It's not everyone who can speak so frankly and thoughtfully about being both an angsty retro-teen and also a wife and mom wrestling with questions as powerful as "should we open our marriage?" Teri is that person and I'm really grateful she took the time to tell me her story. Grateful to call her friend, too.
You can get copies of Teri's books, Bats or Swallows and Escape Plans by visiting her page at her publisher Invisible Publishing. You might want to hunt her down on Twitter or Instagram if you are looking to buy a copy of her latest Zine.
I thought about calling this week's playlist Fairy Bread or Nonpareils but settled on the more direct option and called it Hundreds and Thousands. Whatever you call it, it was a fun trip for me if a little bit off in all directions. You'll find some of my favourite Canadian (and non-Canadian) indie and lo-fi music of the early 90s and other stuff that's inspired by it. I hope you enjoy it!
