3. The Milk Carton Kids – “Blinded and Smiling”
   from: Lost Cause Lover Fool / Far Cry Records / April 24, 2026
   [On their seventh studio album, Lost Cause Lover Fool (out now on Far Cry/Thirty Tigers), The Milk Carton Kids craft nine songs that, more than ever, invite listeners to lean in close and linger inside the small moments the record quietly magnifies. They share the new single “Blinded and Smiling.” // “This album is, at its core, a collection of songs about transformation,” Pattengale explains. “About the shifting terrain of consciousness and the stories we build to understand who we’ve been, who we are, and who we’re becoming. Each song takes a single moment, sometimes examined with microscopic closeness and sometimes viewed from a great distance, and lets it expand until it becomes an entire world. By enlarging small feelings until they’re inhabitable, the record looks for eternity not in the sweeping or monumental, but in the intimate specifics that usually pass too quickly to notice.” // Musically, the duo continues the subtle expansion of their palette. There’s banjo, drums, choral backing vocals, all pulling toward a unified center. Even as their arrangements grow richer, the goal remains the same. “As we’re adding more and more layers,” Ryan says, “we’re still drawn to the idea of a sound where the pieces give themselves up to the greater whole.” // Lost Cause Lover Fool doesn’t strain for relevance or make a spectacle of itself. It simply pauses long enough for the listener to step inside. It reminds us, gently but insistently, that the smallest moments are often the ones that last.]

