the Book Of Very Very Bad Things Podzine - a 3:33 A.M. Studios Production

Happy Native American Heritage Day, and welcome to the party! We have an incredible one for this phenomenal day to be alive!

I give you Matt Rosa. An expert in the financial marketing industry and entrepreneur, Matt built his empire from a place of abject poverty. Quitting school in order to fend for his siblings, Matt held jobs from fast food to massage therapy, with a bevy of vocations in between.

Tiring of generating wealth for corporations with nothing but a scant pay check to show for it, he struck out with his business partner, taking the marketing sphere by storm. In doing so, he'd forgone his first place of grace, Punk Rock... You see, that's the kernel I'd left unpopped. Matt grew up going to Punk shows, and playing guitar at home. You see, in order to build his dreams and accomplish financial independence, he'd forgone writing and performing. This is the itch gone unscratched. Well, no more.

Matt, with the help of The Early November wunderkind Ace Enders, he put together the album "Times Have Changed, And So Have I" in 2021. After having toured with the likes of The Early November and Vinnie Caruana (The MovieLife, I Am The Avalanche, Constant Elevation, Peace'd Out), Matt has redoubled his focus on creating melodic Pop Punk with a symphonic edge and a Motown flavored vocal delivery that is velvety smooth and deeply powerful.

You can check out his new single, "Trust Issues", available right now on all streaming platforms.

Jesse Townley has been a fixture in my music rotation since 1990, via Blatz. His musical output has continued to satisfy my itch for fast, socially conscious Hardcore, be it in Blatz, The Pathogens, The Gr’ups, The Frisk, The Criminals, or his most recent band and album, The Scene Killers “Beat Beat Beat”.

This was a thrilling look at his past musical endeavors, his Philadelphian beginnings writing a Zine and living in a West Philly squat, to his time with Lookout Records and Alternative Tentacles, to his political career, radio, and beyond.

This is a the definitive episode of the Fall season! Fred has a history in underground music that is as massive in scope as it is varied in station. Having been published in Vice, worked the Toyota/Scion Rock Fest, presented the absolutely incredible NOLA documentary for NOISEY... phew, lets backpedal. You see, Fred started out booking shows in NYC, bringing his favorite bands to town. he parlayed that into a career in journalism that led him to becoming Senior Editor of Brooklyn Vegan for 6 years.

  He'd had a brief stint as Editor In Chief (as well as DJ/Host) for Invisible Oranges. On to Noisey, where he'd also served as Editor in Chief for almost 3 years. On and on to Editor At Large/Director of Marketing at Revolver. He had then struck out on his own, as the Owner and Operator of Jackpot Plus Artist Services... Deep breath... The long lost, terribly missed, and deeply regarded CREEM Magazine came calling, and Boy Howdy, who would say no?!

Intro music "Martyrs" by Heart Out. Theme music by Gown.

  Tonight, I am honored to give you the record release episode for Ben Douglas and Joseph Lekkas' Palm Ghosts. 

 Palm Ghosts inhabit a rarified space within the alternative music landscape. They are a musical entity creating rich tapestries of Post Punk, New Romantic, and electro pop, all under a singular, cohesive banner. This is beyond mere influence. They have mined a spirit and style that is unmatched today. We are most humbled to have the distinction of offering a record release episode for this magnificent album!

  There is just ‘something’ about a musical project driven, solely, by two brothers. The bond of blood is a unique vessel to contain a shared mindset, aesthetic, and mission. Lennon and Christian Nichols have selected 5 songs from an arsenal of 70, offering the very best of their collaboration.
