Episode 360 features Thanks! I Hate It from Hollister, CA. I spoke with Joel and Ryan to talk about their recent Midwest tour, traveling in an RV, balancing remote work while on the road, and what it really looks like to grind as an independent band in today's music landscape. We got into their songwriting process, the emotional themes behind their music, and how they have carved out their sound in the modern emo and pop punk scene. Thanks! I Hate It is a self described Mid Westcoast Emo band blending the heart tugging vulnerability of Midwest emo with the high energy punch of pop punk. Drawing inspiration from bands like Real Friends, Hot Mulligan, and The Wonder Years, they have developed a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Their sophomore album Scatterbrain, released in fall 2025, has been praised as a major step forward in both songwriting and production. The band is also known for their creatively bold song titles, and on this episode I featured the track “Tonight's the Night You Hit Your Dad.” Thanks for listening and for continuing to support independent and local artists.

Brian Burkheiser breaks his silence. In his first sit-down interview since parting ways with I Prevail, Brian tells his story — from forming one of rock's biggest bands to the vocal injuries, the Eagle Syndrome diagnosis, the legal battle, a manic episode that landed him in a psych ward, and everything in between. Now he's back with his new band Scatterbrain and the debut single "Phases" out everywhere now.

This is the final interview ( Part 2 ) with the reptilian being named Lacerta that was supposedly recorded in April, 2000 somewhere in Sweden.

OK, so this is a trip.This is audio from the transcript of an interview with a "Terran Reptilian" being named Lacerta that was posted on a Swedish conspiracy website back in 2000.

A second interview supposedly took place in April, 2000, and we will publish Part 2 as soon as we get our grubby little hands on it. This is obviously most likely total fiction, but set aside your disbelief while listening and ask yourself, "Could this actually be true?"True or not, this is super interesting!(c)2025 Scatterbrain Productions.Hail to our Reptilian overlords!

In speaking with my two guests, they shared stories of the three generations of writers in the family including, Irene's mother, Wilma, followed by my guest, Irene and her son Brendan. Brendan is an award winning graphic novel/picture book author and acquiring editor at Blackstone Publishing where he also runs the TV and Film Division even made notice of having his maternal grandmothers published books on his desk. Brendan shares that he was always supported and encouraged by his family with his passion for comic books which he started writing and drawing caricatures at a young age.In time, Irene expressed "that the family was moving in a different direction and the divorce was almost inevitable." Irene continues, "I'm highly emotionally intelligent and I finally found my tribe. I found people who spoke my language." This all occurred once she went back to school for her Masters Degree in Counseling, and later on became a social worker. Brendan raves about his childhood as a latch key kid. He loved growing up in Connecticut. And now as a father, he appreciates even more what it takes for parents to raise their children. And now he's learned even more about what his mother was going through raising the four Deneen children.Both Irene and Brendan claim to be emotionally intelligent-they are very good at listening to others, which Brendan feels that "not many people listen to one another these days." Brendan has always been there for his mom as a sounding board. Irene says " Brendan was my listening post." When she needed to talk, she call Brendan.They have a special bond for sure. They respect one another.Irene Deneen Murray: Irene Deneen Murray grew up in the 50's, an era when a woman could be a nurse, teacher or secretary. She chose teacher because it pleased her mother. In truth the first half of her life was devoted to taking care of or pleasing her mother. At age 50 having raised 4 kids in a Hollywood -worthy suburb, Irene became a divorcee and learned to love being more adventurous than she had previously ever imagined. By then she was working as a social worker having recently earned a Master's Degree in Counseling. Irene loves the natural world and has been a devoted hiker and later a biker, paddler and pretty consistently a practitioner of yoga. She continues these pastimes presently sometimes to the chagrin of her children since they may picture her falling off a cliff, rolling over in her kayak or some other catastrophe. Her children and grandchildren are her greatest achievement. She is a good observer and has insight galore but is sometimes amazed at how each of her children has developed so uniquely. Brendan Deneen is the author of the novelsThe Ninth Circle andThe Chrysalis, as well as the bestselling four-volume Night Night, Groot picture book series for Marvel/Disney. He's also the author of the middle-grade graphic novelGreen Arrow: Stranded for DC Comics; the novels Morbius: Blood Ties and Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation:Conquest from Marvel/Titan, and Alien: Uncivil War from 20th Century Studios/Titan. His other graphic novel work includes multiple volumes of Flash Gordon, an original Island of Misfit Toys book, and the original graphic novel Scatterbrain. In addition to his writing, Brendan has been working in the publishing and film/TV industries for twenty-five years, including development jobs with Scott Rudin Productions and Miramax, as well as editorial and book-to-film jobs with St. Martin's Press and Tor Books. He currently works at Blackstone Publishing, where he's an acquiring editor in addition to running the company's film/TV division, which he created, and where he has dozens of literary projects set up at movie studios, streamers, and networks. His short stories and essays have been published by St. Martin's Press, Reader's Digest Books, 13Thirty Press, and Necro Publications.

Episode 196 of Scatterbrain Podcast is in memory of and dedicated to our friend Chris Anderson who recently died way too young...We catch up and banter about beer and the new Warbringer album "Wrath and Ruin". Then we review the new album "What Lies Ahead" by Poland's blackened-thrash outfit Frightful.Finally, we talk about premonitions. Specifically, the "premonition" both Ian and Dan had about Chris the day before we found out he had died, as well as other premonitions and weird coincidences we've had throughout our lives. We have all had these weird episodes of synchronicity in our lives, and they are truly inexplicable. Science will dismiss these events as pure coincidence, but it happens to everyone so frequently that there has to something more to it.Thank you for listening.Cherish every day. Because today could be your last.(c)2025 Scatterbrain Productions.Always.

By the mid-70s, Jeff Beck was a bit of an enigma. He started out as a blues player in The Yardbirds replacing Eric Clapton and sharing the stage for few shows with Jimmy Page. Then he formed The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart as his lead singer and Ronnie Wood on the bass where the band tried to be more commercial. He created one of the great power trios with Beck, Bogert and Appice and while they were a strong live draw, they didn't get a lot of radio play. By 1975 Jeff, who was never one to stay still musically, decided to put together his first Jeff Beck album. Instead of blues and hard rock based riffs he melded with Max Middleton on piano who helped write the songs, Phil Chen on the bass, and Richard Bailey to create some jazzy jams that allowed everyone to shine. However, he also had help from heavyweights George Martin, who produced the album as he did The Beatles, and Stevie Wonder, who wrote a couple of songs for Jeff including the sublime Cause We Ended As Lovers. It may have originally been a bittersweet song for his wife Syreeta but Jeff makes it his own by laying emotional guitar over over the mellow notes. And Jeff shows off his jazzy abilities on songs like Constipated Duck (great title), space funk on AIR blower, frenetic playing on Scatterbrain and one of his real signatures, Freeway Jam. Many of these became live staples of his for decades and the album not only went to #4 in the US but sold platinum despite the fact that there are no vocals on the album. With room to explore, Jeff led this group on a fun, experimental and tight journey to create a guitar masterpiece which is more jazz than rock.
