I Only See Straight When I'm Being Led: Transmission 99, 2014 February 13

I return to posting with an emergency late-night transmission. Are bagpipes a late-night thing? No, they are an all-hours-of-the-day thing. But I suppose Rufus Harley and Test Dept. are late-night things, so here they are. Ah, Test Dept.! Memories, you guys. If you were curious (were you? no?) what the "old shows" used to sound like, back in the day, look no further.

ANYWAY. I know that Guy LeBatard is fond of quoting those Situationist wastrels, but "never work" resonates as an all-purpose advisory right about now. Things are busy. I am resolved to hack through the business with a machete of sound. Because I need to clear the decks. Because something big is coming. That's all I will say.
