Dan Ruccia (host) 5:41:18 PM
That would be really embarrassing if you wore a Dan Ruccia shirt to the Dan Ruccia show

Amy Lee 6:19:12 PM
When I was 13-ish, I had recently discovered 'college radio'. Heard firehose & made my first purchase as a result. It was If'n on cassette. Of course, my mom had to go into Sound Odyssey for me 'cause I was intimidated by all the 'cool' staff there..
Dan Ruccia (host) 6:25:38 PM
Aww. That's super sweet, Amy. And a great record to start with
jimbooooo 6:52:54 PM
I was 14 in a landlocked epicentral state and SST Records mail-order saved. my. life.
michael gudgeon 6:57:33 PM
this is real nice
Dan Ruccia (host) 6:59:03 PM
The writeup I saw about it talked about combining black metal vocals with Brazilian grooves and I was intrigued. It feels like a metal tinged version of that Los Thuthanaka album from last year
michael gudgeon 6:59:24 PM
heavy volta vibes for me
michael gudgeon 6:59:52 PM

Dan Ruccia (host) 7:05:37 PM
Hiya Roffle and Carlos. The internet should always be voiced with metal screams
Carlos Ramone 7:19:36 PM
Munster records still putting out
Dan Ruccia (host) 7:21:19 PM