8. Anjimile – “Waits For Me”
   rom: You’re Free To Go / 4AD / March 13, 2026
   [Anjimile also released the singles “Waits For Me on March 13, 2026 and “Like You Really Mean It” earlier this year. Today North Carolina based singer-songwriter Anjimile announces plans to release the full-length album You’re Free to Go, due out March 13, 2026 on 4AD. The announcement comes with the luminous lead single “Like You Really Mean It” which overflows with tenderness and vulnerability, accompanied by a beautiful video directed by Caity Arthur. // Anjimile shares: “I wrote this to make my girlfriend want to give me a kiss. We live about an hour apart, and I was just by myself thinking about her. Thinking about wanting a kiss. What could I do to get a kiss from my sweetheart? Write a song about it! Anyway, it worked.” // “Like You Really Mean It” comes after the November single “Auld Lang Syne II,” a tender note-to-self on resilience and hard-fought freedom, characterized by delicate finger-plucked strings, charming horn passages, and intimate vocal delivery, which Stereogum called “stunning” upon its release; a song Anjimile says was: “originally intended as something of a wedding present for my best friend, who got married a few years back.” // Contrasting the intricacy and complexity of The King, You’re Free to Go unfolds organically under the intuitive direction of producer Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Mavis Staples). The album’s songs bloom naturally, grounded in warm acoustic guitars, subtle synth textures, lush string arrangements, and delicate rhythmic layers. Collaborative efforts with musicians Nathan Stocker (Hippo Campus), Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), and guest vocalist Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) – a personal hero of Anjimile whose music deeply influenced the album even before his involvement – cultivate an exploratory yet intimate atmosphere, perfectly aligned with Anjimile’s nuanced storytelling. // Anjimile (ann-JIM-uh-lee) Chithambo has forged a distinctive musical path characterised by unflinching introspection and deep honesty. Emerging from Boston’s vibrant indie scene while studying at Northeastern University, Anjimile captivated audiences with earnest songwriting, delicate sonic textures, and performances that felt like prayer and celebration. // Critical acclaim quickly followed; 2020’s Giver Taker, hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the year’s best albums, positioned him as a compelling voice exploring enduring themes of spirituality, identity, and liberation. With The King(2023), Anjimile intensified his examination of Black and trans existence amid personal and societal turbulence, reaffirming his courageous commitment to navigating discomfort as a means of liberation. // You’re Free to Go picks up where The King left off, but with its hands open wide – a central question being: what happens when you let go and let love in? // Crafted over years marked by transformation, the album traces vividly the profound complexities of change – from breakups to new love; deep grief and loss to renewal and rediscovery. “The past two years have been a deeply transitional point in my life,” Anjimile explains. On You’re Free to Go, he learns to trust life again. The album’s title symbolises Anjimile’s expansive perspective on love and personal freedom, influenced profoundly by his relationship with his partner and their joyful embrace of non-monogamy. He describes this dynamic playfully: “I view non-monogamy as setting out milk every night on your porch for the cats; they can come if they want,” – a reminder that connection thrives when it’s truly chosen and not confined and restricted by normativity. This same playfulness runs through “Rust & Wire” which captures the exhilaration of falling in love again and again (“ripen in the heat like wine”). // Elsewhere, You’re Free to Go explores heavier, darker truths; ‘Exquisite Skeleton’ hauntingly portrays the ache of familial estrangement and ‘Ready or Not’ the exhaustion of facing transphobia. “When I was a little girl, I wanted to be free… When I was a little boy, I wanted to be real.”, he disarmingly reflects on “Waits For Me,” a powerful reckoning on childhood identity. But even in its most searching moments, the record radiates light. // Each song holds space for healing – for turning pain into something tender, communal, and free. // Spirituality remains the heartbeat of Anjmile’s work. “Songwriting feels like a prayer, a plea, or a question,” he says. Across You’re Free to Go, sacredness feels alive and imperfect — a practice of breathing, wondering, forgiving. The album hums with that same sacred energy: messy and full of grace. // Throughout You’re Free to Go, Anjimile skilfully integrates a variety of musical inspirations to heighten the album’s emotional impact. Tracks such as “Turning Away” and “The Store” channel the raw and unadorned authenticity reminiscent of early Modest Mouse. The collaboration with Sam Beam on “Destroying You” adds a gentle warmth that beautifully complements Anjimile’s refined vocal expression. Melodically, the album evokes a subtle nostalgia for late-’90s alternative pop, seamlessly blending folk sensibilities into inviting, memorable hooks. Anjimile has notably evolved, adopting a more relaxed and expressive approach to his singing, partly due to his ongoing hormonal therapy – a transformative journey he embraces gladly. This newfound vocal depth amplifies the album’s emotional resonance, allowing him to express himself with greater authenticity. // As Anjimile prepares to share You’re Free to Go live, he envisions intimate performances that reinterpret rather than replicate the album’s recordings. He aims for the authenticity and vulnerability embedded in these songs to resonate deeply, emphasising, “This record feels very authentic to my life experiences. It’s about as close to getting to know me as you could ever get with a record.” // You’re Free to Go is a portrait of transformation — not as a wound, but as an opening. Richly textured, this collection of songs is an honest reflection of life’s fluctuations. It holds space for contradiction and finds liberation in tenderness. As Anjimile beautifully articulates, the album embodies “breathing into the question,” acknowledging that life’s most profound moments often come without clear answers, but rather exist in the gentle tension of uncertainty and discovery. In every note, Anjimile provides space for each listener to reflect and uncover their own truths, while gently reminding us that freedom isn’t the absence of pain, but the courage to love, to ask, to keep beginning again.]

It is a bold statement of who he is today and a testament to the creative vision he has spent years refining.

10:33– Interview with Warren Williams

Warren Williams, host of Dub’s Groove Wednesdays 4:00pm to 6:00pm on 90.1 FM KKFI. Dub focuses on Old-School R & B, Funky Jazz, Latin, and Gospel music from the 60s and 70s and how different genres can fit together nicely. He heavily researches the music and artists and tells stories from that research and from his experiences working with artists and for record labels for many years. Warren worked in promotion at Elektra/Asylum Rcords in the 1970s and at Columbia Records into the 1980s. Wednesday, June 24, 2026 will be Dub’s last show as he wants to have more time to be with his family.

Warren Williams thanks for being with us on Wednesday MidDay Medley

Warren Williams worked in Promotion at Elektra/Asylum Records from 1973 to 1976 in Los Angeles, California.

