Radio K
Back when my novel was first about to be published, I had the
same conversation over and over again: “You have a book
coming out? What's it called?”
“It’s called
Ready, Okay!”
“Huh? ‘Radio K’?”
I heard that so many times that I decided that if by some bizarre
circumstance I ever did get a radio show, that was what I would
call it.
Then “podcasts” became a thing, and here we are.
Radio K is currently divided up into two series:
Ask/Tell
…in which I discuss interactive fiction with people who
are in the same boat I’m in: familiar with the medium, but
not 100% familiar with the canonical
works of the past several years.
I am told that you can subscribe to the show
here.

The Adriffs
…is the name I stuck on the songs that Lizzie and I
recorded back when I lived in places where I could play my drum
kit without angry neighbors setting my house on fire.
One of my chief criteria in selecting a place the next time I
move is going to be the ability to record music there, because
I’ve got a bunch of songs piling up.
But in the meantime, here’s what we did in the
’00s.
(The songs below are on the rough side, but I found a tattered
magazine from 1992 that told me
lo‐fi is all the rage.)

As the credits reflect, several of the songs above were based on demos
that Matthew Amster‐Burton brought to the band we attempted to start
in Seattle in the ’90s; he wrote the
vocal and guitar parts, I wrote the bass and drum parts, and then Lizzie
and I finally recorded them years later.
The one thing I wound up recording with Matthew was a two‐song
CD with one of our many drummers‐for‐a‐day; here’s
an excerpt:
from 1998
recorded in Panorama City, California
Alright Again (excerpt)
(Matthew Amster‐Burton / Adam Cadre / Stephen Knittle)
Finally, if you have any interest in what I listen to,
here's a pretty
extensive writeup.
