This week I spoke with not only musicians, but musicians making indie comics! Ryan Holgerson of Slackmatic (and musically, The Modrats), along with returning guests, Levi Erickson (The Big) and Jeff Williams (Supernova Über Alles), sit down for a conversation that leans heavily towards making comics and the comics industry in general (both indie and major), but we do talk music too! This one runs a little longer, but it could have easily been another hour and a half if I hadn't stopped the recorder, plus I spared you thirty minutes of toy talk up front!

In this episode, I welcome back Christopher Bickel, director of the upcoming film, Pater Noster and the Mission of Light. We touch on his time in bands such as In/humanity and Guyana Punchline, but mostly stay focused on his still in progress DIY horror movie this time around. We also talk about how thrifting has changed, the importance of buying physical media, the joys and pains of crowdfunding, and one pretty amazing soundtrack!

This week, Gary Ramsey paid a visit to the GGH Studio to talk about his nearly 50 years of playing music. Gary is one of a kind and a real hidden gem in the music scene, getting his inspiration by seeing Zeppelin in his teens, cutting his teeth on metal, moving to California and then walking back to North Carolina, a detour in prison after he got back, and America's Got Talent audition, and so many other stories, some of which you aren't gonna believe! Heck, I'm not sure Gary even believes them all! One of the more unique individuals I know and someone who is truly passionate about music, so whether you know him or not, you're sure to be entertained by this one!

This week I spoke with Mitchell McGirt of Bicycle Face via Skype to follow up on how the reunion show went and to hear about the Caleb Southern tribute show the following night as well. We also hit a few quick tangents and talk about what the future may hold for Mitch. This episode was already planned, but having this week's guest reschedule left a hole in the schedule, so this shorter episode should hold you over until next week's new full length episode drops!

This week I travelled to Greensboro, NC, to talk to Bicycle Face about their reunion shows and the reason they came about. In addition to talking about their histories in music, we also talk about witty stage banter, Caleb Southern, where Bicycle Face fit into the triangle signing spree of the mid-nineties, and becoming a "that guy!" actor.

This week I sat down with the band Bog Loaf, at the bar of The Milestone Club in Charlotte NC to talk about their individual and collective musical journeys! I gush a little bit up front and again at the end about what this place means to me, and we have to deal with a fan in the background (I scrubbed it as much as I could), but then we get around to all things Bog Loaf, including their upcoming residency at Snug Harbor (Every Wednesday, June 2023, https://snugrock.com/) and their recent Living Room Sessions with Nothing But Drums (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC63_LS8s9Z2KbWG98EFVZhg).

This week I spoke with Chuck Walker via Skype about his influential band, Bedlam Hour. Not only does Chuck walk us through the history of his band, but he also fills in a lot of gaps in the South Carolina punk rock history that hasn't made it on the podcast yet. We also talk about touring, his side projects, how punk rock and old age go hand in hand, we have a brief visit from my parents dogs, and talk about getting the band back together!

This week's episode is another crossover episode. Much like GGHT73 with The Rooster and Queen City Rejects, part one of this episode can be heard on another podcast! Before we recorded this episode I was the guest on Imvibes Podcast season 4 episode 3 (titled The Crossover), so go listen to that one before or after mine! This week, me and my guests are Eric Milatz and Ernest Stevenson talk about how their podcast recently lost some members, their beginnings in music (including some Polka talk!), where the podcast is heading next, and we give a lot of love to Tommy's Pub, who was gracious enough to host us for the evening. And then we round it all out with a little jazz in the background!

This week I visited The Rooster to record a two part episode with not only the owner of The Rooster, but Jonny and Matt from Queen City Rejects as well! On my half of the podcast, we talk about the trials of getting The Rooster open, how things are going since opening, and about a big punk rock show happening on 3.11.23 with Queen City Rejects, No Anger Control, Self Made Monsters, Van Huskins, and Y'all're! And since QCR is along for the ride on this one, we also talk about how this will be their final show! This one is filled with laughs and plenty of tangents, but we always get back to the subjects at hand!
This episode is actually part two, so to hear part one, search Rooster Radio E69 wherever you listen to podcasts! Both episodes are also available in video from on youtube; see links below!
