Stuck In Thee Garage #648: September 4, 2026

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. Anyway, it's been a blast to watch the station grow into a San Francisco institution (soon to get its own spot on the terrestrial radio dial) and I've enjoyed making close to 1,300 hours of radio (yikes!). 

To celebrate, I've got new music from Pardoner, Dinosaur Jr. and Upper Wilds in hour 1 and songs about teenagers in hour 2. Time for a super soft birthday party!

One of the great things about rock music is that it can be about anything: Love, hate, unicorns running across a meadow, you name it. It's also a great way to protest something.

Stuck In Thee Garage #633: May 22, 2026

We like it loud on Stuck In Thee Garage, but sometimes it's good to mix it up. This week, I played songs about quiet in hour 2 of the show (after playing new music from Social Distortion, the Mountain Goats and Telehealth in hour 1).

Stuck In Thee Garage #632: May 15, 2026

When you start thinking about the passage of time too closely, it can get a little overwhelming. For example, it has been 45 years since 1981, which is kinda nuts, but when you realize that 45 years before THAT was 1936, that's really unnerving. All of which is to say I played songs from 1981 in hour 2 of Stuck In Thee Garage this week (after playing new music from Drakulas, Conscious Pilot, Cola and the Lemon Twigs in hour 1). It's most definitely o-tay!
