Four Dimensional Nightmare, LIVE! (#28) I first met Four Dimensional Nightmare in 2013, when I was tapped to run sound for a live gig he was doing on our sister program, What’s This Called?  As was often the case with gigs like that, the music was unlike anything I’d heard before, and when it came time … Continue reading Four Dimensional Nightmare, LIVE! (#28)

Thanksgiving Leftovers  (2009 Retrocast) (#26.1) In this retrocast from almost 7 years ago, I explore an hour of music that I hadn’t gotten a chance to get to this year.  Just after Thanksgiving there are always a number of leftovers lying around; things that you can’t finish in spite of your best efforts.

Giant Worm Radio (#24) It is a rare treat to get to work with a band that has been at it for over 30 years, and when it comes to The Giant Worm, even their Junior Member has been in the group for at least five.  (The most recent line-up solidified in 2011.)  It’s very … Continue reading Giant Worm Radio (#24)

Ghost Stories II: Aircheck of The Damned (#23) I have to say, I’ve been doing Halloween Radio for years now, but these Ghost Stories episodes are some of the most fun things I’ve ever done for any radio program.  There was something about the idea of people calling in to talk about their own experiences … Continue reading Ghost Stories II: Aircheck of The Damned (#23)
