This week’s planned and carefully researched episode, “Top New 20 Bands For The Music Trade Fair Jamal Khashoggi Would’ve Recommended Had He Not Been Hacked To Death” was scrapped at the last minute on the advice of the program’s legal counsel. He put it to me in terms even I could understand :  “listening to Disappears’ extensive back catalog = good. Getting disappeared = bad.”

So with that firmly in mind,, I wish said convention’s new ownership all the best and shall instead try to focus on the many ways this event is ushering in a new progressive era (for instance, there’s no longer a Fader Fort). The hastily scrapped-together musical contents for show #93 might not be as scintillating as the listicle I’d toiled on, but it’s gonna have to suffice.
