[Due to ongoing tech difficulties I'm offering the show as a podcast for your downloading or streaming pleasure: click for HOUR ONE or HOUR TWO. thanks for your patience]

Howdy Hard Math Listeners! Boy, do we have a treat for you this week. Two Treats. One new track from What Doesn't Kill You (Tries Again), the new album from The Hand, and an approved leak from the forthcoming Finn Riggin's record Vs. Wilderness.

On a technical note... the show seems to have been playing a bit more consistently the past couple of weeks. I'm going to skip the podcast this week, but I'll leave last week’s up if anyone wants some on-demand Idaho rock.

8-11-09 playlist & podcast

This week the man who brought us “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club” is dead. John Hughes shaped the cultural perception of 80’s teenage life and rebellion and played some great new wave tunes in the processes. In tribute we visit the key track from The Suffocation Keep's John Hughes Was Never So Wrong. We’re all still waiting for our lives to be just like that John Hughes movie. (Podcast below)
