I recall this when you first published it and appreciate the post-script. I loved Atom during his heyday and it was great to catch him on the "reunion" swing at Fest about the same time as the Gethard show. One of his daughters joined him on stage: "Atom and his Progeny."
This is awesome . Brings back great memories of seeing Adam at a small collective in Portland, Oregon over twenty years ago. Thanks for writing this piece .
My buddy and I have sent each other Happy birthday ralph every year on our birthdays for well over 15 years now and will do so until we are both dead in the ground. Atom forever.

Loved Atom! He played our basement in Buffalo a few times which my friends still talk about. He was hilarious!

I love that his ancient website is still up and still unchanged. That’s beautiful.
Absolutely love atom. First heard ‘punk rock academy’ on an old hopeless comp. First place I picked up on thrice too.
Funny timing. I was just doing my annual listen to “Happy New Year Atom” by Yidcore on NYE. (Video: https://youtu.be/QpajvCy5CqE).
I forgot they were also on the Up End Atom tribute album. Guess it’s time for a listen.
