What an honor to host super talented singer songwriter and actor Adam Busch on the show.

Matt Busch manages Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, a position that even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed envy over. Originally from Long Island, he graduated from the University of Albany SUNY, where he majored in Sociology, then worked handling merchandise for God Street Wine. He went on to work with Gov't Mule, Common Rotation, Bob Weir and Ratdog, Further, The Dead, Phil Lesh, and Wolf Bros. He routes tours, selects venues, deals with travel logistics and tour accounting, puts together Dead and Company's set lists, and much more. Matt currently spends most of his time in California, but travels all over the country and the world with Bob Weir and Dead and Company.
This week's episode of "Hunkered In The Bunker" needs no great explaination. It's the special Covers show. Ever wonder what a great college radio station(like WFUV for example) would sound like if they couldn't secure rights but still wanted to play songs by the Beatles, Bruce, Prine, Dar Williams, Leonard Cohen and Common Rotation? Well, they'd probably recruit Monsiuer Bernsteinn to just play everyone's songs for them. Well, here's what that would resemble... Also of note: this was the only show to be sponsored by "Sahtekar Caviar", one of Larry's collaborators in the used Turkish mixing equiptment/ bootleg caviar ring. It was not exactly widely announced by Dan as it was a precarious situation at the time but a necessary move to take the Bunker to the next level. It's not very dissimilar to all the mob money that controlled the airwaves in the 50's-60's. Now that we here at the Bunker are all above board with our wonderful sponsors it is an important piece of history and imperative to one's full understanding of the wild history surrounding the world's favorite quarantine FB live series.

JAMES COMBS of the band GREAT WILLOW has been on Radio8Ball many times under different names and in different roles. He joins host ANDRAS JONES for this session to discuss his song "To Know You Is To Save You" (recorded on Radio8Ball in Seattle in April of 2008) which was the randomly chosen answer to Pat Thomas's question on last week's episode. There's a synchronistic twist to this session that initiates a conversation about the current divide within the Democratic party which is neither comfortable nor easy but it may be familiar. Featuring the music of IRA MARLOWE, DAN BERN, COMMON ROTATION, GREAT WILLOW & I SEE HAWKS IN LA.

Eric Kufs got his start in a New York indie-folk trio called Common Rotation. He and his bandmates - Adam Busch and Jordan Katz - were childhood friends who had come of age together, started a band, forged an original sound and established themselves with relentless tours and several albums. Before long, their hard work had paid off and they'd collaborated with the likes of They Might Be Giants, Indigo Girls and Dan Bern. When Busch's acting career picked up speed in California, the trio decided to uproot the entire ensemble and Kufs and Katz relocated to Los Angeles with Busch. The saturated scene in LA prompted Kufs to find new ways to make a living at music. Sometimes, necessity is the mother of reinvention. Kufs started playing hours-long busking gigs on Santa Monica's highly trafficked 3rd Street Promenade shopping and dining district. The gigs were not theater shows where a captive audience sat and listened politely in their seats, but the transient nature of the steady stream of passersby provided Kufs with an opportunity disguised as a challenge. Kufs had always been prolific - he already had nearly a thousand original songs in his repertoire - and he now complemented his sizable catalog of originals with reimagined cover songs, providing yet another opportunity to expand on his considerable talent as a singer, guitarist and songwriter. The extended sets allowed him time to experiment; he could essentially profile the shoppers and revelers passing by and cater his song selection to garner the most attention. After all, attention meant tips and tips is income. It's an important lesson to learn that only foolhardy performers neglect to read their audiences. Years on in California, Kufs is still at it, making a living in music with his unique blend of folk and blue-eyed soul. With Common Rotation currently on hiatus, Kufs has established himself as a solo performer in his own right with a new EP called Sense and Nonsense in Psychology, Part One and a steady performance calendar.

ADAM BUSCH currently stars on TBS's series Men at Work and is the lead singer of the indie folk band Common Rotation. He got his start as a teenager, landing his first film role in Léon: The Professional (1994). He then had a recurring role on the children's series The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo. Since then, Adam has appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, House, Grey's Anatomy, Law and Order, The Jury, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. We discussed therapy, angst, narcissism, fear of success and fear of failure, and the joy and self indulgence of show biz. This is part 2 of our candid conversation and, yes, I will only release part 1 if the public demands it, albeit politely. You can do so here: www.employeeofthemonthshow.com.
BUCK HENRY, the actor (SNL, 30 Rock) and legendary screenwriter (The Graduate, To Die For, Protocol, Get Smart) joined TV writer ALLISON SILVERMAN (The Office, Portlandia, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Conan) and houseband COMMON ROTATION on this very special live taping in Los Angeles. We also screened MYC which you can now see here: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5caa1368d0/m-y-c-mice-york-city EMPLOYEE of the MONTH is a talk show all about work, jobs, and labor.

Over an hour of music and conversation with Common Rotation (Adam Busch, Eric Kufs, Jordan Katz), with an appearance by Dan Bern. Between some Christmas music and "an old Long Island protest song," we discuss movies inspired by true events, the pay-to-play racket and the Clear Channel monopoly, and the frightening prospect of strip club food.
