Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:08:43 PM
So far this is a dirty show. Harry and all.
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:09:31 PM
I can dig it

Earth! More dirt!

Esoterica (host) 5:11:21 PM
what are your glam faves!?
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:12:00 PM
I had a glam friend back in the day, and that is a tough call for me.
Esoterica (host) 5:12:49 PM
sweet!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:13:40 PM
20th Century Boy!!
Mike Constantine 5:13:53 PM

I still LOVE the Girlschool version but this is almost as good ;-)

Mike Constantine 5:15:28 PM

Glam was so weird, but my fave glam boy producer is definitely Todd Rudgrin.
Mike Constantine 5:16:03 PM
Weirdly wonderfful
Randy Marthins 5:16:28 PM
Let the record show that one of the first LPs I bought from Columbia House was "Desolation Boulevard" by SWEET - I think I still owe those people money, as reflected in my Credit score
Esoterica (host) 5:17:13 PM
I ge that, kerroffle...
Esoterica (host) 5:17:22 PM
sweet! yes!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:18:38 PM
Randy, I bought that one too, in high school, with my allowance money
Randy Marthins 5:18:41 PM
I believe the cover band that Billie Joe Armstrong puts together, The CoverUps, does "Fox On The Run"
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:19:21 PM
I think Commie Francis once played a German-language cover of "Fox On The Run"
Randy Marthins 5:19:30 PM
AND ... I've heard that, plus l "Love Is Like Oxygen" is ShopRite
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:20:28 PM
@Esoterica, and woohoo for this being Part 1!! :-DD
G Jax 5:20:28 PM
Sweet… Yeah. The song my third grade teacher couldn't play on rainy days because us kids went bonkers bouncing all over the room. Ballroom blitzed
Esoterica (host) 5:21:21 PM
haha right
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:21:37 PM
@G Jax, it's so fucking corny I just love it.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:22:38 PM
@G Jax, that's a riot
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:23:33 PM
"Boy, I wanna warn ya It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:23:37 PM
Omg if I heard a Sweet song in any store in 2025, I'd probably go bonkers and bounce all over the store
G Jax 5:24:21 PM
Yeah, I always tell some version of that story every time a sweet song is played. But yeah, it's the total truth. The teacher couldn't play it. Something about the sound of a third graders crazy. I think Steve Priest Voice.
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:25:08 PM
Teachers have issues too. That's for sure.
Randy Marthins 5:25:15 PM
I recently read something about that song and it's a real Rashomon situation where Andy Scott, Steve Priest, Mike Chapman & Nicky Chinn all have different versions of the Origin Story
Esoterica (host) 5:25:26 PM
wow, true true
G Jax 5:26:54 PM
The funny thing is in the 80s in the cut out been at Wawa sound I found a cassette of desolation Boulevard. I actually never owned the record, but I had it then. And we were all part of that 80s sort of clammy heavy metal South Jersey scene but somehow a lot of people I was around didn't know about Sweet. Or they had just forgotten. Anyway, we played that tape to death.
G Jax 5:27:31 PM
Not Wawa sound.., Wall To Wall Sound jeez
G Jax 5:28:14 PM
And not clammy...GLAMMY
Esoterica (host) 5:28:47 PM
love that album
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:28:50 PM
Sooo.... Wawa to Wawa?
Esoterica (host) 5:29:07 PM
I was admittedly confused by Wawa Sound - get your tunes and hoagies
Mike Constantine 5:29:23 PM
Is that a Bowie album?
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:29:39 PM
Snipe Mike! lol
G Jax 5:30:31 PM
I never ever never, never never ever ever never never go into Wawa unless I need to use the bathroom. I hate Wawa.
Mike Constantine 5:31:26 PM
I have one behind my house....it has saved my ass a few times
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:31:34 PM
The Wawa's in Philly are superior me thinks.
G Jax 5:31:34 PM
But wall to wall sound back in the day that cassette cut out bin I bought all kinds of good shit there
G Jax 5:32:42 PM
yeah, it's me. Guess the world on the Wawa thing. That's cool.
Mike Constantine 5:33:01 PM
From the Sterile Cuckoo soundtrack
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:33:45 PM
Awesome Liza vehicle!
Mike Constantine 5:34:14 PM
Indeed
G Jax 5:34:23 PM
That makes no sense at all geez. I said me against the world. Shit I'll just shut up and listen.
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:34:50 PM
Who the fuck knows about that movie but you and some dork?
Mike Constantine 5:35:17 PM
Right?????????????
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:35:27 PM
lol
Mike Constantine 5:36:44 PM
Two dorks I suspect
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:37:46 PM
In it's defense, they were making great glam music at the time that movie came out. Sooo... All good there.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:37:48 PM
Oh foo I missed Suzi Quatro :-((
Esoterica (host) 5:38:13 PM

