I'm joined by David Zahl, returning YHP guest and editor-in-chief of Mockingbird's online magazine. David is also a massive Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fan like myself, so I knew he would be perfect to talk with about what we know about Brian Wilson's personal faith and spirituality. We also celebrate what his music has meant to us personally, playing a lot of song clips along the way. This is a dual-feed episode on both the You Have Permission and Pretty Good Vibrations feeds because the content feels like it fits in both places. Brian Wilson passed away on June 11th.

Although my attempt to have a strong line between the first half of the episode (more focused on his faith) and the second (mostly just focused on the music), things got a little blended up. Nonetheless, if you'd like to skip most of the faith/theology stuff, a good place to start listening is around the 60 min mark.

** Part 2 of 2 **

The Sex Pistols, Misfits, Clash, Ramones, Stooges, Damned, Black Flag & more... This is where it all began for punk rock, and this week I'm joined by returning guest Roman Honeycutt (Weezer episodes) and our old bandmate and dear friend Jon Hwong. We pit the top bands from this era against each other in another winner-take-all tournament; we also discuss the aesthetics and graphic design of punk rock, how our love for these bands has changed as we've gotten older, and tell some funny stories. Part 2 drops next week.

** This is a replay of an older episode, in anticipation of the upcoming 70s Punk & Proto-Punk Tournament **

Grab a 6-pack (or don’t if you’re Straight Edge) and get in the van! Your buddy’s copy of Book Your Own Fucking Life doesn’t have too many pages stuck together, and it looks like there’s just enough gas to get to Bakersfield for tonight’s basement show. Comedian Sam Tallent joins me as we pit songs by Black Flag, Bad Brains, Descendents, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, and more against each other in a winner-takes-the-only-clean-towel tournament. This music has played a massive role in Sam’s life, and this conversation contains both lots of laughter and some pretty heartfelt moments. Part 2 drops next week.

MxPx. Slick Shoes. Project 86. Plankeye. Craig's Brother. Dogwood. Starflyer 59.

Chances are good that these band names either 1) mean nothing at all to you, which makes you an average American, or 2) meant EVERYTHING to you for a few years of your life and probably still mean something. The rest of you have probably heard MxPx, but maybe nobody else on this list. For my longtime friend and guest Jon Havens and I, these bands meant pretty much everything to us at one point, and although we've moved on from most of them musically (not all of them!), listening back through the 90s catalog of Seattle Christian indie record label Tooth & Nail was the perfect excuse to revisit the years of our early friendship. We were Christian rock subculture kids, spending a lot of time at Evangelical youth group and swapping discs we got at Berean or Lifeway Christian Bookstore. And how did we not talk AT ALL about using rotary phone cords as wallet chains...? Listen as we pit 16 of these artists against each other in a bracket-style tournament.

**THIS IS PART 3**

Ben Bishop is back! This time, we bask in the glow of the FM radio dial as we pit 70s pop and rock superstars against each other. We're talking Bowie, Zeppelin, Jackson Browne, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Elton John...

Episodes will continue to come out during this hectic next year of my life, but not on a weekly basis. A '90s Tooth & Nail Records tournament has been recorded but not edited yet, and we'll see what else gets added to the queue... Thanks everyone for listening!

Two music-centric films. Two different generations. Both released in 1994, Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction call upon the same period of popular music but in distinctly different ways (with very different budgets). Michael Parker (Pickwick) and I try out a new episode format -- you could say we take it for a spin in a vintage Chevy while enjoying an overpriced milkshake -- where we pit the soundtracks against each other, track by track. We also talk about the films a bit. And we hear some GREAT songs.

Let me know if these are fun!

THE GLORIOUS FINAL CHAPTER.

* Also we talk about YouTube, but this episode is audio-only (and further episodes, most likely!) *

We went for it on this one. 45 bands. 5 parts.

Dashboard Confessional. Saves the Day. Paramore. Further Seems Forever. Anberlin. Brand New. Taking Back Sunday. Cursive. My Chemical Romance... and THIRTY-SIX other bands.

I am joined by returning guest Jeff Martin (This Day & Age) for the most ambitious and thorough tournament yet attempted on Pretty Good Vibrations. But here's the thing -- we keep things fairly breezy throughout and don't linger on any particular band tooooo long... If you lived through this era, then we almost definitely talked about most of your favorite bands.
