Pete, that rifle, and discussions of Charles Whitman and Richard Speck are sure are making me uneasy. You may well be right.

I’m 47. The great part about this show is how it takes you back. Seems like a thousand years ago in so many ways. Adults were so ambivalent to their kids. Figure it out on your own. Very true.

I’d load up on Pete at 40-1 if I could. He’s a ticking time bomb.

I was turned on to Kontiki near the time of its release by Bill Forsyth at Minus Zero Records in London. And what a magnificent purchase it was. Bill was a true proselytizer of all things power pop, psych pop and jangly (especially R.E.M.) and he rarely if ever led me astray with his recommendations.

I’ve since purchased the rest of the Cotton Mather catalogue (and Future Clouds & Radar, of course) and love Robert Harrison’s terrific brand of psych-infused power pop. I plan to buy the new, expanded edition of Kontiki, both for the extra tracks as well as to help support Robert. Here’s hoping he has another Future Clouds & Radar album in the works…

There’s probably a lesson there, I guess. If you want to be remarrying women 30 or 40 years younger than you are when you’re in your elder years–and if you’re wanting to consummate that marriage–it’s good to have your own plantation in Virginia and stacks of money.

I hadn’t heard this before, but I love factoids like this. Thanks for posting it!

That was an amazing story Chrs. It’s now January, unpromising as a month can be, and your descriptions of the music has me wanting to hear some Christmas tunes. I didn’t work with you at Katy, but you sparked awesome memories. Aloha! -Lisa “Old Katy Crew” Medgaus

Brilliant! Who would’ve imagined hearing such a powerful rendition of Desiree so many years after the original release (and the subsequent demise of the band)?

Thanks for the kind words Cindy. It was funny, when I started at Katy as a busboy in the winter of ’88, all I’d hear from folks like Art and Matt were “You should’ve been here earlier. That crew was awesome.”
