Episode 17

      Although I was mightily tired and feeling under the weather, I still think I managed to put together an interesting show for this morning. In hindsight, I must be on a flange-y guitar kick right now, given that three songs featured that sound (Siouxsie and the Banshees, Magazine and Killing Joke--must be the Cure deluxe edition reissues I’ve been listening to lately). In fact, those same three are among some of my favorite post-punk tracks from the decade. And dig those now-dated gated drums on the Killing Joke track. Just hearing it again almost makes me nostalgic. Almost.
     Otherwise, those lucky enough to know how to get their hands on the podcast know the drill: pour your favorite libation, light some candles, grab your headphones, dim the lights and let the sounds flow into you.
As for the rest of you, well, you should know me better....
