And to think it all started with an email to Kris Smith.

In the interest, I have done a solo show before on JOY, it was called Something and it was Something…not notable.

And on with the playlist! (By the way, Catastrophic Blog-ettes, the order is artist – song)

The Full Wonder Underground Catastrophe wouldn’t be possible without the help of the following:

And here is last night’s show in a handy dandy portable podcast version perfect for that commute down the Tullamarine, the M5, I-43, or your local ring road.
