ROCK N' ROLL CIRCUS #44

ROCK N' ROLL CIRCUS #44

Author: Radio Wilder July 31, 2025 Duration: 1:51:21

đŸ”„ Fresh off being featured on Feedspot, one of the powerhouse rock-casters out there—Radio Wilder is back under the Big Top with another wild ride!

Wait
 did we seriously open the show with “Elysian Persuasion” by Ozomatli? Who the hell is that and where did it come from? It came from one of our all-time favorite playlists—Dapper Dan’s list at Glai Ban, the best Thai food joint in Phoenix. His music picks are super eclectic, super cool, and totally unlike anything you’d ever hear in a restaurant. But it works, because Glai Ban’s customers are just as electric as the playlist.

This week’s Deuces is a treat: “Killer Joe” from 1963, by four Filipino brothers—Tony, Junior, Eddie, and Albert—led by their dad Doroteo. It hit #16 and was inspired by the King of the Discotheque himself, Killer Joe Piro! We're spinning the original and the Kingsmen cover from the same year.

Also on deck:

đŸŽ¶ “Handclap” from Fitz and the Tantrums

đŸŽ¶ “Gumboots” from Paul Simon’s Graceland—ranked #118 in the Top 500 albums of all time

đŸŽ¶ And we wrap it up funky with “4 + 20” from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Thanks as always for listening—you all rock just as hard as the playlist. Tune in and enjoy the ride!


Tune into Radio Wilder for a raw, personal journey through sound and memory, hosted by former drummer Harry Wilder Sleighel. This isn't a curated playlist or a formal interview show; it's the sonic diary of a life lived in rhythm. Each episode blends music with intimate, off-the-cuff stories drawn directly from over sixty years of a Rock 'n' Roll ethos-a perspective he's still actively living. The podcast feels like a late-night conversation in a backstage green room, where tales of the road, the studio, and the evolution of an artist's spirit flow as freely as the tracks he plays. You'll hear the records that shaped him, the behind-the-scenes moments that defined him, and the ongoing passion that fuels him. It’s this unique fusion of personal narrative and musical selection that naturally builds what listeners call the "Wilder Nation"-a community connected by authentic stories and the timeless power of a great song. Expect a direct, unvarnished, and deeply human connection in every installment, where the line between the artist and the audience dissolves.
