I could have sworn I saw a video with the Fuzztones playing at this venue or something like it. It looked embarrassing ( I mean for the Fuzztones to be playing a festival where it was outdoors and nobody was paying any real attention). I get the feeling that most of you think the Fuzztones are embarrassing just in general. VarmentPoontang said:

I'd love to see a really good line up at this great outdoor venue in the Crossroads District in downtown Cowtown(Kansas City)

I don't go as much as I use to and it is indeed tiny but the Comet Tavern in Seattle is pretty cool, also. Capitol Hill near Broadway. F-Holes said:

I did check your blog earlier *after* I commented (me: "Gee. Maybe something more important is going on in Kopper's life than podcasting. Let me check his blog...") Again, my heart goes out to y'all. Good schooling! A few you listed I haven't heard of and I'll have to check out! Again, not knocking the tradition, just using too much verb 100% of the time to the point where I can't-understand-a-word-coming-out-of-your-mouth. Counter productive. Sorry. kopper said:

The best DJs used reverb. Ever listened to some of the great DJs of the '50s and '60s? Dewey Phillips, Allan Freed, Wolfman Jack, The Mad Daddy, Murray "The K" Kaufman, Mad Mike Metrovich, Johnny Rabbitt, The Real Don Steele, Boom Boom Brannigan, Johnnie Walker, Casey Casem, Robert W. Morgan, Dr. Don Rose, The Emperor Bob Hudson, Russ "The Moose" Syracuse, Rick Shaw, Bobby Ocean, James "The Hound" Marshall, etc. etc. etc.

Only the boring modern radio jocks don't. Who wants to be like them?

Haven't done a podcast in months. Been preoccupied. Check my blog and that should explain everything.

True. I guess I shoulda said "heavy handed, constant-to-the-point-of-grating" reverb.

A lil goes a long way, cats.

I agree to a point. I dig the reverb when just saying funny stuff. I'm a big fan of reverb in almost any form. But I do agree that hearing the setlist clearly is a great thing.

...so that the less fortunate can hear the set list when you announce it.

Blessed are those who have style rather than gimmick. I succumb/subscribe to you.

And Gaw' bless the ones who comment their setlists. Seriously sexy.

Especially blessed are the talking heads. Yammer away. I think all your talk, talk, talk is cute.

...Just catching up on all the podcasts. Great job and thanks for keeping it going, Kopper. Btw, when's the last time you did a podcast?

and of course that comp http://www.discogs.com/Various-Halloween-Hootenanny/release/1908845 About the "Down' Sect" song , it's a guy who loses his lover in a car crash , then he digs up her grave and climbs into the coffin. I don't know the original song by Jimmy Cross.

Monkey Doin' Woman- The Screws

I know some of you hate Little Steven's Underground Garage because his format is not pure enough for you, but I just wanted to let you know that Handsome Dick Manitoba will interview Iggy Pop on his Underground Garage radio show. This will be aired on Oct. 30, 8-12 p.m., on Channel 25, Sirius/XM Radio. I don't know the XM channel off the top of my head, so you XM subscribers will have to look it up. I just thought some people here might like to hear the banter between two punk rock legends.

Are there any satellite radio subscribers here? If so, what do you like and don't like about it?
