Welcome to My Teeth Need Attention. I'm Joe Tunis. This podcast is essentially an extension of my radio show Numbers on WAYOLP Rochester NY 104.3fm and wayofm.org. This platform gives me a little more flexibility on things I'd like to cover, as well as encouraging people to check out music covered, directly supporting artists and labels, and also talk about Carbon Records, the label I've been running since 1994.

In this podcast, I feature new and old music, underground and weirdo, as well as theme-based episodes, label features, and interviews.
