If I Should Fall Behind by Douglas Smith

The Trolley Problem becomes even more problematic when it is the whole universe on the track and the love of your life on the siding, but our hero finds a rather unique solution.

Growths by Nina Kiriki Hoffman

Sugar Steak by Jenny Kiefer

Flossing won’t help much after a meal of sugar steak.

Pairs well with Shinya Tsukamoto’s 1989 body-horror film “Tetsuo: The Iron Man.”

On the Matter of Homo Sapiens by Kel Coleman

Three robots on a geocache scavenger hunt left by extinct humans discuss the ethics of bringing back homo sapiens.

Would make for a good episode of Love, Death and Robots.

Here is my audio recording of Jaik Willis' set. It was hot as h*ll and so was Jaik.

Mixing together blues, originals, some Dylan and even beatboxing, Jaik drew the folks outta the shade.

Extra bases for adding 3 inches by having his hat perched precariously on top of his head.

#OliverWood Trio

Here is a link to the full set audio.

For those unfamiliar with Oliver Wood, he is one of our great songwriters. Be sure to give a listen to Postcards From Hell, a tune that has some sage and sound advice for creative folk.

For those who are familiar with Oliver Wood, checkout out his new tune "Molasses" about a strange, tragic, and true event that happened in Boston on January 15, 1919.
