    Episode 385: Episode 385: Sons of Sevilla discuss J.J. Cale’s “Naturally”

    Sometimes recording is fun and sometimes it’s…well, a challenge.  The guys from Sons of Sevilla recorded this with us while on the road in their RV and halfway through the recording, their wifi connection farted out.  We finished the episode without them.  But that wasn’t before we were able to talk about chill rock, who’s the little fighter, Terry Reid, Paul McCartney, the not so famous (but you know them) bass players on this album, Skynrd, short and to the point songs, and Clapton.

    Episode 382: Episode 382 - James Campion discusses Prince's "Dirty Mind"


    We were joined by author and podcaster James Campion to discuss his new book about Prince called "REVOLUTION: Prince, the Band, the Era" and of course we had to discuss a Prince record because of it!


    Plenty of other discussion including Warren Zevon (James wrote a book about him as well) and how Jorge Calderon is a saint, the "Underwater Sunshine" podcast, "New Girl," Warner Bros. giving Prince the keys to producing his own records, blue eyed soul, androgyny, Devo, signing up for the draft, Morris Day, and how we all think that Prince was actually kinda punk rock. Enjoy!

    Episode 381: Episode 381: Concerts with Michael Citro & Dave Montgomery & Jeff Frame

    Gaps in our schedule means...we do what we want. Instead of our usual format, I just wanted to hang out with some of my besties talking about some of our recent concerts. We were joined by Michael Citro (Michael's Record Collection), Jeff Frame (Jeff Makes Jokes) and Dave Montgomery (little brother). We talk about Wayne's First Wilco, trying to sell people on seeing bands live with us (and the anxiety that follows that), Rilo Kiley (while batting a bout of Chrohn's), Iron & Wine, Metallica (and unfortunately that leads to talk about Limp Bizkit), Hozier, and more.

    And congrats to little brother for welcoming baby #2 the day after we recorded this.

    No sound clips. Zero notes. Minimal editing. Just free flow discussion. Enjoy.

    Plenty of other discussion including Harley t-shirts, self-titled albums (even when it's your ninth album), Marathon songwriting, decor based on Hobby Lobby, panic attacks, Baby Ruth candy bars, 30 year or 40 years - who's counting, black diamond strings, dying on some hills, and where's the handbook for fatherhood and parenting?

    Episode 379: Episode 379: Harley Flanagan discusses Black Sabbath's "Master of Reality"

    Harley Flanagan has been kicking out punk music since he was in grade school. Literally. Cro-Mags, Harley's band, has been a big part of the NYC punk scene since the 80s and Harley has been making the rounds lately promoting his documentary called "Harley Flanagan: Wired for Chaos."

    Probably should have known by the documentary title that this episode would be anything but our typical format. Plenty of other discussion including downtuning guitars, "Medusa" from Trapeze, Ozzy's voice being unrecognizable, NYC punk scene in the 70s and 80s, CBGB, the Beastie Boys, and more.
