12 Years Baby! We've come a long way and thanks for listening now, then and )hopefully) 

Very proud to welcome the first OSCAR winner on the podcast in the form of Cord Jefferson. He is the director/writer of the film American Fiction which won the award for "Best Adapted Screenplay" and when I saw him in a Propagandhi shirt, I HAD to have him on the podcast. We hung out in his living room and chopped it up over an hour about his time in Tuscon, AZ, his Mount Rushmore punk/hardcore bands and the time he went out with The Bled on Warped Tour for a week. This is a crucial chat and hope you enjoy!

Man, I love my job. I get to bring you these great discussions with people who are creating some incredible art and today, we have a big one.  Duane Denison is the guitarist from noise rock pioneers, The Jesus Lizard. They are back with a newly released LP and aren't shying away from being the charming weirdos they are. Duane and I discuss the concept of selling out, getting a scholarship for playing guitar (!) and working in a library. Duane is very open and honest in his approach to music and he brought that same spirit to our discussion.

Beyond stoked to bring you this discussion with Matthew Wainwright from Cold Gawd to the pod waves this week. I became quickly obsessed with their new full length ("I'll Drown on this Earth") on Dais Records and wanted to know more about this very nuanced band that pulls from shoegaze, punk, hardcore and many other places. We discuss growing up in the Inland Empire, goosebump inducing moments and social media shoegaze. Listen and enjoy!
