Change is Good
Here we are again, it's an all new Sound of Tomorrow! In this exciting episode, we're discussing Period Badges and Porch Pirates! Plus, of course, neighborhood pages online, what a nightmare! After a little musical break, Ross is bored by the article on office talk so his Hot Picks turns quickly into Rant Pants. Looks for our Crampsy merch coming soon and a shout out to our beloved Canadian Girlfriend Daughter!
TMBG DAS: Answer
Happy Tofurkey Day, Space Cadets! In this very disorganized and yet still brand new Sound of Tomorrow, we're gobbling about the War on Thanksgiving and Therapy Speak in the first half of the show. And the second half? Yeah, it's all HOT PICKS!
A reminder: In the immortal words of Celibate Commandos, "It's Thanksgiving / Thanks for what / People die from programs cut / A rich man's holiday it really sucks / It's Thanksgiving / Thanks for WHAT!?"
TMBG DAS: The Cap'm

Space Cadets! It's cold out...... so cold..... But there's good news! Ross and I are related after all! He's been doing his ancestry research and it proves it! I knew all along..... BTW--HZ here. Just got in from shoveling. Ai.... BUT! After we have our little family reunion, it's off to the brain races on this week's SoT! Studies show that all kids are equally good at math! None of this "boys are better at math than girls." So take that, all my grade school teachers! PLUS--more good news: my dear relative Ross and I are going to live to a ripe old age because optimists live longer, turns out! Yeah! So, um, take that, uh..... all my grade school teachers! Yeah. That works. Did I mention it's cold out?
TMBG DAS: S.E.X.X.Y.
Hey Space Cadets! Just a little special bonus content for y'all! For the third year running, we at the SoT have had the absolute pleasure of teaming up with some of our favorite people ever, the good folx at Almost Tuesday to close out the final hour of the WAYO Fundraiser. To thank you all for your support, I thought it could be fun to post the audio of our loosey-goosey late night Sound of Tuesday/Almost Tomorrow. If nothing else, at least there's proof that Ross and I do actually exist outside the hour from 4-5 on Wednesdays. xoxoH
DONATE.WAYOFM.ORG! Truly, please and thank you, The Sound of Tomorrow and WAYO LP Rochester, our favorite radio station need your help, Space Cadets!!!

Track list:
Wow, we have a jam-packed show today, Space Cadets! We start off with a few stories from Ross's super-fun college reunion (it's been five years already?! Time flies!) and then we're into the rules for our very impromptu contest! If you know Ross's secret and want an SoT swag bag (for real, we have them), send the name of his new D&D character to jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com! You've got until the 16th so act now! Then we're talking about the silly silly furor over a new cute doll line. After the break we've got menses! We've got fat bears! We've got Mental Health Awareness Month!
Big congratulations to Holly, 2019's fattest bear. Beadnose, I miss you.
TMBG DAS: Bills Bills Bills
Wow, Space Cadets, we are tired and wired on today's Sound of Tomorrow! Out of the gate (heh) ('cause they, like, have gates at airports, right?), Ross is trying out his new tight seven on airplane food! On to DND adventures and then back to.... travel? with a discussion of the confusing new NYS driver's licensing system and can we get on a plane or not? Don't trust us on this one--we're obviously confused. After the break, we're back with more on how to suss out whether that news you like is fake or not and then, blissfully, we're all headed home for naps! Success!
TMBG DAS: "Call You Mom"
While the Ross is away, the DJHZ will play..... more songs for you!

Short 'n' sweet today, y'all: We're back with an all new Sound of Tomorrow talking publishing and periods! A regular Menses Wednesday with your radio pals, Ross and Heather.
Music: "J'Faim, Toujours" by Little Jack Melody and His Young Turks.
