Tarzan Grip: pretty original band name there. Not one I would have thought of quickly. What's behind the name though? Is the music something that Tarzan would like? Perhaps the band members love swinging on vines? Who knows. But certainly one person who has a grip on me is guitarist and singer Dom Jones. Dom and I go back a couple of years, thanks to a shared love for the (currently on hold) Laksmi Bar open mic night. I hosted it a few times, introduced Dom, shared a few drinks and caught coronavirus. (Just kidding, though certainly nowadays it seems like our previous social habits would lead to this unpleasant fate.) We hung out a fair bit at Laksmi, chatting absolute musical nonsense and congratulating one another for our acoustic musical performances. Yet despite our circles overlapping from time to time, we never found the time to sit down and properly talk music in this podcast format. Until now. Dom and I had a lovely, long chat that covered a bunch of topics, some of which have been edited out here due to length. However the primary reason for a lot of the editing was the poor sound quality on the episode this week. I am not sure why it was so poor -- it certainly did not sound like this on the call -- but it unfortunately means a lot of our conversation had to be deleted. A shame as you'll never hear the story about Dom, the donkey, the hosepipe and the LSD. Good story, that. What you will hear a lot about though is how Tarzan Grip are kicking your punk ass, albeit at a leisurely pace, from their 2016 EP Members of the Bored up to their upcoming EP release. Also Dom and I talk about musical beginnings, the past, present and future of Tarzan Grip, how the coronavirus pandemic has affected creativity and what's missing from the life of musicians right now in this weird, fucked up world we're in. For more Tarzan Grip go to: Facebook Bandcamp Also on this episode I've been feeling quite down and pissed off recently around the pandemic and, unfortunately, a lot of my rage is towards my musician friends. There are so many people I cherish and respect seemingly going about life as if everything is normal - organising large gigs, packing out small rooms for their vanity projects, travelling to some exotic country and uploading bullshit Instagram pictures. It's driving me insane. Partly jealous? Maybe, I don't know. But partly annoyed because, in an ongoing pandemic, it's wholly irresponsible and indefensible? Yes. There's a long, long way to go in fighting this coronavirus fuckery and if we cannot even now stick to what are pretty simple rules, we are fucked. There won't be any kind of normal, let alone a new one. So please, please, please: wear a mask, wash your hands, keep your distance, avoid unnecessary contact and stay the fuck at home unless you need to go out for something. It's tough on us all - I for one have missed gatherings, weddings, parties, vacations, introducing our newborn daughter to our family - but it is necessary. Your actions affect everyone, not just your little bubble. For anyone still in doubt, the Startalk Radio podcast on covid (though US focused) puts it pretty bluntly. Finally, to start the episode, I want to quickly mention the sad passing of Eddie Van Halen, who died at the age of 65 after a battle with throat cancer. Rest in peace, guitar god.
Same old story unfortunately. Wednesday fall to yet another defeat, this time at home to Reading. We pick apart the goals and try to figure out how we move forward. We talk a lot about Garry Monk - and on Owlpinions, we want your views: are you still backing him as manager? Also Dom chats to Joey Pelupessy to get their players' take on what's going wrong, and his hopes for a new deal.

In this episode, the boys harken back to their controversial days, and look at their year review with spotify. Dom wants to take this to the next level and Matt got a new aritzia jacket. Also Dom gives a young virgin some toxic advice on how to fuck longer to impress the girl he’s into. ENJOY
From the vault interview with Michael, Dom and Jeff at Rock on the Range they had a blast with the band Wage War and these cats weren't down with our fun. Very evident in this interview, this is a must listen to and feel the uncomfortable feeling. Gotta love it! Also Dom played an interview Bill of Today's Boondoggle did with Head Ned of Okilly Dokilly. We learned alot from this interview and hope you did too. Opened the show talking about Vultan and their upcoming show with Quiet Riot and the rescheduled/cancelled gig with DiRT. Music Played: Dee Snider, Wage War and Okilly Dokilly. We also played the weekly Rock N Metal Newz segment. Thanks for tuning in to our live broadcast of the Maximum Threshold Radio Show and also thanks for downloading this episode.

Don't worry, we've not come over all D&D! Except that Mike is now a level fifteen sex wizard with incredible hands and a burning beard, All four foot of Dom looks great in his high heels and cape, and Lizard Anna tries to nab the last of the beer from Dom's iron grip. Can this mismatched band of merry adventurers escape the Dragon's Lair? We know the answer, and you too can share in this powerful elder knowledge by listening on! Also Dom got really in to drawing his notes for this episode, so we've included them here for your entertainment. Let us know how you feel about fantasy TIER on twitter @TIER_PODCAST
Getting pretty emotional in this episode description, Goosebuddies. This is our fiftieth episode. And what a fitting book to devour than the return of Slappy, R.L.'s own Mickey Mouse TM. It's also a fitting shame that this book is super boring! Gotta spice up this demonic dummy, book man! Paul's greatest fear is this wooden child and we can't figure out what Slappy's end game is-- succeeding in the entertainment industry as a ventriloquist act? Long term investments? Child slavery? Also Dom drops a cliffhanger in this episode that will chill you to your curly bone. Thank you for listening in on this audio adventure with us, fright friends.
