All the way from Brunswick, Maine…
It’s the pulsating sac of sound! Or in other words, that’s my old friend Chris Felax’s live radio show broadcast from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. Chris spins new indie rock, electro, 80’s dance, pop culture snippets, new wave, techno and anything else that fits his fancy. Most music is so new that it hasn’t been released yet. Ever since I’ve known Chris (this goes back over 15 years ago) he’s been on the cutting edge of the music scene and owned more CDs than anyone else I knew in college (now having thousands of albums on his computer). He even taught me how to play Plush by the Stone Temple Pilots on the guitar. I know, I know, not cutting edge but I couldn’t resist mentioning. He also had this luscious long hair that would make the best of grunge rockers jealous. Oh, the early 90s! He was also in a short-lived band at the University of Michigan with Don Blum of The Von Bondies and Josh Tillingast of Transmission. Chris also goes by DJ Throatslice come October and has recorded his own home-brewed horror music made especially for Halloween and all things creepy that you can find on iTunes.
So lemme reel myself in here back to the point of this blog, the pulsating sac of sound! You should definitely check it out!

You know I used to live in Camden and Port Clyde, Maine, about an hour or so north of Brunswick and that radio station kept me sane!
Maine is freakin’ beautiful but the music scene is starving. When you live on a boat you really need some jams.
AYUH!
Wow, interesting guy, especially about his collaboration with Don Blum. VBs kick it.
I’ll listen next week.
