This episode was recorded on site at New Way Bar in Ferndale during Pursuer’s EP release show, presented by Scheme 13. Pursuer shared the stage with Vermont, Small Parks, Hexing, Ship & Sail, and my musical baby, In a Daydream. I had a blast going straight from playing a super sweaty set to jumping on the mic to record another live event podcast. I chatted with a lot of people, including Vince (vocals/guitar in Pursuer), Noah (drums in In a Daydream), Jenn (ITN logo maker/sentence struggle-to-maker), Patrick (Scheme 13 organizer), and more. Don’t worry- I didn’t let Colin take over the podcast like the last live episode. I want to say thank you to the awesome people at Scheme 13 for booking m’band and m’podcast, and thank YOU for listening! Air date: 9/2/2019.

Just a couple old hacks talking about the good old days! Tim (guitar/vocals in Bathroom of the Future) had a lengthy and enlightening conversation about everything from Dan Gilbert playing Monopoly with Detroit’s skyline, to opening up for your heroes, to our daddy issues or lack thereof, to BOTF’s new album “Words I Had.” Be sure to stick around til the end for another bedroom exclusive performance of a song off that album, and check out their music on whatever streaming platform you use. Thanks for listening! Air date: 8/22/2019

Jenn Hylla (graphic artist behind the Invite the Neighbors logo and masterful tolerator of all my nonsense) wanted to shake things up a bit and interview ME for a change, so I said hey, why not? The idea behind this episode is to help my listeners get to know me a little better. Hopefully we were able to accomplish that while still being entertaining! And I must say, I’m quite proud of Jenn, who was a natural in her first ever attempt at hosting a podcast. She may have even earned herself a spot as an occasional guest co-host!? I’d love to hear what you guys thought of this episode with someone else taking the reigns for a change. Thank you all for listening, and don’t forget to click FOLLOW on Spotify and SUBSCRIBE on iTunes, Google Play, etc. I also would not be mad if you left me a glowing review! 🙂 Air date: 8/19/2019.

I met Tom when I was good and drunk at Mash in Ann Arbor and he was playing bass in a bar band. We started talking and figured out we shared a lot of influences, so eventually he sent me a link to his band White Flash’s album, and I was HOOKED, people. It’s called “Younger Days and Simpler Times” and it’s on Bandcamp and Spotify. Seriously give that one a listen. It was great getting to finally sit down and have a real conversation with him, and I hope you all enjoy it too. Air date: 8/12/2019.

Episode 20!? What is that, like, a milestone or something? FYI, Antighost and I are basically BFFs now. There is not a nicer group of guys playing meaner music than these three, I will lay my hard earned money on that. Trust me when I say this won’t be the last you hear from Antighost on this podcast. We talked about all the things, including the fact that Past Life from Philly is a band of sweethearts. Stream Antighost’s EP “Animal Panic” and go see them live! Air date: 8/8/2019.

Episode 19 features myself having a hearty chat with Micah Cotner, who runs the Dragon’s Den house venue, sang in Complainer., played drums in Seaholm (back when they were good teehee winkwink), and now plays drums in Solemn Judgment. This episode is one of those smart ones where we chat about real life stuff and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. There is plenty of tomfoolery mixed in as well. I also would just like to say two words: Meth Gator. Thanks for listening! Air date: 8/5/2019.

Sat down with the members of Great Expectations and talked about their new album, “Figures of Speech” which drops this week, so check it out! We also talked about touring, tolerating Pat Ray on the road somehow, balancing fun and emotional honesty while performing, and a bunch of other stuff that I can’t remember right now. Stick around to the end of the episode to hear the band do an acoustic performance of their song “Sore Throat.” Thanks for listening, peeps. Air date: 8/1/2019

Recorded on site at the Blind Pig! If you make it all the way through this one, you’re a real fan and a true friend of the podcast. There’s so much going on in this episode! I didn’t bother editing because I think it would be better to capture the chaos of podcasting at a packed live show. I had too many guests on to count, and ironically, barely any Fallow Land members. But the show was fun! I enjoyed the live performances from Ness Lake, Parkway & Columbia, Secret Grief, and Fallow Land of course. They all killed it. Thanks to everyone who came out and jumped on the guest mic with me! And a special thanks to Nick Caldwell for not saying anything on air that would cause me to lose half my audience immediately. Hope you guys enjoy! Air date: 7/29/2019.

WARNING: this episode contains toxic levels of tomfoolery and should not be consumed by children or the elderly. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult with your doctor before listening to this episode. Pat Ray is a silly goose, a walking meme, and a shockingly dedicated member of the DIY music community. We talked about his bands, his booking group, and their origin stories. We also talked a little bit about touring shits and driverless pizza delivery vehicles. Please enjoy responsibly. Air date: 7/22/2019.
