Surgery 156

So I'm trying to be more diligent this summer than last year which saw a four month gap in posting. My plan is to do at the very least one episode per month May through August, and if at all possible keep to the two-per-month schedule. I'll be posting news on one of my competing distractions over the weekend, so stay tuned. But for THIS EPISODE I put together an off-the-cuff mix of shoegaze related music that spans a couple of decades and a variety of approaches. I didn't have time to get all my links in a row this time around, but I recommend you check out all these artists, 'cos they're awesome (obviously). And so are you guys. Thanks!
