4th of July NO SKINNY TIES on KPSU!
 

What's This Called? will be preempted this week by a very special revival of my 1980s Post-Punk Noise Rock program No Skinny Ties!

It's a 4th of July tradition at KPSU for me to bust out the old stuff for two hours of American classics from back in the days when "indie" meant a record actually came out on an independent label! Thrill once again to the likes of Big Black, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Pus$y Galore, Green River, Black Flag, Beat Happening, Girl Trouble, Ut, Mission of Burma, the Wipers, the Melvins, Malfunkshun, Salem 66, and so much more!

Noon to 2 PM Pacific Time (That's 3 to 5 PM for listeners at Lexington and Concord!) STREAMING LIVE ON KSPU!

or for those in Portland using the same analog radios that Paul Revere listened to on his midnight ride...