Elektra, along with its Nonesuch Records subsidiary, was acquired by Kinney National Services in 1970, which changed its name to Warner Communications (now Warner Music Group) in 1972. Soon afterwards, Kinney consolidated their label holdings under the Warner-Elektra-Atlantic umbrella. Holzman remained in charge of Elektra until 1972, when it merged with Asylum Records to become Elektra/Asylum Records; Asylum’s founder, David Geffen, headed the newly combined label. Holzman, in the meantime, was appointed senior vice president and chief technologist for Warner — ushering the company into home video and the first interactive cable system. Holzman also went on to acquire Discovery Records. In 1975, Geffen stepped down when he was told that he had a terminal illness; He later was revealed to have been falsely diagnosed. He was replaced by Joe Smith, who later went on to become CEO of Capitol Records.

Warren Williams worked in Promotion and A&R at Columbia Records from January 3, 1976 to 1983 in Los Angeles, California.

During this period, Columbia scored a Top 40 hit with the Pink Floyd single “Another Brick in the Wall”, and its parent album The Wall would spend four months at No. 1 on the Billboard LP chart in early 1980, but few in the industry knew that Dick Asher was in fact using the single as a covert experiment to test the extent of the pernicious influence of The Network – by not paying them to promote the new Pink Floyd single. The results were immediate and troubling – not one of the major radio stations in Los Angeles would program the record, despite the fact that the group was in town, performing the first seven concerts on their elaborate The Wall Tour at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena to rave reviews and sold-out crowds. Asher was already worried about the growing power of The Network, and the fact it operated entirely outside the control of the label, but he was profoundly dismayed to realize that “The Network” was in effect a huge extortion racket, and that the operation could well be linked to organized crime – a concern vehemently dismissed by Yetnikoff, who resolutely defended the “indies” and declared them to be “mensches”. But Dick Asher now knew that The Network’s real power lay in their ability to prevent records from being picked up by radio, and as an experienced media lawyer and a loyal CBS employee, he was also acutely aware that this could become a new payola scandal which had the potential to engulf the entire CBS corporation, and that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could even revoke CBS’ all-important broadcast licenses if the corporation was found to be involved in any illegality.

The 1980s and sale to Sony – The structure of US Columbia remained the same until 1980, when it spun off the classical/Broadway unit, Columbia Masterworks Records, into a separate imprint, CBS Masterworks Records.

In 1988, the CBS Records Group, including the Columbia Records unit, was acquired by Sony, which re-christened the parent division Sony Music Entertainment in 1991.

“Dub’s Groove” originally aired on Thursday mornings 2:00am to 4:00am. The show moved to Wednesdays 4:00 to 6:00pm in 2023

Dub created a show featuring primarily old school RnB and funky jazz but I also gospel, Latin, reggae, and other World music.

Soulful music – primarily old school RnB and funky jazz with a focus on funky, rhythmic music. Anyone who appreciates soulful, rhythmic music. Because of the eras that the music is from, it will attract an older demographic but many young people appreciate old school music as well.

Warren heavily researches the music and artists and tells stories from that research and from his experiences working with artists and for record labels for many years. Warren has great passion for the music and the artists. A large majority of the music he plays is from Black and Brown artists. He has played over 3000 different songs on his shows.

