We celebrate it with the new and the old hoping that we can learn something from everything that has come before us. They call this history.

Show #18 Fantasy Shotgun Trip
N.J. is flooding, people are being evacuated from Trailerparks inWoodbridge, and us, in-between some shop-vac action, were able to get down to business in the Grandview studios basement and record this podcast. I truly noticed the water at first from a little shock while touching turntable number one.

Show #14 Live Rock mp3 PurgeThe best way to experience music is live and in person, second best is on album and well third best is through some type of media; at least in my opinion. For this cast we are eternally grateful to the rbally.net types who go out of their way to post and share some of the best indie and alternative music of our times (1960-00's). So this cast is dedicated to his persistence and taste for which a lot music would be most impossible to come by in particular since so much quality is l ...

Show #13 War all the timeI thought it would be appropriate to put a war theme show together for the current political climate. It's all relative right? For one thing the most disturbing thing is more U.S. soldiers have died this past month(10/06) than any time since the invasion began. The stranger thing is that once I started searching for music that would fit the "War all the time theme" I started to see it going in all sorts of directions, so I included some timely tunes as well as some ...
