Coffee & Donuts

Coffee & Donuts Lost Episode #2! This one features Rick Gill, my wife's father (fiance at the time of recording). This one was recorded before my wedding over a year ago! It's been sitting in the vault due to poor audio quality, but we decided to put this one out there for you all to enjoy. As always, artwork by Frank Adam Brenner. Edited by Jeremy Pautz (who tried his damnedest to fix my poor microphone work on this one.)

Here's a lost episode of Coffee & Donuts featuring Daniel "Moose" Ssebowa Musisi. We recorded this one back in 2018 - I'm guessing July or August or so. This episode's artwork is by Frank Adam Brenner and was edited by Jeremy Pautz. ENJOY!

Dan Maloney returns to The Qafe for another installment of Coffee & Donuts. This time Dan takes us along on his journey to Paris, Italy and New Orleans as he plays all of his favorite 45 finds from his trip. Buckle up and come along with us! And as always, keep on travelin'!

His book, Perpetual Conversion: 30 Years and Counting in the Life of Metal Veteran Danny Lilker, is available wherever you like to buy books. Dave and I ramble on for two hours about his book, video games, football, and of course, MUSIC! Hear about the time he met Flavor Flav and Big Daddy Kane.

In this episode I sit down with creator/owner of Flipbin, Ben Robertson. We flipped the format this time around and Ben blindly chose some 45s from my collection and asked me questions about them. He graciously dropped off both models of his Flipbin for me to use and we LOVE them here at The Qafe. You can check them out on our Instagram page @coffeeand45s. If you want your own Flipbin, head to flipbin.com and check 'em out for yourself!

Today's episode features Funk Trunk owner and Reverb LP buyer, Quinn Cunningham. Quinn organizes the annual Rogers Park Music Swap, which is happening Saturday, December 9th at the Red Line Tap. He brought some heat this episode, which resulted in me spending hundreds of dollars on Discogs. Grab a mug along with your favorite donut and enjoy!
