ROGC: The Great Rain Drain
LIVE-mixed webcast: January 8th, 2006

PLAYLIST & INFO PAGE HERE!

So the sun has returned to us here in Oakistan… for now. But why let the waters just come and go without a ceremonial seasonal “sayonara”?

Unlike other stations that obsess on day to day weather forecasting, we here at s&S only need to do this once for the entire year.
So, I hope you tuned in to ride the weather front – down, out and away – with a LIVE-mixed wet sound journey with the Royal Oakland Gramophone Company.

Ub Radio #8

This was a special pre-recorded show hosted by dAS of the usual Ub Radio crew. In this yummy little 1/1/’06 gifty-pie, the man thrust a diamond tipped, mp3-encoded shovel deep into the Ub Radio time capsule – to see what long lost treasures would come a-bubblin up. The history of UbRadio is aeons older than appearances on s&S, you see. These nomadic noise makers and hosts have been bringing you delicious warm, noise milk to amuse and challenge since ….um the mid freakin 80′s? (is that right, dAS?)

sounds and performances by:

Freshly Wrapped Candies,
Illusion of Safety,
Monks of Doom,
Crash Worship,
Monte Cazazza,
Negativland,
Randy Grief,
If, Bwana,
Suckdog,
Minoy,
The Haters,
