For the medium-range radar, I'm DJing along with WPRB's Robin at Records Forever (Philly) on August 20th. An exciting opportunity to witness the technical ineptitude I normally reserve for the radio. 😉

Not-so-guilty-pleasure vinyl conquest: newly-pressed edition of Monster Magnet's "Superjudge" LP, which seriously fried my brain when it first dropped in 1993. If you believe that Mudhoney merged the chaos of Black Flag with Stooges and Blue Cheer influences, it's not much of a stretch to see how Monster Magnet paired Sabbathoid riffing with Hawkwind, Budgie, and Jersey hesher vibes.

Singer/guitarist Dave Wyndorf was at his cosmic soothsaying best on this record, which earned mostly tepid praise for seeming too metal for the ascending grunge phenomenon. Nevertheless, a cassette promo copy (the label sent a box of them to WPRB) was a constant presence in the dash-mounted tapedeck of my car that summer, providing endless soundtracking to the kind of determined aimlessness that defined my early 20s.

“Spine of God” (their debut album) was cool, but harder to immediately lock in with. 1995’s “Dopes to Infinity” broke them into the mainstream with the dirtbag boogiefuck single “Negasonic Teenage Warhead”, but I’d moved on to other things by then. Still hailed as a big influence on the modern stoner rock scene, “Superjudge” is where they got it all perfect.

I spoke at a local library's zine-making event last night and was delighted by the whiteboard sign they made for me. Also, hats off to Nicole and the whole SBPL staff for running such a great event and attracting so many young creatives to the cause!

Great day at the Princeton Zinefest, hawking old issues of various WPRB zines alongside my pal Matt Warwick from WFMU, who was handing out the latest issue of LCD. Met a bunch of cool listeners, donors, and random creative weirdos. Support your local copy shop! #WPRB #WFMU #zines #princeton

I don’t *always* spend my afternoons in an over air-conditioned equipment room at a broadcast facility, but when I do, I remember to take a short video of all the pretty lights.

(Sound down, loud whooshing noise.)

My Pal Jon Solomon is in the midst of his annual 25-hour holiday show on WPRB, which is of course the greatest way on Earth to experience the best Christmas songs you've never heard.
