    • I FOUND ALVIN STARDUST'S FIRST UK ALBUM , RECENTLY. I've always liked what little I'd heard , but , apart from a couple of singles , I've never seen anything turn up. In fact , I already found a Shane Fenton (Stardust's previous hit venture in the 60's , where he assumed the identity of his band's previous frontman , who had died suddenly . ) CD comp, years earlier.  The Stardust LP is surprisingly good , at times ,           T Rex/Slade good. His vocal style owes a lot to Gene Vincent and Vince Taylor.    In fact , so did his stage personna.  So , if you like the Chinnichap/Mike Leander sound , and are at all intrigued by Glam's more than casual flirtations with Rockabilly , seek him out.

    • Radio What Wave Playlist May 5/2017   Teenage Rampage On A Senior’s Discount….7” Of Pleasure

       

      Started the show with a visit from Miesha and The Spanks (Miesha and Shawn) who were in town to play at Call The Office on the evening of this show. All the way from Calgary to play in our little town!!

      From there, it was a TON of 7” singles that I really dig! Loads of rare stuff and some of my faves.

       

      1. Miesha and The Spanks…..Stranger….from their brand new self released 7”
      2. Miesha and The Spanks….Motorin’….the flip of the above 7”.
      3. Miesha and The Spanks….Leather Jacket….from the Gods Of Love LP on Transistor 66 Records from a few years back. Around this time we finished with a quick interview of Miesha and Shawn and they are playing tonight at Call The Office.
      4. Sacred Miracle Cave….Summertime….from a 7” on SFTRI from 1989 and a collaboration of sorts as some of the members of Clawhammer are involved in this project.
      5. The Cramps….Drug Train….from 1980 release on Illegal Records
      6. Tex Rubinowitz….Hot Rod Man….from a 1979 7” on Ripsaw Records. Lux Interior once said of Tex, that he gets down so far, there’s nothing but a hiccup between the floor and Tex, to paraphrase.
      7. Martha Hull…Feelin’ Right Tonight….another Ripsaw 7”, this from 1981. Martha was at one time lead vocals for DC’s Slickee Boys.  Martha really lets loose on this one, but you already knew that.
      8. The Customs….Bring My Cadillac Back… On Shake Records out of Cincinnati from around 1980. Features Peter Greenberg on the killer guitar, presently in Barrence Whitfield and the Savages.
      9. Cherry Vanilla….The Punk….1977 release on RCA Records and at one time was on the jukebox at the Cedar Lounge here in London.
      10. Immaculate Hearts…..Sugar Pussy….from a 1990 release on SFTRI and features Freddy Pompeii on lead vocals. Freddy is in hospital in Philly and needs our love and support!
      11. Sydicate Of Sound….Hey Little Girl….from 1966 and on the Bell label. Freddy was in a late version of this combo.
      12. The Yardbirds….Stroll On…from the Blow Up 7” soundtrack for the movie.  Locally the Boy From Nowhere cover this one.
      13. The Nerves….Hanging On The Telephone….from their self released EP from 1976. Blondie later covered this one and had a bit of a hit with it.
      14. Flamin’ Groovies….Shake Some Action….from a 7” on the Line Records label from Germany. Way different than the album version.
      15. Barracudas…..1965 Again…from a 1980 7” on Zonophone Records. Features X Ottawa Jeremy Gluck on lead vocals.
      16. Taxi Boys….I Can’t Kick…from a 7” EP on the Star Rhythm label. This is actually the Real Kids under a different name for some odd reason.
      17. The Dawgs…Shot Of Your Love…..from a 1979 7” on Greenline Records and out of the Boston area.
      18. The Blasters…..American Music…from a 1982 7” on FBEAT Records.
      19. The Fleshtones….The World Has Changed….from a 1981 7” on IRS Records. The Fleshtones celebrate their 40th anniversary of a band this year!!! One of my all time fave live combos, still doing it 40 years on!!!
      20. The Last….She Don’t Know Why….from a 1978 7” on Bomp Records.
      21. Miracle Workers…..Hung Up….from the Moxie EP from 1984.
      22. The Ruts….Babylon’s Burning….from a 1979 7” on Virgin Records.
      23. The Rezillos….I Wanna Be Your Man….from a 1977 7” on Sensible Records. Every Rezillos single I have, has way different versions of the songs as on the longplayer. Just love the bass playing on this one, so powerful!
      24. The Buzzcocks….Boredom….from the Spiral Scratch EP from 1977. This has vocals by Howard Devoto who left the band to form Magazine.
      25. The Crimson Shadows….You Can’t Come Down….from a 1985 7” on Sunlight Records and from Sweden.
      26. Misanthropes….Why Do You Treat Me So Bad….from a late 80’s 7” on Get Hip Records.
      27. The Cynics….Painted My Heart….from a 1985 7” on Dionysus Records. This is the only Cynics record without longtime vocalist Micheal Kastelic.
      28. The Cunts….. Date With Disaster….from a 1982 7” on Disturbing Records and from Chicago.

