The journey to the writhing heart of the cosmos begins here...
Or at least the soundtrack, thereof. This episode Drew, Scott Sheridan and myself talk about the CD that collects the first two Lungfish releases. To say I'm excited about this episode is a gross understatement. Spoiler alert ; Lungfish = Brian's favorite band. As with most CD episodes, Scott saves the day (and your ears), by bringing a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to our musings. Later on the show, Chris Richards from Q and not U (and great writer for the Washington Post, among others) chimes in with some rapid-fire insight and humor on the band and this release. Hop onboard and tune into the Broadcast....

This episode Drew and I examine a release that perhaps has fallen between the cracks of history, Dischord's first 10" and Autoclave's second record. I think this is an ep everyone interested in 90s Dischord needs to hear. Later in the show I talk to Christina Billotte and Nikki Chapman from the band. Do yourself a favor and listen to this and then listen to them.

This episode is a milestone of sorts. On it, we discuss the first album by one of my all time favorite bands (of any genre). The almighty and mysterious Lungfish. Do yourselves a favor and go listen to the record (right after the episode)!

This episode we welcome Drew and Scott back to the table to help cover for Jeff's absence. They're two stand up (not comedian) guys. We discuss the Beefeater body of work and legacy, as well as talk to three of the founding members in hour three of the show. Strap in. Long live Fred "Freak" Smith!

So this is sadly Jeff's last episode before he goes on a "indefinite Hiatus". His voice will be missed, but his large spirit will still haunt the halls of the EOE studios. This episode we speak about Circus Lupus for the first time. Damn, this band was game changing for me and lots of folks. Fractured and feral, cerebral and bloody. Super Genius is one of the great Dischord debuts. Vocalist Chris Thomson stops by later in the show to fill in some of his musical history and share some stories of the formation of Circus Lupus. This is to be missed at your own peril. 

100 Episodes, who knew?! Not me, but it's been a fun and deeply rewarding journey thus far. Can't wit to see where we are by episode 200. On today's show we talk to Tim Green about 1991  : the year Ulysses went broke. Jeff and I wrestle with this odd duck of a release and come out the other side mostly unscathed. Tim is the perfect guest for our 100th, as he's been on the show the most, and is one of my favorite folks to virtually hang with. It was over 100 degrees during recording, so there are a few moments of  meltdown, both audio and host-wise. Hope you enjoy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening this far....

This episode we talk about a new band for the show, Desiderata, who put out this one record, was on a couple comps and released a demo. We celebrate the spirit and energy of this young band, and later in the show we had the pleasure of talking to vocalist Amanda MacKaye. We discuss this record, this band and then go down the rabbit hole on many subjects close to her large heart and fierce mind. This is one for the books!

This episode we talk about the 7' that ushered in what a lot of folks would call Jawbox's golden period. As usual, we find a way to talk about two tracks for two and a half hours. Vocalist/guitarist J Robbins joins us for the second half of the show to talk about these recordings and his thoughts on everything from songwriting inspirations to leather vests and Soundgarden. Buckle up, it's a rocking ride!

It's always fun to get to a new band in the Dischord roster. Today we talk about Autoclave's first record, a split with K. Unfortunately no guests this episode, but me and Jeff find plenty to say (surprise, surprise) about the second all woman band to release a record on Dischord. 

it's always a treat when we reach the Fugazi episodes. On today's show, we explore their second full length, Steady Diet Of Nothing. This is sometimes regarded as something of a dark horse in their catalog. We hope to have a hand in rectifying it's place in the canon. As you can see by the episode's length, we have a lot to say about this one. Friend of the show, Dr Drew Lichtenberg, drops by to weigh in on Guy's tracks on the album. Finally, we talk with bassist Joe Lally about the record and his philosophy of music and life. We'll meet you at the exit....
