MonkeyBeat 47: My Elephant Lamp

MonkeyBeat 47: My Elephant Lamp

I think the heat melted my mind while recording this one. I start out pretty much sharp and on top of announcing the music being played. However, about 45 minutes into it I seem to mess up even the simplest of band names and song titles. Make sure you follow what is printed below, not your brain dead announcer, on this one.
All an all the music on here makes a great soundtrack to a hot summer day.

Songs played:

1. The Wildhearts - Zeen Requiem
2. Jim Jones Revue - High Horse
3. Gunsmoke - Nothing Left To Say
4. Richmond Fontaine - The Gits
5. The Ruiners - Happy Birthday Bitch!
6. The Makers - She's Going Under
7. Question Mark & The Mysterians - Don't Give It Up Now
8. The Monks - Monk Time (Live in Berlin 2006)
9. The Hard-Ons - Pretend It's Vanilla
10. Visqueen - Lovely Guilty
11. Ken Stringfellow & The Disciplines - No Vacancy
12. Gorevette - Nothings Gonna Stop Me
13. The Untamed Youth - Interview/Mailbox Jamboree
14. The Mummies - Victim of Curcumstances
