Karl’s coming on thick these days. Ain’t nothin’ foggy about these tunes kickin’ ass though. This episode’s playlist is inspired by a few troves of coolness- Italian psych surf band, Bee Bee Sea (who were on Nino Msk’s show this week!), a recent rewatching of Shrek, and recommended Bay Area musicians. Features Knox Fortune, The Cleaners from Venus, Varsity, Sunwatchers, Marbled Eye, RAYS, Beverly Glenn, Bee Bee Sea, and a couple haunting covers that I argue are better than their original.
