This shit, like so much else around higher ed in 2025, def feels like the school admins being excited to finally have an excuse to bring the hammer down on people they had nothing but contempt for all along.

One of the few “bigger” bands we did where we dealt mostly with the band, rather than management. Greg mixed it (sounds rad) and picked the songs, which is a thing we encouraged more bands to do, but almost no one did. Every step of this process was delightful. youtu.be/ll0ZP75tsjo

Also g*n to my head, this ^^^ is my all time favorite ep of this particular series. Lockdown anxiety/ennui aside, Meg is an absolute ripper and their band on this tour was 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

We shot this in like late Jan/early Feb 2020. It was the footage and audio I had on my hard drive when we all got told not to come in, so this is what I worked on in between reading CDC situation reports and noticing Andrew Cuomo’s nipple rings. Unbelievably surreal experience. youtu.be/6amwB7YSI_w

This was always kind of the target. Not really a “punk” band, but definitely a pretty fully committed DIY band. Probably has an AudioTree session. “Known,” but not “famous” or whatever. Anyway, goddamn when the parachute lights up the first time. youtu.be/Auyr09PpAoU

We made the stuff we made because it felt important to us. It still does.

Anyway, I’m just gonna post episodes that liked a lot in this thread periodically until I get tired of doing it. All of this is a real kick in the pants and I feel weird semi-publicly mourning a job. But also…

The PBS/CPB/lifesaving foreign aid rescission bill from earlier this year yanked money from the funding stream that pays my salary, so that’s that. 10 other people from the station got it too, including said brother and 3 more of my closest coworkers.

Ah well shit
