June 20, 2018 Smashin' Transistors 36: SPACE FORCE!!!
The term “Space Force” popped up in the news again a bit this week. All I keep picturing is some lame comic book published by Harvey or Charlton Comics. Either that or one of those comic books some kid down the block gave you and the story ends up having a "Come visit our Sunday School and get saved" message.
A better ending would be where the villain is a brand named squatter and he gets hurled towards the sun. Sure, the universe will smell really gross for a little while after he is burnt to nothing but ash. Then we can clean up and move forward again.
What you'll hear:
Electric Eels - CyclotronGerm House - Bedroom Walls The Eyes - I'm Rowed Out. The Sueves - Drifting Raspberries - Tonight -words from your host-School Damage - Scump Damage 3 Josef K - The Angle Chronophage - 13th Ward Solex - Peppy Solex Jon Spencer - Do The Trash Can.mp3 -words from your host-Private Sector - Survival (Is Killing Me) Johnny Tyler - Devil's Slate Counter Intuits - Edge Construction Paper - Edge of the Sidewalk Kid Chrome - Pall Mall 100's -words from your host-En Attendant Ana - This Could Be Dead Meadow - I'm so Glad Shark Toys - Maze Gino and the Goons - Watch You Shine The Cramps - Mystery Plane-words from your host
