For episode 84 and the first narrowcast of 2021, I'd like to take a few moments to discuss the SLEAZY SIDE of the streaming radio sector. To wit, the heavy-handed attempts of one disreputable label, Kindly Cock Records, to influence the programming of this show. Unlike most of you, I've got something called ETHICS -- not to be confused with a no longer in vogue skate shoe --- and it will take much, more than an all expenses paid junket* to see the Brooklyn Nets host a COVID-depleted Los Angeles Clippers lineup on New Year's Day to get me to play your latest (dubious) conceptual work. You can send me "TERRENCE MANN > JUWANNA MANN" texts all night long, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
