February 21, 2022 Ep. 211 Chris Carlone (Borts Minorts)
Our guest this episode is Chris Carlone, a musician/artist and creative juggernaut who has been creating for decades. Chris performs as Borts Minorts, described as accurately as possessing "musical concepts of The Residents with the spirit and over the top showmanship of rock legends like David Lee Roth and Iggy Pop". Borts has a new release out! A collaborative EP with friend of Couch Riffs Timo Ellis (Netherlands/Hug Victim) and video content to drive it home. Please do go check this out. It is highly entertaining high art. I hope you enjoy this conversation and Borts Minorts' music!

February 14, 2022 Ep. 210 Phil Hurley (Gigolo Aunts/Tracy Bonham)
Our guest this episode is our longtime friend Phil Hurley. Phil spent some time in Seattle where we met before moving a couple times and finally landing in Austin TX for the last 13 years, which is very fitting considering what a talented guitarist and songwriter he is. After years of being a sideman and band guy Phil has started performing his music as The Phil Hurley Band and we should be getting an album of music from him in 2022! We'll be looking forward to this! I hope you enjoy this conversation. Phil is awesome.
