I Am The Lord Of My Own Particular Jungle: Transmission 119, 2014 April 23

Another Wednesday evening was upon us, and another occasion for an "alpha" program. Peter Buck provides the "Physical Evidence" in the form of his second post-R.E.M. LP, "I Am Back To Blow Your Mind Once Again." I seem to recall some magic in this program, some "how did we get here?" moments, but of course I don't remember them specifically. You will just have to listen.

"Why is it," Lady Catharsis asks, "that these guys [meaning Peter Buck, Jay Farrar, and other like-minded dudes, I guess?] make these oddball records when their bands break up?" I have nothing to say about Son Volt or anything in that vein, but had I been part of some leviathan rock act for three decades I would probably jump at the chance to record an IDGAF sort of thing "straight to lacquer"* with my friends. Wouldn't you?
