No tears confession: I knew this song first as a cover from Philly band Pretty Poison (before they got dancy)

i didn't know they did a cover of this! i do like the early pretty poison stuff i've heard

I think it was on a 7”ep. Or a flexi. Yeah, I was a big fan of that early stuff too!

Hi Andrew and Pethie!

Thanks for the fun show!

I have a good second hand Aus-Rotten story from when my friend Tim was playing with them.

https://uneasylisteningradio.tumblr.com/post/187488263194/audio-playlist-for-september-2-2019-invisible

omg tell it to me

Awesome, thanks for that link!

Let me try and make it as brief as possible.

Basically Tim was playing with Aus Rotten at some sort of house / squat where one of the attendees had fallen asleep before they went on so someone wrote "I missed Aus-Rotten" on this slumbering person'f face in marker.

"I missed Aus-Rotten" was a popular expression in this household for long after we first heard this story.

haha that's cute

thanks for tuning in everyone! membership drive continues until the 28th!!

Thank you! Thank you!

Good stuff.

thanks everyone!!!!
