Well, I guess the word is out. THE SOW-BEARS ARE COMING FOR US ALL!!!
(Brought to you by a typo in a newspaper article. We *think* they meant to say “some bears” but you can’t really be too sure in Wacky Wilkes-Barre.)
After warning everyone about the sow-bears, I did manage to play some music, including some requested Inspiral Carpets, which was all kinds of awesome.
Dr. Ham was not able to stop by today, pre-occupied with the nefarious goings on at Castle Ham. But he will be on the air Friday with Dr. Ham’s Dance Party a little after 8pm.
(For those of you who have no idea about any of this, or why I post a playlist every week, I host a volunteer radio show called the Not-So-Hectic Eclectic from 1p-3p Eastern at WRKC. Requests via social media can be made at #radiofreereggie, or just poke me through the usual channels. The station identifies as alternative, I play a mix of stuff from the Beforetimes (90s) and now.)
Speaking of music…
