I started a weekly Substack newsletter called THE WEEKLY EH?! to HIGHlight FIVE things FOR the current week in the highway 95/a area where I blahg from + 4 other things of Some Locals’ Interests!
Episode 102 opens with Open Mike Eagle trying to find the signal & before things close out with some breathing advice, you’ll hear: Elvis in the freezer, a Wilco cover, Racecar Circling into a Cycle and a bunch more musical niceness.
