Brian Willey of The Black Drumset joins us to discuss his latest record "Friends in Dark Places". He also talks about the Austin, Texas music scene and plays some of his favorite music, Austin or otherwise. www.mixcloud.com/wcrs/the-ear...

Literally nobody, including MAGA, had any ideological commitment or pre-existing policy goal of picking a fight with Canada. This is all happening solely because the crazy old man randomly blurted it out. And that makes it worse. There's nothing to negotiate, no aim to satisfy. He's just insane.

I’ve started adding my music to the new artist-owned (co-op) @subvert.fm platform. Check it out. Looks promising. Also - new stuff coming very soon.
Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
The new album is fully recorded and half mixed!
