STARK REALITY Host JAMES DIER aka DJ $mall ¢hange is back for Episode 71/72!Aight party ppl another Stark Reality coming your way. This time we don't have to roll the red carpet too far aka downstairs to Jim's neighbor and noted record digger CHRIS BISHOP. He started the 60s music research site GarageHangover.com in 2004, which is a crazy resource on obscure garage rock records and more. In that same year Chris also began deejaying at  the Local Project in LIC, followed by regular gigs at Rififi, the Tainted Lady, Magnetic Field, & Patio Bar and other various spots in NYC. He moved upstate to Hudson in 2011 and had a late night weekly on WGXC and occasional nights at the Half Moon. And is currently trying to hold this criminal administration accountable with actions to support a free Palestine. Recorded just before the election on Oct 28th, 2024.

Chris and Jim align a lot on politics and records, they talk about the protests he has been a part of in Hudson and Columbia County. And they get into obscure and sought after records that have been cut and made in the Hudson Valley. The mix he provided as the accompanying set 'Kennett Sound Studio & Hudson Valley mini-mix' showcases some of those records. To hear this exclusive Stark Reality playlist, go to Episode 72 of Stark Reality.
