Surgery 400

As is our usual way, milestone episodes are spotlight episodes. For 400 the spotlight falls on Matt Christensen. A steady presence within the confines of Surgery with both his solo work and as part of Zelienople, he has been especially prolific of late, so we've been listening and marvelling and in a sharing mood. So enjoy!

Surgery 006

A crazy week of prep and rolling out for Record Store Day have made assembling a new episode nigh impossible!! Nigh, I tell you! Instead please enjoy this classic episode from the dark recesses of early years. Yes there is a typo in the graphic! No, there are no track timings! But it is presented with much love. Eagle eyed folk will notice that the last time we put up a "vintage" episode was back in December of last year -- episode 004 -- and now I'm skipping 005. This is because I have this fearful memory of having used it before somewhere back in the archives. If not, we'll add it in next time that life interrupts art. Enjoy.

Surgery 394

It wasn't a particularly hard winter, but there've been these little aftershocks of ice and snow over the last couple of weeks... so wasn't feeling quite Spring just yet. Additionally the mighty Sunn O))) just released a brand new record this past Friday... their first for Sub Pop. It felt right to shove Winter out of the way with a mighty drone. Enjoy.
