Oddball episode today. A little all over the map, but it kind of all works in my biased opinion.  Tales From the Drop Box Episode #98 is yet another excellent opportunity to hear some music that you likely have missed over the past several months. Short show notes today, as well. Not because I’ve run out of topics, but rather it is taking a little more effort to keep up with the various political investigations. I am currently highly interested in the Paradise Papers. ( Google it – there is a ton of information about the papers now). Fascinating how many rich people hide their money in the same way. Who would have guessed that the Queen of England was on the list! Here are two perspectives on the import of the massive data breach one from Canada and one from the ICIJ – the worldwide journalist cooperative that coordinated the effort.

Also, sad to hear of the death of Fred Cole. A Portland legend and best known for his work with Dead Moon and Pierced Arrows he will be truly missed.

Here is what you’ll find in Episode #98:

1. Kraków Loves Adana – Call Yourself New
2. Anti-Flag – “American Attraction” (American Fall)
3. Ty Segall – “ Is It Real” (Fried Shallots)
4. OCS – “Cadaver Dog” (Orc)
