Unapologetically the show is all just links this week. Every song title links the one previous. Usually I don’t bother to do that for the whole show!

Hey man, I was THERE man. And this is how I remember it. Okay, maybe I’m leaving out the grungier, scarier aspect of the sixties.

Brace yourself – it’s gonna be a sappy ride. Dark Meat presents love songs, nothing but love songs. And a lot of them are completely unironic. You know what? It’s 100 degrees outside.

How I wish I was at the beach! Then again, the office chair I use when I’m recording the show probably wouldn’t take to the sand very well. Just as well. I tried to steer the show into some kind of transgression thing but it wound up at the shoreline, making it a kind of continuation from the last show which was about water. Hmmmm! Well, enjoy summer while it lasts. Maybe I should do a back-to-school show soon… * Stan Ridgway – The Big Heat – The Big Heat * Johnny Cash – Desperado - * Tin Machine – Video Crime – Tin Machine * TV Theme Players – Hawaiian Eye – TV Theme Songs Of The Past * Kevin Ayers – Caribbean Moon – Bananamour * Papas Fritas – Rolling In the Sand – Helioself * Steely Dan – Blues Beach – Everything Must Go * Brian Wilson – Surfs Up – Smile * Wink Martindale – Beyond The Sunset – Deck Of Cards The show is sponsored today by iPrint Technologies!
