Spambot Radio New Year's Eve!

Spambot Radio wishes all you folks a Happy New Year!

Spambot Radio is an hour long collection of surf, garage, doowop, twist, rock'n roll, honky tonk, bluegrass, oldies, goodies, AND novelties! Remember that each episode isn't quite complete without retro commercials and public service announcements.

The last Monday of December happened to fall on one of the greatest drinking holidays of the year--and hey! Let's celebrate extra hard since the world hasn't ended yet (though it'll feel like it tomorrow)! Whether you're out on the town or staying in with Rod Sterling, be sure to tune in. This month brings a nice array of atomic age ballads and other hymns of sin. You can stream from this blog or download if you're on the run!

"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:

A scan of the infamous cursed mixtape of crushes made in spring of 2004.

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.
