…On The Midnight Radio
Jody at When You Awake asked me to contribute to her ongoing, themed, mixtape series. I came up ‘midnight radio‘ and put together a 34 minute medley of old, scratchy, vinyl rip weirdness inspired by a surreal, late-night, […]

God bless reissue labels. Case in point, the Dragons’ BFI —a West coast surf/psych romp resurrected in 2007 via London’s Ninja Tune Records . It’s one of those quintessential crate-digger finds, seemingly forgotten, only to gain a new […]
