Comfort Monk

“I almost drove my car into Mitch’s house, not out of shock, but hours later… as an act of vengeance.” – Actors/Comedians/Musicians/Writers Paul Rust & Michael Cassady join our dual guest-hosting team of Brett and Henry to talk about their ongoing weekly songwriting show with DSOWD.

“There are these sentences that tear themselves out of these books… they keep themselves stuck in my mind” – Avant-garde composer and lute player, Jozef van Wissem talks with Eddie about letters from nuns, the resurgence in lute playing, and noise bands. His newest record “Ex Mortis” is out now on Consouling Sounds!

“Because we were on the same wavelength, sometimes things happened all at once…” The Columbia Beat’s Mike Jones hosts post-punk/new wave artist Vanessa Briscoe Hay!

“The classroom was a stifling thing, you have to raise your hand to speak, why are we not just fluidly talking about these things?” Junior Astronomer Terrence Richard talks to Dylan and a few unplanned guests make appearances.

James talks with Dylan about his early influences when he was playing with Weston, all the way through to the anthemic power pop of Beach Slang and the piano and strings of Quiet Slang. The Deadbeat Bang of Heartbreak City is out now on Bridge 9 Records (featuring our very first guest Tommy Stinson)!

Marissa and Eddie discuss supergroups, Motel Sixes, and what the sudden halt in touring this year means to someone who’s spent most of their adult life playing live music. Keep an eye out: Screaming Females is releasing a special limited run edition of Chalk Tape for the first time on vinyl!

Bo White has fronted more bands and produced more records than could ever be neatly chronicled, but here he gives Dylan a tour through some of his varied career highlights and gives an insight into why he makes art the way he does. Patois Counselors’ new record The Optimal Seat is out now on Ever/Never!

Sam was kind enough to make the insanely cool album art for our new compilation, Gratitude Vol. 2! He tells Dylan about his career path, and how happening upon mini-comics gave him the artistic outlet he’d been looking for, before becoming a story board artist for Cartoon Network.

Guest host John Furr – local legend, podcast host (Cola Town Underground), musician (Grand Republic, E.Z. Shakes) – interviews Sean Eden of highly influential NYC indie rockers Luna. Also, make sure to catch Eddie and Dylan on Colatown Underground where we talk about Comfort Monk over beers!
