Two years in the making...Jeff finally talked Karl from KOOK into recording...in person (a first). Jeff has been hesitant about self-promotion from the beginning...but here we are...he's in a band with Karl and they make music together and have thoughts about it. We talked about the writing process for the next KOOK record, dipping back into roots rock but making it weird, loving Michael Shenker and Alex Lifeson, recording with Jack Endino...his long-time relationship with Mitch French from Dear Deceased, Operator Generator, Burn Thee Insects, and Lazer Beam. We reminisced about the stoner scene in San Jose, and also other stuff. This one speaks for itself. If you've been listening since the beginning you'll hear some familiar stuff from the source. Operator Generator. Sleep. Fireface. High on Fire. Stoner Steve. We went to all of those places.

We have something different this week. We attended our first music festival in over two years, and hung out with the fine gentlemen in Moon Tooth!!! It was weird and glorious...so we decided to record on the way (and back) in the car. We listened to all the bands on the undercard and gave our two cents...most we had never listened to before. Because we recorded in the car...the quality is not quite our usual...especially for the first 30 seconds or so...but HANG IN THERE...it gets better. We did our best to tone down the road noise...but ultimately we were in a car going 70 miles an hour recording on iPhones with lav mics. Get our pre-show thoughts in the first half, and then an event recap in the second half!

Great people watching, some good and bad music...a bonus hardcore show in a tiny venue, and good times were had. Shortly after we got there we heard one person in front of us say "I saw Good Charlotte when I was 13 and that shit changed my life". That pretty much sums up Swanfest we'd say!

Here's a playlist of the bands we listened to in the order we listened...pause at the sweet guitar solo between each discussion and listen along if you like...for most we sampled the first couple "most popular" tracks on Spotify. Join us...it's fun!!!

We have quite a treat today...all the way from Cardiff Wales, it's Jessica Ball, MWWB's singer and guitar player. We talked about growing up in South Africa and moving back to Wales, studying jazz guitar, how the band was formed, how they got such a cheeky name, and dealing with guitar player Paul's serious health issues. We got some dirt on her other band Eye, and listened to a spectacular set of submissions.

He's back! Another round of wild stories, a new segment we'll call "old high school photos with Andy", a Reverse Punisher(TM), a discussion about what NOT to do at soundcheck when you're opening for Sleep, and an absolute boatload of music, including music from Venezuelan band zeta who's van was robbed in San Francisco just days ago...support all the bands you like! Oh, and we're pretty sure this episode is proof that the simulation is real.

He's back! Max joined us again from frosty Sweden to talk about the Northern Lights, not having to work for a few weeks, making a text-based adventure game, whether Ikea is legit, he other band (besides Cavern Deep) Karmanjaka, records, instruments, beer, and who knows what else (you will, once you listen).

Plus you fine folks will be the first people to listen to a big chunk of a song of Cavern Deep's yet-to-b-released second album featuring vocals from Susie McMullen from Brume! It's so damn good.

Adult human stuff happened, but now it's podcast time again (we explain right at the beginning)! This week's guest was a long time coming...the final member of Brume, Drummer Jordan Perkins Lewis. Jordan is a fantastic drummer with crazy eclectic musical taste, a wild upbringing among the blue-collar workers in the movie business, and a badass job producing videos, TV content, and working the scoreboard graphics for the San Francisco Giants. He's also not shy with his opinions, as you will quickly discover. We listened to some really cool submissions, but Jordan was up for more so we also dug through the "what are people buying right now" ticker and some of the top seller charts too!

And now for something completely different. Jeff is a regular consumer of dorky music theory content and weird boomer guitar videos on YouTube. JD is not. Jeff was quite sure JD would hate all of it, and he was right...kinda. Watch JD learn what polyrhythms are in real time...it's fun. Plus we tackle boomer bends, Rick Beato, the mystery that is YouTube's obsession with the Polyphia song GOAT, and much more.

She came up on the last episode while we were talking to Mike Scheidt, we love Eight Bells, and they have a new album releasing called Legacy of Ruin on February 25th via Prophecy Productions, so we thought what better time have on vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Melynda Jackson, and she was awesome. Melynda is one of the long list of stalwart underground heavy musicians from the bay area who relocated to Portland to escape rising cost of living and decreasing opportunity...we talk about her beginnings as a musician, her long-running band SubArachnoid Space, growing up in a small town in Texas, cheating guitar center, the artwork for their killer new record (and the music itself), and cats. We also listened to some cool stuff. And to all the new subscribers post Mike Scheidt...welcome aboard!

Nothing really needs to be said here. Mike graced us with over 3 hours of his time to tell stories, laugh, listen to music,  discuss the stonerrock.com forums, and talk about the almost incomprehensible ascendance of Yob to the metal pantheon. Our main takeaway after talking with Mike? This is a great guy who simply loves music. Also, the discussion of his new classical composition is awesome. Yob's got 4 shows at Saint Vitus in February followed by a west coast tour in March...go see them if you can!

First they submitted music, then they sent us records, then we picked them as part of our best of 2021...ladies and Gentlemen...Dumb Waiter. The most confusing thing to come out of Virginia since (insert clever history joke here). Dolly Pardon. Understanding Bungle late in life. Heavy music in Virgina. Not fitting in with other bands. Screenprinting and weird music videos. Also death to Spotify, Bandcamp FOREVER!!!!
