Small, Hot, Fast & D.O.A.

No.92, aired October 13, 2010.

This show was a primer for the D.O.A. show at the Republik on Thursday night. Their set included To Hell And Back, World War 3, R.C.M.P., The Enemy, This Machine Kills Fascists/Human Bomb, That’s Why I’m An Athiest, I Live In A Car, Waiting For You, Fucked Up Stevie, War (Edwin Starr), The Prisoner, Disco Sucks, Fuck You, The Hockey Song (Stompin Tom Conners), and probably a couple of others that I can’t remember now.

In this episode we continued the interplanetary voyage by visiting Mercury – the first six tracks in Part 2 all pay tribute to the swift & small in some way. As Sun Ra & John Coltrane never (to my knowledge) visited Mercury, the space theme was augmented with three tracks from Ornette Coleman’s Science Fiction and Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson’s Space Guitar.
