  • Ep. 42: Jefferson Angell (Walking Papers, The Missionary Position, Post Stardom Depression)

    My guest on this episode is the finely focused and driven Jefferson Angell, best known as the frontman of Walking Papers. As a 20 year friend and fan of Jeff's body of work it was a treat to have him as a guest. We riffed about more stuff than I can possibly recount and list here. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed having the conversation. I believe it is a record-length episode.

  • Ep. 39: Danny Bland (Author/Poet/Tour Manager and former bassist of The Dwarves and Best Kissers In The World)

    This episode's guest Danny Bland recently published his third book, We Shouldn't Be Doing This, a collection of his dark and unique haiku with a long list of contributions from his fancy friend guest photographers. This new release builds further upon his 2nd book, I Apologize In Advance For The Awful Things I'm Gonna Do, a collaborative collection of haiku and photography with his longtime friend Greg Dulli. Along with the 2013 novel/biographical fiction release, In Case We Die, he is building quite a body of work for a full-time road manager and retired punk bassist. (I'm pretty set on getting him to appear in a Couch Riffs video, however)
