Dan talks with Joel Tannenbaum (Plow United, Snow Fairies, Skywriters) and Nick Palmer (WAX WAV, The Danger O's) about their new project The Blackburns. Nick tells the story of how he thought he was out of the music game until he got a message from Joel (Plow United was a huge band for Nick as a teen) that he was looking for a songwriting partner. Needless to say, Nick was back in, and the two of them quickly wrote a full length record. Joel and Nick talk about the process, what they did and didn't want to do, their mutual Twin Peaks obsessions, and the record as a love letter to their youth and young adult lives spent in small, regional punk scenes. The Blackburns' debut LP is out on April 12th, available on independent label Sell The Heart Records, the group's Bandcamp, and wherever you get your digital music.

On this return episode of the Oklahoma Lefty Podcast, we talk about the future of this feed which includes some new shows like Songs That Should Have Been Hits (a look at a song that should have been huge), Digging Deep (a detailed look and track-by-track review of a record), Artist Spotlight (hopefully that one is selfexplanitory), and the possible revival of my old shos The Voices of a Generation X and Destination Earth X. But we couldn't do an episode without playing some music. 1. "Fifty Dollar Bottle of Wine" by Aree & the Pure Heart (from Never Gonna Die) https://bit.ly/2U4spsP2. "The Spy Who Didn't Drive" by Code of the Jaguar (from Code of the Jaguar II) https://bit.ly/2Tntesl3. "AAA" by Beach Slang (from MLPS) https://bit.ly/2FlvdID4. "Fix My Head" by Bad Sleep (from Bad Sleep) https://bit.ly/2U47bLC5. "Led By Misleading" by Roustabouts (from 3017) https://bit.ly/2TNW4ag6. "Come To Your Senses" by WAX WAV (from EP2) https://bit.ly/2HMTc6C
Bill and Brian hang out with musician Nick Palmer (normally, we'd link to the band's website here, but Brian and I were discussing how awesome "Generation Gap" by WAX WAV is, so click this link and go watch the kickass video for it: ) and discuss Fugazi's Repeater (1990, Dischord). All the prerequisite talk about punk and what it means to punk happens, but we also discuss Ian MacKaye and Guy Piccioto's politically/emotionally charged lyrics that are still relevant today and the awesome musicianship of the rhythm section, Joe Lally and Brendan Canty. This and more as we make our way through the album track by track!
Philadelphia-based musician Nick Palmer reflects on the bands he got into during high school in the mid 90s and how the DIY mentality of his first love, Fugazi, has influenced him and so many other musicians to make music in the first place. Check out Nick's band, WAX WAV, at https://waxwav.bandcamp.com.
Nick and Dan both came from a love of punk rock, and both of them moved outward to embrace many other elements, but still hold true to their origins. They talk about Nick's first real band, Left Behind, and his late teens and early 20s touring with them, the start of The Danger O's, and his new band WAX WAV. Is it possible to write a political song that can also be universal? Do we cry at more things now because we're older, or because the world seems to be going to hell? How scary is it to front a band when you're used to being behind the kit? All these questions and more are answered.
