Did you know that until the 1970s in a lot of places (including Kentucky)ambulance service was often provided by a funeral home because they had the vehicles set up to carry people? Did you know that when funerals were held in people's homes that the family often helped with the embalming process? Did you know that when the embalming process occurs there is bodily fluid that is removed and when embalming was done in a home it was usually just buried in the yard? Think about that if you live in a house over say 50 years old.

Yesterday I got all worked up with the gold medal hockey game and now I gotta have some music to calm back down. If you did the same thing, here ya go.

The highlights:

• All Go No Slow you van set your watch to it. Always a consistent show.
• Maximum Rock n Roll has a new show that again reminds us that MRR is the alpha and omega of punk rock.
• Radio Schizo is back in the groove with another great show.
• The Subculture Collective graces us with another Radio Oblivian and The Barstool Preacher.

  As always all the new shows have been added to the radio stream.

  Dave.
