Imagine my embarrassment when taking a glance at the podcast page and realizing that I had forgotten this was new episode week. Seems like spreading myself thinly between two podcasts, one substack page, working on new music, editing old music, and working a full time record shop job at the ramp up point for holiday shopping isn't ideal for productivity. So. As you might expect this is a "vintage" episode, first posted September 6th of 2009. Enjoy.

Sorry this is a day late once again. With all the adjustments having to do with Covid-19, not least of which is an unrelated ear infection or blockage that I’ve been fighting for a week or so now, this episode risked getting lost in the shuffle. But instead it seemed appropriate to go with a “vintage” show from a simpler time; August 4, 2006 to be exact. I’ve updated the artwork for this show from the original because the early “mascot” figure with his mask fit the aesthetic of the day. I hope you’re all staying safe, staying home as much as possible, and enjoying episodes of Surgery. They seem built for this. Cheers
