Greetings folks,
Hope you're all doing good. November already? Jeebs. Still mostly pouring down here, which, combined with some still-higher-temperatures-than-usual is making the surroundings seem pretty damn green and soggy, like overdone spinach. Still, hoping for a few gaps in the downpours to allow us to scoot dryly from venue to venue during Le Guess Who next weekend, we shall see. In my absence, it will be the right honerable @saucer who will be stepping up here and doing the do, major thanks to him for helping out!
Back to regular programming, it's @EastVanHalen who's got the frisbes, or is it her kitten Gracie? Let's find out...
"Seeing as how Gracie and I are co-hosting this week, and seeing as how Gracie is as hockey-obsessed as I am (kitten, television, pucks, faaaaascination), I thought I’d bookend my previous Nomeansno selection with one of their alter ego acts, The Hanson Brothers, and their 1992 hockey-themed album “Gross Misconduct.” It was not to be. Do I have a copy? I thought I did, but no. Could I get one? Maybe, if I had realized before Saturday that my copy was missing. Andt all my stalwart punk rawk download blogs came up short.
So I’ve totally pivoted, for no discernible reason, to this weirdo nostalgia album. Weirdo for me, anyhow - who the fuck would think that I’d have unreservedly loved some eight (?) track nonsense recorded in a basement by a bunch of drunken Dayton schoolteachers? But I did, and I probably still do - haven’t had it out for a spin in a few years, we’ll have to see how it fares today. They have a weirdish rep and some weird fans - “I’m not going down to the floor, it’s too…drunk bro,” insisted the nice lady I met in the record label’s box the last time I saw them play - but I thought that the people from Brazil who passed around the mixed drinks they’d smuggled in in half-flattened 2-litre soda bottles were pretty awesome, so I smuggled them into the afterparty."
Right then, download's here, stream's below:
See you 20:00 GMT tonight.