       

       

      Ran outta time, certainly not records as we had planned to play many more. We’ll play a few more on next week’s show and we have Shane from Coaching For Sarah as a visitor next week.

       

      Big thanx to Ando for letting me play with the content rules for one week only, Huge Thanx to Miesha and the Spanks for taking the time to come on air live and yammer about their show tonight at Call The Office. And thanx for all the emails, facebook messages, phone calls and Heys!!! That’s what makes it all worthwhile!

    • Radio What Wave Playlist April 28/2016….Steven R. Stunning as Special Guest

       

      First show in a coupla weeks, we had a special guest in Mr Steven R. Stunning, frontman, CEO of longlasting local combo 63 Monroe, a band that has helped put London Ontario on the map. Shoulda looked at my notes as there were a coupla questions on the agenda that got missed, but we went in way different directions than originally planned. Free form radio in the modern age only happens on college airwaves….and we had a TON of fun!

       

      1. The New Christs….Born Out Of Time….played the Sonics Records 7” French press of this one and challenged the Boy From Nowhere to cover this one!! Had to get some anger out of my system due to some shit that happened today and no better way than this and the next blast o’sonic splash and free form vocalization courtesy the Boy Wonder Rob Younger. Grrrr!
      2. The New Christs….No Next Time….flip of the above and the dueling guitars on this one always slay me…..so nice!
      3. Downbeat 5….Kicked Around….from their debut CD dating around 2003 and on SFTRI. Singer Jen Rassler just lets loose and the anger leaves my system….whew!! Guitar crunch courtesy of DMZ vet JJ Rassler…maybe you remember him from the Queers. And he was probably a Lyre at one time or another as well. But I feel much better now.
      4. The Hippies….Nuclear Disaster….from their only 7”, early 80’s and from London Ontario. This one went out to musicologist Jesse Locke who is looking for this record. And 2 of these guys are in The Boy From Nowhere…..who happen to be playing tonight at the SOHO here in London Ontario.
      5. The Hippies….Can Teens….from the cassette, Slippery’s Club Hits, that came with What Wave 24 and also goes out to Jesse, as he hadn’t heard this one yet.
      6. 63 Monroe….At The Boot….from the same cassette as above and recorded in 1980 at the Cedar Lounge here in town and the intro to Mr Steven R. Stunning who got caught in the Tim’s lineup due to exam week happening here on campus.
      7. 63 Monroe….You Can’t See It….from the brand new Jeff LP. For late drummer Jeff Depew who did his last ever drumming on this recording.
      8. 63 Monroe….Oh No You Again…. As above. Steven informed me this is a Rolling Stones song. And he did all the proper paperwork for this release.
      9. 63 Monroe….Luxury….as above. And this is where Steven found out that the track order is incorrect on the LP sleeve.
      10. 63 Monroe….TV Is Brain Damage…. As above.
      11. 63 Monroe….Tickle Whisper Kiss…. As above.
      12. 63 Monroe….Hijack Victim….from a live recording 11/26/2016 at the Dawghouse here in London. Recording by longtime CHRW host John Gardi, The NiteBat.
      13. 63 Monroe….Battle Of New Orleans…. As above and this went out to local scribe Robert Pegg.
      14. 63 Monroe….Weekend Punx…. As above.
      15. 63 Monroe….Waiting…..from a live recording from Easter 1980 at the Cedar Lounge. I taped this one from the radio back in 1980 and it may have been recorded by Grammy winner and former CHRW host Peter Moore. He was known as Simon Less during his stint here many years ago.
      16. 63 Monroe….Johnny B Goode…. As above.
      17. 63 Monroe…..Road Runner…. As above
      18. 63 Monroe….Bad Boy…. As above.
      19. NFG….. After….. from a recording supplied by Robert Gliddon, bass player for NFG, the pre-cursor to 63 Monroe. Probably from 1979.
      20. NFG….House Of The Rising Sun…. as above.
      21. NFG….Give ‘Em Up… as above.
      22. 63 Monroe……Punk Rock Goalie….from the recent Jeff LP
      23. 63 Monroe…..Horizontal Hold….from the Hijack Victim LP on Rave Records out of Italy.

