Plastic Magic podcast #243 September 16th, 2012

Hey everybody out there in radioland! Here we go again with another thrill seeking rock and roll adventure! On this show we kind of go down a bit of a different path than normal. Meaning we go a little deeper into the mid to late 70's, 80's and on to present. One of the features of this one is a little history of post MC5 Detroit with: SONIC'S RENDEZVOUS BAND (1978), WAYNE KRAMER AND THE PINK FAIRIES(1978)  and THE RATIONALS (1969). But that's not all. You'll also here the sounds of: DAVID BOWIE (1976), THIN LIZZY (1976), THEE OH SEES (2011), XTC (1984), 68 COMEBACK (1998) THE OBLIVIANS (1997), THE FLAMIN' GROOVIES (1971), THE REAL KIDS (1978), THE FABULOUS POODLES (1978), SONIC YOUTH (1986), X (1983), JACK O. AND THE TENNESSEE TEARJERKERS (2004), THE STENTS (2012 ) and MONDO DRAG (2010) dOWnlOad HERe: podcast #243

Plastic Magic 9-6-09 (Sonic's Rendezvous Band bootleg from 1-14-78)

Among other things on this show, half way through it has a whole bootleg set from SONIC'S RENDEZVOUS BAND. For those who don't know SRB, this Detroit "supergroup" featured Fred "Sonic" Smith (formerly of the MC5) , Scott Ashton (former drummer of the Stooges) Scott Morgan (formerly of The Rationals) and Gary Rasmussen (formerly of The Up). All of which were legendary groups of the 1960's Detroit rock scene. This set was recorded at the Masonic Auditorium in Detroit opening for The Ramones january 14th, 1978. It is kind of  a rough quality recording from a Maxell c-90 cassette. Not many recordings exist from this legendary group only releasing a 45 which contained "Sweet Nothin" and "City Slang" (both included here) I am re posting this show on this site because it got posted the first time on the old KXUA site just before it went down and i don't think it really got the traffic it might have...
