As usual, we talk silliness and forget to introduce ourselves.

Jon Burns from Centaur Noir and Short Horn and formerly of the awesome Meth and Goats talks to Erik and Dan about his involvement over the years playing in bands, booking shows and overall being a swell gentlemen in the local Iowa punk rock music scene. We also discuss production/mixing techniques with Centaur Noir, as well as his history as a visual artist/film/video maker. We also talk about his purchasing of trains, soda gums, crazy bread and all kinds of other craziness.

Dan and Erik change their names to Derrick and Ian and talk with Mollie from Closet Witch about her vocal strategy for both of her vocal styles, her history in the music scene, lyric writing, the origin of Closet Witch, TV cats and roosters and much more. She also joins in conversations that we have about what it means to be an Erik, cheesy horror movies and all kinds of other fun!!! Tune in for a fun interview/conversation!!!

Dan and Erik discuss records from local musician and friend of the show Brian Barr as well as Portishead, Unwound, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and The Streets.

Dan and Erik have a conversation and interview Cory Peak about the history of Sassbologna Records, current projects he is working on, a brief update on Closet Witch, his sampling and production techniques, his love of the outdoors and mushrooms, what he thinks about diy culture in general if it's more accepting of things that were once thought of as "too weird" or different and more. We also try to get Cory to go on a tangent, Dan makes a joke that absolutely fails and Erik asks Cory way better questions than Dan!!! 

The episode begins by Dan taking a fresh breath of air only to evolve into conversations about the band Air, Steve Harvey and Wayne's World (which Erik makes a surprising confession about). Then we actually talk about records by the likes of Vile Creature, Human Impact, Lee Moses, Tyler The Creator and we review a new local gem from the Quad Cities own Centaur Noir!!! Tune in for the meaning of life!!!