       

      Big Thanx to Steven R. Stunning for taking the time to join us and answer a load of stupid questions, live on air. It was a blast, and judging by the feedback I’ve received so far, people had fun listening to us old farts yammer about things long gone!

       

      Thanx for all the crazy phone calls, emails, facebook messages and texts!!

    • Radio What Wave Extra Long Show Playlist April 7/2017

       

      We started this show at 3:30 (Thanx to our Program Director Ando for giving us the extra time!) and the first half hour was pretty much all Uranus recordings. Uranus recordings as they will be inducted into the Jack Richardson London Music Hall Of Fame this Sunday. The show is happening at the London Music Hall, starts at 7PM and is a free show! Hope to see lots of you out at this event!

      Then around 4PM we did the world radio premier of 63 Monroe’s latest LP, Jeff, which is dedicated to the late Jeff Depew, drummer in many of London’s finest bands over the last 20 or so years!

      Then we had a special guest in Dave Dysart, guitarist for UIC who are returning to London Ontario for the first time in about 25 years! Dave is the new guy, but familiar to most of us via The Supreme Bagg Team and he has worked with most of the members of UIC in other projects over the years. We yammered like 2 old farts after having way too many beers and had a lot of laughs. Learned a few things too!! UIC will be at Call The Office on Saturday night with Boy From Nowhere and Myrtle Earle.

       

      1. Uranus....Highschool….recorded live at the Embassy Hotel 3/22/1982 and broadcast on CHRW. Probably recorded live by Peter Moore.
      2. Uranus….Route 66….live recording from a car show in Toronto and broadcast on CFNY, probably 1980.
      3. Uranus….Around And Around….recorded live at Kellys Boogie Parlour and broadcast over the airwaves of CKSL here in London….early 80’s? Kellys later became Bullwinkles, which became Hard Times, then a mall and much later Salt Lounge and even later….
      4. Uranus….Maybe Baby…..recorded live at Call the Office 10/27/12 as part of the Graphic Underground: London 1977-1990 art show and extravaganza.
      5. Uranus…..Secret Agent…. As above.
      6. Uranus….You’re So Square….from the 1980 Trilogy LP You’re So Square….this is the song that made top 10 across Canada and number 3 on CKSL in 1980.
      7. Uranus….53 Buick….from the You’re So Square LP
      8. Uranus….Along The Watchtower…. As above.
      9. 63 Monroe….Punk Rock Goalie….from the brand new LP called Jeff, for late drummer Jeff Depew. This is most likely the radio debut as the record just came out this past Wednesday when 63 Monroe played at Rumrunners as part of the Jack Richardson London Music week. Also on the bill that eve was The Mongrels and Black Donnellys.  Great turnout and a really fun eve of music!
      10. UIC….Pushed In To The Hole….from the brand new Wiseman Sessions that came out on Yeah Right Records. The record release party is happening Saturday night at Call The Office and at this point, we were joined by Dave Dysart, guitar player for UIC.
      11. Boy From Nowhere….. Southward Bound….recorded live at the Dawghouse, 11/26/16 and the Boy are one of 2 (the other Myrtle Earle) combos opening up for UIC on Saturday night.
      12. Boy From Nowhere….Back In The USA….. as above.
      13. The Supreme Bagg Team…. Crankin’ With Elvis….from the Mr Garager’s Neighbourhood LP on OG Records from 1989. The Bagg Team was a band that Dave Dysart was in and they appeared on a couple of What Wave compilation cassettes as well. In my opinion, my fave tune by these guys and this shoulda been a hit!!
      14. The Supreme Bagg Team….20th Century Dog Faced Boy….from their only longplayer, Stereo on OG Records.
      15. UIC….Light It And Fly….from the Wiseman Sessions LP.
      16. UIC….Outta Hand….from the Wiseman Sessions LP.
      17. UIC….Green Lady…..from the Wiseman Sessions LP.
      18. UIC…2 + 2….from a rarities CD that Dave brought and most likely from the Accusonic demos from 1985.
      19. UIC….Blade In The Back…. As above.
      20. UIC…..Who’ll Start The End….. as above.
      21. UIC….Cure The War…. As above.
      22. UIC…..Our Garage….recorded live at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto 9/16 and the only recording we have of Dave in the band.  Dave Dysart has only played 2 shows so far with UIC, but as he says, rehearsed a TON of times!
      23. UIC….Crop Dusting….live recording from Call The Office 3/16/1985. This one goes out to regular listener Mike Burton as he phoned to ask if UIC was going to play this tune at the show.
      24. UIC…..Shamrock Bang…. As above.
      25. UIC…..I Got Nerve…. As above.

