which is also the name of my Jackapoo)...
ECLECTIC & RANDOM: THE COLONEL brings you 50s Inkspots, 60s James Brooker, 70s CAN and Barbera Dane (giving off some proper "squeal like a pig" vibes) some 80s two-toning Specials, giving Ep3 a veritable smorgasbord of good tunes from betwixt the decades...
ECLECTIC and RANDOM: Thats this show in spades. It might be April 1st but The Colonel is no fool...
Very much appropriate on this Day of tomfoolery and japes as it is THE COLONEL’s very first day. From English national treasure John Cooper Clark, Scottish wordsmith Ivor Cutler (who is not Gerard Butler's Dad - and if you fell for that well, it's April 1st) and Cumbrian shed lover Richard Dawson to some Spitfires, 'Big ...
I'm a TWaT (Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday) so today is my Friday - see you in The Barrel in LG. WE had Bauhaus kicking up rough and the brilliant 60s electro sounds of Can and Bruce Haak. There was a smidgin of Northern Soul and Ghospoet not swearing for. change...
ECLECTIC & RANDOM; Tunes from THE COLONEL featuring US oddballs (in a good way) The Space Lady, Annette Peacock and Eden Ahbez plus Quirky Brit offerings in the guise of Jake Thackery and The Fall...
