Tales from the Pit

On this episode we talk to our friend Evan. He enjoys 90s dance music, riding in sad cars, U2 and most importantly a little band called Jimmy Eat World. He shares his stories of traveling near and far (mostly far) to see said band. For most of us, traveling to see bands is a adventure all on its own. For Evan, that adventure is slightly more complicated due to him having Cerebral Palsy. CP may have made being in the pit slightly challenging, but that never stopped him from enjoying what he loves most: listening to live music and ROCKIN OUT. To quote Evan, "the greatest gift you can give someone with disablity is that feeling of, 'I can do whatever the fuck I wanna do.'" Listen and find out what the quote truly means.

On this episode, our friend Dan takes us back in time through the wonderful world of the NYC hardcore scene in the mid-to-late 90s. The trip includes, but is not limited to, how Staten Island became populated, the madness that ‘was’ St Mark’s, proof that Coney Island High was a school for learning how to survive in less than stellar conditions, and that there is nothing better than a bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.
