Radio Cramps - The Purple Knif Show
Tumblr media
"Lux Interior: inter-dimensional, pan-sexual, time-traveling rock & roll alien. And radio host. As Halloween draws nigh we’re revving up for our annual airing of The Purple Knif Show, the one-off radio program hosted by Lux in 1984 deep in the bowels of Hollywood. As master of ceremonies, Lux runs through his personal archives spinning the weird ranging from rockabilly and garage to early punk, campy novelty and exotica. His bag of tricks was the best. So go ahead, “get out your magic decoder rings, boys and girls…” Trick or treat." 🎃

TAKE 10% OFF OF EVERYTHING THROUGH DECEMBER 20TH
USE CODE: noVAXnoWAX AT CHECKOUT!
Tumblr media
Get your shots or we don’t get nice things. You can’t use this particular code in good conscience if you ain’t been jabbered, right? RIGHT. We’re pleased as punch to lay a 10% discount on E’RY GOT DAMN RECORD, CD and T-SHIRT in stock at www.slovenly.com through December 20th. EVERYTHING. The Slovenly 7inch Member’s Club? CHECK. Been holding out on buying the compilation / box set of the motherfuckin’ year “He’s Bad! 11 Bands Decimate the Beats of Bo Diddley” for some stupid reason (like low funds)? Welp, save a few bucks on it and revel in the glory of your favorite garage-punkers and budget rockers worshipping at the altar of The Originator! And now that we’ve tooted our own horn, let’s lay some distributed title beef on ya dirty ears (all records being yapped about below are in the USA store), starting with a few of our fave releases of 2021: SMIRK “LP” (on Feel It Records in the States) is grimy, weird and feels like a hug from a creep under a bridge. The self-titled TOTAL HELL album on Goner Records will FUCK YOU UP, DOG. A punk take on superthrash with John Henry from STATIC STATIC, Michael Hohan from TRAMPOLINE TEAM and Drew SICK THOUGHTS. Like, SICK. The debut synth-trash “Mind Tasters Floor Wasters” LP from Kansas City, Mo’s FUTURE KILL (Big Neck Records) got the yellowgreenred.com seal of approval, with Mr. Korvette saying “The biggest reference is surely Chrome, the way in which Future Kill lock into stoner riffs and blast them to smithereens in post-production, covering everything in distortion and effects.” Yip. We’re gassed as heck to finally have copies in again of one of thee wyldest slop’n’roll collections EVER, the “The Purple Knif Show” LP by radio host supreme LUX INTERIOR. Need something even dumber (read: silly and fun)? Dig the AURITA Y SU CONJUNTO record for some groovy 70s cumbia fronted by a wee lass. GREAT! Anyway, have a look-see and we'll catch you on the flip.
SLOVENLY USA: SHIPS FROM PENNSYLVANIA, USA (cheapest for orders to USA & Puerto Rico)
NEW ARRIVALS HERE!
SLOVENLY WORLDWIDE: SHIPS FROM BERLIN, GERMANY (cheapest to destinations outside the USA)
NEW ARRIVALS HERE!

Bill Carter & The Rovin’ Gamblers – Baby Brother
There’s not much to tell about Bill Carter & “Baby Brother” certainly defies description. in 1959 country & gospel artist Bill Carter briefly embraced rockabilly by recording “Cool Tom Cat” on the Ozark & Blackjack record labels with “Baby Brother” on the flip. He was backed on both songs by the Rovin’ Gamblers.
This journey into the weird side of country music gave us the gift of a truly bizarre set to off key lap guitar telling the story of the strange behavior of a a sibling learning to swim in a goldfish bowl & flapping his arms and chasing his toy balloon into the sky. I first heard this song 15 years ago on a 1984 radio broadcast.. Turns out that someone had the brilliant foresight to slip a blank cassette in and record Lux Interior spinning his own records as a guest DJ at a local Hollywood radio station. The broadcast was released by my friends Lindsay & Inigo Munster on Munster Records as The Purple Knif Show – Radio Cramps. Another “must own” in your quest for the cool and strange.
“Baby Brother” has always impressed upon me that in 1959 you could record just about anything and get away with it.

A one-off radio program hosted by Lux Interior in 1984. That's really all I need to say for you to know that it is awesome......download it!
I can think of few meetings in my my life that were as cool and wonderful as when I met Lux and Ivy in 1998; just the kindest, sweetest...incredibly beautiful people. I will never forget Lux's smile as he met with fans. It moved me.
He's very much missed.
