Is it the first of the month already? Damn, this summer's gone by quickly.
How was your August? Did you have fun? I got rained on a lot, which was terrible, but I went to the State Fair yesterday, which was not terrible. It's amazing how falafel on a stick can change your whole outlook, isn't it?
Before we get to the album collage, a big thanks to everybody who checked out the show's this month. Yes, their were only two of them, but both of them were outstanding, so that's got to count for something. Of course the show is free and available to stream or download from anywhere at anytime by anybody. Think of it as one of those Spotify "Discover" playlists except it's curated by an actual human being whose neuroses cause him to put way more effort into his show's than any music-loving robot ever could.
Second, a big thanks to all the artists who were on the show who took the time to share the podcast. Those shares & retweets are literally the only way this show reaches a broader audience, so each one is deeply appreciated.
Lastly, my monthly reminder that, as much as I enjoy writing about music & putting together the show, I'd like it a lot more if I could do it for a living. If you or anybody you know is looking for somebody to write about music or host a low-to-medium quality podcast, pass the blog along. I don't ask for much, just a pile of money and the ability to spend all my waking hours living out my dream. I don't think that's asking for much.
Let's get to the collage. As always, remember that every song listened to counts as a "play." Seems obvious, right? So, for example, Rogue Valley's new album Radiate/Dissolve has 12 songs, meaning each time I listen to it all the way through it counts 12 "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays around Planet New Basset.

01. Descendents - Hypercaffium Spazzinate (136 plays)
