In Tribute To Steve Brodsky (RIP): Spinning Platters Podcast Episode 16 – #twitterstalking

spintal-tap-sandwi_1473568c — Sometimes being a band manager is tough.

Spinning Platters is re-running our 2010 podcast with the late Steve Brodsky. He passed away last night after a hearty battle against Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He was the manager for many great bands, such as Wallpaper., Midi Matilda, Orgone, and AB & The Sea. He was also a really great guy and a very early supporter of Spinning Platters. The Bay Area music scene lost a very important, kind, and funny man. This podcast was loads of fun to record, and we will miss him dearly.

And if you haven’t registered to be a bone marrow donor, please do so. It only takes a few minutes to potentially save a life!
