A short chat with East German afficionado Ryan Leach! Ryan's been trying to keep the underground spirit alive from Austin, TX with his Spacecase Records (and books) and Bored Out magazine. Spacecase has released a slew of Memphis records lately, but has also released records from Los Angeles and New Zealand, among other places. We talk about the increasing difficulty of releasing records in 2024, as well as the changing landscape in general for independent bands.

Finally! A talk recorded with Joe Chamandy in September, 2023 about Gonerfest, his band Th' Retail SImps, and current releases on his label Celluloid Lunch. Questions of "Why even try" and "What are you trying to do" are addressed. Informative and entertaining chat.

Eric talks to Scott Soriano of Record Time Magazine.
