I’m glad you were able to! I wrote some things for an Australian fanzine around the same time, and I remember simply not knowing if and when my scribblings would it make it via international mail from Boston to Melbourne.

Playing Seattle next (Sunday night)!

And this week's show has the world radio debut of a lost post-C86 gem from a new collection out later this month on Harriet Records. Hear it here first!

This woman was wearing a bright yellow argyle cardigan w/sharp-chopped, fluorescent green hair, one of many excellent styles on display.

Also, someone complimented my style and said I reminded them of Poison Ivy of The Cramps. I’ll take it!

Fascinating session today with former Washington Post editorial cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social in conversation w/ @bretthamil.bsky.social, covering her background in animation thru to her time at the Post and how she came to leave the paper.

Also worth mentioning that every part of this show, including the cover art, is assembled by myself. (No AI here... ever!!) Images from old catalogs, magazines, record sleeves are colored, textured and reimagined for each week's show. Here's one example:

Clever! There was a McTells record they put on Bandcamp last year. All new songs, still excellent: mctells.bandcamp.com/album/mix-up-2

The members of both bands also play in at least four other current bands, so it can be hard to keep track of it all!

At the Tractor? Yup, that was a great show.

Nine Pound Hammer is the name of the bar/venue. No opener, to my knowledge.
