Jenny Nobody drops the news about Band Shirt Day, Chris Farren on Hotline, and Decoy’s talk with Frankie and the Witch Fingers. WASTOIDS Highlighter, September 20, 2023

Beneath his hilarious persona, Chris Farren conceals the heart of a romantic. On his latest record album Doom Singer (Polyvinyl Records) the former Fake Problems singer weds massive riffs with intimate and funny confessions. Tune into Hotline as he answers 1-877-WASTOIDS calls about Bruce Springsteen’s son and why one caller’s girlfriends always dump him after Chris’ gigs.

Decoy Deloy joins artists like Blondie, Wilco, Portugal the Man, Sonic Youth, and more for #bandshirtday 2023—a holiday to celebrate our favorite kinda tees and raise money for worthy causes. Then, Decoy swings by Valley Bar to hang out with Los Angeles psych-punk quartet Frankie and the Witch Fingers to get the story about their new rager, Data Doom and pick up some tips and tricks for how to avoid the apocalypse.

We’re hopping in the time machine and setting the controls for April 1968, to take a deep dive on Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson,” the weird and unsettling world of Tiny Tim, and the format-bending sound of San Francisco’s Moby Grape—as well as the ultra-dedicated unofficial archivists like DustyGrooves69 and Vintage Recordings, who make sure we can access it.

Band Shirt Day, Video Mixup, The Spindle drops the needle on Magazine’s Shot By Both Sides. It’s Jenny Nobody with this, that, and the other from WASTOIDS.

Decoy Deloy shares all the important music news—like Jeff Rosenstock‘s bold stand against merch cuts—and some music news that just made him laugh: like the story about how Stephen King became obsessed with Lou Bega’s “Mambo #5.” Plus, an all-new Video Mixup feature, featuring videos from Ty Segall, Meat Puppets, Say She She, Shabazz Palaces, and David Eugene Edwards.

This time around, Marc and John delve into what may be the first true post-punk single: Magazine’s 1978 7-inch ““Shot By Both Sides” backed with “My Mind Ain’t So Open.” Led by Howard Devoto, the former Buzzcock who was already disillusioned with punk, Magazine truly ripped it up and started again, pulling the music of late 70s UK into the future. Find out how on this episode of The Spindle!
