It is a fascinating and insightful dive into some of the most influential records to us.

Can't recommend it enough. You can find him on twitter and such at @Danozzy This was recorded the first week of november 2021 in the basement of 89 North in Patchougue Long Island.

But without that would we have punk rock? Olive Juice.

Today’s guest is Corey Ciresi. Corey is the owner of Enjoy Co. Hair Studio, a salon in Portland, Oregon. He is the drummer of Lee Corey Oswald. Now our main focus of discussion today, however, is his time spent at a now-defunct small boarding school fo special needs adolescents in rural Hancock N.Y. called The Family Foundation School, aka The Family School, aka Allynwood Academy. The school closed in 2014, They said it was due to money problems from declining enrollment. However they were plagued with accusations of abuse for many years. The family school was one of several residential programs for special-needs adolescents that were discussed in congressional hearings in 2007 and 2008.In 2018 a front page article in the New York Times described a pattern of deaths by overdoes, suicide and other misadventure among school alumni . One alumna tallied 101 such deaths, the vast majority of them before the age of forty.I can not begin to express the love in friendship I have with corey. This was not easy for him and we hope to shine some light on this tragedy as well as make some room for those dealing with trauma.To let you know ahead of time we dive into some sensitive subjects including violence, sexual misconduct and suicide. You can reach Corey via email at Coreyc2c@gmail.comYou can read more testimony and find more information about the family school here: http://www.thefamilyschooltruth.com/

One of the souls vibrating right next to mine across a multitude of earths, DIY magician, dear friend, and god d** scientist MIKE CASEY (Casey Magic) sat down to talk with me while he was out on tour with The Old 97s. Mike has been inspiring and blowing my mind for damn near a decade. Mike has got stories about performing for some of the country and rock and roll greats as well as growing up in south, getting a bit into trouble, and we even dabble a bit into the fascinating and beautiful world of DNA and RNA and their random and not-so-random scripts for our lives. I'll cherish any time I get to have a whiskey and talk some trash with my old friend. This time we recorded it.