From wikipedia:
Jonathan Van Ness was born March 28, 1987, to parents Mary Winters and Jonathan Lyle Van Ness, and raised in Quincy, Illinois. He said he comes “from a family of journalists”, being the sixth generation of his family-owned newspaper. This refers to broadcast and newspaper conglomerate Quincy Media and the company’s local flagship newspaper, the Herald-Whig; Van Ness’s mother is the vice president of Quincy Media, and he is a descendant of the Oakley family, which has controlled the company since the 1890s. Van Ness’s 9th great-grandmother, Patience Bacon Miller, was one of the founders of Northampton, Massachusetts, and was the first female surgeon in America. // When Van Ness was younger, he was sexually abused by an older boy at church, which laid the foundation for self-destructive behaviors. In his early teens, he used online chat to socialize with older men, and sometimes meet with them for sex. // Openly gay throughout his life, Van Ness experienced bullying for his femininity and natural flamboyance. He “endured years of judgment, ridicule, and trauma”. Of the time, Van Ness said, “Growing up I definitely put on every nail polish, every heel, every scarf – I definitely had my mom’s knockoff Hermès scarves in my hair and around my waist – those were my skirts, and I loved it. … But when I was really young, I had really femme-shamey, gender-shamey [reactions] when I would dress like that. When I would play with those things, I knew it needed to be … behind closed doors.” Although always comfortable in his gender expression and sexuality, he says it took time to navigate other people’s reactions. In response to the bullying, he used humor as a coping mechanism and relied on a small group of close friends for support. // Years later, in the late 2010s, he realized he was gender non-conforming and came out as non-binary. He uses they/them, he/him, and she/her pronouns. // Van Ness was the first male cheerleader at Quincy Senior High School and continued cheerleading in college at the University of Arizona, where he majored in political science. One month in his initial semester at college, he used his monthly allowance on cocaine and, too embarrassed to ask his parents for funds, turned to sex work. His addictions to sex and drugs increased to also include methamphetamine. His grades fell, and he lost his cheerleading scholarship; he dropped out after one semester to pursue hairstyling. // Van Ness trained at the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis. After graduating, he worked in Arizona for five years, before moving to Los Angeles in 2009. // In Los Angeles, Van Ness found a job as a personal assistant at Sally Hershberger Salon. One day in 2012, at age 25, he fainted in the salon while doing highlights for a client’s hair. Later at a clinic, he found out he was HIV-positive. He used the revelation to get clean from drug use and publicly shared his story, saying, “I want people to realize you’re never too broken to be fixed.” // He worked at MoJoHair and Stile Salon, both in Los Angeles, which he co-founded with Monique Northrop of Arte Salon in New York City. // In 2013, while dressing the hair of friend Erin Gibson, who worked for the comedy syndicate Funny or Die, Gibson asked Van Ness to perform his recap of a Game of Thrones episode for Funny or Die, which became the Gay of Thrones web series In 2018, Van Ness was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series for the series.
// Since 2015, Van Ness has hosted the weekly podcast Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness. His podcast took off upon the airing of the first Queer Eye episode. // Beginning in 2018, Van Ness has starred as the grooming expert on the Netflix revival of Queer Eye. // Van Ness’s memoir, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love, was published in October 2019. His memoir discusses his past and how it helped sculpt his future. // In 2020, Van Ness released a picture book titled Peanut Goes for the Gold, which tells the story of a nonbinary guinea pig named Peanut and their adventures as a rhythmic gymnastics prodigy. Peanut is inspired by Van Ness’s own childhood pet. // In 2022 Van Ness released a collection of essays in a book titled Love That Story: Observations from a Gorgeously Queer Life. // Van Ness is non-binary. Although he has stated a preference for using the pronouns he/him, he has also used she/her and they/them interchangeably. He explained his gender in an interview with Out, saying, “Some days I feel like a man, but then other days I feel like a woman. I don’t really — I think my energies are really all over the place. Any opportunity I have to break down stereotypes of the binary, I am down for it, I’m here for it.” However, on his Instagram account, the pronouns displayed by order of preferences are they/he/she. // Van Ness lives and works in Austin, Texas and New York City. He has psoriasis, a chronic skin condition, and advises clients on skin care. In 2019, he revealed that he is HIV positive. // On April 4, 2019, Van Ness, Bobby Berk, Tan France, and Antoni Porowski visited Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to discuss the Equality Act, a bill that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of classes protected in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On September 25, Van Ness announced his endorsement of Elizabeth Warren for president in 2020 based upon healthcare being a human right. // On June 23, 2020, Van Ness and Queer Eye costar Bobby Berk praised recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions that ruled that LGBT employment discrimination was a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Van Ness described the ruling as “a great step in the right direction”. However, both of them still urged the United States Congress to pass the proposed Equality Act, which passed the House but ultimately stalled in the Senate following a filibuster. // In December 2020, Van Ness revealed that he had married his partner, Mark Peacock, earlier that year. // Bibliography — Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love (2019); Peanut Goes for the Gold (2020); Love That Story: Observations from a Gorgeously Queer Life (2022)

