Bobby continues the annual SB4E tradition with Mrs. Hazzard! For Gonerfest 13, we delve into what we did, bands we saw (and some we didn't), and the shooting (?!?) with our special guests from Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee. Rob Yazzie can't remember which name to call Bobby. Heel Turn Records head Honcho Gary drops in to talk about his label and video games. Mrs. Hazzard hates Bobby's driving. Shawn Carpetbagger waxes philosophically. All this and more! Plus music from bands we loved at Gonerfest. Dig it!

Things i've picked up over the past month from Gonerfest 12, CMJ and just being a weirdo in my house. For some reason lots of bands from Austin and a few Australians.

Mobile recordings from our long weekend in Memphis of seeing bands, digging for records, and drinking beer - all under the banner of Gonerfest 12!  You'll hear us at our snackiest in the summary of Day 1 - so try to bear with it.  (After that, Bobby wisely decided to record the rest of the updates after we'd slept it off a bit.)  *After initial release of this episode, Bobby discovered that one of our transmissions from Memphis was missing.  A whole segment had not gotten over the wires to the home office in Sandusky with the rest of the audio.  Upon receiving a backup copy of the missing file, the production crew pulled an all-nighter to stitch in that other bit of reporting to complete this episode the way the SB4E crew intended. 

The last of our field reports from Memphis about the last big day of Gonerfest 11.  Bobby chats/flirts with our buddy Rob Yazzie (Lola Cola, Love Collector, The Fells).  Chris Eggroll relates a harrowing tale of collateral bathroom damage. Meanwhile on the homefront, Slacks Peterson hits up a Cassette Store Day party over at Fond Object.  There, he talks to Doug and Steph of Mystery Twins who dropped the "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" EP on tape for the occasion.  He also catches up with Ryan Sweeney (Cheap Time, Hans Condor) to discuss record digging and whatnot. 

Bobby Hazzard and The Colonel are rolling around Memphis with Nashville crony Chris Eggroll on Day 2 of Gonerfest.  Slacksless Peterson continues to hold it down at the home studio, anchoring the podcast and trying to make sense of the incoming field reports.  Bobby chats with BEN LYON - frontman of The Hemingers/the illustrator responsible for the cover art on tons of records you know and love.

The guys take a Spring Break weekend in Memphis for the eleventh round of Gonerfest, and it's going to take a trilogy of episodes to fill y'all in on the awesomeness. Here in the first round we've got interviews with New Zealand punk rock quartet COOL RUNNINGS and also ORVILLE NEELY of Bad Sports, OBN IIIs, James Arthur's Manhunt, etc. Plus a breakdown of the bands that played the first day of Gonerfest. Hang in there for a little late-night unplugged jam that the Cool Runnings dudes laced us with!

Summer is here, good jams are coming from all directions, and the search for this year's perfect hot weather beer is on!  It's a lovely season to try out some wheat beers, shandies, and/or session ales as the guys run down 45s by Mac Blackout, Mary Monday & the Bitches, and The Crypt Keeper, plus LPs by The Shivvers, Pookie & the Poodles, and Warm Soda.  You might need at least a 6-pack to make it through the Styx album featured in this installment of Bobby's Crap Corner.  And you may wonder if your drink was dosed when you check out the psychedelic stylings of a certain Frankie Valli 45 that The Colonel has deemed to be a dollar bin diamond. Also in this episode: The Colonel attempts to deliver a "state of the podcast" address, and in true spring break fashion is made to drink during this speech.  Stache(less) decides he would now like to be referred to as "Snacks Anderson."  Bobby's obsession with the movie "Streets of Fire" extends to Jim Steinman's excesses in the soundtrack.  The Colonel makes reference to the sci-fi tinged video for "Loverboy" by Billy Ocean.  Gonerfest 11 buzz begins with first lineup announcements.
