A lot of new listeners tuned in to\u00a0last week\u2019s show<\/a>\u00a0and one of them was\u00a0Jon Fine<\/a>, who played with\u00a0David Grubbs<\/a>\u00a0in the band\u00a0Bitch Magnet<\/a>. Jon was really excited to hear Loving Six on last week\u2019s mix. He had heard about Loving Six and had been waiting to hear their music for almost 30 years. We got to talking and it turns out that Jon has also written a book called\u00a0Your Band Sucks: What I Saw at Indie Rock\u2019s Failed Revolution (But Can No Longer Hear)<\/em><\/a>, which has been described as a cult favorite musician\u2019s memoir. Jon said his book touches on some of the things Chip and I talked about on last weeks show. You should go buy it because I\u2019m going to read the\u00a0Your Band Sucks<\/em>and have Jon on the show in a couple of weeks to talk about his book.<\/p>\n

On last week\u2019s show I also played a song that was a collaboration between The Bug and Earth. I\u2019ve known about Earth for at least 20 years but had never listened to their music before. I went on Twitter and asked what songs or albums I should listen to and I got a lot of excellent suggestions. Ben Burnham said I should start off with Earth\u2019s album,\u00a0Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method<\/a>.<\/em>Corey Brewer suggested I listen to their songs\u00a0\u201dOuroboros is Broken\u201d<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0\u201cOld Black\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and Holly Carson said I should listen to their\u00a0Pentastar: In the Style of Demons<\/a><\/em>\u00a0album. Thanks for the suggestions! I\u2019ll be listening to Earth for the next few weeks and will play them on a future Weekly Mix.<\/p>\n

Okay, let\u2019s get to today\u2019s show. See you next week!<\/p>\n
