Flopcast 471: The Flop of Boston

<p>Happy Anniversary to us! (If you can hear Barney Rubble singing, our work is done.) We've been Flopcasting for nine long silly years, and we're celebrating with a special guest: Earth Station One co-host (and Tiki Zombie writer/publisher) Mike Gordon! Mike is from Massachusetts just like us, so we discuss growing up around the Boston music scene. Including: Boston radio (the Top 40 of Kiss 108 vs. The Rock of Boston, WBCN); our early concert experiences (were Kevin and Mike at the same concert way back in 1987, and was a giant robot there too?); the 70s Boston bands that conquered the world (Aerosmith, J. Geils, The Cars, and you know, Boston); the 80s music video era (experienced pre-cable through Friday Night Videos, obscure UHF shows, and our beloved V-66); the alt-rock scene of the 90s, when the women took over (Juliana Hatfield, Letters to Cleo, Belly); and our Boston favorites these days (such as Freezepop, Sidewalk Driver, and Carissa Johnson). Also: New stuff in the ESO Network TeePublic store from our sister podcast But First, Let's Talk Nerdy, and Kornflake reminds us that it's a very good idea to drink with chickens.</p> <p>Find Mike Gordon on <a href="https://www.earthstationone.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earth Station One</a>, <a href= "https://esonetwork.com/category/earth-station-who/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Earth Station Who</a>, and <a href= "https://www.dragonconreport.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The DragonCon Report</a>!</p> <p><a href="http://www.newlegendproductions.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiki Zombie and more from Mike at New Legend Productions!</a> </p> <p><a href= "https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-eso-broadcasting-network" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The ESO TeePublic store!</a> </p> <p>And our regular links...</p> <p><a href="https://flopcast.net/index.html" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Flopcast website!</a> </p> <p><a href="https://esonetwork.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The ESO Network!</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.
