"Cousteau'd"
Instead of the guest picking 5 pieces of music, or a draft or me just rambling as I do on the "Five and Change" episodes, I thought I would go with a new format. I wanted to start doing "deep dives" on records that interest me for one reason or another. I went with one of my favorites, "Animosity" by C.O.C. I am joined by Rich and Will for this one and we used a scoring method developed by my buddy Bob Shedd.
As usual there are a lot of detours. Not only do we talk at length about C.O.C., but we also name check Alienator, Crumbsuckers, The Accused and a few others.
We had a good time recording this one - I hope you enjoy it as well.

"Looking for that sponsorship"
Marc Sabo is the bassist/vocalist of the doom project Orion's Sword. He is also responsible for the Excised/Anatomised podcast. Each season on his podcast Marc dissects and discusses a band's catalog at length. I appeared on the season dedicated to Prong. He has since returned the favor and made an appearance on the Postscript twice. This is a conversation recorded BEFORE his prior appearances but not edited until recently.
We talk a lot about cover songs on this episode - Creedence Clearwater Revival, Memphis Minnie, Intronaut, Crowbar, Coalesce and many more.
You can find Excised/Anatomised on various podcatchers and Marc's band here-orionssword.bandcamp.com/

"Total Cat Failure"
Gavin is a lifer. Whether as a musician (Absolution, Burn, Canonized, NY Hoods, Die 116) or as a martial artist, he has demonstrated a high level of dedication to his craft. Which, made him a perfect guest for the podcast! I mean, folks that are in it for the long haul SURELY have opinions on music (and other topics). Gavin did not disappoint! We had a pretty fun and vigorous conversation that covered a lot of ground; AC/DC, Bark Market, Lunachicks, The Bar-Kays, Little Walter, Hayes Carll, Steely Dan, Aerosmith, The Cure, The Smiths, Nausea, Barry Crimins, Foetus/JG Thirwell. physicalculturecollective.com @diamondheartpcc@burnnyhc (Interview originally published 4/11/2021) -
"Right Hand Hardcore"
I was feeling a bit nostalgic recently and decided to talk with my buddy Rich Miles and Chicago Will about music the 1990s. What were we listening to? Does it hold up? How did it shape our listening habits? Why did Dylan ultimately pick Brenda over Kelly? Or did he?
Some of things we gab on and on about; Winter, Day of Suffering, Ressurection, Failure Face, Bloodlet, Out Cold, Rorshach and a lot more!

"Rich Miles und Der Ring des Nibelungen"
As I grow older, summers seem to go by much more quickly than they did when I was young. I doubt I am the only one experiencing this phenomenon. A brief (and busy) this past summer was, I still managed to see a show or two and get some new records. I thought it would be fun to cap off the season by talking with my dude, Rich Miles about some of the music that has caught our ears. Most of it is new (to us, at least), but revisited some old favorites as well.
Some of things we gab on and on about; Nausea, Chaka Khan, Rufus, Ray Parker Jr., Huey Lewis, Iabhorher, Canal Irreal, Cattlepress, Voivod, Minority Threat, Durand Jones & the Indications, Bizzaros, Devo, Wesley Bright and the Honey Tones, No Exceptions, Body Farm, Dry Socket, Faucheuse, Bombardment, Vacant State, Roky Erickson and our Blind Rage Weekend.

"Martin Ain's Frilly Shirt"
Finally!
That BRAND SPANKING NEW EPISODE that I have been holding over your heads, like an audio Sword of Damocles has dropped. It is nice to be back talking music with friends and MAN there is a lot of talk this episode!
I'm joined by Tim Shauver (Shotgun Sodomy), Marc Sabo (Orion's Sword and the Excised/Anatomised podcast), as well as my old buddy Rich Miles.
On this episode we are talking 80s metal. What bands do we think folks should be looking to in lieu of "The Big Four"? We answer that very question in the form of a "draft".
It was a fun exercise and a good conversation - even if I railroad everyone. What can I say? It has been a long time since I've recorded.
In any case, there are going to be some slight changes to podcast that you will notice in future episodes. Hopefully for the better!
In the meantime, enjoy this much-longer-than-intended-episode.
Thanks for checking in!

