Do I stay? I spent next on the chair in the corner of the room where I stay as the sun wins up across the sky. Soft as the bed where I went. Smile cannot help not to stray us the baby's of the arts and the deck and the use of the techniques of my life. You'll figure it out. Just one place. Oh no, so the cake is a little bit of a little bit of thing and something hard to carve because I'm sorry, and so that's the thing girls in my mind. What do they say? What they say.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

Ladies and gentlemen, doing You'll Figure It Out, that is from Janine's most recent full-length long-playing record, which was called How Long Can It Last? It came out last year, 2025, on Slumberland Records. Janines are about to embark on a West Coast tour. If you happen to be on the West Coast like me, I'll see you there, at least at one of the shows. I'm excited, I've never seen the band. Again, Janine's, you'll figure it out before that. The Go Betweens with an all-timer from 1978. Lee Remick was their first single. Lorette Velvet before that did an all-timer cover, her version of David Bowie's Boys Keep Swinging. She put that out on a single in 1997. She did a Roxy music cover on the other side and could use 25 copies of that one, folks. Lorette Velvet, the fall before that with In the Park from the 1980 LP Grotesque. We had the baby astronauts doing tricycle hell. That is from their one and only album, All the Pancakes You Can Eat, came out in 1986. Big, big favorite of mine when I was in college. They were like often compared with like Minneapolis was a thing during those years, at least in the underground or the the more popular parts of the underground because of whose crew replacements in Soul Asylum. And so any other band that was sort of in that realm would would get a little probably maybe a disproportionate amount of attention maybe than they otherwise deserved. Baby Astronauts absolutely deserved it. And I kind of forgot about them until I found that record in a used band recently. I had sold all my old records and now I'm buying them back like an idiot. But um it really holds up. But I think I like it better now in 2026 than I did in 1986. So again, Baby Astronauts, check it out. All the pancakes you can eat is the album, the track we heard was Tricycle Hell. Man and Error started it off with a paranoia from the new tape bargain band. Next time we'll play one of their um originals, okay? Agony Shorthand number seven, Jay here. Check out the other shows at agonyshorthand.com. I'm now gonna play you some very strange and compelling electronic music that is new here in 2026. It's from a duo called Anadol and Marie Clock. Anadol is a Turkish Marie clock in French. They have put out a record called Moneyvelles. And they put out records before this, but I have not heard them yet. Manyvils is really something. Check it out. It is a record from it, it's called La Superiority Nombre. It's by Anadol and Marie Clock, and it sounds like this.

The boats on the sea are blissfully free, they will come to no harm Cause the way's so calm. Oh, let me think a while to the playground of your smile through the phrase or you sick. Did not leave my stuff to face the ominous face, the omnins, I leave the eyes. But not now, not now, not now.

That is the aforementioned Honey Owens, who is from Portland, Oregon, and she goes by Valet that. I'm gonna play some garage hunky type things, just a few songs, and then we'll end it with something really cool by a guy named Duncan Hart. So let's go into the garage hunky thing. Spider, which we were a spit spin-off way back in 2008, are gonna perform a song for you right now called If I Were You. We're from Orange County, California. Before the Beguil, we heard Sonic Chicken 4 doing I Had Too Much to Drink last night. That was from their self-titled 2007 album, which is excellent, by the way, and available for not very much money on uh website as a discord. If I were you, that was from 2008. This is a guy named Dunkin' Hard. I am just catching up with it now a year later. This is a lovely song called Easy Horror.
