As broadcast April 5, 2023 with plenty to peruse and far more beyond that. Detroit. How can one possibly attempt to cover one of the world's music capitals in just two hours? This is a problem we run into most Wednesdays, but this week's travel is especially vexing, with the place the locals call The D responsible for some of the world's most incredible music over the past nearly 100 years. From blues to rock to techno to soul to jazz to hip-hop, whatever you listen to, Detroit has got you covered and very well.Tracklist:Part I (00:00)Donald Byrd – Places & SpacesDwele – A Pimp's DreamLaura Rain & The Caesars – Rise AgainStevie Wonder – He's Missta Know-It-AllMoodymann – Misled Part II (30:26)Aretha Franklin – Dr. Feelgood (Live in Amsterdam, 1968)Smokey Robinson – How You Make Me FeelAmp Fiddler feat Bubz Fiddler & J Dilla – Through Your SoulMarvin Jay – I Heard It Through The GrapevineTall Black Guy – From Home, To Work, and BackTheo Parrish – Sweet StickyPart III (61:20)Marvin Gaye & Tami Terrell – Ain't No Mountain High EnoughThe Spinners – I'll Be AroundJazzanova feat Sean Haefeli – Face At My WindowSt. Germain feat John Lee Hooker – Sure ThingTheo Parrish – The Motor City (Uget 003) Part IV (93:02)The Pleasure Seekers – What A Way To DieDemolition Doll Rods – CloudBob Seger – Ramblin Gamblin ManThe Stooges – 1969Protomartyr – Processed By The BoysMid-Air Thief – These ChainsParannoul – We Shine at Night

However, we are exploring the true background of all these big pop hit makers; when they were PUNK! Whether you like this style of music or not, this is a fun exploration of the seedy underground beginning of some of the biggest 80s pop stars.

It's fun and filthy and is where Kevin started down his path of music fanaticism. These songs are all firmly in the category of “Forgotten”.

In Episode 4, Barely Human turns to the space between the hippies and the punks to find the bands who didn't fit in with the bands who didn't fit in. From the US midwest in the early 1970s, we find Cleveland proto-punk act the electric eels, who were toying with the tropes of punk years before the movement started. Then we look at Death from Detroit, a band of three brothers who turned down a twenty thousand dollar recording contract in 1975 because they refused to change their name. Barely Human is written and hosted by Max Easton, and produced by Jason L'Ecuyer and Output Media.

This week we discuss the ever evolving list of genres & sub-genres for music. Are they really necessary? Do they serve their intended purpose or do they instead intimidate potential listeners?
The newest episode of my hour-long music podcast, DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO (#22), was recorded in a hotel room in Oslo, Norway this week, rather than in our home base of San Francisco. See if you can detect a distinct "Scandinavian" flair to the show, to say nothing of the babbling and storytelling brought on by extreme jet lag. With a plate of smoked salmon by my side and speed skaters cavorting outside of my window, I played new music from Hannah Lew (Grass Widow)'s COLD BEAT, from Baltimore's WILDHONEY, as well as a new punisher from Australia's EASTLINK - to go with some righteous tunes from other eras from Monoshock, Bill Direen & The Bilders, Weenie Roast, Fifty Foot Hose, Slovenly, Mike Rep & the Quotas and more.Track listing:COLD BEAT - WormsJOHNNY YENG BANG - FoolEYES - TAQNWEENIE ROAST - FlowerpotSLOVENLY - PlugBILL DIREEN & THE BILDERS - AlienLITTLE CLAW - Race To The BottomWILDHONEY - Like MeDINOSAUR - Bulbs of PassionTHE CHEFS - You Get EverywhereTHE RAMONES - Judy is a Punk (demo)MIKE REP & THE QUOTAS - Rocket Music OnFIFTY FOOT HOSE - Red The Sign PostMONOSHOCK - Primitive ZippoNEW FUGITIVES - That's QueerMAN TEE MANS - Man Tee Mans (Theme)THE WHITEFRONTS - Six BusesEASTLINK - Wild Dog
