It's been a while what can I say?  I have always been about quality, but these days I guess I am giving less fucks about how good I sound. As long as I keep busting out killer tunes, what difference does it matter?  So I will try to post more, and try to hit some older shows too.  Yesterdays live show was a banger so I figured let's start off big.  In the show I also give you a sample of the Still Out of Order Fest part 2 happening in November in Australia.  Enjoy the show !!

After last weeks failed 1st St. Patrick's Day Episode I owed it to everyone to put together a real banger. There are 2 key ingredients for this: #1. Listener Input #2. minimal Interruptions so this is is mostly requests and I only intro and outro the program. Talk about the best of both worlds. Have a Happy and safe St. Patrick's Day and remember despite all the hype and shenanigans around the day, it's ok not to drink!

Back in the 80's Punk, or Hardcore as it was known was still pretty new. If you recall all those 80's movies the villains were always punks! The scene was violent, and came from a class of people who needed to be hear. There was Reaganomics, Gorbachev and Nuclear War Drills and civil unrest everywhere. Funny the names have changed as have the faces but the songs and the messages are as relevant as always.  Enjoy this walk through the past, the present and most likely the future and I will see you in the pit !

Here we are on the precipice of 2024, after the past year could things get worse? Maybe, but will they... doubtful.  I have withstood the storm of life and remained steadfast. The focus has shifted a bit but the core has remained solid, which is great music for great people.  When I took this show over it was to continue bringing music to the masses. At that time it was entirely Celtic Rock and Punk, but over the years it dwindled, though last year there were a significant amount of really good new releases. Thanks to the folks at LCP for their dedication and love of the scene, it helps fuel me at times as well. Anyway, this episode features quite a bit of Celtic music and a ton of Punk and Oi! This episode is certain to get you up and moving. Enjoy it and hang tight for the next episode, maybe later this week.

What you have here is the same as me saving Christmas. Like I said before, I didn't realize I had become a tradition for so many listeners. So at the 11th Hour I pulled another one and broke off what I think is a pretty fucking awesome Christmas show. Not going to make any bones about it 2023 sucked, the WORST year of my life. I lost my mom, my wife and my pop is in the hospital trying to keep both his legs. To say it's not been easy is an understatement, but somehow I made it out and I will be better for it in the end (I think). If I care share one thing with anyone who reads this, no matter how crap fucking shit things seem, just DO NOT quit on yourself. Things will get better! For the rest of you respect that Christmas can be tough for a lot of us, call of those close to you and make sure they are ok. Sometimes just one person caring makes all the difference. Enjoy the show and spread the love have a Merry Christmas and I will see you in 2024 for one spectacular fucking year, and hopefully more Celtic Punk !

Season 22, Episode #15
Last week was Australian Band T-Shirt week and as such I celebrated it! There is little in terms of music that I enjoy more that Aussie jams! So after spinning some new tunes I opted to reach down under and cram your earholes full of Australian Audible Heaven. To say this show is a banger really doesn't do it justice so just enjoy the show and spread the love.

Season 20, Episode #10 And you didn't have to wait months and months! I actually got a late start on today's show and was not even close to prepared, in fact I made this playlist while I was doing the show. Though within the first 7 minutes I had it done and we were kicking ass. Kicked in off with some Cock Sparrer, which set the tone for the rest of the show. Figured with Labour Day just passing, why not bust out a set on some Blue Collar Bangers and do an all Oi! Show..  So I did. Was a busy and evening, but the tunes are solid and are plentiful. Just remember because someone is a Skinhead doesn't automatically make them racist. Don't forget to drop by and visit our friends at Covert Vinyl Fire it up and as always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Thought easing back into the saddle would be easy, but getting back into anything after a lay off is difficult. Driving, Relationships, The Gym and even Podcasting / Radio - You just forget how somethings work...!  So, this episode was not without its struggles, now you have a shortened one. I recently became acquainted with Chad and Thora some local peeps busting their asses to make the local punk scene great again.  Chad plays in a few bands (Blanks 77 and The Mesos) and they also host the Pretty Vacant Podcast. So in recognition of the great music they play and promote I have included some of the awesome local / regional tunes that have been and are coming to the area, in addition to a whole host of other great punk and Oi! Enjoy the show and spread the love.
