Geek (Ema)Nation has its first in-studio guest ever in this epic podcast!  Steve from San Francisco’s own Subterranean Records drops in to tell stories and spin some of that label’s best and rarest records from the past 34 years.  Plus, host The Rock’N’Roll Nurse (RNRN) manages to clear up some of his own misconceptions and faulty memories about Subterranean bands like FLIPPER and FRIGHTWIG.  Knowledge of the SF ’80s music scene will set you free, fellow geeks!

A bit over 30 years ago, SF mainstay punk publication MAXIMUM ROCK’N’ROLL released a groundbreaking hardcore punk compilation called “Not So Quiet On The Western Front” featuring offerings by 47 bands from Northern California and Nevada.  More than a dusty historical document today, it exists as a memorable blast of energy from an underground scene on the verge of national and international breakout.  The Rock’N’Roll Nurse plays the 2-LP original album in its entirety, and then adds a fave extra from local heroes ANGST.  Skank like a geek, punks!
