  • Episode 6: Stairway To Kevin (Part 2)
    Dec 17 2023

    In this second and final segment of our interview with Kevin Short, we discuss the finer points of slide guitar, Kevin's project The Reminders, sending Bob Dylan to voicemail, and ultimately discover that it's always Larry.

    Join myself, Brian and Mike (via speakerphone) as we have an informal chat with the founder and owner of Mid-South Audio studios in Milton, DE. We'll also listen to some music - a track from The Reminders, as well as a few from Misfit Toys.

  • Episode 1: In the Backyard with Mike, or, If You Could See These Bugs...
    Oct 9 2023

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of Welcome to LSD, or, The History of a Band From Delaware Named Misfit Toys.

    For anyone living locally, they'll know that LSD stands for Lower Slower Delaware - the region Misfit Toys has long called Home.

    Misfit Toys (of Delaware) originated in 1992, starting with James Birch, Mike Mathis and Brian Scott Smith. We later brought in the late great Mark Sweetman (may he Rock In Peace).

    We invite you to ride along with us as we discuss the history of the band, listen to some songs, tell some funny stories and maybe learn a little bit about the colorful Delmarva Peninsula we all live in.

    If you're not local, stick around anyway!
