    I’ve only been watching for about 2yrs I think, but I think it would be cool to hear the host “what’s in my bag” sorry I don’t know her name, but I’m sure she would pick some great stuff from interviewing so many great artist through the years

      It's good, especially the last two tracks but I have to say, it feels a little rushed compared to the first two albums which are more consistent IMO

    What I love (among many loves) about this series: Every so often, the guests resurface past music that were otherwise buried in our memories (in this case, blast from the past song 'Moody' by ESG).

      Right?! Also, the best segments are either (a) full of absolute gems of albums or (b) full of surprising inspirations you'd never have expected. This one has both.

    She played a really small venue in san jose and played mostly all of Titanic rising and some from front row seat. It was 15$ and she sounds incredible live.

    Waiting for the woman in the band to write a book about 'private press' Trucker Driver records. Got the book 'Enjoy The Experience: Homemade Records 1958-1992' ordered back in the day in Vancouver Washington. Literally $192 used on Amazon right now. Very few people in real life are going to know about this/or appeal to. Those in the know, know. Probably found it though Rough Trade books listing.

    I put in book requests at both Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington libraries for the Fear Stalks the Land!: A Commonplace Book. Vancouver Washington is actually more legit w/ offering 5 book buying requests a month VS. Portland's current 2-a-month. Portland sometimes's won't buy stuff, Vancouver always buys everything. Grew up in Vancouver hating it, being the only punk rocker. These days living in Portland, it doesn't seem too bad.
    Never listened to this band, 90% or so good picks. I like post punk, ha ha ha.
