Thanks to gillianmae for this awesome cut! Makes up for Hot Snakes’ breakup (tragic!), in a small way.

Today’s listening. Hot Snakes on a grimey hot griddle. From Pittsburgh, off Iron Lung, which is having a great run lately.

Rennet 7” out soon

A record by Stephen Steinbrink, one of my favorite songwriters, will be re-released on 7”! If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get it. And if you don’t, you should get it anyway.

Funkytonk Records is re-releasing “Rennet” on a 7” in January.