10. The Forcefields – “The Symphony Of All Things”
    from: Symphony Of All Things / Frickin’ Awesome Records / June 6, 2026
    [Debut 9-track album from The Forcefields is a cosmosonic collaboration between Julia Othmer and James T Lundie AKA Aayama & Max Forcefield. The Forcefields made their first debut with the presentation TRANSMISSION for the Charlotte Street Foundation series, In(SITE), highlighting local, regional, and national acts at pivotal points in their practices. In a multidisciplinary collaboration with artists Simon Huntley, Sarah Hearn, and Mikal Shapiro, Transmission was an exploration of cosmic vibrations and soundscapes in a stunning one-night-only production. // Julia Othmer grew up in Kansas City and studied at Columbia University in New York City. The child of European refugees, she draws from a broad and richly cultured palette of experience to create her intensely human yet otherworldly songs. Her piano-driven performances are a mesmerizing and superconscious fusion of raw power, vocal artistry and joy. She played many local KC clubs including Jardine’s and Bar Natasha. Julia moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to record her 1st album, OASIS MOTEL. When Julia started planning to record her second album she traveled all the way to England to work with producer James Lundie. On a dark night in North London, singer-songwriter Julia Othmer landed on the front steps of producer-composer James T Lundie. She had been introduced to his music production and fell so deeply in love with his sonic architecture, she transported herself across the proverbial pond from LA to the UK, and refused to leave until he listened to her songs. This began a deeply creative and inspired partnership both in music and in life. Together they have released (under Julia’s name) studio recordings, live recordings, short films to accompany their work, a multi-media performance experience, and multiple social and environmental justice initiatives. James T. Lundie married Julia in January of 2016, during the completion of the record. The album “Sound,” was released on April 12, 2019. Leading up to the 2020 presidential election Julia & James released Seeds (Vol. 1) in 2020, and SEEDS (Vol. 2) in 2022. In the midst of these releases Julia and James relocated to Kansas City. Last year in April of 2024 Julia and James unveiled their newest creation, THE FORCEFIELDS featuring, reimagined vintage synthesizers, video projections, one of a kind instruments. // In 2021 Julia and James relocated to KC, and they recently unveiled their newest creation, a new expanding sonic & visual aesthetic called THE FORCEFIELDS. Their sound is evolving into what is described as Annie Lennox hosting a full moon party with The Beach Boys and Portishead gathered round the fire. Their studio recordings feature James’ unique sonic tools, reimagined vintage synthesizers, audireting and distilling the essence of two of Julia’s previous songs.]

11:06 – Interview with Julia Othmer, & James Lundie

Julia Othmer and James T Lundie aka Max and Aayama Forcefield of The Forcefields join us to talk about their debut 9-track album, Symphony Of All Things, released on June 6, 2026. The Forcefields is a cosmosonic collaboration between Julia Othmer and James T Lundie. The Forcefields made their performance debut with the presentation TRANSMISSION for the Charlotte Street Foundation series, In(SITE). Recently The Forcefields have been touring around the United Kingdom. The Forcefields will be performing LIVE in Kansas City on July 18 at The Warwick Theatre.

Max and Aayama Forcefield aka Julia Othmer, & James Lundie, Thanks for being with us on Wednesday MidDay Medley

For the past three months The Forcefields have been in Europe, touring the UK and France, including two performances at a 17th century chateau.

The Forcefields were hosted by UpCo Arts in England – an arts collective of activist/punks: photographer Casey Orr, painter Josh Sutton, and musician Boff Whalley (of Chumbawamba

The Forcefields have an upcoming show at the Warwick Theatre on July 18.

The Forcefields invite people to become members of the FORCEFIELDS, creating their own persona/name and being inducted into the The Forcefields Ledger of Frickin’ Awesomeness and our magical mystical question cards from the universe.

