Jurassic Rock

25/01/2025

Aaaaahhhh - regrettably, a double-booking has occurred and there was a gentleman already physically sitting in for the 2 o'clock slot, so no extra-curricular "Jurassic Rock" after all I'm afraid.

I mean....I could've taken him out no probs, but I'm a lover, not a fighter (one's attitude is so important in these matters).

So, back to the regularly-scheduled "3rd February, 8-10" slot then. I'm off shopping! x

How’s about another pop-up, weekend, afternoon rock show?

It's coming, this Saturday between 14:00-16:00 on Phonic FM...another extra-curricular dose of “Jurassic Rock” with yours truly; playing only the very best in deep '60's, '70's and (some) '80's hard, heavy, psych, prog and alt ROCK!....

Finally!....A very Happy New Year to you, Jurassic Rockers (I know there are one or two of you out there somewhere).

I was in Bath - not "the" Bath - for New Year, where I found out that I'm not really much of a fan of modern remixes of soul/ funk classics, like "Machine Gun" by The Commodores for example, being stretched out to breaking point - 8 minutes FFS (though a great time was ultimately had by all. Soulful House to the rescue!) - and much prefer the originals. Consequently, the 30th December show did not happen. However, I am now very much on (one) for tomorrow night for the first "Jurassic Rock" of 2025...or whatever year it is.

Just collating a few ideas now...all I've got in terms of concepts is a "dream" sequence - occurring for no particular reason, though I go have extremely weird dreams rather regularly - but who needs conceptual links anyway? All I can definitely state is there are some cracking tunes, as ever!

So, people of the 21st Century, please feel free to join me between 8-10 pm tomorrow (06.01.25) night, even though there are some who ain't never seen a rock and roller. Gremlins and antiquated equipment permitting. No Bay City Rollers, just solar power. ;) xx

How’s about a Saturday afternoon rock show? Just like on Radio One in the Seventies? “Fluff” Freeman first wasn’t it? He played the whole of side one of “Don’t Look Back” by Boston when it came out – I taped that & played it to death (still my fave side of Boston music). Then…somebody else, then David Hepworth (wa**er, but subsequently revealed as decent writer).

Anyway, suffice to say it’s not it’s not “Marky-Mark’s BlueNote Odyssey” this coming Satuday between 14:00-16:00 (2 - 4pm in old money) on Phonic FM, but another dose of “Jurassic Rock”!

Because:

• I can’t do 30th December (I just can’t!)

and

• Mark plays “the very best, toe tapping, head nodding tunes from Blue Note and other important jazz labels”, and I’m just not a big fan of jazz (although some Blue Note and jazz-funk is brilliant, along with a small fraction of jazz-rock).

So that’s JURASSIC ROCK – TOMORROW AT 2pm on PHONIC FM

As you were.

PS I love Fontaines DC – bar a lot of “Skinty Fia” - but why do they appear to have turned into arseholes?

Evening all. Just a little playlist of a Funk and Soul ("Sunken Foal") show that I did while sitting in for someone a couple of weeks ago. Didn't tell anyone...it was quite short notice. Good fun though, apart from lots of crackle in the studio - I think caused by unsavoury weather conditions - that thankfully did not come through "on the street".

Not very "rock" I know, but R.I.P. Frankie Beverly (Maze) and Quincy Jones (genius).

Also, please don't forget - December '24's "Jurassic Rock" tomorrow night, 8 till 10 (NB - won't be one on 30th)!"

Don’t forget…”Jurassic Rock” on Phonic FM tonight – 2:00-22:00. Some real tasty treats in store, including some glorious post-Halloween/October-related (well, the calendar was against me this year) miasma.
