In this episode I talk about shows I've recently attended, including AC/DC with Foo Fighters, Kevin Smith, and Squeeze with Adam Ant and Haircut 100. I had fun finally doing an episode. Now it's your turn!

Time got away from me this week, so I don't have a time index, but enjoy the following links. The songs in this one are from my UPCOMING record, so keep an eye on Bandcamp!

Thanks!

In this episode, I pay tribute to Dolly Parton and Tim Curry (with a nod to Peter Cullen, as well). I don't feel like this is enough. But it's something. Please enjoy.

No outline this week--just listen. The only song in it is the theme song, which is here: https://derekbrink.bandcamp.com/track/bite-the-habanero-single

Thanks!

In this slightly delayed episode, I start by yelling at you about being frustrated with cover bands for a little bit...then I review new music by Punch Brothers, The Mountain Goats, New Pornographers, Joe Jackson, and Metric. This episode goes a lot of places. Maybe you'll like some of those places. No way to tell until you click it.
