ITN 37 | Jacob Hanlon from Dogleg/Parkway & Columbia (White Lake, MI)



Hey! For this episode, I hung out with Jacob, the fourth leg of Triple Crown Records’ new favorite dog. The Dogleg/ITN mega transformer is now complete. Jacob and I had never met (as is often the case for me on this podcast), but we hit it off and talked about everything from the way different families view drugs and music to UFOs and Joe Rogan to Tyler Floyd’s impressive Fender amp collection to getting the fuck out of Memphis, TN. Thanks for listening everyone! Air date: 11/21/2019.


ITN 36 | Now With Real Humans (Detroit, MI)



Sat down with Detroit-based eclectic psych rock sorta band with a saxophone, Now With Real Humans. Stick around until the end to hear a song of theirs as well. We talked about all kinds of stuff, so honestly you should just listen. These guys are a great time and their music is unique and exploratory in the best possible way. If you’re a new listener, welcome and thanks! And for the OG ITN fans- you know what it is. It’s all love baby. Enjoy! Air date: 11/19/2019.


ITN 35 | Parker Grissom of Dogleg/Shortly (Detroit, MI)



This episode is basically an audio recording of me meeting Parker for the first time. We had a good time and talked for a quite a while on topics like from playing with Shortly, Dogleg’s new record “Melee” coming out on Triple Crown Records in 2020, when laughing sounds rehearsed, cat piss, comedy, and much more. Guess you’ll just have to listen to find out. Thanks for listening and hopefully you guys will enjoy this one as much as we did making it. Air date: 11/13/2019.


ITN 34 | Taylor Grimes, Creator of Music Blog Swim into the Sound (Hazel Park, MI/Portland, OR)



Sorry for the week with no episode! I was moving into a new house. But now I’m back with a gnarly new bedroom studio and my first full episode was with Taylor, creator of music/lifestyle blog, Swim into the Sound! Listen to hear about Taylor’s unique stance on music writing/reviewing. You’ll also hear me informally announce some cool news about a special podcast event coming up in December. Enjoy and thanks for listening! Air date: 10/21/2019.


ITN 33 | Saving Throw (Macomb, MI)



Had a conversation with the new homies in Macomb progressive math rock group Saving Throw. I met them when I was helping to run a show for Outta This World Booking in Detroit and LOVED their style. I was pleased to discover that they’re as good a hang as they are a band. Check out their music! And share the podcast! Cool news coming up soon. Thanks for listening! Air date: 10/7/2019.


ITN 32 | Tyler Floyd from Parkway & Columbia/Secret Grief/Summit House Studios (Brighton, MI)



Had a nice long conversation with TyLeR fLoYd, the brain daddy frontman of Parkway & Columbia, fanboy/guitarist in Secret Grief, and master producer wizard at his very own Summit House Studios aka his basement/drum foyer. Don’t let my jokes fool you- Tyler is one of the most talented people I know and I have a lot of respect for his work. P&C’s album “Wanderer” came out earlier this year and I strongly suggest you head over to bandcamp or Spotify to take a listen. I hope you guys enjoy the episode and as always, please rate/review/subscribe/share the podcast! Air date: 9/30/2019.


ITN 31 | Mike Kolesky from Just Guys Being Dudes (Hamtramck, MI)



I talked with Mike from Just Guys Being Dudes about his band, his house venue, and how each got its start. We also joked (kinda) about what it means to be a hipster and about a bunch of other stuff that I don’t remember right now. Check out his band on bandcamp and social media and come out to a show! Thanks for listening. Air date: 9/26/2019.


ITN 30 | Tequila Deer/Church Street Booking (Ypsilanti, MI)



30 episodes deep, woooaaahhh. Chilled with dem boyz in Tequila Deer, who also happen to make up part of the Church Street Booking crew. We talked about the origins and future of Tequila Deer, got a performance from TD, and also talked about the Great Pumpkin Fest coming up in October presented by CSB and Outta This World Booking. Check out their social media pages for more info, and thanks for listening! Air date: 9/23/2019.


ITN 29 | Joseph Xu Photography (Ann Arbor, MI)



First full episode with a photographer! Joseph Xu and I had a cool conversation about how the worlds of photography and music intersected for him. Honestly, we talked about so much stuff that I’m going to forego trying to summarize all of it and just tell you to listen to the episode. Notice the fancy episode photo on the website!? That’s because he took it. Check out his work HERE and hit him up on social media @jxu.photo to shoot your band! Thanks for listening, homies! Air date: 9/16/2019.


ITN 28 | Bombastic Dream Pussy (Ferndale, MI)



Sat down with Hayley from the mighty BOMBASTIC DREAM PUSSY!!! And the award for band name I’m least excited to say out loud to people outside the scene goes to… 😉 I put Hayley’s performance at the beginning of the episode for your listening enjoyment. Had a nice conversation, hope you enjoy that as well. Definitely check out BDP’s music online and give them some follows on the socials.
