SOUNDWAVE: 18

SOUNDWAVE: 18 : SEAN HOCKING

Today has been an emotionally devastating day. I’m heartbroken and so exhausted that simply typing the words you are reading is draining.

A few words about today’s show before I call it a night.

I launched SOUNDWAVE to help cope with the stress and isolation of COVID-19. Usually the mixes are melancholy or uplifting but either one gave me succor. Today’s mix from Metal Postcard Records founder, Sean Hocking, got me through today with it’s playfulness and sense of humor. I hope it will do the same for you.

I discovered Metal Postcard Records waaay back when I was a deejay at a private radio station in San Diego. I featured Metal Postcard Records on solipsistic NATION and have been in touch with Sean ever since and invited him to participate in my Friends Mix.

Sean’s mix is all over the place. If you enjoy today’s show, I encourage you to check out the music on his label, which is just as eclectic and runs the gamut to punk to psychedelia.

Join us again next week when our guest deejay will be brother in podcasting, Jason Randall Smith, of the Both Sides of the Surface podcast.

See you then.
