Compilation Mix: 108 Birch Way

 


Compilation Mix: 108 Birch Way

This is my (Nick) original "Birch Way" mix that I made a few years ago. I made it as a physical CD, as gifts to Chris and Glen. The photos above are the CD's outer jacket and inner sleeve. The inner sleeve contains images of the neighborhood our rental house was in (including the 7-11 where we got our smokes and beer). See the post with Shlep's intro for the recent associated live set for more background on 108 Birch Way.

  Stream the Show Download the Songs With your host, Shlep. 1 Bo Diddley - 1963 - Road Runner (live) : You might not associate Bo Diddley with garage rock, but listen to that guitar. Not only that, this song was covered by the likes of The Pretty Things, The Zombies, The Animals and The Who. 2 The Kingsmen - 1963 - Louie Louie: Not many bands were investigated by the FBI for obscenity, but this Seattle band was.. And that’s about as punk as can be. The FBI didn’t catch it, but there is a “fuck” faintly yelled in the recording 3 The Surfaris - 1963 - Wipe Out: This was actually a b-side.

I listen several hours a day and the highlight was always the 2pm to 6pm shift, occupied (until recently) by Mary Lucia (The "Looch") One of the nice things about The Current is that they (unlike most radio stations) let their hosts choose some of their own music. After listening to Mary for a few years, I can always tell when a song is one that she added to the mix. She is a rocker and a 70s kid, like (most of) us. So for example, between songs by Billie Eilish and Father John Misty, she drops in AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" Those are the surprises that made her show so fun to listen to... I decided a few weeks ago to assemble an SMC music set made up of those songs. About a week later, in a sad twist of irony, Mary has decided to leave the station that sh...
