Hello fellow Alchemites and Confluxians. This week we are delving into the music I most recently have added to my collection. Most of that is brand new music, some if it is older content I recently became aware of, or just finally got around to picking up.
Special announcement: Next week for episode #028 we will have a special guest, Mia d’Bruzzi. Mia is one of the pioneers in the SF Punk Scene as a member of Frightwig and an Mudwimmin. We’ll be discussing her current project, Dizzy Twin, as well as her history in the SF scene, early and current influences, and future plans. It should be a fun evening, so be sure to tune in on 2/9/2022 for that.