Why isn't this ep called Wilderness Tips, you ask? Because, ages ago, I'm pretty sure we had one named that after a Margaret Atwood book I no longer own, alas! Still---we got a kicker of a skit for you today, Space Cadets, ukes and everything for YOU! Then we're talking Green Army Men AND WOMEN (and also Enby soldiers, too, naturally!), residential Facebook sites (Welcome to city living, jerks!) and, frighteningly, a plan to monitor people with mental illness to prevent mass shootings (no..... please, no.). After "Bassam Sabry" (clap clap) by Of Montreal, we're back with Hot Picks and Gay Jeans! I mean, Genes.....
^My favorite White Ninja comic ever. Stink! <3
Nah... laziness isn't even a thing! Quit being so judgey! Leave that up to us, the profession Liberal Weenies. Spoiler alert, yes, we're talking laziness in the second half of the show but not before we talk about that Analog Award thing (what? I'm posting this later than usual. I can't be expected to remember everything we talked about, jeesh!) a discuss an NPR listicle on 7 ways to get out of debt! Fun fact: don't believe credit card companies when they say interest rates are high to motivate us to pay them back more quickly; buncha liars.*
TMBG DAS: "Ana Ng" live from some concert or other!
*See? We're good at the judgey thing!
Psst! Clank clank. That's right, your Radio Friends The Sound of Tomorrow are back for another hour of giggles and tomfoolery! After a brief Wildlife Talk with Ross and Heather, we're forging ahead with fake news. We were not rescued by the nice people who came in to find something they'd left in the studio so the music break was "Havana" by The Mabuses. After that? More friendship! And some commentary on masculinity.... Stay til the end to hear me start to panic when frat boys are mentioned! I had some bad experiences in college, y'all.
Mmmmm..... Brazilian cheese buns sure do sound good, don't they, Space Cadets? You know who will never know if they are? We won't!!! Because someone stole the tapioca flour (and the battery-operated Christmas candles) off my porch. That's right--HZ here hankering for a hunk of Pao De Queijo, forever unfulfilled. But there's joy and light! Because we're talking theft on today's new SoT but we're also talking friendship and books Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to send Ross a Snapchat of the cute thing Nigel is doing right now.
Recipe link (good luck finding the flour): https://hilahcooking.com/pao-de-queijo/
Music today from the Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players with "Look at Me."
Ain't no book club party like a silent book club party 'cause a silent book club party is SILENT! But not us.... no, on today's new Sound of Tomorrow, we're neither silent nor are we actually doing a book club! Instead, we're talking gratitude lists and their opposite! We're talking blue green algae (which isn't even algae at all)! We're talking boycotts! And maybe we're talking, just a little bit, cats!
Song of the day: "Fugitive Air" by Of Montreal.
It's a pretty cheesy show today, Space Cadets, but we got your all new Sound of Tomorrow right here! After the delicious skit, Heather tries to dive right in but Ross demands a quick Nigel Tale! He soon regrets it, though, so we're off on the topic of anxiety and metal illness. After the TMGB DAS duo, "Have this Thing" and "Spy" (the original Dial-A-Song demo version), we're back with historical women! Short and sweet, yeah? Now.... where's my pizza?
Ok, Space Cadets---all y'all who have vaginas, please tell me: have you ever stored your license, credit card, and folded money in your vagina and, if so, how did you pay for your stuff at Target? That's right, it's an all new Sound of Tomorrow! Yes, we're talking about vaginas for too long, you say? Wish. After Vagina Chat with Heather and Ross, we're talking TREES! Then it's Aloha with "Summer Away" and we're talking Teen Drinking. Which reminds me, I am parched!
Hey, everybody, we've got a banger of a show today for YOU! Kicking it off with, once again, oddly enough, elementary school memories and the casual racism of the 80s, we're moving into good news for kitties and a bit of a diatribe on "please, everyone, be kind to your pets and also get them spayed and neutered!" The TMBG DAS is "Road Movie To Berlin" from that time they played the album Flood live in Australia. And then we're back! And Heather is mad..... taking down the patriarchy one article at a time? Yes, she's trying. So die mad. Heather will.
Cats!
