2:15 PM		Essential Logic Mother Earth Essential Logic Land of Kali Hiss And Shake Records 2022 The Land of Kali (co-produced by Youth), is the first new Essential Logic studio album in 43 years, and features the new single ‘Prayer for Peace’, a re-imagining of the X-Ray Spex track from the tragically overlooked album, Conscious Consumer (1995) on which Lora also played sax. “Poly Styrene and I were living in a Krishna community in Worcestershire in the early 80s. We came together for the first time musically after X-Ray Spex to record the original version of this song. In 2019, I decided to record my own take as a tribute to the special times we shared. I hope Poly likes this new version too.” Further tracks penned for release from the album include the dystopian, lockdown-inspired ‘Alien Boys’ and ‘Sky Rocket’, written with daughter Malini, about the fairground of life.

Hmmm... not my cup of tea, but I understand the artistic value.

And now I get why he was in the Swans. What ever happened to Jarboe?

Excellent first hour of the show! Thank you, DJ Esoterica!

Hellooooo fellow Bloomers! I was only able to catch the tail end of the interview. And what a stupendous interview it was! I'm super-excited for The Children's 'A Sudden Craving'! Although he wasn't present for the interview, let it be on record that Phil Puleo has been and continues to be my favorite drummer! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And Esoterica, I always hear something I like at some point in your show.

LOL - more people on the chat from California, than on the east coast

and kim i have found that in the past few years that i have given up on commercial music radio with its SSDD

Yep - Mike Wiener in the children is my old friend/roommate. My old drummer confirmed it. Small world,

wow!!!

that is cool. was he a good roommate i hope? lol

@francis

@Francis amazing and cool

Oh - we had a lot of fun together. He's a good guy. We had very diff tastes in women, so it made going out easy, and we wound up dating 2 girls who were roommates as well for a while

Hey Es, awesome sounds, especially Manzanita!

hi os!

howdy ossy

I first heard the Smoke's hit "My Friend Jack" when it was frequently played live by local band The Insomniacs.

Sweet, David. I will bid you all adieu! Stay Tuned!
