is there an exit?

I have been hard at work sifting through the year in reissues (R thousandz 4 real) to bring you the most mega dope reissue offerings of the year. Reissues that you missed, reissues that you didn't (YEAH RIGHT), reissues to make your heart (&ears) soar.

Until this fine day of LIST UNVEIL arrives, you should investigate this track from a band that may (OR MAY NOT) make the cut. It's pretty damn, grrrl, if ya know what I mean. (and you don't)

soft as snow (but warm inside)

Hi guys!

Today's show explored the theme of decomposition... in reference to processes of weathering (ie. snow/rain/ice/melting) and in the broader sense of the word. (what does this mean? listen to find out!) Nostalgia (though this is inherently a weekly theme by virtue of the content of my show) was also very crucial this week, and I played bands that I have personal nostalgic value for (ie. The Gerbils, Electrelane) and songs that had nostalgia for subject matter or was sonically represented (ie. "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye", "Cowboy", "All Day Long").

You can catch my show from 2-4 PM live or stream the previous week's show anytime at the rainydawg radio website!
