This little laptop has been through a lot - its about 9 years old and roughly 80% of our podcasts have been done using this little workhorse. Doubt I'll ever get rid of it, it's been a tried and true piece of equipment, dare I say, family.

On this day in 1984 The Killing Moon was released. "I’ve always said that The Killing Moon is the greatest song ever written. I’m sure Paul Simon would be entitled say the same about Bridge Over Troubled Water, but for me The Killing Moon is more than just a song" Ian McCulloch

"When we came back the producer had found this twangy thing on tape that I’d done tuning the guitar. He insisted it go in the song. It became the best-known guitar line in our entire catalogue" Will Sergeant

"I just sat bolt upright in bed with this line in my head: “Fate up against your will. Through the thick and thin. He will wait until you give yourself to him.” You don’t dream things like that and remember them. That’s why I’ve always half credited the lyric to God"

Found it! Wanted to edit this up for Christmas, but found it too late for that. You old buddy Surfingtrucker circa 1988. How about those acid wash jeans? Dumpy little hotel in Hampton Beach, NH rented their kitchette rooms out dirt cheap during the winter months.

So we're sticking with our Walkman logo for the podcast - great responses to our original post asking for input. Sometimes playing with AI is fun, but the general consensus is our current logo best suits the feel of the podcast. Just for fun, here's a few of the other ideas AI came up with based on my input. It still has a ways to go in terms of spelling, lol.

We'll never know specifics - once they determined it was natural causes, the coroner said that concluded their involvement.

The Irish singer-songwriter, known for her powerful, evocative voice, died at 56 at a residence in London in July.

My daughter found this - this is where the podcast had its humble beginnings. Pre-internet I used to make Christmas mix tapes for friends and family. Once the internet came around I would do it digitally, and then kept going from there.
