Guys, I really love Schlong more than I can say.

A rare MARC & the Horsejerks setlist from the very first Rejected Art Faire. This must be worth something.

Another reason why Mark Twain was the greatest mind of his time.

Sunday Service Mutations Showcase 04, with Herd William, Aesthetic Pulses, Don Haugen and Eater of Hope. Heavy sounds from way out there. Thanks again for a lovely show, The Space Concert Club.

The various acts at the Rejected Art Faire at The Space Concert Club last night. Very good times.

About to wander off in the woods for a spell tomorrow, for most of the week. But I’ll be at The Space Concert Club tonight, rockin’ out to some metal.

Wanna hang, before or during?

Good Hello.

That was the best Rejected Art Faire that we’ve ever had at The Space Concert Club.

Has anyone mentioned the incredible food art that will be available, too? I’m on my way now…

Come see me and Christopher conspire together to close out this show, with an incredible array of artists showing off their work. This is not to be missed, and we’ve drummed up something I’m calling “a surprise” just for the occasion. I’ll also have zines and stuff for trade. See you there.

From Bellingham, we have none other than Fischkopf Sinfoniker performing live on Mid-Valley Mutations tonight. Doom, drone, electronic and beyond, this is a performance you won’t want to miss. Tune in, 10 PM sharp, and kick start your weekend right.

(And, don’t forget about the Rejected Art Faire and Sunday Service Mutations Showcase 04 happening Saturday and Sunday, too!)

Happy happy, Eben Rich.

I miss you. I don’t say it enough, but I do.

How many locals would turn out for a Goth Night here in Salem?

How many pointless comments can I get for not attaching a photo?

I’m most angry about loosing the Nub Nub Song, when you get right down to it.

Listen, rinse, repeat.

I really think this is a good place to start, if you haven’t tried this show out yet.

Some days you just cry and watch Voyager and wish for a paying writing gig.

I wanna trade in all my f-words and swap them for freedoms.

On point.

I need more Porest in my life.

This should be interesting. What are you doing?

Help me develop my new non-profit.

Or just listen to a fun podcast. Either way, I’m cool.

Time for adventure.

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
The caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within.

New podcast episode. Help support our GoFundMe, won’t you?

Camping adventure begins tomorrow. Very little interweb for a while.

Maybe I’ll come back. We’ll see.

‘Merica. #UneasyChairs

A Marla / Austin joint production.

Let’s tear down everything and rebuild this world using art and IKEA shelves.

New podcast, taking aging punks to task.

I suspect a lot of people have already made the obvious jokes about Romero’s passing. Regardless, he made some amazing films, and I’ll miss him. Time to shamble through his catalog mindlessly for a few days.

Double BBQ Sunday! Thanks Shauna & Rob for lunch, and Amy & Thomas for dinner. Kids, backyards, booze.

I’ve eaten outside so much today I don’t think I can go back inside anymore.

Next time I’ll take photos.

Anyone care to have a drink?

Let’s see where today takes us.

Good morning.

Finished my radio show last night and I suddenly got hit with the worst feeling, like I was sick. I couldn’t figure it out, but I barely got out, and went through the typical early sick sensations. As I was getting ready to go home, I opened the station door and was hit with a cold front, that helped tremendously. As it happened, it was so hot in the station I gave myself mild heat stroke performing my show.

Suffering for art. I fell asleep with a headache for all y’all.

I guess I’m doing okay.

Tonight, MKUltramegaphone is in-studio, to perform an audio essay about the state of the economy in our great nation. Join us for “The Fictional Quality of Money,” where we perform live or almost two-hours, and offer some insight into what might be happening inside your wallet. 10 PM, sharp!

I’m a 42 year old man in the year 2017, and part of me still feels like the Ramones wrote the most beautiful music.

I wish you were here. And not in a Pink Floyd kind of way.

Loan them my records.

As a child I saw this book in the library, and I checked it out for almost 10 years solid, from every library near me, well into my high school years. With amazing art by Michael Whelan, this book captured my imagination and made science fiction seem real to me, and I was set on a quest for things about ‘space’ afterward. I loved this book before 2001, before Star Wars or Star Trek, even Douglas Adams was after this. This book was my gateway to mind expansion. And I only ever read through libraries.

We have a brand new show for you tomorrow, with a wall-to-wall live set by MKUltramegaphone performing “The Fictional Quality of Money.” Tune in at 10 PM sharp. Audience Participation is also happening. Play along with us, from your own home. It’s the way to start your Friday Night Right. Hear ya then.

Finished all of Veronica Mars, and the movie.
Why isn’t there more?

I have to give major props to The Hour of Slack. 1600 episodes deep and still better than almost all other radio out there.

The most important message right now.

New Why Did We Do This? You should help us buy a voice over from a “celebrity.” Listen and find out how…

The soundtrack for Spellbound is pretty dope.

So, all the horrible people who do wrong and tell us we are wrong: what do we do when we know, for a fact, that we were right? Do we win a prize? Does something change? Does being right make the world a better place? When we are right, how many minds do we change? What changes in the world that helps those who suffer when we can say, “I told you so?”

In case you missed it earlier. New episode.

After a slight break, we are back on track, and ready to get to our weekly roots. To get you started: here’s a bunch of (smaller) podcasts we all know and love.

Cary Grant is so awesome.

16 minutes in and there’s a young Marilyn Monroe and a dancing monkey. This movie fucking rules

Still funny.

June was fun. Remember when I wanted to be Brian Eno?

I also forgot about the JLA / Peepshow parody they ran back then, too.

1.) Are you going to the show at The Fifty tonight?
2.) Any chance you could give me a ride?

Hobo Maker is getting ready to take Mid-Valley Mutations by force. Tune in at 10 sharp! KMUZ.org.

All of the G20 / Putin news reminds me of the importance of this gem:

“The President is very much a figurehead – he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.”

Douglas Adams.

This is important, dammit.

I completely forgot about the Faulty Towers parody that the Justice League comics ran in the late ’80s.

Oh, nothing. Just watched a Hobo documentary, and started crying uncontrollably.

^ Will make mix tapes and zines for food.

Always taking submissions.

Whirlwind visit with Chris & Rebecca for lunch! Great to see them… but no pics. Next time, for sure.

Thank you America, for my annual explosion-based insomnia.

You always manage to outdo yourself.

I cry when I think about not seeing you again.

I’m an American too. A North American, that is.

Happy Fireworks.

First fire truck at 5 PM seems late, guys. C’mon. I thought we were celebrating.

Summer fun in the summer sun.

Pretty much.

Sweet. A Tuvok episode.

“Sometimes, It’s hard to believe that they are brethren of you and me.
I got an excellent idea,
Build an island where we dump the rest of the world,
Or maybe just you and me.”
