In the late 1970's, as the punk and new wave scene flourished, the UK produced the 3 angry men of rock and roll - Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson and Graham Parker. Of the 3, Graham Parker often gets over looked, which is shame. His first two albums, Howling Wind and Heat Treatment, both released in 1976, were widely hailed by critics. For example, Robert Christgau gave both discs a grade of A! In March 1979, Parker released his masterpiece, Squeezing Out Sparks. The album was not only a critical success, but also a commercial one, as the disc cracked the top 40 on the Billboard charts. Songs from the album, such as Discovering Japan, Local Girls, Passion Is No Ordinary Word and Love Gets You Twisted, all received extensive FM airplay. Parker and his band the Rumour toured the US in support of the disc in the spring of 1979. This FM broadcast from that tour captures Parker live from Seattle on June 24, 1979, 32 years ago today. Download this one and you'll be reminded of why Parker was once mentioned in the same breath as Costello and Jackson.

Recorded in the summer of 1979, and released on December 14 of that year, London Calling is often hailed as the greatest album of the punk/new wave era. Rolling Stone ranked it 8th of its list of the 500 best albums of all time. Robert Christgau described London Calling as "warm, angry, and thoughtful, confident, melodic, and hard-rocking" and called it "the best double-LP since Exile on Main Street." The cover photo, which features Paul Simonon smashing his bass, a perfect punk rock moment, was shot at The Palladium in New York on September 21, 1979. This soundboard recording captures The Clash on tour in support of London's Calling at the Rettel Festival in France on June 14, 1980, 31 years ago today.