Our mission is to come together to raise the cosmic vibration

The Forcefields will be heading back overseas for more UK touring in the autumn.

Julia Othmer & James T Lundie join us to share new music from their project The Forcefields. Julia Othmer, is a graduate of Park Hill High School and studied at Columbia University in New York City. The child of European refugees, she draws from a broad and richly cultured palette of experience to create her intensely human yet otherworldly songs. Her piano-driven performances are a mesmerizing and superconscious fusion of raw power, vocal artistry and joy. She played many local KC clubs including Jardine’s and Bar Natasha.

Julia moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to record her 1st album, OASIS MOTEL. When Julia started planning to record her second album she traveled all the way to England to work with producer James Lundie. On a dark night in North London, singer-songwriter Julia Othmer landed on the front steps of producer-composer James T Lundie. She had been introduced to his music production and fell so deeply in love with his sonic architecture, she transported herself across the proverbial pond from LA to the UK, and refused to leave until he listened to her songs. This began a deeply creative and inspired partnership both in music and in life. James T. Lundie married Julia in January of 2016, during the completion of the record. The album “Sound,” was released on April 12, 2019.

Leading up to the 2020 presidential election Julia & James released Seeds (Vol. 1) on November 13, 2020. “Seeds” was Julia Othmer’s 3rd full length album and contained 10 live songs selected from her 30-day Songs of September Project, where Julia performed a different live cover of her favorite songs and broadcast the performance throughout the streaming social media platforms to inspire people to register and vote on November 3. From those songs Julia’s fans democratically selected their favorite tracks to be released together on “Seeds.” In March 20, 2022 Julia Othmer released SEEDS VOLUME 2, her 4th album, and second of live recordings from her 30-day “Songs of September Project”, where Julia covered songs of protest & hope, to inspire people to vote in 2020. In the midst of these releases Julia and James relocated to Kansas City.

In April of 2024 Julia and James unveiled their newest creation, THE FORCEFIELDS featuring, reimagined vintage synthesizers, video projections, one of a kind instruments. Together they have released studio recordings, live recordings, short films to accompany their work, a multi-media performance experience, and multiple social and environmental justice initiatives.

The Forcefields emerged from a woodland shed on England’s southern shores, blending mystic soundscapes with life force and mystery. Founders Julia Othmer and James Lundie, as alter egos Max and Aayama Forcefield, craft vivid live experiences with epic visuals and emotional, esoteric energy—imagine a full moon disco by a bonfire with Annie Lennox, Portishead, and The Beach Boys.

Inspired to take their collaboration to the next level, they are creating a new expanding sonic and visual aesthetic with their project: THE FORCEFIELDS.

Their sound is evolving into what is described as Annie Lennox hosting a full moon party with The Beach Boys and Portishead gathered round the fire. Their studio recordings feature James’ unique sonic tools, reimagined vintage synthesizers, audireting and distilling the essence of two of Julia’s previous songs, BRIDGE is a rhythmic, multi-layered and richly textured exploration of letting go and positive self realization.

Julia writes: Our first two singles: “Slip Away” and “Frickin Awesome Part Two” were kind of an EP called Bridge. Those songs were a Sonic Bridge between the work we had done under my name and what is now being created through the FORCEFIELDS.

Their sound is evolving into what is described as Annie Lennox hosting a full moon party with The Beach Boys and Portishead gathered round the fire. Their studio recordings feature James’ unique sonic tools, reimagined vintage synthesizers, audio gear and rebuilt, one-of-a-kind instruments, heard nowhere else in the world.

Their debut EP, BRIDGE, (released in 2024) was a sonic bridge between their previous work together and this new trajectory. Reinterpreting and distilling the essence of two of Julia’s previous songs, BRIDGE is a rhythmic, multi-layered and richly textured exploration of letting go and positive self realization. Julia & James premiered The Forcefields with a multi-media, live music experience called Transmission, February 23, 2024 in the Stern Theater at Charlotte Street Foundation, 3333 Wyoming St, KCMO.

