Back when my novel was first about to be published, I had the same conversation over and over again: “You have a book coming out? What's it called?” “It’s called Ready, Okay!” “Huh? ‘Radio K’?” I heard that so many times that I decided that if by some bizarre circumstance I ever did get a radio show, that was what I would call it. Then “podcasts” became a thing, and here we are. Radio K is currently divided up into two series: Ask/Tell

…in which I discuss interactive fiction with people who are in the same boat I’m in: familiar with the medium, but not 100% familiar with the canonical works of the past several years. I am told that you can subscribe to the show here. #1

Boyhood

…is the name I stuck on the songs that Lizzie and I recorded back when I lived in places where I could play my drum kit without angry neighbors setting my house on fire. One of my chief criteria in selecting a place the next time I move is going to be the ability to record music there, because I’ve got a bunch of songs piling up. But in the meantime, here’s what we did in the ’00s. (The songs below are on the rough side, but I found a tattered magazine from 1992 that told me lo‐fi is all the rage.) from 2007

recorded in San Leandro, California NOW PLAYING Viral Puncture of the Superior Vena Cava

(Adam Cadre) from 2005

recorded in Holyoke, Massachusetts NOW PLAYING August One

(Matthew Amster‐Burton / Adam Cadre) NOW PLAYING My Dirty Shoes

(Adam Cadre) NOW PLAYING I Hate Myself and Want to Die

(Nirvana) from 2004.09

recorded in Halifax, Nova Scotia NOW PLAYING Great Song for Truckers and Bikers

(Matthew Amster‐Burton / Adam Cadre) from 2004.02

recorded in Holyoke, Massachusetts NOW PLAYING Mighty 690

(Adam Cadre) NOW PLAYING Creep

(Radiohead) NOW PLAYING Whip-Smart

(Liz Phair) from 2003

recorded in Holyoke, Massachusetts NOW PLAYING Kinder Kinder

(Adam Cadre) NOW PLAYING On Tonight’s Agenda

(Matthew Amster‐Burton / Adam Cadre) NOW PLAYING Love Makes the World Go Round

(the Powerpuff Girls) As the credits reflect, several of the songs above were based on demos that Matthew Amster‐Burton brought to the band we attempted to start in Seattle in the ’90s; he wrote the vocal and guitar parts, I wrote the bass and drum parts, and then Lizzie and I finally recorded them years later. The one thing I wound up recording with Matthew was a two‐song CD with one of our many drummers‐for‐a‐day; here’s an excerpt: from 1998

recorded in Panorama City, California NOW PLAYING Alright Again (excerpt)

(Matthew Amster‐Burton / Adam Cadre / Stephen Knittle) Finally, if you have any interest in what I listen to, here's a pretty extensive writeup.
