Episode 18 is in the barn!  The Barnhouse was an awesome, short-lived house show venue in the University District of Seattle, WA.  Michael, the dude what made it happen, still puts on shows occasionally at his new digs, but it doesn't have a fancy name that I know of, so I'm lumping it all under The Barnhouse!  In addition, you get two extra songs from bands that haven't played the venue, because I'm cool like that.  Enjoy!

Click here to download this episode! Episode 15 is out of order! Normally the first Monday of each month is dedicated to an interview episode. However, this month's interview has been slightly delayed, so rather than post an interview late, I decided to switch this month's episodes around. So, for episode 15, you get a new radio episode, and episode 16 will feature an interview. Hopefully things will be back to normal after that, with another interview for episode 17 and a radio episode for 18. 01:24 - "Public Radio" by Good Luck, from Into Lake Griffy 05:35 - "Sidewalk Girl" by Premise Beach, from At Promise Beach 08:27 - "Blah Blah Jet-Skis Blah Blah Blah" by Partners In 818, from A Well Lit Place For Shady People 11:05 - "Island of Pogo Pogo" by Groovie Ghoulies, from World Contact Day 13:10 - "Mercury Sables, Picnic Tables" by Like Claws!, from Prints And Things 15:45 - "An Open Documentation of Recent Events" by The Taxpayers, from Exhilarating News 20:14 - "Stick Around" by Agatha, from Panic Attack 22:05 - "Let Us Get Murdered" by Andrew Jackson Jihad, from the Ghost Mice / Andrew Jackson Jihad split
