Slacker

Russell Martin, your football is shit.

Slacker in the morning.

You're getting slacker in the morning.

Slacker in the morning.

You're getting slacker in the morning

[graphics whooshing] Yeah, I wish I'd saved that, um, Jake Humphrey thing for just after that now

No, the first few weeks are cool.

And thank you to Slackers, where you can go watch all these different games.

Buddy of mine owns a bar and he's looking for ...

He wants to s- he wants to set up like the Sl- Slackers has, where you have different individual groups-

Oh

... of, like, fan groups that go to watch games.

Like, the Broncos watch all their games at Slackers on 2810 Oates.

The St- And there are big Steelers-

Khaki-colored balls of wool dropped to the floor and sought inaccessible positions under the porch chairs, taking a mean advantage of their owners' absorption.

The four heads almost touched as the girls leaned forward, unwilling to lose a word.

"But it isn't just college girls who are wanted, is it?" asked Ruth presently.

"Anyway, Amy and I are through high school now.

Hello and welcome to the Allender Calendar, a monthly podcast where I, Robin Allender, talk to musicians, writers and performers about their work.

This month I'm joined by the music journalist Simon Reynolds to discuss his new book, Still in a Dream, Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984-1994.

It's a fantastic book about the underground guitar music that came after post-punk and before grunge.

Cocteau Twins, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Big Black, Butthole Surfers, and many, many more.

Do that now just as another digital corrective thing.

Yeah.

So, yeah, the book Still in a Dream, Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984 to 94.

I think it's brilliant.
