Tales From The Drop Box - Better Than Radio

Tales From The Drop Box - Better Than Radio

As the name suggests each cast explores new interesting and sometimes some great old tunes not likely to be played on the freakin radio. A mix of indie, pop, alternative, punk, and experimental with no commercial breaks and only a little yapping. Cool?

I'm still here! There is not a better way to start the week than with some new tunes. This episode of Tales From The Drop Box explores a very poppy side of the musical world. This week's episode is really a trip through some neglected pop music that inhabits the multiverse and that is not on any popular radio in the U.S. (for the most part). Episode 195 explores that indie pop genre with some lyrically catchy and somewhat dark them...

Well, I'm back again for another week of newish fine-ish music. Thanks for the positive comments. I missed you all as well. So, there should be some candy in this week's episode of Tales From The Drop Box because for some unknown reason there are more pop sounds than usual. So, don't be alarmed if there is not a plethora of heavy music or you missed your favorite punk rock track. We will get back there at some point but for now, . ...

Well I bet you thought that this podcast had evaporated int othe sands of time. It still might, but I'm going to give it a shot. As this is only the 5th Episode of Tales From The Drop Box in 2021, and We've had a vaccine in the time I've been away, I'm hoping that as things now after some clusterfackerry are hopefully heading on a positive trajectory. Maybe it was January 6th that got me sideways, but I'll try to get back on track....

Valentines day. The day after the U.S. Senate's shameful action in acquitting the traitor and insurrection inciter who lead an attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 resulting in the deaths of 5 Americans and numerous injuries to those who defended the same morally bankrupt and timid senators who voted to acquit. Shameful. January 6 marked the day that democracy was rendered meaningless by a corrupt leader but democracy died...

So massively cool you will be a little dizzy after this latest episode of Tales From The Drop Box Episode 191 (2021-03). Another Super Bowl Sunday. I'm not sure I have any skin in the game, but I'll watch because it is a short attention diversion as I am still trapped inside because I am still trying to avoid crowds and gatherings until such time as we ( the royal societal we) are able to resume some type of safe human interaction ...

Sanity returns to government. Honestly, the bar is really low for competence in government and perhaps it is time for people to think about the creatures that they elect to make important decisions about the future. Just a thought that perhaps we need to think about how we educate our citizens moving forward. The issue is not the elected creature but rather that there are a significant number of these morally bankrupt and evil scum...

So, as a starter, happy New Year! I'm glad to be back after a short break. So where are we now a few weeks into a new year? Well, shit is still bad. As you might note by the title to these episodes - we are still in a deadly pandemic. In Los Angeles, where I am located, things are really bad. There are more people dying here every day than at anytime in the past 11 months. While there is hope on the horizon we are experiencing the ...

Positive news on the COVID-19 front lines with the emergency approval of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for distribution in the U.S. This is an important first step in ending the pandemic. Given the large number of people in the U.S., it is going to be quite some time before it gets to the average individual. A look at the CDC Advisory Committee's plan for allocating initial supplies prioritizes 21 million health care workers and...

I hope you enjoyed your week after the thanksgiving holiday. I took the week off llast week and perhaps you noticed there was no new episode for you to listen to last week. Perhaps, not. If you did look for something, I hope you went back and gave a listen to something you might have missed. I truly believe this has been a terrific year for new music. In what could have been a truly horrible year (keep reading) the music that is co...

As anticipated by last weeks Coronavirus explosion in the U.S. , we are going to be in a world of hurt in the U.S. over the next month. It should be not too surprising to anyone who has followed Tales From The Drop Box that not only was this rapid increase in infections anticipated, but sadly, even knowing what we know, the fact that we as a society could have prevented all of this tragedy and refused to do so was also predicable. ...
