Things have been pretty hectic in radioland lately, so I feel pretty bad about not plugging Wednesday's live, on-air event before it actually happened. But, fear not! The Inter-Web-A-Tron offers the wonders of the past in the present... or the future! And in this case, it's good that we can unite all three, because I was able to run sound for the only Cramps tribute band in Portland, Bikini Girls With Machine Guns! Ob-soive:
Bikini Girls With Machine Guns, Live on signal-to-noise ratio!
With the recent passing of Lux Interior, there have been a number of radio tributes (including one on my own show, still archived here at the end of the hour), but with a live performance by an actual tribute band, you more or less can't go wrong. Especially with the choice of musicians filling out the band: half of the sorely-missed Eat Your Heart Out combined with all of the still-amazing Hairspray Blues. Of course, hosting it on Ranger Mike's signal-to-noise ratio was an excellent choice, and of course, having the wonderful Miss Meghan return to radio as Mike's co-host was just the icing on the cake. (Meghan hosted the very-much-missed Songs The Lord Taught Us show before she decided to travel the world for a few years.) All in all, it was the COOLEST hour of radio that's been broadcast in quite some time, and you would be remiss in your duties as an American not to listen.
While we're on the subject of radio: I'll be running sound for Ranger Mike's show again next week for a live, on-air performance of the Dead Air Fresheners with Jennifer Robin. (That's February 25th for those of you who like to add these kinds of things to their calendars.) The Dead Air Fresheners are no strangers to KPSU, but with a guest joining their line-up, anything could happen. Tune in at 8 PM to hear the set live, and watch this space for archive links afterward.
Lastly: don't forget to tune in tomorrow for Blasphuphmus Radio Theater Presents: The Adventures of Superman, Part II! It's retro-casting at its finest, brought to you by Blasphuphmus Radio, and KPSU.
