Westwood One is America’s No.1 Radio Network and in 1991 the Trashcans paid them a visit to record a live session.
The show – called The Vault – had 6 segments from different artists featuring a short intro and outro from the announcer and then a live song.
On this CD we have an excellent acoustic version of ‘Only Tongue Can Tell’ from their debut long player ‘Cake’. These CDs are extremely rare and hard to find radio shows with only a limited number made for radio stations that would play this type of music and stations that subscribed to the Westwood One radio network services.
Other artists on the show – which was broadcast in February 1997 – included Devo, Midnight Oil, Living Colour and eh, Culture Club.
Magic!

Over the years the Trashcans have appeared on numerous compilations – some good, some not so – but this one from Greece is possibly the worst.
‘Escape’ appears to be an online lifestyle and culture magazine – a sort of what’s on in Greece type of thing. At one stage in it’s history, before going digital, it was accompanied by a free CD like the one below.
‘I’ve Seen Everything’ by the Trashcans is here amongst an amazing mix of artists including New Order, Dodgy, James Taylor Quartet and er, Incognito.
Whoever put this one together was obviously on some sort of medication as I cannae quite imagine myself listening to ISE whilst weaving my merry way down the French Alps.
Crazy!

Released on Monday 9 November, here’s the promo CD of ‘People’ – the second single from 5th album ‘In The Music’.
When ITM was released, ‘People’ appeared to be much maligned and wasn’t the most popular among you Trashcan fans (if you read the official forum you’ll know where I’m coming from) – but I think it’s a belter.
If you haven’t heard it and your mibbee doon in the dumps, then you could do worse than getting yourself over to YouTube and watchin’ the video, shot by none other than Mr John Douglas himself.
It’ll put a smile on yer face.
Why so serious…?
