Hi Todd, you glorious pile of exploding DJ awesomeness! I won't be able to listen to the show live so I'm posting a question for Calvin ahead of time. Mark Hosler of Negativland asks: Does Calvin still have the 8-channel Kelsey mixer with spring reverb that Mark sold him years ago (which Calvin later used to mix Beck's "One Foot in the Grave")?

I was at the show in Reseda in 1990 (?) where they opened for Fugazi when Calvin finished the set with a bloody nose after some meathead there to see Minor Threat clocked him with an ashtray. When they were done they walked off through the crowd. It was a bad-ass move. (Then we got a lecture from Ian Mackaye.)

It is fun to remember those heady times when punk was new. Heather, Brett and Calvin took me with them on to NYC and Boston - I drove their rental car back to DC and they continued on. No GPS and no map. Worked out great - and I had just met them.

Mostly Brit stuff but would go see frightwig, pussy galore, Stevie Moore, CVB. Quirky stuff on wfmu where there was mostly a personal connection.

I love these "conversations"...they always stir up lots of fine memories of shows/music that had such a big impact on quite a few of us...I suspect. Cramps at Commodore Ballroom early 1982...was a fine show....as was that Vancouver show by The Jam...back in '79.
It was definitely the emergence of a strong and supportive DIY ethos/period that touched many cultural matters back then...because there were no other options. Especially on the "tech" front...no cells, no internet but lots of indie spirit.

Thanks a bunch, Todd and guests. I may have stepped away for part of Calvin's interview. Did the K-tel people ever come after K Records?

Thanks again TOPT for a great 3 hours of "parallel universe" sounds. I'm popping across the road next to check out the 2nd annual Black Culture fest...just starting up. Hip Hop makes a nice change to the usual soft jazz many in my hood generally support.