^Nigel <3
Whoo-wee Space Cadets, are you ready for a.... show? Fun BTS fact: I wrote some of my grade school friends about "I Remember Penfield" last night and Leigh was able to fill in the last verse I'd forgotten. I remembered the first line and then it turned into "Puff the Magic Dragon." But don't worry! I still remember "I Like Being a Kid" in full. Somebody help me. Childhood trauma aside, in today's new SoT, we're talking anti-racism, we've got some Backlash early pages book discussion, and hey, Henrietta did a pretty nice thing, eh? After The Magnetic Fields doing "When My Boy Walks Down the Street," it's time for HOT PICKS! And then that article about finding a new doctor we kept saying we were going to talk about. Yah.*
*At the end of most grade school choir songs, they made us do this move where we stretched out our right arms and flipped our hands and said "yah" dramatically. Whyyyy, Penfield Central Schools, whyyyy?
We got a jam-packed show today on ye olde SoT, Space Cadets! Kicking it off with some space news and annoying interjections about space noodz from your own HZ and segueing seamlessly (?) into talking about..... talking. Tell us about yourselves! JimmySpaceboy@gmail.com. After the TMBG DAS "It Was a Very Good Year" we're not procrastinating on discussing procrastination! And weeeeee will always love..... youuuuuuu!
Happy 4th, everyone! Hope you're not hiding under the sofa from the fireworks but, if you are, we've got something to block out the noise: this here Sound of Tomorrow! Kicking it off clumsily but getting in gear talking about ways to slow down the perception that time is flying. After that? A fun drinking game proposal for if you watch the rally, um, parade from DC tomorrow! After the music break during which you'll enjoy The Incredibly Moses Leroy doing "The Fourth of July,: we're back talking TV. That's right--only TV. Not abortion news. Nope. Not that.
Smile, you're on hidden camera! Aw, nah... you're not.... unless you're in an Air BnB? Hey, wow, that's right, it's a new Sound of Tomorrow from sunny summertime Rochester NY's finest radio station WAYO LP Rochester! We're out of the gate talking about Ross's travel adventures and then Heather butts in with some info on how to search your vacation getaway for hidden cameras! The Sunshine Fix provides the middle break with "Mr. Summer Day," R.I.P. Bill Doss. And we're back with act 2 and a segment we like to call "Megetable: Fact or Fiction" which turns out to be a true example of how we work to vet our sources. Closing it out with some space news and some kind of psychotic break from the Babe wit the Power. Let's go get that solar sail!
That's right. We took a day off to go to the beach, babies! You know we have that experiment to do. So while I'm doing my interpretive dance and Ross is trying out his new swim trunks, please enjoy a summertime funtime mix from ME, Heather Zajkowski, your summertime funtime DJ.
Track list:
Rule number one: keep vacuum cleaner hoses away from your genitals. That's right, it's an all new Sound of Tomorrow and we care about the health and safety of your privates and our own! After that Medical Hot Tip, we're talking about Heather's big Lily Dale adventure. Space Cadets, what's your take on mediums? And what's your take on me (take on me)? After "Hearing Aid," this week's TMBG DAS, we're off to Niagara Falls Comic Con! NB: that unexplained mass on the moon is, yes, cheese. And a little drag news to round it on out. Can you take a man in spirit?
We're back and flakier than ever! But the show must go on! So, it being June, we're kicking it off after pre-topic banter (tell me your trust circle stories! 585-542-5502, jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com) with 6 things straight people who go to Pride should know before they do and 4 reasons should definitely go out and support Pride! Rochester folks: look for Ross and his elaborate headdress in July! Yum. Break music is, appropriately, "June" by Camper Van Beethoven and we're back with some eye rolling over the male in Boston who is pushing his Straight Pride Parade nonsense. &%$# that male. Then, what what? Ross has some tips about sex and consent from the kink community via NPR! Hottt.
