"In Search of Tracks"

Another one from the vaults. This episode features my buddies Pete Hilton (Down in Flames/Kamikaze) and Bob Shedd (Axe to Grind) from the greatly missed In Search of Tracks podcast. This is a long but very fun conversation. This is part 2 of 2.

"Chris Worm"

This is one from the vaults. Prior to me losing access to my original server, I had a TON of episode and this is one of the earliest.

I've known Chris since 1990(?) from my days with Crunchface Fanzine and his time in Ringworm, but more importantly, Windpipe. Windpipe are far and away my favorite Cleveland hardcore band inspite of their low profile as it relates to their short life and the fact that they never had a proper release. There IS a 7" out there and I'm glad it exists, but it doesn't properly represent how much they truly ripped. In any case, I've been meaning to report this one for a minute and here it is...Again, it is a really early episode so the sound quality might be a bit rough.

"The Newest Drinking Game; 'Saying Dumb' "

Wanna hear three men of a certain vintage have an in depth discussion about a nearly 40 year old record? Wanna hear the word "dumb" repeated ad nauseum because someone doesn't use his Roget's Thesaurus? Well, now is your chance!!!

Rich, Will and I have a sprited discussion about a the controversial second album "Retaliation" by Carnivore.

"Cold Comfort"

Rich, Will and I sat down and talked about the music (old and new) that has helped us cope with our existence within this nightmarish hellscape. Buckle up! We go all over the place on this one!

"Cat Stevens was wrong"

Another year, another 'Best Of' episode. I'm joined by a few of my friends with their thoughts on what music they've enjoyed in 2025.

"Lon Chaney Jr. vs. Blaine Cook"

Rich and I finally sat down for another deep dive. This time I went with an old favorite. Much has been made of the term "crossover" since the term was coined in the mid-1980s. If there was a band that expresses all the the essential feature of the "genre"(?), it would have to be The Accused. Their 3rd album, "Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told" may have arguably been their best and most well known record. In any case, it is a record that deserves a closer look.

If you're interested, Episode 68 features my interview with The Accused's vocalist, Blaine Cook. You can find that in the feed.

"Ride Like the Wind: The Teddy Riley Story"

Mark Miller is a talented photographer, one of the co-hosts of the long running Nickel City Soundtrack Podcast, as well as the vocalist for the Buffalo based hardcore band Hold Out. This episode is a LONG one, but if one of the more fun conversations I've had on this podcast. We go all over the place with this one!!!

"The Return of the Chicha Vampire Macbre Hustlers"

Silas Hite is an Emmy winning composer that has scored dozens of films and television shows. He recently released and album of Chicha inspired music with his artistic collaborator Derel Zimmerman called "Chicha Macabre". This collaboration has recorded a second soon to be released album called "The Return of the Vampire Hustlers". Silas and I had a fun and rambling conversation that covers a lot of ground, not the least of which how he got started scoring film and TV projects.
