    RNRM819: 16 Years of the Manifesto

    Tonight I dug through the archives of the last 16 years and played songs from most of the 25 releases I helped put out into the world, whether they were digital comps, sponsorships, alternate covers or Manifesto versions with OBI strips. Lots of great music. So much, I had a hard time narrowing down the songs to a manageable bunch. I hope you enjoy this look back at RnRM history. Do you have any memories from the show? I would love to hear them.

    RNRM817: 2026 The Music So Far

    Everything tonight was released in the first half of 2026, or will be released slightly later this year. It was fun looking back on all the great stuff that has been released so far. Of course, this only scratches the surface of all the music that came out, but this is the stuff that made its way across my eardrums, and by extension, yours. I also had brand new stuff from Trash Culture and Bart and the Brats (or Brat and the Barts, LOL) , and Knights of Molino. Crank it up!

    Just a heads up, this one starts out a bit heavy, and I don't mean music-wise. Beyond that, we had new stuff from Golden Shitters and Bad Idea, plus lots of songs about this Hellscape we call home.