      30. UIC…..You Drive Mad…. As above.
      31. UIC...I’m Alive… as above
      32. The Chickens….Chicken Ride….from the Prepare To Plug In CD from 2000. 4/5 of this band was UIC and this same 4/5 are in the present UIC…..make sense?   Ken Mikalauskas was the other guitar player in The Chickens,  he moved out east and Dave Dysart came in when UIC reformed to do one show a year ago. Since then, they’ve played one more and Saturday marks their 3rd show!
      33. The Chickens….White Squirrel Town…. As above. We played this song as UIC will most likely be playing this on Saturday night.
      34. UIC….Rich Kids….from the Wiseman Sessions and we had to fade this out as we more than ran out of time.

       

      Huge Thanx to Dave Dysart for taking the time to come onair and yammer about UIC and things from days gone by. Hope you listeners had as much fun as I did!!!

       

      Sunday is the annual Jack Richardson London Music Awards happening at London Music Hall. Uranus will be inducted into the hall of fame that night and play a couple of songs live. We're nominated in one of the categories....and it's free!   See you on Sunday night!

    • March 25, 2017 8:38 AM CDT
    • Radio What Wave Playlist March 24/2017. Special Guest Al The Killer Coulter

       

      1. TVD….TVD…from their debut CD, Salvation Through Distraction and they are playing tonight at the St Regis Hotel and they will be celebrating the guitarists wife’s birthday, so just about anything might happen!
      2. The Fiends…..30 Something…..local combo who will be playing live to air on next week’s edition of Radio What Wave!!
      3. Blasting Fondas….Saddest Excuse….from a brand new 7” on Beluga Records and from Sweden.
      4. Tommy and The Rockets….Get Ready....another brand new 7” on Beluga Records and these guys come from Denmark.
      5. Dany Laj and the Looks….Defending Champ….from the brand new Alive and Kicking CD and they are on a North America tour right now! We dedicated this song to Al The Killer Coulter, London pro wrestler who joined us later in the show.
      6. Baby Giant…..Summer’s Almost Gone….local talent featuring Shawn McDonald (and his brother) who was in Radio What Wave faves The Fine Print and many many other bands over the years.
      7. Pacanomad…..Shot The Gun….from the recent Take It Slow CD and they will be playing tonight at Aeolian Hall along with….
      8. Julian Taylor Band…..Coke Bottle Candle….from the recent Desert Star CD and from Toronto.
      9. Chuck Berry….Bio….from the LP of the same name where Chuck tells the story of his life. It’s a slow bluesy little number and really shows off some of Chuck’s guitar picking.
      10. Chuck Berry….Maybelline….from The Great Twenty-Eight double LP. This is the song that started it all and set up the prototype for the hits to follow. Believe it or not, this came out in 1955!!! On this particular recording is the genius piano playing of Johnny Johnson (who incidentally was in London about 10 years ago), the rock solid bass playing of song writing legend Willie Dixon, rock solid drumming of Jasper Thomas and soon to be a legend maraca shaker Jerome Green (he helped create the Bo Diddly Beat!).  Absolute killer lineup that set up your basic rock’n’roll band sound that still rules to this day (at least in my books!). Can’t say enough about Johnny Johnson as it was his band that Chuck joined to start it all off. Without those essential piano licks, who knows what would have happened!

      If you only want to get one Chuck Berry LP for your collection. The Great Twenty-Eight is the one to get….all the hits from 1955 right up to 1965. It’s on the Chess label (Chuck’s original record label) and comes as a double LP with a gatefold sleeve with listing of all the musicians on each track (essential for geeks like me) and a few liner notes.

