What a wild show last night. When we showed up, the disc players refused to cooperate after the first few songs, meaning we were flying blind and had to improvise, which kept us on our toes. As a result we ended up assembling a greatest hits show featuring some of…
Just two short years ago, Virgil Dickerson’s long running local imprint, Suburban Home, was struggling. A decline in CD sales forced him to scale back and move operations back into his house. Things were looking pretty dire. Then a funny thing happened: People started buying vinly again, and the once…

Another fun show last night. Andy was back from tour and as things worked out, we didn’t have any guests, which meant less talk and more rock. In homage to Hot IQs, who recently announced their impending split, we kicked off the show with three back-to-back songs from the group,…

So I had my first solo flight on Wednesday night. Since the show launched in December, I’ve always had a co-host, even when Andy was conspicuously absent as he was this past Wednesday. Andy couldn’t make it this time because evidently, his band was, like, um, gallivanting across the country…

All right, I gotta admit: It felt a little bit weird at first being back on the air last night after a two-week, self-imposed hiatus. Got sidelined by a nasty sinus/ear/throat infection the first week, while an infected tooth, which later got pulled, conspired with a hockey game and a…
Matador Records tried to pull a fast one by saying the Condo Fucks was a legendary New London, Connecticut trio that returned after a long hiatus from performing. The label also stated that a secretive Hoboken rehearsal was recorded and was released March 24 as the album Fuckbook, which just…
