Listen "Boston pt. 2: The Rat, Ed’s Redeeming Qualities "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we revisit the glory days of The Rat, Boston’s answer to CBGB’s; and remember an unlikely fixture of the club, Ed’s Redeeming Qualities- a ragtag folk group of artists who were a true punk band, even though they may not have looked like or sounded the part. We speak with Toby Ingalls (Lou Miami and the Kozmetix, Magic 12), Jon Bernhart (WMBR DJ), Tanya Donnely (Throwing Muses, Belly), Clint Conley (Mission of Burma), Claudia Gonsen (Magnetic Fields), Dana Hatch (Cheater Slicks), Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500, Luna), Guy Capecelatro III (Bob and Guy), Kurt Davis (Bullet Lavolta), Tom Johnston (manager Galaxie 500), and Ray Halliday (The Buckets, Ed’s Redeeming Qualities manager).Hosted by Dylan Metrano and Gregory Moss.Episode artwork by Alan Bull.
