In this episode, Martin and Steve are joined by their good friend Sam. A different Sam this time. You might have heard a story about Sam asking someone from the crowd to put their balls in his face when he played a gig in his younger days. Listen to find out if the story is true or not. Sam chose the self-titled Billy Talent album from the year 2003. Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before Atom Willard was announced as the new Alkaline Trio drummer, so Martin's guess is for real.

Die Themen der Folge: Eine Ex-Freundin von Bad Bunny hat den puertoricanischen Rapper auf 37 Millionen Dollar verklagt, weil er Sprachnotizen mit ihrer Stimme in seinen Songs verwendet hat. Die Bands Turbostaat und Pascow haben in Statements darauf hingewiesen, dass auf Amazon aktuell inoffizielle Merchandise-Produkte kursieren. Während in den letzten Monaten vor allem Trettmann in verschiedenen Interviews über die Trennung von KitschKrieg gesprochen hat, äußert sich das Kreativ-Kollektiv nun erstmals selbst zur Thematik. Für ihre kommenden Shows brauchen die Foo Fighters nach dem Tod von Taylor Hawkins einen Ersatz. Die Favoriten dafür sind aktuell wohl Matt Cameron von Pearl Jam und Atom Willard von Rise Against!
Crack open the new vinyl edition of The Special Goodness' Land Air Sea, and what you'll find in the gatefold liner notes isn't an essay on the recording process, an invocation of the band's songwriting influences, or anything related to the actual tunes. Instead, you'll find a statement from Pat Wilson of Weezer about his and Atom Willard's shared obsession: vintage cars. From the cover of Land Air Sea to the bitchin' new shirt over for sale, cars and trucks play heavy into the Special Goodness mythology. So for this episode, Weezer historian Karl Koch is focusing on the open road—discussing tours and Pat and Atom's gearhead tendencies. Wanna share your favorite Special Goodness song? Give us a call at 1-877-WASTOIDS.
Welcome to the Special Pod-ness, a four-part mini-series dedicated to the history of The Special Goodness by the three dudes who (probably) know it best: Pat Wilson of Weezer, drummer Atom Willard (Rocket From the Crypt, Plosivs, Against Me!) and Karl Koch, Weezer historian. As we celebrate the brand new red-colored vinyl edition of the band's third album, Land Air Sea, Pat, Atom, and Karl take us back to the ‘90s and early 2000s to share stories about the ins and outs of the music industry, run-ins with other bands and musicians, and the making of the record. This episode focuses on the MTV Music Awards, Atom Willard meeting the Weezer/Special Goodness crew, and that time Jay Leno ended up knocking on Pat's door—and by the way, Elvis is involved.

From one member of Against Me! to another this week, drummer Atom Willard joins me for Episode 216 of Life In The Stocks as we attempt to cover a significant chunk (there was no way we were ever going to cover all of it) of the project he's been involved in over the years, from Rocket From The Crypt and The Special Goodness to Angels & Airwaves and Against Me! Like many of the best drummers out there - Josh Freese, Joey Castillo, Ilan Rubin - Atom is insanely prolific and has played with so many great bands. It was cool to pick his brain and hear his unique perspective on all the bands that he's played in. Life In The Stocks is sponsored by Radical Clothing.

Big Fat Five: A Podcast Financially Supported by Big Fat Snare Drum
This week's guest is Atom Willard. Atom played with some of my favorite bands growing up including Rocket From the Crypt, The Offspring, Social Distortion, and Angels and Airwaves, but he is the current drummer for Against Me! and Laura Jane Grace and The Devouring Mothers. As I often do in the days leading up to these chats, I went down a rabbit hole of Atom's drumming and I was blown away by how much of my OWN playing can be attributed to Mr. Willard...like...it's actually embarrassing. This one meant a lot to me and I hope you enjoy my conversation with Atom Willard as he dissects his biggest musical influences that made him into the drummer he is today. Cheers ya'll.

Atom Willard joined Rocket from the Crypt when he was still in high school. During his ten-year tenure with the band, he honed a unique style, balancing punk rawness and precision. Atom tells Joe about: his Catholic upbringing in San Diego; his early fascination with Kiss (who would soon be displaced by bands like Iron Maiden); his time with bands like Rocket from the Crypt and Against Me; figuring out who he is outside of a band context; how he defines musical greatness; and how he is trying to be a better person.
With Brian out on tour, Bill welcomes podcaster Justin Tyler (SongSpotters.com) to talk about the seminal (already) trans punk rock anthem Transgender Dysphoria Blues (2014, Total Treble) by Against Me! Formed by then-name Tom Gable as a teenager in 1997, the band went on to become an icon known for their political fueled punk rock anthems. Surprising many, front woman Laura Jane Grace came out as transgender in 2012 and began transitioning to living her life as a woman. Using her own experiences and that of a fictional transgender prostitute, Grace penned and released this album a couple years later. Justin talks about how this album was his introduction to the band, and how it has factored into a cause that he feels close to. We then jump into discussing gender expression and toys, transgender dysphoria in the DSM V, how these songs are fantastic sing along songs, Atom Willard's awesome drumming, suicide rates in the trans community, how sexual identity and gender expression are troubles for many (including cisgender individuals), how Laura Jane Grace is a hero for taking on the responsibility of being a trans communicator, how even those with good intentions sometimes have trouble with pronouns, sci-fi author Ann Leckie's series that exists in a gender neutral world, and more as we make our way through there album track by track!
