Hello listeners!!! I finally got my voice back from Camp Covid, and I'm ready to bring you 2 hours of earcandy this week. 6-8am at WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio and wrir.org.

Big BIG thanks to DJ Space Cadet Kennedy for hosting the show last week while my voice was a big bucket of frogs.

Because this week's show falls on August 8, I am morally and ethically required to play "Super Disco Breakin'". It's just the way things are. Because nothing sounds quite like an 8 0 8.

Hello listeners! I’m finally out of Camp Covid, but my voice seems to have stayed behind for a few extra days.

Hello friends! Well, your favorite intergalactic space babe has been waylaid by the Summer of ‘24 Covid. So I’ve cobbled together pieces of a few previously aired shows in order to give you one complete Germ-and-Sneeze-Free Breakfast Blend program in the morning. You can hear it from 6-8am at WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio and wrir.org

🦠 Take care of yourselves out there! Covid is making the rounds in Richmond.
🤧 If my experience this time is any indication, you may have symptoms for a few days before your covid test comes up positive.
🗣️(I didn’t get a positive result until the body aches and sneezing started on day 3 of symptoms.)
😷 Mask up when you’re out and about. Don’t forget there are immunocompromised folks out there who are especially at risk. Do your part to protect your neighbors.

Hopefully I’ll see you next week!

Well, I had a whole show lined up for this week, and then Steve Albini went and died. And he was a huge influence on me and my love of a good strong rhythm section. So I'm pivoting, and aside from One Other Very Important Song, I'm going to be playing things recorded/engineered/produced/performed by Steve Albini. Join me 6-8amEDT this Thursday at WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio and WRIR.org

Here he is with one of my favorite celebrity cats. I hope they get to visit again somewhere out in the ether.
