Spambot Radio

Spambot Radio! An hour long collection of surf, garage, doowop, twist, rock'n roll, honky tonk, bluegrass, oldies, goodies, AND novelties! The last Monday of every month tune in for some freak-outs all wrapped up in one tidy (and free) download.


For this month, you'll get some tricks & treats with Screaming Lord Sutch, Rosemary Clooney, Kid Congo Powers, Little Willie John, and so much more. Each hour is complete with retro commercials and public service announcements.




I'd be happy to answer any questions about the artists or songs you hear. Enjoy!

"Summertime lovin'--Lovin' in the summer (time)"

With the exception of a tape I'm working on now, the last mix that I made was May 17th of this year. After being put together, it was shipped off to a friend in California? Arizona? Alaska? I can't remember who got it. I didn't even keep a track listing for it after each side was converted to mp3 and forgotten. I found a scan of the artwork, this morning, and just sat through Side A & B mp3s while doing homework. So here's the forgotten mixtape that was meant to be this summer's soundtrack:

Ketchup and Rubber Buns

Sorry about the hiatus. Unfortunately, I didn't get to make too many mix tapes this summer. Real life tends to get in the way. However, I was given a couple tapes over the break. My pal & partner in the analog revolution, Kisston, made me a tape for my birthday called, "I'M NOT DRUNK!"
Pretty dern thoughtful.
Pen pal, Brian Polk, sent me a really bad ass tape.
