This month’s episode of Bahala Na! on Eaton Radio is up. First song is the first track off of Slowdive’s latest LP, “Everything Is Alive” - an instant favorite as soon as I listened to the whole record last week 🌿

As per my usual “bahala na” ways, I flipped through my records and pulled these out for this episode within 15 minutes. Some new and some old favorites. Give it a listen! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 📻
