THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #25: Kim Fowley's Trainwreck a Go Go

 

Mal Thursday welcomes legendary producer, provocateur, and scenemaker Kim Fowley to the program for the first of two episodes dedicated to the wildest recordings in his massive back catalog, which contains over 5000 songs. Currently being portrayed by Oscar-nominated actor Michael Shannon in the big screen rock 'n roll biopic The Runaways, Fowley is, in his own words, "a jerk, a genius, and a pig." Sit back and immerse yourself in the man and his music, the legend and the lunacy.

I have a single written and produced by Fowley of an East LA band called The Vaqueros doing "Vaquero Beat". Very similar to Thee Midniters.

Mal this episode KILLS. I had no knowledge of Fowley pre-Runaways. I still have my vinyl copies of the Runaways albums purchased when I was a kid. I'm 43 now & I still get chills when I hear "Cherry Bomb". Kim Fowley and The Runaways stomped a mudhole in the ass of rock & roll.

Great show! Cool that you nabbed Fowley himself.

I recently blogged about my one encounter with the old boy (it was at SXSW also) http://steveterrell.blogspot.com/2010/03/emusic-march.html

Thanks! This show was done at two in the morning after ten 16-hour days of South by Southwest "bloodsport" (I was KF's driver/press agent/recording engineer/assistant). You can hear him yawning more than once. But it was worth it. Quite an experience...
