Roxy & Jasun (KPSU Phase I Episode 148)
Guests joined me for another amazing show!
Jasun Wurster
Roxy Epoxy
Roxy Epoxie (KPSU Phase I Episode 121)
Roxy joins me for a second time, to spin records of her selection, and spend another hour of our lives dancing ’til we can’t dance no more. We cut through the treakle and, instead, let her pull out all the hits that keep her going while on tour, and condense them down into an easy-to-digest radio show format. Along the way we’re joined by Satan (calling in to discuss “roommate” issues with Roxy), and we cover almost all the bases, from The Nuns to the Exploding Hearts. This one was so much fun, I wish all my shows were like this. Hell yeah.
At this time, our show was on from 9 P.M. – 10 P.M.

The Black Noise Orchestra, LIVE!
The Black Noise Orchestra, LIVE! (Phase I Episode 120)
Special two-hour show! With Songs The Lord Taught Us out for the week, we took this opportunity to stage yet another performance by none other than The Black Noise Orchestra! For their third live performance, we were conducted by none other than Andy Z, long time KPSU DJ and co-host of the moss garden variety hour. We were joined by The Scrouch (host at Dekum Manor, and a member of the local group VaVa Voom), Ranger Mike (also of the moss garden variety hour) & Jasun Wurster, KPSU’s hard-working soundman. The show starts with a couple tracks from the new Acid Mothers Temple album, then kicks in to a full hour and 20 minutes of solid black noise. This one’s a keeper, so check out both hours… if you dare! 8 P.M. – 10 P.M

Live Friday 066: Johnny Punchclock
Johnny Punchclock, LIVE! (Live Friday 066)
Punk roustabouts Johnny Punchclock scream hillbilly anthems like banshees in a whiskey fog, detonating any ideas about how much (or little) raw aggression you thought the string band idiom could possibly churn out. Really, that’s all you need to know to want to tune in this week. Won’t you?
The Prids, LIVE!
The Prids, LIVE! (Live Friday 063)
The Prids‘ new album, “Until the World Is Beautiful” is a follow-up to the band’s 2003 debut, which successfully nails down the heart-bursting experience of a live Prids show. The album builds on the themes David and Mistina have found the most intriguing in music: drunk on sadness, letting go, keeping hope alive, and letting things fall apart. Their sound has been compared to obscure and mainstream groups alike, but their new album hits you so squarely in the chest that it begs you to put them in a category all their own. For best results, why not tune in tonight to hear a live set here on KPSU. Hosted by Ranger Mike.
The-Front, LIVE!
The-Front, LIVE! (Phase I, Episode 091)
My sound guy Jasun had been talking up a band that was touring through PDX from, of all places, Casper, WY. I was sceptical, but gave him the benefit of the doubt when he asked if they could play on my show. When he gave me a CDR of some of their stuff, I knew he was onto something. The-Front are unappologetically punk rock, blending elements of The Gits, Crimpshrine, Blatz, and a hundred other sources to write fun, original, and political songs. Coming from a town that actually drills for oil when it’s profietable, and from a town isolated in the middle of america, it’s no wonder they have a lot to say with their songs. 5 P.M. – 6 P.M.
