Teenage Hate is also available in a sweet double-LP vinyl format too.

4:08pm David Shortell:

I always learn something new listening to this program. This is the first I've heard of a band named Running, Jumping, Standing Still. I'd only known of the 1960 Dick Lester short film that inspired the great The Ergs! song of the same title.

4:15pm Mark Watkins:

Moon Duo are cool. The new single over here (UK) is When You Cut.

they really nailed the retro psych/garage rock, back in the 80'ssssssss

5:05pm Marmalade Kitty:

RIP Mark Smith

5:07pm DJ Terre T:

@Everybody thanx for the nice words!
@Marmalade Kitty MARK SMITH in the B&W photo is 3rd from the left , my esteemed cohost Stu Rutherford who is programming this great set (& was in CREATURES OF THE GOLDEN DAWN) is 2nd from the right.
In the color photo Mark Smith is in the center in black. Stu is in the Black & white striped shirt.

5:15pm Marmalade Kitty:

Hey, Stu I didnt know, sorry man.. That's an amazing band you got!! I really need to pull my head out! all these great bands i've never heard or seen! Thanks Terre, Stu and all!

5:20pm Marmalade Kitty:

Stu, on bass..?

5:30pm Listener Jumpy from Brooklyn:

I still have the cassette demos of the Creatures Mark passed me at one of his Southern Funk Cafe bands!

5:30pm Marmalade Kitty:

What a buzz..!!

5:31pm Marmalade Kitty:

What a buzz..!!!!

5:41pm DJ Terre T:

@Jumpy That is amazing u have cassette demos of CREATURES OF THE GOLDEN DAWN that Mark gave u! Ya got a way to digitize those or at least make a cassette copy? (maybe Larry H. "King Kassette"an help us out!)

5:41pm Michael Lo:

Superb job, Stu - you are really knocking me dead. Even as a former member I never realized the colossal body of work! And I've plum forgotten about some of those songs even though I'm on them! It's a stone gas to hear them again. Stay gold, M.

5:44pm Michael Lo:

PS - Shut UP! "Stop, Listen to My Story"??? Stu, you have that?? PLEASE send me a copy. I forgot how good that was!

Nice pics, too. Haha, the black and white pic shows one of my favorite apartments I ever had.

5:46pm Bluesman:

A fabulous celebration of Mark and the Creatures! Well done Terre and ya'all.

5:46pm DJ Terre T:

@Mike Lo- thanx for chiming in! For the peeps out there in radio land- Mike Lo played guitar in the CREATURES OF THE GOLDEN DAWN,1994-97 & he wrote "Stop, Listen to My Story" & "Cynthia Cellophane" & "Tripping" --i think that's right ?

5:47pm DJ Terre T:

@Bluesman! Thanx ! So glad u got to hear it!

5:48pm DJ Terre T:

@Michael Lo- also i cribbed yr note & pic of MARK SMITH on the back cover of the BUY CONTORTIONS comp! WOW! I had no idea abt that!

5:52pm Michael Lo:

Terre - I did write both of those songs, although it should be noted that the lyrics for Cynthia Cellophane were composed my Mark. I only wrote the chorus, the verses were all Mark. Tripping was a song I used to do with Stu in another band prior to us both joining the Creatures in 1995.

5:53pm andreasheinz:

Thanks to Terre T - monster DJ

5:53pm Stevel:

Thanks for the White Mystery earlier. Heading out to see them in lil ole Fort Wayne Indiana with River City Tanlines and the Elky Summers.

5:54pm Michael Lo:

Re: the Contortions LP, Mark told me that in a rare quiet moment one time. I don't know it was not more widely discussed. I honestly think we wanted to play down his punk and post-punk background. When we were recording, he insisted on me deleting some guitar lines I played that were "too Television", ironically one of his favorite early bands.

5:55pm Michael Lo:

Sorry, that should be "he" wanted to play down his post-punk background. He wanted to be known as `60s purist at the time.

5:57pm Ron:

What a great and heartfelt show today! RIP Mark Smith! And thanks for the great rock today Terre!

6:00pm Marmalade Kitty:

must do this again! there's never, enough TIME.. Great show :)

6:03pm Listener Jumpy from Brooklyn:

I can, Terre. But of course it can't be used for commercial purposes.

10:07pm NJU:

anyone know where one could download "The Acid Test"?? song rules!

10:26pm Joe B:

regarding the Funhouse in Bethlehem, Pa., the Creatures' residency was the last Friday of every month, the Original Sins were the second Friday of every month. Psyclone Rangers were great too! forget what their day was.

11:36pm Stu R:

Marmalade Kitty - Thanks so much for the kind words. Yeah, that is me on the bass.

NJU - To my knowledge, none of the Creatures music is available as downloads and if it is, it would be just the released material, not outtakes like "The Acid Test". Check out the archive for Bill Kelly's show from 6/5/11 if you'd like to hear a different version of "Acid Test" which was recorded a few years prior to the one I played today.

11:41am Mike Chaffier:

Greetings all. This is Mike Chaffier, one of many drummers for The Creatures (of the Golden Dawn). My stint was back in '87-'88 when we were just known as The Creatures. I miss Mark very much. Even though I didn't get out a lot to see him perform after I left the band, the times I did he always treated me like a friend even though I was only in the group a short time. I still have unreleased recordings that we did in '87 and a lot of video tape of performaces they did at The Funhouse in Bethlehem, PA back in the 90's. Check out my YouTube channel, "mikechaffier", because I will be putting a lot more clips up in the near future.

11:47am Mike Chaffier:

Stu R. - Don't know if you will see this, but check out this Creatures clip from The Funhouse. I have more to come. Friend me on facebook or subscribe to my YouTube channel to let me know you're out there waiting.
