CWT #139: 'Astro-Creep: 2000' by White Zombie still kicks ass..and my voice cracked a number of times here, as usual.

CWT #137: Assemblage 23 - Top-Notch Electro-industrial Synthpop

The Carter family was highly important in music. I talk about them while obnoxiously peppering in plenty of what I call "bogus bonus trivia" about music (which probably won't earn my podcast any fans, but which I do anyway, for some reason).

Why, despite all odds, I am actually a bit (cautiously) optimistic about the future. 

Who hates The Cars? I don't and you probably shouldn't, either. In fact, they are my band recommendation of the day!

Retreats of the robust,

Who have made their makeshift homes among the boulders

And the deep shadows of the chaparral fronds.

April is the cruelest month:

Wind, dust, and blight, April is alone.

In silence to a country house near,

Where the aged servants live still,

Though the grass grow soughing under our feet,

Until some sparrow-bells start to peal,

Or the owls begin their rusty wail,

Which long notes draw out into long tones,

In the solitude of night.
