Tune in tonight for a special show, dedicated to Tim Ramage. Tim was the singer of 80's Memphis bands Pazuzu and Slit Wrist, but he was also my first roomate and a dear friend I kept in touch with over the 30 years or so since we moved to different parts of the country.

There are 2 bands I can't play without thinking of Tim. Fang and Necros. Well, tonight, I will be playing a bunch of his favorite bands. Join me from 9-11 central time at wevl.org to listen online for free. If you can't make it tonight, go to WEVL.org tomorrow or sometime over the next couple weeks and click on programs/archive/against the grain. You can listen to the last 2 weeks' shows on demand.

Also, if you are in the Memphis area, stop by Black Lodge Video at 405 N Cleveland on Sunday, May 21st for a memorial event. Beth put together an incredible event in Seattle to commemorate his life. I was honored to be asked to be the first speaker.