I have a love/hate relationship with New York Hardcore. The stuff I love – I love A LOT. The stuff I loathe… Well, let’s just focus on the stuff I love. On this mini-episode I ramble on about arguably the most widely known and influential “scene” spawned by hardcore-punk. This certainly isn’t a historical review – just some random thoughts on some well covered ground. If you’re a new to this strain of hardcore – this is a good primer (subjectively). If you have a good handle on it, listen anyway and send me hate mail after.

"Ugh, Ough, Owwwwwwwww"
Eric Starr is the former guitarist of hardcore-punk band D.I.M and currently of Riptide Suicide. He is also the owner of Arkham Tattoo, located in Akron. I’ve known Eric for a really, really long time now and always enjoy hanging out with him. We cover a ton of ground – partly because we don’t get to see each other much – partly because of my verbosity. This conversation was recorded while Eric was working on a piece for me.
Some of things we gab on and on about; Sade, Hank Williams Sr., The Weirdos, Circus of Power, Bathory, Dark Angel, Discharge, Death Angel, Slayer, Hellhammer, Waylon Jennings, The Meters, the films Frakenstein Conquers the World and The Mysterians, Horror film hosts The Ghoul and Superhost, High on Fire, and a TON of Celtic Frost.
This is part 1 of 2.

It’s an AMBUSH!!! But, it’s also Halloween so we’re talkin’ Danzig. But in the spirit of the season, TRICKS not treats, and jump scares. I’ve attacked several of my unknowing friends with a question; Of Danzig’s three biggest projects (Danzig, Samhain and Misfits), what are the 3 best songs?
I ambushed Chris Wyatt (co-host Nickel City Soundtrack), Dave Neeson (writer/artist of Gorgonessa, guitarist of Harriet the Spy), Brittany Nader (producer/co-host of WKSU’s Shuffle), Mike Thorn (Razor Blades & Aspirin), Rich Miles (co-host of Nothing Better to Do, bassist Constatine Sakathi), Bob Shedd (co-host In Search of Tracks and Axe to Grind), Jenn Kidd (Executive Director of The Nightlight Theater), Erick Eagol (co-host of Keeping it 99), and most IMPORTANTLY, Pete Hilton (co-host of In Search of Tracks). Pete has gone on record as saying that The Misfits are NOT a Halloween band. Of course, Pete is entitled to his entirely wrong opinion.

"Djent-the dumbest name for a genre...ever"
Jon Vinson is a busy guy. At the time of this interview, not only was he the drummer for Axioma, Six Kills Nine, occasionally for Child Bite, Jesus Egg and Persistent Aggressor. But, I think things have slowed down a bit and he currently sits on the throne for Frayle. Jon is also a drum instructor and an insane marathon runner. Jon is incredibly talented which explains why he is in such demand.He was kind enough to sit and chat with me a bit about his favorite records and drummers. We go into the weeds a bit about drumming in general and cover a ton of ground musically.
Here are some of the artists we talk about; Pistols at Dawn, Deep Purple, Under Attack, Klaus Nomi, Captain Beefheart, Limp Wrist, Coinmonster, Alice Cooper, Biohazard, Yes, Burnt by the Sun, Sarah Thawer, Dark Angel, Morbid Angel, Nasum and Meshuggah.
This is PART 1 of 2.

"Zippy's Maddest Stories Ever Told"
I had the pleasure to chatting with Blaine Cook – one of the most distinct vocalists in hardcore (crossover, etc.). Whether it is with The Fartz, Toe Tag or The Accused, Blaine’s voice is unmistakable and utterly unique. The Accused played a significant part in my musical journey and I had a lot of fun talking with Blaine about some of his favorite records!
