This episode highlights a few things... longer tracks, for one... collaborations, for another... and labels that are engaging in a bit of fundraising. I used a few tracks from the Whitelabrecs series called "Home Diaries" last episode. They are now around 25 releases into it, and the digital only releases are helping keep the label afloat during a period where manufacturing and shipping physical items is challenging or impossible. For their part Hibernate has been filling in with their Postcard series, putting out EPs in the PWYC model called #TwoPointSixChallenge, with all funds raised going to charities. Check out both series, and as always, stay safe and healthy.

Something a little bit diffrent this week. a decidedly nostalgic and more indie rock leaning show. With all the extra time afforded by not working I've undertaken sorting through the albums in my collection and cobbling together a top 100 desert island titles. Essentially, if I was forced to reduce the collection down to 100 albums, currently owned, what would they be? This week's show is a sample of the contenders. None are promised a place on what I've been calling the #ark100titles, but they are in the running. You can follow my progress over @surgeryradio on Instagram. 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