Suzi Quatro was the fist thing that got my attention in glam land thanks to my glam buddy's love of her. :)
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:39:44 PM
#1 Merry Xmas Slade
Esoterica (host) 5:39:52 PM
yes!!
Randy Marthins 5:40:08 PM
The "Suzi Q" doc was really good
Mike Constantine 5:40:24 PM
My first was T Rex with Electric Warrior
Esoterica (host) 5:40:33 PM
so goood
Esoterica (host) 5:40:48 PM
mine might be bowie and Elton
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:40:49 PM
Slade is zone for sure.
Randy Marthins 5:41:18 PM
Suzi Quattro launched many people's loves of girl bass players
Esoterica (host) 5:41:55 PM
yeah she was badass
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:41:59 PM
Even borrowed their chords for this song.
John Coffey 5:42:20 PM
My first ESO Glam show! Little Willie by Sweet, the first glam I heard. FM radio was still a few years away.
Esoterica (host) 5:42:27 PM
hey John!
Mike Constantine 5:42:38 PM
Electric Warrior sure sounded fresh in 71
Esoterica (host) 5:42:40 PM
Love that song
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:42:43 PM
In 1973-1974 I was in Italy listening after sundown to Radio Luxembourg broadcasting the hot English sounds. So I first learned of Suzi Quatro, Slade, Sweet, etc etc etc
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:43:24 PM
Hey John! I think Little Willy was the first glam song I heard, a few months before I started listening to Radio Luxembourg
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:44:11 PM
@Esoterica Oh please play Suzi Quatro again if you can
Mike Constantine 5:44:28 PM
73 was first year of college and working at Burger King...Little Willie was in heavy rotation
Esoterica (host) 5:44:45 PM
amazing, rob
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:45:03 PM
DJ Tim has that excellent Quatro thumbnail and that triggers me for sure.
Esoterica (host) 5:45:07 PM
will do! rob I was saying amazing tho to radio luxembourg
Esoterica (host) 5:45:21 PM
nice K!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:46:18 PM
@Esoterica, Radio Luxembourg was a pivotal experience/change for me. I was so sad to move back to the States
Esoterica (host) 5:47:20 PM
aww I love your stories of that time
G Jax 5:48:09 PM
I like how happy days somehow wedged Suzy's leather pants and shag haircut into "50s" America
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:48:18 PM
Did glam have a sound or did sound have a glam?
Mike Constantine 5:48:59 PM
Hmmmmmmm
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:49:35 PM
I ask the tough questions when I get around to it.
G Jax 5:50:30 PM
sound had a glam. Because in the 80s glam was around, but didn't sound like it did
G Jax 5:51:31 PM
It's chicken and egg kind of shit but if I had to choose ..
Space Cowboy 5:51:33 PM
Don't forget sweet!
Mike Constantine 5:52:01 PM
Someone has to ask them
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:52:05 PM
But what the fuck was Rod Stewart then?
Esoterica (host) 5:52:40 PM
yeah he was a bit glam rod
G Jax 5:52:41 PM
I don't think of Rod as glam.
Randy Marthins 5:52:51 PM
Little Willy was on one of the K-Tel compilations I got for Xmas
Randy Marthins 5:53:40 PM
Rod Stewart was Jeff Beck's singer - and Jeff Beck was whatever he wanted to be
G Jax 5:53:46 PM
Haircuts alone don't make you glam. Rod was awesome though back in those days. I think he was like one of the best if not the best front man ever in the days when he was rocking
Esoterica (host) 5:54:13 PM
great hair lol
Esoterica (host) 5:54:20 PM
the faces
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:54:25 PM
Faces don't count. LOL
Randy Marthins 5:54:27 PM
Haircuts make you glam as much as they make you Punk: 0%
Francis 5:54:31 PM
The most beaatles sounding Bowie song
Esoterica (host) 5:54:42 PM

Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:54:44 PM
The Band Faces, that is.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:54:56 PM
Oh, K-Tel comps! I have 2 or 3 British K-Tel compilations from 1973 & 1974!
Esoterica (host) 5:55:04 PM
but I do love the faces
G Jax 5:55:13 PM
But hey, we're categorizing. What's clam what's not what punk was not whatever. It's all rock 'n' roll to me.
Esoterica (host) 5:55:16 PM
K-Tel!
G Jax 5:55:33 PM
This fucking thing will not recognize the word glam. It keeps saying clam.
Esoterica (host) 5:56:01 PM

Francis 5:56:07 PM

Randy Marthins 5:56:11 PM

Esoterica (host) 5:57:55 PM
little did I know it wasn't produced in the swamps I Louisiana but in NYC lol but still great
G Jax 5:58:20 PM
Ha those K-rel commercials. I distinctly remember the first time I ever heard ELO evil woman was a cat commercial. But it wasn't ELO it was some other version by God knows who. The thing about it is I thought it sounded so cool and when I heard the ELO version I was like this is lame. Of course I'm just going by the six second clip I heard in the commercial who knows of the whole song was good
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:58:26 PM
It was top 10 in the UK in 1973-1974
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 5:58:28 PM

If only the basement bands had access to good recording gear back in the day. Things would be a bit different me thinks.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:06:37 PM
@John Coffey I don't know that Godley Creme song. I never bought any of their records. But I do have the first 3 10cc albums
John Coffey 6:07:11 PM
@RobMD Godley Creme song is called Get Well Soon.
Esoterica (host) 6:07:22 PM
Idk godly creme either
G Jax 6:08:23 PM
Cry. That was a big, godly cream song, wasn't it?
G Jax 6:08:43 PM
They were more known in the 80s is video guys. On MTV.
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 6:08:45 PM
This is Rocky Horror level.
John Coffey 6:09:02 PM
@Eso, surely you know G/C 1985 hit Cry. Original members of 10cc.
Esoterica (host) 6:09:24 PM
oh yes that is right, John! I do! ha
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:09:31 PM
G Jax yes. And also Joey's Camel, which received too much airplay imo on WHFS down here in DC (and the Overnight Express show midnight to 6 am Fri & Sat nights on WAMU until 1983)
Randy Marthins 6:09:33 PM
@kerrofle "If only the basement bands had access to good recording gear back in the day. Things would be a bit different me thinks. " I know they would be for me --- at least MY daughter isn't trying to track down a 40 year-old demo like the girl from Cherry Hill who's looking for her moms punk band tape
G Jax 6:11:06 PM
Wow, don't know Joey's camel. Actually even cry didn't get any AirPlay in Philly radio.
G Jax 6:11:33 PM
But it was all over MTV all the time. And I know they were directors for other videos. Godly and Creme
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 6:12:52 PM
@Randy Marthins, I watched 4 tack reel to real tracks get overwritten to my horror by my band. I comes down to how much money we had for tapes. ARG!
Randy Marthins 6:12:54 PM
@john Coffey "the Godley Creme song Radio Luxembourg." I made a portfolio piece of a CD package for 'Radio Borneo: The Best Jazz in The Jungle' of an orangutan playing bass
Randy Marthins 6:14:26 PM
My cousin's stepdad was a record producer, but could he get us a TEAC 4-track? Nope LOL
G Jax 6:15:26 PM
I get Luxembourg mixed up with Lichtenstein.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:15:28 PM
My wife just mentioned "Snack Attack" by Godley & Creme which is on the same album (Ismism) as Joey's Camel and also imo was overplayed on the Overnight Express show and on WHFS
Esoterica (host) 6:15:37 PM
lol randy - a bridge too far I guess
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:16:53 PM
@GJax, Lichtenstein's 2009 album "Survival Strategies In A Modern World" is a pretty good indiepop type of record ... just to mix you up some more ;-)
Randy Marthins 6:17:29 PM
I wish I'd paid more attention to saving the notebooks of LYRICS to the songs I wrote along the way
G Jax 6:17:50 PM
I knew that.
G Jax 6:19:10 PM

I'm pretty sure I knew about Velvet Goldmine the movie when it was released but maybe I was way too into English and Scandinavian folk as well as intense birding that year??
dan Cochrane 7:44:52 PM
Bless beasts would be great double feature with Billy Jack. Another Earnest anti violence, but very violent, classic.
Marcus Haupt 7:45:06 PM
I saw Velvet Goldmine in the theatre. Supposed to be the David Bowie story
Kerrofflesburgsteinski 7:47:13 PM
Have not seen this movie. Not sure I want the definition compared to my own interpretation.

Billy Jack is another matter.
