Hope that everyone made it back to home in one piece and that drama was kept to a minimum if you gathered with extended family. Those days are kind of over for us and I suspect many of my demographic also experience a twinge of regret around this Season. I belonged to a fairly large family, one side 100% off the boat Italian, the other mostly Swedish, with a dollop of German mixed in. The Italian side eventually fessed up that my Grandmother Vingencina (isn’t that a beautiful name?) had a bit of Albanian in her mixture. That tidbit was helpful in understanding perhaps why the only two times I was at an event also attended by John Belushi, he headed straight for me. Offering a joint at an early Bottom Line performance of Warren Zevon, and breaking up our circle of vipers at The Animal House Village Gate party to partake after the New York premiere. Too bad he couldn’t have stayed with weed. As real as it gets and not even a whiff of star entitlement. He was generally interested in our opinion of the film, knowing we were a bunch of music nerds from the retail record business that lucked into an invite.

This opening set of FTB #263 begins with brand new stuff from the lovely Isobel Campbell and interesting new to my ears artist, Cincinnati's Jack Kays. Also pop rockin Joy Buzzer return with their tender love ballad, “Try Not To Be An Asshole (For A Little While)”... anyone have a tissue, I’m getting a bit misty! There is also a batch of newly digitized 12 inch vinyl singles that I discovered in a long sealed box which contained my old DJ gig bag, chock full of classic Alt Dance mixes. Thanks for checking the show out and I’ll never be able to properly thank those of you that actually dig in your pocket with financial support for this true labor of love. Loose change?
