Most recent episode of my radio show, which airs every other Friday from 6-8 pm PST on 104.9 FM KHUH Hollow Earth Radio in Seattle (streamable on hollowearthradio.org and the TuneIn app). All episodes are also archived on my site, linked above.
Electrique Boutique explores minimal synth, cold wave, lo-fi/diy electronic, post-punk, private press, and other leftfield oddities primarily from the late 70s & early 80s (plus music that inspired these and songs that follow in their footsteps all the way to today). I write, record, host, and self-finance every episode. I’ve put countless hours of work and research into my show, and I hope the fruits of my labor are well worth the effort.
This episode, I feature Young Marble Giants, Cleaners From Venus, Cindy Lee, Carla dal Forno, and Lena Platonos among others. Plus transmissions from Scotland, Portugal, Nebraska, and the former Republic of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo). Check it out if you enjoy groups like Cabaret Voltaire, Joy Division, Broadcast, Molchat Doma, Black Marble, Chromatics, and the like.

If you’re into Kraftwerk, Closer by Joy Divison, Cold Cave, Molchat Doma, Black Marble… your stripped down, lo-fi electronic music, then maybe give it a listen!

I feel like all music nerds join their college radio station because their friends no longer want to hear them rave about some underground artist who hasn't made music since 2011...
I'm one of those music nerds.

My right arm currently has ten bird tats on it. It’s a toss up between these two:
- The indigo bunting, which is dedicated to a friend of mine who helped me through a really bad time in my life. We bonded over birdwatching when we first met, and the indigo bunting is her favorite bird.
- The ivory-billed woodpecker, simply because it’s my favorite bird. Unfortunately extinct, though every few years a possible sighting is reported in the southern US. Its nickname is The Lord God Bird, because that’s what a birdwatcher would shout if they ever saw one.

At its best, it rivals the golden years of The Simpsons in my book, and that’s about the highest praise I can give a show. So so funny and creative, relentlessly bleak, and a relatable love of 80s alternative culture.
