6/4/07 Show - Lesser-Known Bands of Post-Punk
These were the bands that never could quite catch a break. Even on my show, dedicated solely to them, there were technical problems, blimp problems, blimp attacks, emotionally distant blimps, and a Leprechaun that only I could see. First off, occasionally, when I had a CD queued up but wasn't ready to play it, it would just play by itself anyway. Thanks. That's a good quality in a CD player. The there was the funny little problem where that same funny little CD player, the right side of it, where it would only play one channel of audio. So some of these songs come to you in the magic of mono. For all of you musicians out there hoping to make it, remember that it's not just about how well you write songs or play your instruments or whether or not you have the look or whatever. To be remembered, you also have to be good at curse-avoiding. Or at least, better than these bands were.
But to you the listnener, I hope you won't let a little thing like a gypsy curse stand in the way of your listening. The gypsy's had no homes! How bad could their curses really be? The Leprechaun is a larger issue but as far as I can tell, he is not present on this link to last night's show:

I was in the band Viewfinder. Weird.
Wait, really? What happened to you guys? That Stars on Ice album was wonderful! I've been championing it ever since it came out.
We made a 3 song EP (about a year after that album came out) that never got released. Wanna hear it?
PS - Thanks for playing us.
Oh yeah, I would LOVE to hear it. How come it didn't get released and you guys broke up?
We were young, we didn't know what we were doing (still don't). We made the EP and broke up the band like a month later. There is more to the story of course... will tell you about it another time. How can I get your mailing address? email?
Again this is really weird. I could have sworn I posted a reply with my email address - alexness@toysforbob.com, yet it must have been a dream. But yes, I would LOVE to hear that EP. Thanks so much for the offer. If you'd prefer not to trust the US and their postal service, I could probably find a place online for the mp3s. Thanks again.
Yeah! This is probably this most obscurist, most post-punkist broadcast I've ever heard!!! Great job, and thanks for this awesome show.. I'll keep listening...
