SUMMERTIME BLUES

In the latest edition of Post Toasted, our own Karen Glauber, who can trace the etymology of the term “alternative” all the way back to the late 20th century, contrasts her fond memories of the HFStival with the modern-day summer radio show, which has become a major source of stress for bands, their handlers and programmers alike. On a more upbeat note, KG boldly proclaims that Cigarettes After Sex’s “Apocalypse” is the sleeper hit of 2018. She also gets a hug from Bishop Briggs.
