from NO FUTURE (buy)

Hether Fortune is the person who runs the show we fondly know as Wax Idols.  Her and her band have just finished recording Wax Idols' second, as yet untitled to the general public, LP.  It seemed a fitting time to try to catch up with her about what we can expect from the follow up to the much loved NO FUTURE, and hear about what types of shit she loved in the past, what types of shit she loves at the moment, but not necessarily anything about love in general.  And, she was gracious enough to take part and enlighten us a bit more about the person you probably think you already know, but really don't.   

Hether also curated a captivating YouTube playlist that she's called RIGOR & RELEVANCE and it's sprinkled through the interview below.  You can get yourself an audio copy of the playlist right here.

[guest mix] RYAN SMITH (KXLU)

Ryan Smith is some dude that studied film at Loyola Marymount University and merrily hosted a little radio show broadcasting from LMU every Wednesday from 9am to 12pm on on KXLU 88.9 FM.  He's off in Texas now filming a documentary, and he's been kind enough to put together quite the guest mix for CHROMEWAVES RADIO.

He is originally from San Antonio in the swell state of Texas where he grew up on jalapenos, the 13th Floor Elevators, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the tall tales of Davy Crockett. He enjoys margaritas, barbeque, and not having been bitten by rattlesnakes. He's a very friendly chap and you can find him over at Twitter, Facebook, ex.fm, and Last.fm.  Be sure to stream, download, and SHARE the mix above to your heart's content.  You can also check it out at CHROMEWAVES RADIO's 8tracks page. The playlist and commentary are after the jump.

[guest mix] GET BENT

Get Bent and CHROMEWAVES RADIO got together to swap guest mixes today.  For those that may not know, Get Bent is a kick-ass blog providing news, reviews, and features about underground garage and punk rock written by and for the fans.  The Get Bent crew is made up of a sizeable team of writers from pretty much all over the place.  They all have tastes quite similar to mine and that must be why I get along with them so well.  Stream Get Bent's playlist from the 8tracks player above, or from the CHROMEWAVES RADIO 8tracks page, and download it right here.  Tracklisting and commentary is after the jump...Enjoy this shit!

You can check out my mix for Get Bent over there or on Spotify.
