Favoriting Cat Bomb! Radio with Maggie Hertz!: Playlist from August 2, 2024 Favoriting

Maggie Hertz!'s avatar View Maggie Hertz!'s profile Favoriting

A show that kinda feels like Casey Kasem cookin’ up crockpot shortwave pirate radio, but with a lot more curbside cassette mixtapes, lost radio serials, French Canadian comedy… and zings, pings, and static. Or, well, maybe it doesn’t feel anything like that at all.

one more supermarket memory... there was a manager, an older man, louie, who was very smart, learned and knew the owner of the chain of supermarkets, and seemed trapped in the job like he made some sort of faustian bargain with the owner...two things... a mouse was caught in a glue trap and he stepped on it and crushed it. it let out a scream. this was in the middle of the store during store hours. home from college for summer i went back to the supermarket. one afternoon louie was seated in the back room on what was probably large bundles of brown paper bags like it was a throne and there were a group of people idiotically fawning over him. louie looked like he was drunk with power... it was like a scene out of a tod browning movie... there and then i quit and thgen worked in a health food store with somewhat equally strange bosses/owners

Shopping Mall housing??
Seems like most shopping malls are out somewhere on the outskirts of some suburban highway.
Away from almost everything else.
Kind of isolated
This has too many elements of a ghetto for me to be comfortable with.
