Wolfman Jack's autobio makes for a pretty good read. Tales of setting up shop in a Mexican bordertown's radio station, while equipping the roof with enough guns and ammo to protect themselves against a local gang.
And as for local radio stations, I can never never never never get enough of R. Fink's "Rock 'n' Roll Dance Party" on WUSB in Stony Brook, NY. I live all the way down in middle-Georgia, but I make it a point to download his show every week. Hours ...
I do appreciate Manfred's show on the Undergarage channel. He's a fellow with his heart and ear in the right place. But as for much of the newer material forced into the station's playlists, and often celebrated as "the Coolest Song in the World" ...
I dig on gritty, sweaty, trashed-out music. I can go mental or get sentimental with 60s garage, psych, 50s r&b, rockabilly, 60s soul, power pop, punk, old country, primitive gospel, share croppin'/juke joint blues, girl groups, sunshine pop, bubblegum, surf/hot rod, instrumental
Favorite Movies:
Horror; Exploitation Trash
Favorite GaragePunk.com Podcast(s):
this question reminds me of Sophie's Choice. I will say that R. Fink, Rob Baker, Jim Stark, and Ryan K are gods in my book.

That's great news, baby! Hot damn, I dig that Rob's house 7" y'all put out (only wish I could have been part of the audience action)...my jive is this: Livin' in Columbia, SC can be a real drag, but a Crucials show would liven things up a bit fer us down and out in South Kackalacky's Capital City...any chance, Shake?
Complete left field shit here: I spun the 7" mentioned above on my old radio show and had a caller buzz me with the line that "thee Crucials were the best sixties band [he] never heard!" ...dig that!
