Is this thing on? Okay, um this is Agony Shorthand Radio. It is time once again for the Agony Shorthand Radio program. This is the fifth edition of said program. My name is Jay. I'm the host of the program, and you just heard San Kazagascar from Sacramento, California, the home of my childhood, and now the home of San Kasagascar, who have a brand new record out called This Slog. And they've put out quite a few before this one. Uh the song you heard was called Millionaire's Rug. And if you like what you heard, you want to get moving on that thing, there's an edition of 100, which is either an indictment of our current record buying environment, or I don't know, maybe it'd be cool and they'll do it a hundred more times and a hundred more times after that a few people buy it. But yeah, Billionaire Rug now on their own ladder record. Here we are again, only a week after the latter one. I hope you enjoyed Agony Shorthand before and if you haven't, we'll do AgonyForthand.com. Here we are. And this was like a three day like a day I didn't show and a night show on Saturday, and then on Friday, and then I don't know, it was like 2021 days. So anyway, Piggy Banker from Portland and Jason who was in and probably still is in Holy Conditioner and a few other things as well. They put out a tape in 2025 that of course I never heard of, because I never heard of Piggy Bank until the moment they started playing. But the tape was called Pattern Recognition. You can find it on Bandcamp. The band again is Piggy Bank, and this track is called Unknown Head. Which one? Which one the complex or the highway? I stay in the complex by the highway. Which one? Which one the complex or the highway? The one by all the grapes. The one with all the fades I stay in the complex by the highway. I stay in the complex by the highway. Which one, which one the complex or the highway? I stay in the complex by the highway. Which one? Which one the complex or the highway? The one by all the grapes. The one with all the baits. Which one? Which one the complex or the highway? I stay in the complex by the highway. The complex by the highway. The one by all the graves. The one with all the faithful. That is about as good as it gets. That is like one of mankind's greatest achievements. The Meat Puppets in 1981, 1982, right? I mean, uh Moonlanding, uh, electricity, fire, and those uh early records by Meat Puppets. That was Electro Mud from their 1982 debut album, Meat Puppet. Uh no, no, no. For them, we heard Royal Dragon Gold version of a song that would later be on their first album. From their 1988, we have a record. I didn't know about the record in the record. What I can tell you a lot about because Atlantic collaboration anywhere. Somebody's in Dallas or somebody is in Dallas. And then I'm in York in the UK. Take a step outside trying to save the day. A dissenting sea. And I guess you have to be a murder to live besides that. Aside from growing gold, and I don't mind cleaning up the musia. If I know what's nice, I will defense help my sight. I know it doesn't feel like nothing. I know it doesn't feel like nothing anymore. Anymore. Cleaning up the map music. If I know what's not, I won't be fine, tell my sky. I know it doesn't feel like nothing. I know it doesn't feel like nothing anymore. Anymore. Nothing. La la la la la la la Nothing. La la la la la la Nothing. La la la la la la Nothing anymore. Anymore. Fire this guy and chastinate the last leading yearbook four years running. Always got to be the iron who is creating fancy eyes like everybody else about getting into the movies. And as soon as she could manage it, we are up the freeway and looking for some red living space in Hollywood. Aside from being just about the only doper she knew who didn't use heroin, which freed up a lot of time for both of them. Never figured out what else she might have seen in him. Not that they were even together that long. Soon enough, she was answering casting calls and getting some fear work on stage and off. And they each gradually located a different comic thermal about the male lack of each into a different thing. Now she was laying some heavy combination of face ingredients on the dog that he couldn't read at all. Of course it does. It did. The one whose roof caved in, uh, the kind of place that the New York dolls kind of made famous. That was from a recently come out called After Hours Live at Mercer Art Center. New Year's Eve, 1973. And again, you heard the dragon of the world before that. We heard Johnny Greenway doing that. The movie that I saw in the years. It is called More Lies. It's by the Retail Simpson. It sounds like this. Goodbye to change, goodbye to Jane, she's a dark horse, if she can. Goodbye to Jane, goodbye to Jane, painting up her like a fancy old man. She's a queen, let you see what I mean. She's a queen. See, see, she's a queen, and I know, she's alright, alright, alright, alright. I say you saw yours, oh yeah.
