Hot off their 2022 LP, A Bit of Previous, comes Belle And Sebastian’s Late Developers. The album comes as a bit of a surprise. There was minimal if any hype before the announcement took place. I recall getting an email from Matador, the band’s longstanding US label, that directed me to (I believe) Belle And…

Belle And Sebastian | If You’re Feeling Sinister | 2007 Matador Reissue Vinyl Unboxing
Time flies, and the older you get, the more that simple statement rings true. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 26 years since Belle And Sebastian released their album If You’re Feeling Sinister, which they dropped way back on November 18, 1996! As I’ve been unboxing my record collection on YouTube and occasionally writing…

On Air at KSVR: March 8, 2013 Playlist
I received a message from Stuarto requesting I cover his show in the late afternoon hours of Friday, March 8. After a minute or two to think about it, I agreed. In all the times I’ve covered for his show over the past year and a half, I have never done a show that gives…

Fense’s Radio Show: November 2, 2012
Brett and I met up a little before 9:30pm at KSVR, spent a few minutes catching up, then organized the selection of records we would play that night. It was a first for me — having a co-host — and it turned out to be a blast. Friday nights from 10pm to midnight can be…

I don’t know when the last time vinyl was played on KSVR, but by the state of the record players it may have been quite a while. I dropped by the studio mid day on Friday to make sure the turntables worked properly, then came home and put together a split show. The first half,…
