Greetings to all my fans, friends and associates on ShrimperZone, old and new - and those yet to be discovered.

I thought that it might help your ease of reference to know what great things I'm up to if I plonked the relevant information here on this new 'Me, Myself and I' thread.

It's my great pleasure to inform you that I've got a new show on the radio. It's called 'Saturday Night Noxious Society' and it's on Penwith Radio > http://penwithradio.co.uk/shows/noxious/ < on Saturday nights just after 6 going on (and on and on) until just before 8. It's quite good timing as I can go straight from the studio after the show to the plethora of bars nearby.

And on this week's show we've got a featured album as it's Andy Warhol's birthday, ie. Lou Reed and John Cale's 'Songs For 'Drella', their farewell tribute to their erstwhile collaborator from the early Velvets days at The Factory.

We've also got a fair sprinkling of eclectic music from yesteryear and some fairly recent offerings from a couple of West Cornwall's innovative bands. We hope that you can join us on 'Saturday Night Noxious Society' - you may even have your fifteen seconds of fame should you text in while the show's on, broadcasting protocols permitting.

I'll be letting the listeners know about any good Southend results too just so they keep up with the important events going on beyond The Tamar.

Thanks for your support, especially to Berrichonne Tone, for giving me this great idea.
 
Good luck in your new venture Rob and keep spreading the word of the greatest football team in the world:thumbsup:

Looking forward to all the great posts coming our way,keep it retro spooner.
All under one roof, Tony! I wouldn't have been able to get this terrific idea without your post on the 'What Are Listening To Now?' thread last week, And I make that 10/10 to you! :thumbsup:

I had an interesting exchange with some young folk this afternoon. I was sitting in a bar (strangely) just off PZ prom and I saw them looking over at me, with them laughing, then chatting and looking over at me again, smiling. I winked back at them just to show them I knew. They asked me what the T-shirt was all about. It's this pic of Wilko with his lyrics "A thousand highways" (above the pic) and "you don't live twice" (just underneath it). They're lyrics from his great song 'Paradise' which I've loved for many a year. When I told them, they asked who he is. I explained. They didn't know who he is. It was when I told them that he'd beaten cancer that they seemed to get it. I said that I got it done a few years ago in tribute to him and they suggested that I knew that he'd survive. I said "No. It's one life, make the most of it." They seemed to understand but you can never be sure.

On August 6, 1928, Andy Warhol was born. This week&#8217;s &#8216;Saturday Night Noxious Society&#8217;, with special guest presenter (the legendary) Ralph Randell, was originally broadcast live on Penwith Radio and featured Lou Reed and John Cale&#8217;s tribute album to Andy Warhol, &#8216;Songs For Drella&#8217;, which was released in 1990.

We also remembered Willy De Ville, who died on this day in 2009, with a couple of Mink De Ville tracks and we celebrated anniversaries in the careers of Rod Stewart and The Small Faces with two of their great records from yesteryear.

This week&#8217;s featured bands from the West Cornwall music scene were Night Motor and Small Town Doggers - quite a contrast &#8211; with fine tracks from their most recent recorded output.

Also on the show: Sparks, The Foundations, David Bowie, Ronnie Lane & Slim Chance, The Mighty Wah!, Dr. Feelgood, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions and a truly rare thing indeed, ie. Rob Noxious honouring a listener's request - for a Buzzcocks track from way back when.
 
On August 13, 1971, John Lennon flew from Heathrow to New York City and never came back to the UK.

On the 45[SUP]th[/SUP] anniversary of John&#8217;s departure to NYC, we played some music from the times that John and Yoko Ono lived there as well as tracks that have a strong association with New York >

Immediate Pleasures.jpg

Last night's show, 'Immediate Pleasures', celebrating the Immediate label fifty-one years to the day that its first record, &#8216;Hang On Sloopy&#8217; by The McCoys, was released.

https://www.mixcloud.com/rob-spooner/saturday-night-noxious-society-20816-immediate-pleasures/

I was delighted to be joined by the fab and groovy Groove-Meister, Ralph Randell, who appears by kind permission of his great show, &#8216;The Deep&#8217;.

We also celebrated the birthdays of Robert Plant, Pete Kleinow, Isaac Hayes, Ralf Hutter and Phil Lynott on this day, along with that of Joe Strummer ahead of his birthday today.

Our two featured Cornish-based artists were the fine singer-songwriters Louella Jade Eke and Ben Thorpe who are both playing in the glorious region of Penwith later this week.

And please check out the new 'dodgy dedication' slot - this week's lucky recipient was a Mr Simon Mansell of Penzance, for reasons that only he can admit to.

We thoroughly enjoyed presenting &#8216;Immediate Pleasures&#8217; and we hope that you enjoy it too.
