Ep412: Jamie Stillman (Harriet the Spy, Earthquaker Devices, the Party of Helicopters)
Harriet the Spy has a wonderful reissue of Unfuckwithable, through Solid Brass. Jamie played the drums in that band, but is better known to most as the Impressario behind Earthquaker Devices. As well as the Party of Helicopters, Relaxer, etc. There is much talk of touring, revisiting older material, Ohio, rocking while aging, and all that. As well as, yes... quite a bit of gear talk. Yes, yes... hard to believe.

Ep411: Brant Bjork (Kyuss, Brant Bjork Trio, Fu Manchu, Stöner)
That's right, the desert rock legend himself has a new record with Brant Bjork Trio - Once Upon a Time in the Desert. In an all star band featuring Ryan Gut and Mario Lalli! So how about a floor up discussion, all the way from getting into punk rock, pots and pans, into present day. With stops along the formative early days, into Sons of Kyuss (and later Kyuss) and after. Solo records, bands, Stöner and lots more. A track by track breakthrough of Once Upon a Time in the Desert? You better believe it. This band is hitting the road hard, let's hear all about it.

Ep410: Alexander Hacke & Danielle De Picciotto (hackedepicciotto)
It has been a long time since the Berlin based experimental duo has been on protonic reversal. There's a BEST OF the band (live in Napoli!), which also serves as a great introduction as well as other newish records. The whiplash of touring with Alexander's band Einstürzende Neubauten and then immediately doing hackedepicciotto. Soundtracks, At the Mountains of Madness, nomad life, musical discovery, touring on a budget and sometimes by train... and how not to not be completely annoyed by your musical and life partner that you are surrounded by almost the entire time.

Ep409: Travis Keller and Joe Cardamone (Buddyhead, Icarus Line, Buddyhead Movie)
Both Travis and Joe have been on the show a lot over the years. But this time they are raising funds for a Buddyhead documentary. A necessary salve for the lack of any kind of documentation for the entire mid-2000s world for one of the most irreverent websites to ever exist. Talk about that, scene documentation in general, movies that get it wrong and get it right and just general talk about DIY and things along those lines.