      1. Hiroshima Hearts….The Well….from their debut CD and they will be playing at the SOHO as an afternoon show on Sunday.
      2. Pack AD…..Blackout….from the Funeral Mixtape LP from 2007.
      3. Lauren Agnelli and Dave Rave….Can’t Stop The Rain….from the Confetti CD from 1997 and goes out to Lauren who celebrated a birthday this week! Lauren was a real early contributor to the NYC punk scene and went under the pseudo name of Trixie A Balm in writing for such legendary magazines as Cream, NY Rocker, Village Voice and many others. Later, she formed The Washington Squares, a folk type band that were nominated for a Grammy.
      4. The Secrets….All The Girls In The World….from the OPM CD called Teenage Rampage. Late 70’s Toronto garage/frat combo that were way out of step with the rest of the punk movement at the time. This one goes out to singer Freddy Pompeii who is in the hospital in Philadelphia fighting cancer. We send our best to Freddy!!!!
      5. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners…..Blast Off….from the brand new re-ish of the 1987 Hot’n’Cold LP. Can’t say enough good things about this band, Ray and the boys put on legendary shows back in the late 80’s, even came to London at least 3 times and left some great memories!!
      6. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners….Worryin’ Kind….as above, just couldn’t play one song from this long time fave LP of mine!
      7. Bloodshot Bill and The Hubcaps…..Touch Me….from the Crazy Fever CD that came out in 2003. This is prior to Bill going solo and touring the world on what seems like a non-ending cycle! If Bloodshot Bill comes to your town, he’ll put on a wild and sweaty show that you won’t forget!
      8. Catl….Gotta Thing For You….from the Soon This Will All Be Gone CD from a couple years back. Another band you gotta check out live if they ever come to your town! They’ve put on many a killer show with Bloodshot Bill, but recently they’ve been doing more and more trips way down south to Clarksdale, where the legends say the blues all started!
      9. Foreign Objects….Wrestling Is Real….from the Not Too Cool CD and recorded in 1981. This Boston area combo did a lot of wrestling and television related tunes back in that time period and this one is to start the wrestling portion of the show.
      10. Foreign Objects….Rock and Wrestling Roll…. As above.
      11. Tijuana Bibles….Custom Made Man…from the Custom Made CD and there might be a Leather Upper involved in this project!. Right about this time, Al The Killer Coulter arrived to talk wrestling and about the huge show happening on Sunday night at the London Music Hall. SMASH Wrestling is returning to London and they finally have a big enough venue to fit the people in comfortably! I’ve gone to several SMASH shows here in London and they’ve all been good entertainment value for the money. There’s always a few guys from the big leagues and this time is no exception as Colt Cabana, Cody Deaner, Tyson Dux, Davey Richards and many other big names will be at the show. Al layed it on the line and told us what he was going to do the young punks he and his partner Mr Atlantis were facing! I wouldn’t want to be one of those young punks!! Al also mentioned there were going to be a few surprises, but wouldn’t give out any hints…
      12. Fred Blassie….Pencil Neck Geeks…..from the Rhino LP from the late 70’s and a special request by Al The Killer Coulter…..believe me, whatever Al wants, he gets!!!
      13. The Dictators….Borneo Jimmy….New York New York CD on ROIR Records and Al was talking about working with Jimmy Snuka so this kind of fit in.

       

      Big Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!! And a HUGE thanx to all that came up to say HEY at the London Record Show last weekend!!! That was a blast!

      And a HUGE THANX to Al The Killer Coulter for making time to chat with us on air about all things wrestling. If you haven’t figured it out, I’m a huge wrestling fan for Ring Of Honor and Lucha Underground wrestling leagues!

       

      Next week, we’ve got a live to air to kick things off as The Fiends are going to be playing live just after 4PM if everything works out technically! There’s a TON of work that goes on in the background to make these things happen and I’d like to thank our tech crew in advance as they are the best!!

