SIX FINGER SATELLITE
Severe Exposure: Deluxe Edition
2025 2xLP Reissue
Coke Bottle vinyl + Translucent Orange vinyl

Hands down my favorite purchase of the year.

My love for SFS has been well documented, & this great album was in DIRE need of a reissue. All the props to Sub-Pop, as they’ve given it the same love & care as their previous reissue, The Pigeon Is The Most Popular Bird.

Not only is there a wonderful remaster of Severe Exposure, but they also included the essential Machine Cuisine 10” E.P., as well as a treasure trove of extra bonus downloads; compilation tracks, b-sides, and lots more.

I got to see Six Finger Satellite live about 15 times, due to my close proximity to Providence, R.I. growing up, and to this day, they remain one of the most beloved bands of my life.

I still feel as if they’re a wonderful secret; that if you know, you REALLY know.

How to check if the #Vintage lens you just serviced reaches correct infinity?

Shoot a film — inconvenient.

Adapt it to a modern digital camera — expensive for #Contax.

Is the adapter actually made to the right measurements, and will it translate to your #Film #Rangefinder — maybe.

Can we do it on the #Analog camera, and #Make a tool to adjust the rangefinder if needed? — Yes.

NEIL YOUNG
Trans
1982 Canada pressing

In preparation for father/son music night, my 16 yr old son had a peculiar request:

“Dad, whats an album by an artist you know I like that you think I’d hate? I want to listen to a weird outlier album.”

“Hmmm… you like Neil Young?”

“Very much so.”

“I got one for you.”

Enter TRANS.

I prefaced our session by cluing him in on the backstory; that Neil made this album in an attempt to communicate with his son Ben, who was born with cerebral palsy, & couldn’t speak.
That these songs (as well as ones on the previous effort Reactor) were part of a therapy program for his son, and that Neil told NOBODY what he was doing.

I felt informing my son of these things would give him a head start in understanding it better.

To say he was befuddled is an understatement.

“Can I take your copy so I can listen a few more times?”

Atta boy.
