PROGRAM 24: BEATING A DEAD HORSE; A VISIT FROM LADY KATIE [08.16.12]

The City of New Orleans is at risk of washing away for the second time in ten years, so EASGS presents a set of New Orleans music as tribute in this podcast, curated by the Lady Katie (though this show was actually recorded when the only Isaac on our minds was of the Hayes variety). And it's sandwiched by our ABSOLUTELY FINAL installment in a tired and boring theme.

PROGRAM 23: WORDS, PART II, AND GOODBYE TO THEBILLDOSS [08.02.12]

Bill Doss of the Olivia Tremor Control died a few days before this program aired. The Mighty Grouse remembers some of his favorite Thebilldoss tracks, along with some more speaking tracks, and a few things rotating around the OTC part of his brain. The end of the program didn't record due to a pulled power cord in the studio, but it's been assembled here without the final awkward back-announce.

PROGRAM 22: AMERICA AND ETHIOPIA HAVE WORDS [07.19.12]

Feels like it's been a while since there's been a show without a grand theme. A return to normalcy? The new normal also apparently means I take 6 weeks and a day to process every podcast. Guess what, we're back on the air this Thursday/tomorrow at 7pm. Death is back, so expect their to be some sort of tribute to Bill Doss of the Olivia Tremor Control.
