Today recalling that time in 1988 when we drove to Chicago to see INXS and inexplicably encountered a Pee-wee Herman impersonator (?) on I-94 who relentlessly taunted us through the window of his speeding car for many miles.
@harvilla@CKlosterman thx to @perpetua for linking this excellent ep which had me browsing the AIC catalog and found this curious 'Trip Hop Mix' of doot doot: https://t.co/J6v9ZqM5qF Enjoy

@yasisalek@theholdsteady@333333333433333 Great ep! Love that you discussed Roaming The Foam, a song that has vocals ("and all the trash got gacked") from Matt Olson, lead singer from mpls 90s band Balloon Guy. I think their track Incidently is a great but little known piece of alt rock: https://t.co/GxSEA4wvd8
