snacktime - monster sized monster @ moshmellow 6.13.2024

Rusty doing Rusty shit.  If you know you know, if you don't... uhhhhh be careful with those eardrums, k?  Monster Sized Monster remains one of the knifey-est listens in STL.
 
Recorded by Dingus with their Zoom recording thingus.  First time stopping in Moshmellow.  Liked it better aesthetically and acoustically than the old Foam days, but still felt like everywhere I stood I was in the way LOL.  Show was a goodtime, also on the bill that evening was Hudai, Haunted Hers, and our good pals Brick Thieves, who you heard from last week in Episode 64.  You did go listen to episode 64 right?  It's good.

snacktime - noisecamp 2024 "the beast awakens, rudely"

Noisecamp hadn't been a thing since 2014, so most of the people at Interfuse 2024 had no idea what we were about- and if they had bothered to guess, were mostly drastically wrong.  We got some fresh blood because the people that it is going to click with, it clicks instantly.  Everyone else... well, some people you never get the opportunity to win over if they don't hate you a little first.  Ask around, and there will be a lot of "oh gaaaaaawd" but pretty much all of them will admit there was at least one point where they stopped and went "what the hell was that?!? that was cool."  Nobody can say we didn't bring immediacy and radical expression anyway.  
 
So, here is the sound of yr boi kicking out the first live sounds of this edition of Noisecamp, and of hundreds of ravers and hippies suddenly realizing the burn was going to be a lot longer than they realized...
 
We'll be back eventually...  2025?  Hmmmmmmmm.  Dunno, we'll see.  Likely take this year off, but holler if you're interested.   There's another snacktime or two in the recordings from this go-round left, at least; and plenty you'll hear cut into future episodes...  Speaking of....  

snacktime - ben ricketts @ hi tone 09.12.2024

Yo.  Dave again.  If you are aware of our particular cycles of idiosyncracies, you were probably already assuming I was the one gumming up the works around here lately.  It's true, I have teased temporally relevant snacks that went cold on the counter, promised vintage selections from the vaults and never went down to the cellar to fetch them, and generally sat around with assthumbs instead of laboring episodically.  It's been a long, rough year, and I for one am ready to leave this one behind.
It occurred to me that one of the things I have been sitting on would actually be perfect to play us out today.  Back in September, Ben Ricketts announced he was playing a show for his birthday, retiring a bunch of songs, and taking a hiatus to refresh and reset after the gnarly time he'd been having himself.  He's been one of our favorite singer-songwriter types since oh so many moons ago when Tubby Tom first brought him to me at the Way Out.  I was supposed to do a remix for a song from his excellent album "Songs for Ruined X-Rays" but I blew that deadline, like your boy do.  Yay ADHD.  Anyway, digression now completed, I threw my wife in the car and drove through the inland remnants of  Hurricane Francine down to Memphis, to catch the show with one of my oldest pals and her husband.  It was a good time.  We did fun shit. 
Anyway, here is Ben's birthday set, enjoy it, we'll see you next year LOL.  Episode 64 is around the corner.
Get more of Ben's excellent work HERE.
Also, real weirdos probably wanna check THIS out too.
Oh!  And he is also in this BAND, they are hella good.
