March 01, 2021 76. Mickey Bliss
On this episode of the podcast, long Boston area club booker and musician Mickey Bliss shares some fabulous stories from when he started playing shows in the old Combat Zone in Boston in the late seventies, to his 26 years as a club booker for The Kirkland Cafe in Somerville MA and then Club Bohemia downstairs at The Cantab Lounge in Central Square in Cambridge Ma. In one story, which has an hilarious ending, Mickey recalls brawling with another former Boston area booker Martin Doyle. We also play Mickey's still popular single "Cocktails For Two."

March 01, 2021 75. Collibrina - Alt Model (appearance 3)
Sex worker, filmmaker, naked yoga queen, and OnlyFans star Collibrina makes her third appearance on the show — and like before, there's never a dull moment.
We dig into her experimental film The Feminist (highly recommended), hear a couple of her favorite songs, and turn her on to "My Body" by 50 Ft Queenie. And of course, plenty of other odds and ends about sex, music, and surviving in 2021. A blast as usual.
Music
That Handsome Devil "A Drink To Death"
Natti Vogel "I don't Want To Find The One"
50 FT Furies "My Body"
The Charms "So Pretty" (Intro music)

February 08, 2021 70. Erich Thaler - Stompbox, Scratch, D-CON
Erich Thaler traces his path from the Spokane, WA music scene to Boston, where Stompbox earned a major label deal with Columbia and became one of the city's most talked-about bands in the early '90s. When things unraveled, Thaler hit some dark times — but he bounced back with D-CON, eventually made his way to California, got straight, and rebuilt his life.
