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!

Busy holiday week messed up my schedule. Talk to you later in the week!

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.

No new episode this week--things are BUSY in my world! But this is the 8 minute version of what the show would've been this week anyway. Enjoy, and ill have a full episode for you again soon! Thanks!

In this episode, I don't bother with segments and end up just ranting about Sammy Hagar, the government, my new laptop, and recording music. Why weren't there segments? Laziness. Why were those the topics? Shut up.

Enjoy!
