Basic math can be depressing. Thirty-five years ago was 1991, which was a pretty tumultuous year for rock music (in a good way).

Nevertheless, this week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played new music from Pardoner, Fontaines D.C., Cameron Keiber and Spanish Horses in hour 1 and songs from 1991 in hour 2.

Birthdays come and go, but it's important to celebrate them appropriately. This week marks the 13th birthday of Stuck In Thee Garage and BFF.fm. It's strange to think I've been doing this for so long, but that kind of applies to everything I do, I suppose.
