No cheap shots or real blogging this time but I do have radio station programming notes for those who are interested.

Can anybody else tell me who this band is? My brother ran into this tapestry in a used clothing shop in Los Angeles. It's dated 1982 and all of the band members appear to have signed it, although I can't read them. The guy in the galsses looks familiar but I can't place it.

Anyone out there know who this band is?

A friend of mine in Texas who fronts the band "Fear2Stop" has just released a new album of synth based remakes, including a fairly good remake of "Mad World" in it's original up-tempo form.

The single is available everywhere but the album it's from is only on Bandcamp right now. Enjoy!

(btw, it was a conversation with him that lead to me writing "Ordinary Life")

As per usual my blog version will be up shortly, with notes about the radio station and my thoughts on various news stories.

I finally got around to checking out my bud Kiffie's new album, "Living Past MIdnight". It's only available on Bandcamp for now, and it's worth your time, especially if you're into the dark side of Synthwave.

As I said, he's a friend, and we've collobarated in the past.

New music from early alt stalwarts The The!

Read the liner notes in the video - the way the song was constructed is fascinating - at least to a person like me.

New Music

Dive Time (with yungatita), "Number One Priority"

Their first release. I may have been only the second person the stream the song. That will change. Yungatita has 1.2M followers. Dive Time, as of when I type this - has TWO.

I love this sort of thing. Enjoy!
