The Gaslight Anthem Covers The Who Live In New York Plus, Sex Pistols Toys and The Big Pink Remix
On today’s show: The Sex Pistols have been made into toys, The Big Pink releases remix album, and The Gaslight Anthem live streams from Brooklyn with a cover of The Who’s Baba O’Riley.
Hey there. I’m Eddie DaRoza, and here’s your Daily Detour.
Ohhhhhhhh aren’t these the cutest little things. A little doll Johnny Rotten. A company has made a line of three and a half inch Sex Pistols toys. The little vinyl figures are dressed is classic pistols attire and retail for about ten bucks. Through one on your desk for a constant reminder of how punk you should be. Or how a sid, Johnny, and Steve collection. Which by the way – where’s the Paul Cook doll?
The Big Pink have released one of my favorite albums of the year in Future This. I’m still wondering when they are going to come play it live out here in California. But anyways… The band just released a free remix album with new versions of Stay Gold, Superman, and 77. Contributions of the record come from Danny Brown, King Krule and AraabmusiK among others.
And finally today, The Gaslight Anthem just streamed their New York concert live from the Williamsburg Music Hall in Brooklyn. The show was great, but the highlight for me was this awesome cover of – as Brian Fallon stated “one of the greatest rock songs ever” – Baba O’ Riley by The Who. Check this clip out.
I love that song. The Who forever.
Ok that’s all for me. I’m outta here. You have a nice rest of your day. Later.

The Dirty Heads Have A New Video & CBGB Goes On Tour Plus, Sid Vicious Turns 55
On today’s show.. Sid Vicious is 55, The Dirty Heads new vid, and CBGB is now a music festival.
First off today, we’d like to wish a very happy birthday today a 55 year-old Sid Vicious. Yep, that’s right, if Sid the kid were still alive today, he would be 55-years-old. As we all know Sid died at the young age of 21 in an apartment building. If he survived all these years how do think Sid would be today? We’ll never know.
Our buddies in the Dirty Heads have just released a brand new video for their latest single. You know the Dirty Heads right? A bunch of fun dudes from Huntington Beach. Here’s a clip from Spread Too Thin.
And finally today, as everyone knows CBGB, the legendary New York City music venue, was shut down and is now a John Varvatos clothing store. I was never able to see a show there but I went to the store once to check it out. I tried to take a picture of a cool Ramones poster with my cell phone, and some little dork in a 15 hundred dollar outfit walks up to me and tells me no photos. Thats how I knew the rock was dead. But apparently the group who owns the CBGB name is trying to revive the brand by turning CBGB into a weeklong music festival in New York City. Shows will be hosted everywhere from Bowery Ballroom to The Trash Bar. Could be a good time. We’ll have to see.
