Let’s Not Upstage Kink Anymore: Transmission 196, 2015 April 7

Hurtling into the future, relative to our recent posting rate, here is another program, and one from this very month, to boot. I almost remember this night. Feeling under some kind of time constraint to use yet another Shriekback record as "Physical Evidence," I went ahead and buckled. Junior's had a health class, so I didn't feel too queasy hearing her read the title, but still.

I do keep forgetting there's that awkward rap break in "Achtung." Very English, and a good exhibit of why, at the time, it was a really bad idea for white people to make those attempts. Still, I would be sad when Carl Marsh left the band.

Elsewhere: I swear, sometime in my adolescence [my actual adolescence, not my prolonged refusal to grow up] there was a local mattress outlet that used a passage from the end of "Home Computer" as the underscoring. I think that was about as cool as Greater Sacramento ever got.
