A Math-ternoon of Rock (Phase I Episode Episode 102)

Given that my show has largely become an outlet for live performances in recent months, I found myself showing up at the station today with no band to speak of! With Pledge Drive under our belt, this gave me the opportunity to pull out and play a lot of the new stuff I’ve been groovin’ to lately that I’ve had to put on hold in recent weeks for one reason or another. With a can of Sprite in one hand and a large bowl of Pad Thai in the other, I tear through a math-ternoon or Rock and showcase the strangeness that’s been making my ass move lately, with quick stop into some of the psyche and punk that always hits the spot. With the weather looking as good as it does today, it’s recommended to pop this show into your listening device of choice and hit the streets as the joys and beauty of the impending summer tantalize you visually, too.

(Update: Apparently, this show was so powerful, that KPSU shut down and could not broadcast for several hours afterward. Immediately after I finished my show this week, there was a power surge [or, as I like to think of it, a “Rock” surge] that shut down the entire station. When we came back up again moments later, we were unable to establish a connection with our tower, and couldn’t broadcast for some time afterward. Yet again, it just goes to show the power of the Church. Praise Earl!)