And also you're annoying. Nah, we're just kidding! Unless we aren't! BUT--kicking off today's all new Sound of Tomorrow, Ross has a new thing he's testing out from PornHub! It's the Boner Buddy or I think that's what he was trying to get at, anyway. Look for us on Charlotte Beach if the weather ever gets above 45 degrees! After that, got some local sports news (I know!) and then "Malefic Dowery" by Of Montreal to reset our nonsense. Act Two is all about DNA testing and what of yours the police can get their hands on and we're out!
That's right, we're back in the WAYO LP Rochester studios this week for al all new Sound of Tomorrow and, boy oh boy, are we trying to keep it light. There is SO MUCH going on right now.... reading the news is hard. SO--we're kicking it off with a RuPaul ReCap! Who do you think is going to win the Season 11 crown? Let us know--jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com or 585-542-5502! After checking out TMBG's "Pet Name" (live in St. Louis), we're back with a discussion of hologram tours and then, heavens, can it be, Ross has a little Kondo-shaming for Heather? Say it isn't so! (It's so.)
It's Ross's birthday, today, yes!!! So it's an HZDJ mix in honor of the big day. <3 <3 <3
Want to wish Ross a very happy birthday? Tweet him up @soundoftomorrow or drop him a line at JimmySpaceboy@gmail.com!
We're out of the gates with a great big skit during which we broke very minimally (pat pat) on today's new Sound of Tomorrow! After the verry long drama, we've got an Unshelved Mystery (whoosh) and then it's time to hear "Month of May" by Arcade Fire! The second act gets, frankly, more somber and frightening as we talk about anti-abortion protesters and the new bad on abortion in Georgia. I'm not kidding, folks... I'm terrified.
But also: menses!
Gosh, we were mostly looking for people to call in today and let me know what they wanted me to leave them in my will but I guess all our listeners have some phone anxiety, poor honies! But we have tips to help that for you! And we have some stuff about BOOKS, yeah, we love 'em. After rocking out to a little "Psychotic Feeling" (my latest non-stop Of Montreal jam), we're talking diet culture and weight stigma. You know we couldn't keep the whole show sunny and fun!
What do you want me to leave you in my will? Drop me a line at JimmySpaceboy@gmail.com to claim your creepy doll!
xoH
Aww, Space Cadets, we got some sleepy animals for you today! And some smart animals that definitely know their names! Sooo.... speaking of sleepy, indeed, this episode description is. Ok! This episode, we're talking about how cats know their names and so do dogs, we got a Jack the Ripper Unshelved Mystery (whoosh, there goes the dust), we got a sleep study where you get to choose an animal, we got some great news about a recently developed malaria vaccine, and we got a little teeny stuff on voting! Are your breasts akin to any specific canine breed? Or would you want to do an SoT book club with us? If either/or, drop us a line at jimmyspaceboy@gmail.com! We'd love to hear from you.
Music today: "Rushes of Pure Spring" by Ladybug Transistor.
Ah, Space Cadets.... we're shuffling papers, we're cold but still sweating, we're woefully underprepared--oh, wait, no, that's just me, HZ! Ross is on point (and en pointe) as always! SO--kicking it off with a warning to those of us who fake smile alll the time and moving right into some good news for LGBTQIA+ kids and teachers! Quick break for an unofficial TMBG DAS "All the Lazy Boyfriends" and we're back with a discussion of Autism Awareness! Short and sweet, huh? I think I need a shower now.....
We did it! Space Cadets, on this very special Sound of Tomorrow, we kick it off with a skit written by the fantastic Austin Rich (featuring an original track by good old HZ herself) and then, after a little black hole update, Lee Chabowski and Rick Brame from Bloody Nature (www.bloodynature.com) call in from their shooting trip in Florida! By shooting, we mean rolling film, of course. Sounds like host of Bloody Nature Dale Attenbrow is handling enough of the, like, gun shooting.... eek. It was a fun call, though, despite the bickering and we sure do hope Stacy is going to pull through! We bid Lee and Rick a fond farewell (stay safe, guys!) and, during the break, patch in, yes, the very writer of the very intro skit Austin Rich calling in from his tour of Oregon! Austin's in clubs, on the air all over the place, and selling all kinds of goodies over at wtbc.bandcamp.com so go right now and get yourself some treats! Baby Louis Satancakes, if you're listening, those Chick-o-Sticks were delicious.... <3
Music from Lee Chabowski's awesome band The Modern Airline with "Monster on the Campus" (live on WFMU)!
