We are at the part in Animal Farm where the pigs start rewriting the laws on the barn wall.

My KEXP schedule this weekend includes three on air shifts!
Sat Aug 2nd 3am - 6am (filling in for Greta)
Sat Aug 2nd 9pm - Midnight (Sonic Reducer, PUNK!)
Sun Aug 3rd Midnight - 2am - Seek & Destroy (METAL, playing Ozzy 'n 80s metal)
Music, I devour it and regurgitate it into yer ears!

My cousins had a copy of this, I read it a bunch as kid - maybe my first?

Oops - I meant Sat July 5

PUNK REQUESTS - slip them into my comments!
I'm DJing Sonic Reducer on KEXP for the next 2 weeks - Sat June 28 & July 6.
What should I play?
Bottoms up!

It is literally going to take smoke rising from the stacks of giant ovens in concentration camps for some people to realize things have gone awry, but even then many won't care, or think "well, they probably deserved it."

YouTube video by ABC7 Reporter hit by rubber bullet while covering ICE protests in LA

Apparently, because it’s 2020 again, I need to start a thread on police violence targeting journalists in the US.

So, here we go:

1. Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi shot by police officer with less lethal munition.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Dozens Of Journalists Targeted, Shot, Detained While Covering LA Protests, Press Org Says “I never thought for one moment that I’d actually have to be fearful of law enforcement during a public protest," said one photojournalist hospitalized after getting shot in the leg.

"There have been more than 30 incidents of police violence against journalists as of Tuesday, including 20 injuries, at least five of which required emergency room or urgent care visits..."

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

I don't find it bizzare that I'm DJing Sonic Reducer on KEXP the next 2 weekends and I'd love some PUNK ROCK REQUESTS.
Whats new or local thats good?
What old stuff should I play?
And it's pride month - what LGBTQ punk should I play?
Help me out people - it's whats up back that counts!

once again denied a Swamp Thing/Man-Thing crossover

It's not too bad in terms of what I've heard other people go through, but I feel goofy and brain foggy for a few days - DJing tonight's gonna be a chore.
But still I'm very lucky - I'll take these aftereffects over actual cancer any day of the week.
Only four more monthly treatments to go.

On Friday (yesterday) I had my eighth immunotherapy/ chemo infusion to ensure the melanoma that was removed in Sept 2024 got rid of all the skin cancer.
As the treatment go on the effects get worse.

@brianfoss.bsky.social is on here! love your DJing, especially the variety mix (I do like punk, but love the breadth of the vm). I used to live in Seattle but now listen (asynchronously) from New Zealand. Always hyped to see you're covering a show and this was one of my favorites!

WE'RE SO PSYCHED!! LISTEN TO TONIGHT'S SONIC REDUCER SHOW ON KEXP WITH @brianfoss.bsky.social TO HEAR "BEEN A LONG TIME" FROM OUR UPCOMING SIX-PACK, ETERNAL BREWTOPIA!!
🍻🍻🍻

After you’re done watching Andor this week, before you leave Disney+, click over to Star Wars Rebels and watch Season 3, Episode 18. It picks up from the end of tonight’s Andor arc.

No kidding.

Help me people - I ran out of punk rock requests!
I'm in for the 4/10 Sonic Reducer on KEXP and while I have some new stuff to play I always love getting more ideas - don't make live in my own head alone, it can be dark in there!
