PROGRAM 27: OSCILLATORS, COSMIC SING-A-LONGS & BASEBALL [10.04.12]

Back on the air in our regular format of totally batshit disorganization. We've got baseball, we've got tape noise, we've got plinky indie rock and skronky horns. And it's all tied together with a tattered twine of logic that only a bird could understand. The last bit of this show felt truncated (I was kind of hoping Uncle Matt would come super late). So I might actually repeat a song or two at the top of PROGRAM 28 before going where I meant to go had I kept going.

PROGRAM 29: VOTE FOR GROUSE!: OR, SAINTS AND SANDIES COMING TOGETHER [11.01.12]

Election day is almost here, much of the East coast is under water, and Halloween has come and gone without the Mighty Grouse making you listen to 15 versions of the Monster Mash. You come to us for satisfaction, and instead we give you these sadistic candles: a hurricane set, an atheist DJ acknowledging a Christian holiday, and a new track from Lello Boscoverde called "93 Years of Disappointment" (an invective to the Great Communicator). But what's really important is that we all Come Together, no matter what happens this Tuesday. And I think we can all unite over the majesty of Frederic Rzewski's tribute to the rioters of Attica (last track! show highlight!).
