The first part of the show today is a loving tribute to Fred Cole, the leader of Dead Moon, a true embodiment of rock’n’roll independence, who passed away on November 9 after losing a battle with cancer. Then we also introduce the new records for Legendary Shack Shakers, Cotton Mather and Samantha Fish, who rejoined forces with Luther Dickinson for her new album, already second this year. We introduce Proto Idiot from Manchester UK, for the first time at The Little Lighthouse. In honor of Fred Cole, today’s show is mixed mono.

Today we feature Fred Cole, legendary Oregon rocker who’s been around since the Nuggets days. Of course, his best known band is Dead Moon, but he was also in The Lollipop Shoppe, Zipper and The Rats. His newest band is the great Pierced Arrows, which I was lucky enough to see live on a stormy winter night last weekend here in Cleveland. Pierced Arrows have a brand new second album out called Descending Shadows. We also introduce the German band Locas In Love obviously named after the Love and Rockets comic book episodes involving Maggie and Hopey. They appeared on the new Walkabouts tribute called Got No Chains. The Hotrats are the two dudes from Supergrass, one of the most annoying nineties English bands. Still, Hotrats are not that bad at all and we hear their interesting treatment of Beastie Boys original You Gotta Fight…. Things turn around! Home Sweet Home is another project by Luther Dickinson and it again, it’s done in the spirit of Luther’s father Jim. Also, we hear a new mp3 by Abby Travis recorded specially for the new Dave Markey’s movie The Reinactors.

Here we are at the new episode of The Little Lighthouse. Next three Thursdays will be a short break for The Little Lighthouse as I’m leaving for a small trip. We will pick up where we left in June. But, let’s see what we have today. Toady we introduce The Blackwater Fever, a new drum and guitar duet from Australia. We have a new Thee Oh Sees 45 and The Rats reissue. The Rats is an early eighties band for Fred and Toody Cole of Dead Moon. Also, check out an excellent 60s Yugo-beat from Bis-Bez! We have a new band Evil Cowards for Tyler Spencer of Electric Six and Dirty Shame. I saw Electric Six again, and they are still 100% fun. I also saw Mike Watt and his Missingmen playing live at The Grog Shop. It was a very playful show that saw Watt in an excellent mood. They played a lot of classic punk songs, several of which we revisit in this show in honor of old Watt. He has just recorded the new opera with Tony Maimone in New York City and it will hopefully come out very soon.