The Forcefields released their 9-track debut album, Symphony Of All Things on June 6, 2026.

12. Sara Bellum and the Brainwaves – “Outside”
    from: Outside” – Single / Enigmatic Brunch Records / March 11, 2026
    [Sara Bellum and the Brainwaves are a 7-piece dance punk band based in Kansas City, Missouri. Their music combines danceable rhythms, rockin’ guitar riffs, and upbeat melodies paired with the uncommon instrumentation of viola, keytar, and foley art. The band’s inception began in theatre school where lead vocalist Sara Bellum first met guitarist MC Burnie Beta, sound designer Theo Theta, and vocalist/keytarist Zesty Zeta. Although it took many years for the band to fully form, these friendships developed the ground-work of what the group would become. After meeting violist Gemma Gamma, drummer Delma Delta, and bassist Athen Alpha, the band was fully assembled in late 2024, began performing live in January 2025, and started recording in April 2025. With the departure of Athen Alpha to attend college at the end of 2025, the Brainwaves welcomed bassist/keys player Spencer Synapse to join the group. Just as their name emphasizes the brain, much of the Brainwaves’ music and art focuses on mental health and healing. With the belief that mental health is just as important as physical health, they wish to build a loving community with their art. // Sara Bellum and the Brainwaves played a single release show at The RINO 314 Armour Rd, North Kansas City, Friday, March 13, at 8:00pm with The 58 Overhead, and Katie & Michael.]

14. Get Smart! – “Just For The Moment”
    from: Action Reaction / Fever Records – Enigma / 1984
    [Debut album by American Post-punk band Get Smart!, released on Enigma Records’ “Fever” imprint in 1984. / It was originally announced, in Nebraska’s “Capitol Punishment”, that the album would be released on the “Fresh Sounds” label, which had previously released the band’s debut single and the “Fresh Sounds” cassette, but the band eventually signed with the Philadelphia based “Fever Records” / The album was originally recorded by Michael McGee and produced by Taylor Ross at Media Sound in Oklahoma City. Ross then recruited Iain Burgess to remix the album for release at Chicago Recording Company in Chicago. // An earlier version of “Ankle Deep In Mud” had appeared on their debut single, “Numbers and Colours”, and an earlier version of “Black Mirror” has appeared on the “Sub Pop #7” compilation cassette. // All songs were written by the band, except for “Ankle Deep In Mud” which was written by Vance Lyons, and “Black Mirror” where the lyrics were written by Vance Lyons and the music was written by Get Smart!. (Vance Lyons had played with Marc Koch in a previous band called the Battling Tops.) // Side 1 and Side 2 were originally supposed to be reversed, as the album was supposed to start with “On And On” and then end with “You’ve Got To Stop” (i.e. it would start with “On” and end with “Stop”), but for some unknown reason this was reversed in the final product. // Get Smart! formed in Lawrence, KS in 1980. The group helped to solidify Lawrence as an alternative music hotbed and toured extensively, performing 300 shows in six years. They released a flexi-disc and Words Move, a 4-track EP in 1981. In 1983 they relocated to Chicago. Their first LP, “Action Reaction” was released in 1984. The band’s second LP, “Swimming With Sharks” was released in 1986. During seven years of relentless touring, Get Smart! earned a national reputation for intense live shows and edged their way onto college radio playlists with their first two LPs, Action Reaction (1984) and Swimming With Sharks (1986). In January, 1987, the band began work on their third album with seminal recording engineer, Iain Burgess. In 1990 Get Smart! Disbanded. These recordings were archived for 33 years until Get Smart! reformed in 2020 and released the album OH YEAH NO on November 17, 2020 with the aim of matching their live sound, the band commissioned Steve Albini to craft the final mixes with them. These six songs prove that the tension and inspiration shown on their first LPs was no idle promise. Get Smart! played a special Reunion Show, Saturday, November 6, 2021 at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Lawrence, KS with Pedaljets, Other Geese, Boy Soprano, and DJ Ray Velasquez.