Welp.... we were going to have a really fun show today with Lee Chabowski calling in and we were going to talk all about his cool new thing "Bloody Nature" available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUMIpJdiJww3Y2xcwUEfERQ and all his neat and awesome projects. And then the phones went down. So, instead, we're talking.... yes! Women's issues!! 7 ways the world isn't made for women PLUs a lively conversation about what's going on with Cardi B.! It's a pretty good ep overall but, still--next week, we're going to talk to Lee and it's going to be awesome!
Music: "Live by the Ocean" by Papas Fritas.
Hey Space Cadets! Ross had a thing so it's time for your favorite DJHZ to play some of her very very old, very dusty CDs for YOU! Pull up and ear and have a listen, won't you?

We got moon news complete with witchcraft tips for ll your Wiccan needs, we got an Unshelved Mystery (whoosh!), we got some fake old meats, and we got an Ozone Update!

What? A Wednesday without a weather emergency in Rochester, NY? Can it be? Yess...... so we're entirely on point this week (and also en pointe, BTS), right? Nope! Because the time changed! Still, though, The Sound of Tomorrow is coming through with some HOT PICKS, a dog walk warning, and some pseudoscience news for you! That fake meat thing we keep talking about? Probably never going to get to it.
Today's song is "House of Ghosts" by The Squires of the Subterrain, the Official Band of the Sound of Tomorrow. Grab their new CD "Radio Silence" available March 18 at squiresofthesubterrain.com or wherever you purchase all your finest music.
Oh boy.... wow. Yeah. Sorry Space Cadets! After a very funny skit, this week's all new Sound of Tomorrow went quickly off the rails as both Ross and Heather completely forgot how to speak! But they still kept tryin'. SO--on todays exciting and extra-flakey show, we're talking about the fun thing Ross did last week! We're talking Problematic! We're talking.... more Problematic! And Seanan McGuire has a new book out!
TMBG DAS: Climbing the Walls LIVE at XM Studios!
Phew....
All right, I gotta keep this short--it's shoveling time. Again. In today's exciting episode of The Sound of Tomorrow, Ross offers up what purports to be kitty news but turns into a discussion of the US healthcare system! We're doing a quiz! Heather takes a bold stance against tomb desecration! And there's even an Amelia Earhart Update all before the music break! After checking out "English Electric" by The Cleaners from Venus, we're back with some delicious Oumuamua t and a discussion of anger. Everyone, seriously congratulate Ross on not breaking during the skit. He nailed it!
Today on this all new Sound of Tomorrow, we have special guest Darren DeWispelaere in the studio! Once we get the intervention out of the way, it's time to talk about allll Darren's bands up to and including Ian Downey is Famous! Jan the Actress! Veluxe! Disintegration! IDIF has a big show coming up this Saturday, February 23, 2019 at Skylark Lounge on S. Union where they'll be celebrating the release of their brand new record "Destroy Language!" Come on down and buy yourself a copy! If you're not in Rochester, head on over to https://carbon-records.bandcamp.com/album/destroy-language and get yourself one there! Jan the Actress also has a new album out so treat yourself over at https://jantheactress.bandcamp.com/album/dirty-anxious-low! Also, don't miss the Disintegration show coming up Friday, April 12 at the old Milestones, AKA Flour City Station! (Sorry--just getting all my shilling in here. I think I got it all. Phew.) PLUS! Ross presents some lady news and Darren shares a tale of illicit backroom VCR heist dealings.
