Mark Germino - Rex Bob Lowenstein (Rock Version)

[amaranth769]

anyone got "burnin the firehouse down?" awesome tune

[gwiwer57]

One relatively obscure song which says it all about music radio. Impossible to find as a download as is the seminal "Caught in the Act of Being Ourselves" An absolute classic though I have to say I prefer the version released as a single.

I totally agree with the comment above, it is a piece of social history and alas the damage is done now

[june4783]

I totally agree with the comment above, this song is nearly a piece of social history. Good luck to everyone who has responded here

Used to love this on the Nicky Campbell show on radio 1 in the 80's.

Where is Mark Germino these days? Does he still perform? Last time I saw him was about 15 years ago at a small festival in either Nashville or Knoxville. Poor guy has a demon or two floating around that head of his. Hope he is doing well.  Seemed like a very nice guy - obviously talented.

If anyone ever wants to know why so much UK local radio is currently unlistenable, repetitive, formatted drivel this song explains precisely how it happened.

[freezedriedrocker]

@CycolacFan .

I remember first hearing this on the local radio station when I was a student in Manchester in the late 1980's. you are so right

[jamesstafforduk]

@CycolacFan True. And because most people are morons.

"Played smash and trash till they cuffed him on the floor"...fantastic!!!!!

I first heard this song on KPIG. I live in a small town, and KPIG (a Bay Area station) was carried here by a small local station, KQMS. KPIG is a great station with real disc jockies. KQMS dropped the KPIG feed in my town and inserted Rush Limbaugh & Glenn Beck in its place for higher ratings. Kinda like the song: anything for the bottom line.

[viggan88]

To bad that it's so hard to get a hold of.

I live in Sweden and it's close to impossible to find any of his CD's here.

[Happajuckus]

@viggan88

Germino är en av mina husgudar. Har samtliga hans CD.

[LarsRygaard]

@Happajuckus Hej Jeg er først for nyligt blevet opmærksom på Mark Germino. Jeg har kun kunnet identificere nogle af CD´er på internettet. Er Aomtic Candlestick for sale i en svensk shop? evt. på nettet? mvh
