Primus as Palette Cleanser – Episode 1334

Maybe It’s Time We Talk About This
Recent events in Minneapolis have raised uncomfortable questions about federal authority, accountability, and how easily extraordinary measures can become normalized. This isn’t about panic — it’s about recognizing patterns, asking hard questions, and talking honestly before the next step feels inevitable instead of preventable.
Hollar Into The Void
The Holy Knives
A gritty blend of blues, post-punk, and gothic soul — The Holy Knives deliver two releases that hit hard, haunt deep, and somehow make housecleaning an emotional experience. This is alt-blues for the modern age, and it’s absolutely worth the spin.
Basement Alchemy
Two albums, ten years apart — yet completely intertwined. Heads and Tails from Basement Alchemy are a masterclass in cinematic indie rock evolution, and I didn’t even know what I was ordering when I bought them.

Signal Drift: Current Broadcast
Signal Drift is an original fiction series unfolding one chapter at a time—right here on the blog. Set in a near-future collapse where communication is survival, the story follows a former radio engineer navigating broken networks, old alliances, and strange new signals. Each post is a chapter, and the series is updated regularly. Want to dig deeper into the cast? Meet the characters right here.
Signal Drift: Chapter 15
The town square outside the Viroqua Public Library buzzes with life for the first time since the collapse. As neighbors gather for a community meeting, the stakes become clear: rebuild, reconnect, or fade away. With Joy Luebke leading the charge and Cronauer revealing the return of a long-silent radio signal, the path forward starts to take shape — cautiously, but with purpose.
Signal Drift: Chapter 14
A stranger rolls up with diesel smoke and warnings, carrying news that might just change everything: a meeting, a familiar name, and whispers of movement on the Mississippi. For Cronauer and the crew, it’s the first step toward whatever comes next — and maybe the last chance to build something before it’s all too far gone.
Signal Drift: Chapter 13
Cronauer didn’t remember falling asleep — again. First the dream, now this. Outside, the signal was warming up, and inside the shack, so was the fight.
Signal Drift: Chapter 12
In the stillness of night, Cronauer is visited by a vivid dream — a rush of memory wrapped in warmth, music, and a quiet goodbye. As the past fades, he’s left with a reminder, a call sign, and a feeling he can’t shake.
