Greetings all.

Welcome to this month’s episode of the Iron Leg Radio Show.

As hard as this is to believe, this – the 25th edition of the ILRS – marks the two-year anniversary of the show!

It was back in May of 2011 that I decided to create an Iron Leg-gy alternative to the Funky16Corners Radio Show (albeit on a monthly, not weekly basis) in which I could bring you all manner of pop, sunshine, garage, freakbeat, psych and whatever else sounds groovy.

This time out you get some cool new arrivals, a long, second installment of my exploration of the Cowsills and a couple of old favorites.

As always, I hope you dig it. If you do, there are 24 more episodes in the archive to stuff into your ears.

See you next week.

Peace

Larry

Greetings all.

I hope all is well in your part of the world.

It’s time once again for the Iron Leg Radio Show, episode 21!

When I dipped into the crates to put this one together, it kind of got away from me as I pulled out on groovy LA-related side after another, and the first set stretched out to 45 minutes!

I don’t think you’ll be complaining, since it’s packed with some of the best music of the 60s, with stops in garage punk, pop, folk rock and psychedelia.

After that, you get two shorter sets – one heavier, one lighter – that I think you’ll also dig.

I hope you like it all, and I’ll see you next week.

Peace

Larry

Greetings all.

I hope the new week finds you well.

It’s time once again for the Iron Leg Radio Show, episode the seventeenth!

This month’s Iron Leg Radio Show is packed with recent acquisitions.

The last month has been very fruitful digging-wise with lots of sunshine pop, psychedelia and even a long sought after local garage 45 that finally came my way.

You get to check out some prime, late-60s California pop, including some very interesting early stuff from Bread (and pre-Bread 45s too)!

As always, I hope you dig it, and I’ll be back next week with something groovy.

Peace

Before we get started I want to let you know that this is Pledge Week over at Funky16Corners (aka the mothership).

I always put out the tip cup about this time every year to raise money for the server costs related to Funky16Corners and Iron Leg.

If soul and funk is a bag you’re in, there are close to 150 mixes and another 110 or so radio shows posted in the archives at Funky16Corners.

If you’re solely an Iron Leg-ger, there’s lots to pour into your ears over here as well, with the Iron Leg Digital Trip Podcast Archive as well as the Iron Leg Radio Show.

If it’s something you find valuable in any way, please click on the donate link over at F16C.
______________________________________________________________________________________________

This month’s Iron Leg Radio Show sees us back around the 90 minute mark, with some garage, freakbeat, worldbeat, a tribute to Robin Gibb, some tunes by Biff Rose and a very long set of sunshiney pop.

As always, I hope you dig it, and I’ll be back next week with something groovy.

I hope the new week finds you well.

It’s time once again for the Iron Leg Radio Show.

What you see before you is a truncated version thereof, bringing it in at a little bit under an hour.

Times are a little harder than normal these days so I don’t have quite as much time to get things together as I normally do. I’ll go back to the longer format as soon as time allows.

This month you get some interesting stuff, including a couple of great, obscure slices of pop and a set from one of my favorite groups, Thom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine.

As always, I hope you dig it, and I’ll be back next week with more cool stuff.

Peace

Greetings all.

Welcome once again to the Iron Leg Radio Show (episode the eleventh!).

This month we get thing started with attribute to the departed Davy Jones, as a Monkee and solo.

We also pay a bit of tribute to another artist that passed, the lesser known but very interesting Mike Melvoin.

There are – as always – all kinds of groovy sounds, some unusual and extremely interesting cover versions, a couple of old favorites and hopefully some stuff that is new to you.

As always, I hope you dig it (and if you do, check out the previous 10 episodes in the archive) and I’ll be back next week with something cool.

Peace

Larry
