About BDC

More than 15 years ago I moved to the Chicago area from Dallas, Texas. I've loved it ever since. Exploring, collecting, and making music are my primary interests. You can check out my ever-growing music collection over on Discogs. I also make mostly instrumental music of my own under the name WALMARTIANS, which you can check out on Bandcamp. The show title "The Shape of Things to Come" is from the 1979 song of the same name by The Headboys, a Scottish power pop band, formed in 1977 in Edinburgh. The song was a minor hit, peaking at #45 in the UK and #67 in the US. Cheers!