      17. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants…..Hate Van….from a 7” On Speed City Records and they are playing with Flesh Rag Saturday night at the Richmond Tavern.
      18. Paul James Band…..Trespasser….from a 1980 7” on Lick’n’Stick Records. Paul James Band were at the London Music Club last night and were just amazing!!! Smiles all around as everyone had a great time in the packed and sweaty club! Trivia, bass player Mike Theodore is the brother of Robbie Rox, the infamous singer from Toronto.
      19. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons….Scars Of Love….from the cassette Slippery’s Club Hits that came with What Wave 24 and we’ll have copies of this with us at the London Record Show on Sunday March 19th at Centennial Hall.
      20. Coaching For Sara…… Stick With You…..from the 2/10/2017 live to air on Radio What Wave. Catch these guys live if you can as they put on a great powerpop show.
      21. Dahlmanns……Play It….from a brand new 7” on Beluga Records and from Norway.
      22. Rory Gallagher…..Secret Agent Man…..from the Calling Card LP from 1976. On the Chrysalis Record label and features keyboardist Lou Martin, who seems to really propel the band with his frantic keyboard style.
      23. Rory Gallagher…..Souped Up Ford….from the Against The Grain Lp from 1975 and as above.  Ireland’s finest guitarist and the master of the Stratocaster!!!
      24. Matt Lucas…..Movin’ On….from a 7” given to me by Jack Whiteside, guitarist/vocalist for Uranus. Jack worked as Matt’s guitarist for a summer, a learning experience that Jack still uses to this day.
      25. Rockin’ Bobby….Yup Yup Boogie……this one played for about 10 seconds and then the CD quit…..this is 2 shows in a row where this has happened…..both were home burned CD’s.
      26. Leroi Brothers….Darlene Darlene…. From the Lucky Lucky Me Lp from 1985 and features Evan Johns on guitar and vocals. Evan passed away last weekend, way too young!! One heck of a guitar picker and really nice guy whenever we met him.
      27. Evan Johns…..Rollin’ Through The Night….from the LP of the same name from the mid 80’s and recorded in 1982. This record was released on Alternative Tentacles as Jello Biafra was a huge fan of Evan’s! This is probably my fave Evan Johns LP as every track is an absolute gem of a song! Opener Vacation Time is such a classic song and brings the whole element of a vacation out in its lyrics! If you want to peruse the musical library of Evan Johns, this is a great place to start!
      28. Evan Johns…..If I Had My Way….from the self titled LP from 1986 on Jungle Records. I have many records on the Jungle label and all are great rock’n’rollers.
      29. Julian Taylor Band….Heard Good Things….from the recent Desert Star CD and these guys will be at Aeolian Hall on Saturday March 25th. Congrats to Laurie Hamilton for winning the tickets for the show we gave away!

      32. Downbeat 5….Radiates That Charm…..from their self titled CD on SFTRI from 2003 and from Boston.
      33. Hiroshima Hearts…..14 Floors…from their debut CD and we had to cut this out as we went way over time…..

       

      Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!!!!!!   Back again next week, might even have a real pro wrestler on the show as there’s wrestling coming to London next weekend!

      We’ll be at the London Record Show on Sunday March 19th downstairs at Centennial Hall from 11 to 5 with loads of records, CD’s, ephemera, etc ! Come say HEY!!

    • Hi everybody, we're the Tasty Wangs!  We're new to the group and just wanted to say hello and that we're glad to be here.

    • April 5, 2017 11:13 AM CDT
    • music can also be given away for free,

      https://myspace.com/mahditaquacorekb

      to circumvent taxes.

    • April 5, 2017 2:50 AM CDT
    • One type of law is the "necessity law,"

      an on the books concension over that which democratic republics during their evolution, because of fascism, or even because of libertarian individual foolishness, have promoted to be essential to public wellbeing. A Communist sentiment of For the greater social good.

      Necessity laws invade free will,

      are advertised to promote and enable freedom as their only intended purpose.

      Drug laws, and laws which out of paranoia invade the rights of Muslims and other kinds of dissidents. 

      Tax dollars may fund necessity law institutions and laws, such as Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Acts which permit the arrest of nearly any kind of Muslim, and the DEA. I wouldn't want to fund the arrest,

      in proposing solutions: telepathic economy which exchanges dollar for dollar taxed income over to a 1/10th tithed to the Jihading Sufi / Buddhist global system. 1/10th of the income scientific method alloted to most effective attempted utopian military evolution, all property switched over to an anarchist underground economy.

      An anarchist slack economy may also be proposed, wherein no % of income is dedicated to anything other than the discretion of the individuals consenting to dollar for dollar tax free exchange, and bartering. And social attempts to induce global slack from disciplined evolving.

      For bands that cannot use other kinds of economic systems, promotional advice, including on art patronage resources? Stories of having lived as such bands legally?

    • I was wondering if anyone here had any saved Hot Slop podcasts?

      My computer recently pooped out and I lost a lot of stuff, that podcast being a main thing. I've tried to find it through Google searches, soulseek and even torrents, but i've come up with nothing.

      Alternatively, if any on knows of any current soul podcasts that are similar, i'd love some recommendation!
