BIG ENCHILADA 24: THE COMBINATION PLATE MURDERS

Greetings citizens of Podland. This month The Big Enchilada features songs about two of my favorite obsessions: crime and Mexican food. You'll hear dangerous musical treats from the likes of The Gories, The Monsters, The Fleshtones with Tony Truant, Joe "King" Carrasco, Scott H. Biram, The Leaving Trains, The Goblins. There's hot steaming platters from old masters like Bobby Hatfield and Freddy Fender, plus new treats from some of my GaragePunk Hideout cronies like Lovestruck, The Geargrinders and The Jackets.

BIG ENCHILADA 23: HUMAN-ANIMAL HYBRIDS

Visionary lawmakers in the great state of Arizona this year passed a law banning the production or even attempted production of human/animal hybrids. This was a courageous move, but was it too little, too late? Musicians for years have been warning us about these monsters. And now The Big Enchilada brings you the real story as told by Mississippi John Hurt, The Cramps, Alex Chilton, Tav Falco, John Schooley, Rex Allen and others. Plus wild bitchen sounds by Andre Williams, Barrence Whitfield & The Savages, Johnny Dowd, Batusis, King Salami, The Dirtbag Surfers and more.

BIG ENCHILADA 22: A HONKY IN A CHEAP MOTEL

Howdy, friends and neighbors. This month the Big Enchilada goes hillbilly nuts. Time to check into the Sunshine Motel, where I've stashed all sorts of rockabilly, hard-core honky tonk and other crazy country sounds. There's lots of local talent from New Mexico like Mose McCormack, Kell Robertson and Kris Hollis Key, plus the likes of The Ex Husbands, Bloodshot Bill, Flat Duo Jets, The Corn Sisters and Miss Tammy Faye Starlite. Plus there's all sorts of hillbilly heroes from the days of yore -- Rose Maddox, Jess Willard, Roy Hall, Tani Allen and so many more. Like my KSFR radio show, The Santa Fe Opry, this is the country music Nashville does NOT want you to hear!

BIG ENCHILADA 21: SOME ENCHANTED JUNGLE

You'll hear a new tune by the Del-Lords, plus amazing sounds by Pinata Protest, The Stomachmouths, Organs, Si Si Si ... and a whole combination plate of New Mexico bands -- Manby's Head, The Scrams, The Dirty Novels, Monkeyshines and Hundred Year Flood.

And then .... The Jungle!
