Drums After Drums Lined Up On The Shelf: Transmission 139, 2014 July 22

Good grief, has it been two weeks since we posted a thing? Where has the time gone? Oh yes, that's right, Chez Catharsis moved is still moving, that's where. Related: we were without internet for a week, and my other work for the station had to happen onsite, so [naturally?] I did a bunch of other programs. I'd like to say those are forthcoming and imminent, but...you know.

Anyway, this was a fun little show on account of the Drumulator 7-inch. I have never owned one of these instruments, but they have given me much pleasure--you too, probably--so I hope that comes across. Before there was an internet, I spent many a fruitless hour trying to get those booming Cocteau / Big Black drum sounds with inferior gadgets, which says more about me than it does about those humble machines. But enough of confessions.
