Wow, dude! This was written from the heart, and I FEEL that.

On behalf of Geoff and myself, I am so happy to be a tiny part of helping spread the word on Popsicko on our podcast.

Listening to the album, speaking with you and Marko, reading the oral history, and this piece helps me understand what a force Keith Brown was. The world missed out on him, but I am thankful to you and all the folks you listed above for pushing this project forward and ensuring that even though Keith's physical presence is absent, his music and spirit are very much alive.

A heartfelt thank you, Steve - Keith

Thank you, Keith! For the support, for checking this post out, and for the kind words about Keith. This process has been cathartic, but also a little challenging on the emotional front, to say the least.

If I may, I would include your 2021 piece on the band as further reading. I get a LOT of submissions as an editor. Very few stop me in my tracks. This one did.

Kevin, thanks so much! I sincerely appreciate that. Thanks for publishing it. An updated version of that one ended up in the oral history book as well.

Right on! I’m looking forward to reading it and spinning the record.

Well, I do have the CD, so I can confirm that I will enjoy it. Love seeing the old photo with Dan Kern.

Out of curiosity, do have the CD with Ashtray Mouth or without?

I just had to look. I don't have that track. I have the Ice Cream Headache Records release, if you are interested.
