Today we review some parts of the blooming and booming new San Francisco rock’n’roll scene, lead by Ty Segall who has a new album out there called Twins. We also check out the wonderful cajuns from Switzerland, Mama Rosin, who made a new album in New York City with Jon Spencer and also have another ad-hoc project called Les Frères Souchet. Talking about the Francophone stuff, we have a new single for Perpignan’s Jack of Heart and including their potent cover of Gun Club’s For The Love of Ivy recorded live in Cleveland. We close the show with Amy Lavere and Shannon McNally with their new tour rehearsal tapes and with Lucy Kaplansky’s cover of The Beatles tune I’m Looking Through You.
Today’s show is dedicated to Nick Curran who we recently lost after two years of battle with throat cancer.

 Today we have Nick Curran and Personal And The Pizzas for the first time at the Little Lighthouse. Curran is a retro deal, heavily heavily influenced by Little Richard and Gerry Roslie and his new album Reform School Girl is very exciting. Personal and The Pizzas are a funny band from New Jersey. We also have a brand new album for the Drive-By Truckers called The Big To Do. As a speciall little ditty, we have a vinyl reissue of an old Rollerball single, and Rollerball was a first band for Elton Motello, of Jet Boy Jet Girl fame. I was just finishing updating this episode when I heard that Alex Chilton died. Next week, we will have a full blown show dedicated to this magnificent character from the book of rock’n’roll.
