Archives of Oblivion, December 12, 2006

Technical glitches consumed the bulk of what would have been my show this week. Things should be back to normal next Tuesday the 19th. Expect holiday mayhem a-go-go!

The December 19th show will be my last for 2006, as Archives Of Oblivion will be taking a holiday hiatus and returning in January.

Beatle-sploitation special, December 8, 2006

This show was part of a day-long Beatles tribute/deconstruction staged by Luxuria Music on December 8th. I had the pleasure of being joined in the studio by the amazing Steve Stanley, who brought along some incredible records.

Here's what went down over the course of three hours:
