  The Mal Thursday Show #18: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Volume 2   Another collection of vintage ’60s nuggets covered by Boston’s longest-running garage band, (The) Lyres, led by Jeff “Monoman” Conolly.

Live recordings of rock ‘n’ roll bands from the mid-’60s are often a mixed bag of out-of-tune guitars, screaming girls, and questionable mic placement. Witness the Rolling Stones’ Got Live If You Want It and The Kinks’ Live at Kelvin Hall , to name but two. Then there are the fake live records, where audience noise is dubbed on to studio recordings, usually with underwhelming results. Here, originally posted 5/5/08, is the most popular episode of The Mal Thursday Show to date, "Live 'n Wild," featuring some excellent live garage records, drawn from 45s, radio and TV broadcasts, demo tapes, and even a Hawaiian “Battle of the Bands” LP. Presented in Living Monophonic Sound.

In an episode dedicated to the memory of Sky Saxon, Mal Thursday trips back in time and space to Los Angeles, California, circa 1966, and the teenage riots that inspired the exploitation classic Riot on Sunset Strip. Then, dig some bitchin' Seeds covers from Thee Headcoats, Alex Chilton, the Zeros, the Fiends, and the Freak Mountain Ramblers, as well as a set of Mal's favorite Seeds tracks. Special guest appearances by Deborah Walley and Mimsy Farmer. If you want the whole story on the Sunset Rebellion, be sure to check out Dominic Priore's great book, Riot On Sunset Strip – Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood, which I neglected to mention during the show. Presented in Living Monophonic Sound. 

This episode is a sequel to The Mal Thursday Show #16: Riot on Sunset Srip Revisited , once again turning the spotlight on the L.A. scene of the mid-’60s, with appearances by some of the era’s most rockin’ combos, including the Leaves, the Sons of Adam , the Avengers, and the Standells . Then, direct from Sonic Nightmares mission control in Switzerland, Mal’s special guest Gringo Starr spins a set of his favorite bands from the Southern California garage scene of the ’80s, including the Pandoras, the Tell-Tale Hearts, and the Untold Fables (if you dig the Fables, be sure to check out Out of the Vaults, Into Your Ears # 21 ). Presented in Living Monophonic Sound.
