Haven't posted to my site in a while. Lots going on - got a tape deck and cassettes for my mixtape project, working on a fake EP, and figuring out my spring equinox web radio stream. Everything is in progress.

Just found/read the last issue of Drop D Magazine from June 1998, Vancouver. Particularly enjoyed the Inbred's show review where the writer talks about the lack of tightness and musicianship in then opening band (now Canadian indie rock supergroup) The New Pornographers.

This is probably ready enough.

Read on someone's blog that gen Z and millennials are going offline/analog this year. I can believe that listening to a skippy discman without shockwave is a solution for something, but I don't know what.

Was looking at recent shortwave radio pirate broadcasts and found this Canadian one - right on, unc.
