Forgot about this until lately but the other Jerz radio universe broadcast an alternative reality playlist into my head back in April... they played this Minatures in its entirety. So much fun. Stuff that would feel not at all out of place here.

deirdre dionysiac (host) 7:22:36 PM
There is someone on youtube named "Worm" who put a bunch of these there recently, that's one spot to listen. But otherwise a place to peruse the track listings and track down the bands in the usual places
deirdre dionysiac (host) 7:24:17 PM
ok this next track cracks me up every time
Dale Hazelton 7:25:30 PM
worm's channel came up immediately when i googled.
G Jax 7:34:14 PM
Every once in a while there's a show that you wish you could play again in its entirety. This is one of them. Well done.
