After the Killdozer/Feelies show, I guess I need to track down the 'Dozer's Yow! and The Pig Was Cool 7"s...
Amy Erma Lee 11:22:54 AM
That would be a great show to see.
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:23:51 AM
Sorry, to be clear, I'm talking about Jon Solomon's radio show last week. But yes, seeing such a show in actual reality would be mind blowing
Amy Erma Lee 11:30:38 AM
After Jon's show, I found myself trying to remember some of the weird billings I've been to.
Rainy Days and Mokdays 11:32:46 AM
what are the chances of Mdou Moctar signing some vinyl? grabbing some JIC
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:34:31 AM
Definitely worth trying!
Rainy Days and Mokdays 11:35:28 AM
wow they got some nice merch on their website
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:35:33 AM
Amy, I'm still haunted by the Espers/Bunny Brains/Fursaxa show I put together like 20 years ago. It was awesome, but it absolutely didn't work as a cohesive bill...
Rainy Days and Mokdays 11:39:31 AM
Habibi!!!
