BUZZKILL!

Man oh man...things are really crashing & burning here. I originally was going to say that I screwed up recording the show this week, then I found it on the hard drive - but it DOESN'T EVEN MATTER because the bandwidth is gone for the month. With two weeks of shows left. Fuck!

So I guess I might look into getting more of that bandwidth stuff, but in the meantime you're going to have to amuse yourselves...try setting up a microphone & saying "hello? hello?" into it for 5 minutes, then play something with a wanky guitar solo. It's a winning combination.

Black Sand 1/10/06 w/ guest DJ Greg Petrovato

We had a special guest dj for this installment of Black Sand: Greg from Feathers came by with a crate of rare wax, which somehow escaped being harmed by the steady flow of drool coming from my mouth. Now there's a pleasant image for you! The addition of another person to the show also changed the dynamic from the usual Abbott & Costello schtick to full blown 3 Stooges hijinks. Maybe it would have been called "Microphone Morons".

Also, I blanked on your name during the show (I have a "slight" memory problem), but thanks to Derek for the Plastic Ax 45 he sent...an expression of pure generosity unfamiliar to those of us who live in the sometimes feral & paranoid world of record collecting. I highly encourage people to send me free stuff. Doesn't have to be records...food (pies especially), funny masks...uh, I guess that's it.

Artists: Punch, Toad, The Waters, Merv Griffin (most life affirming track ever), Vinegar, Pacific Sound, an ugly hippie-bashing segment from the film "Electric Shades Of Grey", Tarkus, Garybaldi, etc.

Black Sand 1/3/06

Conrad "Slackistran" forgot his homework this week, so I got to drive. Which means lots of hard rock (naturally), but some surprises - most notably the steel drum/psych hybrid of Victor Brady's "Glass House". Don't let that scare you...

Artists: A To Austr (pictured), Electric Sandwich, Estes Brothers, Rick Saucedo, Wind, Stone Harbour, etc.

The Horror!

The time I have long feared is upon us...all mp3s are going offline except for the current week, usually posted a day or two after the show. Of course the cd-rs are available. Heh heh heh. No, actually the bandwidth is maxed out. If you know what bandwidth means, you'll understand. I know I probably haven't said this before, but please save the mp3s to your hard drive, don't stream them from the site...this will help things a lot. So...yeah. My most humble and heartfelt apologies.
