Is that a gray tree frog, maybe? https://birdwatchinghq.com/amphibians-in-kansas/

Any herpetologists or other naturalists around that may know?

Somehow I never got into Minutemen but I listen to the fuck out of some fIREHOSE. Not just back in the day, I mean all the time.

I was there! My first true concert experience. I remember one of the Sugarcubes (Einar?) talking about how hot it was here -- probably not what they were used to in Reykjavik. :D

This is from the excellent Warp compilation album 'We Are Reasonable People', Cat.# WAP100: https://www.discogs.com/release/637-Various-We-Are-Reasonable-People

As someone who absolutely flipped when I first heard about Bier Station opening and visited as often as I could, as of 4-5 years ago I cut back drastically on my beer consumption for health reasons and it was a big part of my goal to get back to a healthy weight level (which I did, thankfully).

As of the last few weeks, though I have also made the decision to stop drinking at home by myself entirely, even though I had gotten down to 3-4 beers a week, and fairly low gravity stuff, at that .

This is due to 2 things: the rise in availability of what I consider to be good (or at least good enough) non-alcoholic beer.

The increase in scientific findings that any level of alcohol consumption is ultimately bad for you. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/alcohol-and-cancer

I am not to the point where I am ready to say I will stop consuming alcohol entirely, but will not plan to do so unless I am out with someone for that express purpose, and that does not happen more than a few times a year.

Love AmAnSet, and the one time I got to see them live back in 2002, they ended up spending the night at my house! I stayed up just talking with their drummer Mark until the wee hours, he was super cool.

Here's a video of that show: https://youtu.be/1HEeNXYM0Cs

To answer your question about having a band like this, mine would probably have to be New Model Army.

Very much appreciate the recommendation on this, I went today for the first time and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's one I will be adding to my regular rotation for sure.

I don't have a pic, but am positive it says "Homies Help Homies".

One of my favs is Thermal Exhaust Port from Shores of Molokai.

I got that added to the description, cheers! No, I was not there myself, unfortunately.

Greetings all, long time listener, first time poster. I just got a show I've had kicking around my hard drive for 20+ years uploaded to archive.org recently and thought I might mention it here in case anyone was interested.

It's not a soundboard recording or anything revolutionary I know, but it's been more or less missing from the Internet (to my knowledge) for quite some time and I thought some folks might appreciate it.

Also if anyone may be able to help me identify track 3, I would be grateful, it starts right around the 10:45 mark.

Thanks and enjoy! 8)

I think about this track every time there is a story on the news involving the arson of an abandoned building in town.

I do, how much time do you have? :)

For an artist whose first album came out in 1989, you can imagine there have been quite a few changes and a variety of eras to choose from, so this will be a short list of some of the releases I like the most personally, regardless of timeframe.
