Loved Vish's show. I dig all his shows though so there's that.

Really diggin To All Trains too. I was under the impression that the title was a salute to trains. Like something you'd say after raising a glass in the air.

And it was a nod to country albums about trains.

Kinda miss this place now though. There was legit entertainment happening here years ago. That was fun.

sigh

I interviewed FM steve twice in my life. Once in 1991 https://archive.org/details/mrr_112/pag ... ew=theater

And again in 2006 https://grahamhick.bandcamp.com/album/a ... circa-1980

At the second interview it was at EA and as I was waiting for everything his Bean was on the couch in the second floor lounge and I grabbed it and played "A Minute" on it. It was such a thrill to play that guitar and to play a favorite Shellac song I knew how to play. Not even plugged in just casually discarded on the couch.

I told FM steve a little later what I had done and his response was "That doesn't scare me".

Then I interviewed all your friend's girlfriends. Now they hate you.

I thought that was the joke. Like somebody in the band saw the sign and enjoyed the double meaning. Is that not the case?

My copy is delayed in the post but for now I am appreciating the precision symmetry of the photo cover. Absolutely bang on ; just look at those corners. Tis a fine cover indeed, up there with Terraform and E.I. Greyhound.

This is what I come here for, Salut

Reminded myself of Shellac's Burn to Shine submission of "Steady as She Goes."

Fred armisens tribute reminded me of this.
I wish instagram allowed photo comments so I could share it with him.

My radio show 05.15.24. Reflective of my narrow tastes and barely scratching the surface, I know. Could have crammed in more bands but I really wanted to play that 20 minute Mogwai track.
