Music podcast for music nerds by music nerds.
In this episode, we are joined by local-ish musician Feralcat. He gave us The Weeknd's 2022 album, Dawn FM. We had a blast diving into this one, going off on too many tangents about Childish Gambino and Jim Carrey, and finding out The Weeknd is a pretty kinky dude. We also briefly touch on the teaser announcement for the 3rd installment in the new Weeknd trilogy; providing our speculations.
In this episode, we're joined by Nathan and Genevieve from the band Soul Meets Body. We talk with Nathan about Neil Young's album "On The Beach", and end up shocking him with some true crime lore on a certain track. Then we dive into MCR's "Danger Days...." with Genevieve; we talk comic books, the genius of Gerard Way, and the lore behind MCR.
We're baaaaack! We are joined by punk rock photographer Chris Smith AKA Sherburt. In what is the first longest episode we've done, we attempt to talk about the NOFX magnum opus "The Decline", while going off on tangents involving weed, politics, Faygo, ICP, dance music, and how NOFX prevented him from taking his life. We also dive into how humble he is about his incredible photography, and the story of how he got noticed/hired by the NOFX crew to be the photographer for their final Punk in Drublic run.
In this episode, we are joined by Jake; vocalist and bass player for the band No Detour. We sit down and talk Blink-182 as we dive into "The Mark, Tom, & Travis Show", how khakis are terrible, and how DIY is so important to a resurging pop punk scene.