It's Valentine's Day Eve and our hearts are warm but our fingers are icy.... because Rochester, NY is covered in ice. Sigh. BUT! That doesn't stop us from zipping through topics at a breakneck speed! We got period emojis! We got the last words of the Opportunity Rover and then we cry just a little bit again about it because we've already cried about it today! We got some Hot Picks! We're late on the middle break but it's "Sing You a Love You Song" by of Montreal and then we're back for... well, yeah, you know we can't just be lighthearted... we're talking about blackface and slavery myths right until we pretty much lose ever last ounce of energy in last five minutes. Happy Valentine's Day, International Crab Cakes! And remember: My battery is low and it's getting dark.
Well well well, we're on the road to fame and fortune, finally!, on today's all new Sound of Tomorrow! After reveling in the great news about our big break. we're talking about.... a whole load of nonsense, to be honest. We brought topics, really, we did! But Ross talks about going to the doctor for a while and Heather may or may not have had xrays when she was a kid and oh dear. We try to bring it back with a tirade about how everyone can just stop telling women to smile but, really, it's time to hear TMBG with "The Cap'm." The second half goes just completely off the rails as we launch our new segment "Pancake Fail." Maybe we redeem ourselves with some vaccine news realness at the end? But I doubt it. Thanks to all you hot listeners out there!
Hey, wow, it's cold in Rochester, NY and we're doing our level best to move our frozen jaws for you! In this week's show, we kick it off talking about the fun Drag Brunch we went to and then it's time for cheese. Ross fills in the last of the first segment talking about shows he's starred in and we're off to listen to "Coldest Day" by Madness. Because we can't just babble for the entire time, we're back for part 2 with trans youth studies and the new trend affecting women in the workplace. For the love of all that is holy, someone please make it less cold here! Please!
Yep. Before the show, our feet got wet. So we're cold and not thinking quite right! But nevertheless, it's a brand new Sound of Tomorrow! We kick it off talking about Heather's headshot gone awry (with unplanned social commentary!) and then we're on to talkin' 'bout things we've seen. But you know we couldn't ignore it so, before the slightly belated break, we managed not to call those MAGA sh!ts anything we can't say on the air. Yay us! After taking a little listen to "Strange Weather" by Tom Waits, we're back with an article we both brought on how to talk to kids--or maybe even everyone--about body image! Now could someone please get us some dry socks?
^Not SoT feet.
It's an icy day in Rochester, NY, but that doesn't stop us from being back with an all new Sound of Tomorrow! We kept on track, miraculously, with a discussion in the first half (ish) about virtue signaling and call-out culture and and clutter/TV talk in half (ish) two! Chris Fanning, I'll be right over to wake up those books for you!
Middle break was "What a Wonderful World" by Major Organ and the Adding Machine. Huzzah!
HZ here! In today's exciting episode, we're banging out of the gates with the unplanned topic of how Rochester has made the national news after a local meteorologist clearly and blatantly uttered a racial slur on live TV! For more on this, here's a link to Chris Thompson's blog post I mentioned: https://540westmain.org/2019/01/09/more-than-one-cockroach-guest-blog-by-chris-thompson. This springboards us into a tax discussion followed by more on PC Culture. Truly, I cannot wait for the people who tell me they can't say anything anymore to tell me what it is they'd like to say. After the break, we've some some food and not nearly enough on cheese. The takeaway: alcohol is health food.
Because there's nothing like a grown woman still crying over the death of a pop star, today's middle break is Dollar Days from David Bowie's Blackstar. Yes, I did cry while listening to it and I will again.
It's a brand new year and the SoT is back in the studio at WAYO! Kicking it off talking about Heather's whacky party traditions and then moving into New Year's resolutions (whaaaaa? We made New Year's resolutions? Well, kind of.), there's a little blip of science news before it's time to hear Happy New Year, Baby by Jo Ann Campbell! We're back in time to talk about grudges for a bit and then Ross breaks his top-of-the-show resolution by bringing in politics. You know we can't help it!
