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.
