A freeform conversation during a thunderstorm.

As the rain falls, we talk about our ongoing recording sessions for the new album, re-examine our opinion of Buc-ee's, reminisce about Two Pesos (and how much better it was than Taco Cabana), heap praise upon H-E-B and Whataburger, and indulge in a bit of nerdy gear talk.

Why are people fired from bands? Some personal anecdotes may offer a few clues.

SlapperCast usually comes out on Tuesday, but we're releasing this episode a bit early so that we may join the rest of the music industry in observing #BlackoutTuesday, a day of silence on social media to provoke accountability and change. Please stay safe. #TheShowMustBePaused

Bars are reopening and things are getting weird. This week we talk about the safety precautions bar owners have implemented, and the flak they're taking from customers as a result. Also: bands that would benefit from better singers, overcoming nervousness on stage, the importance of good stage banter: how much is too little, when it does become too much, and should it ever be scripted or rehearsed?

This week on #SlapperCast, we talk about why band members sometimes quit after decades (Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick), and the odd situations where they don't quit even when they can't stand each other (The Ramones). Also: surprisingly good solo careers, belated appreciation for Duran Duran and Power Station, and a very loud bird.

This is an unusually low-fi episode of SlapperCast, recorded remotely with Zoom because Chad was feeling a little under the weather. Apologies for the crap sound quality.
