Xennial Files

In this episode Sam Sinister and Jonny Dictator discuss their favorite crushes from the 80s and 90’s while also ADDing their way through various topics like Fresh Air, playing w/ drummers who weren’t really drummers, determining whether or not “beater” is a proper term for a A-style tank, waxing intellectual about Alien vs. Terminator, art flicks and David Lynch movies, and whatever else we decide to discuss. It’s wholesome fun for the whole dysfunctional family! *** (songs used in this episode: The Bittering Hops - “I Don’t Know What I Like” {found on the newly released Ramonescore Brigade Volume II,} Johnie3 - “Alyssa Milano,” Proton Packs - “Continuum,” and The Feels - “She’s Probably Not Thinkin’ of Me.)

Hope you missed us cuz we’re back by unpopular demand!!! Sam and Jonny Doinitall spend this episode catching up on the past two months. Sam finally getting the Covid, we have ourselves a quick geography lesson, Jon talks about his label at nauseam, they share aspects into their personal lives, thoughts on phonebook ripping performance art, and they play a fun game: What Does Our Penises Look Like? ***[ending is: Plaid Disasters - “Pit Destroyer” (from This is Just a Record Label: Rust Belt Hardcore” available at thisisjustarecordlabel.bandcamp.com )]

In this episode we go back to our usual format of being absolutely insane and we tackle topics such as movie/TV reboots, rating systems for movies, more conversation about porn, Jon’s lack of witty surnames recently, trying different ideas moving forward, a new hip hop name for one of us, and a joke by Jon so bad that he couldn’t repeat it on air. Sit back and enjoy the asinine humor on Xennial Files! *** (songs included are The Radio Buzzkills - “Figure Skate or Die” and The Runs - “This is Why People Don’t Like You.” Used w/ permission.) ***

Sam and Jon’s continuation of their conversation about Cleveland’s venue Now That’s Class that has closed but is reopening under the name No Class. They also talk about dumb stuff as usual, so don’t you worry your pretty little head! Sam plays more music and Jon offers up his opinion about the Cleveland scene from an outsider’s perspective. This is another fun episode so hope you enjoy! Or don’t, we don’t care.

Along w/ technical problems, Xennial Files return w/ Sam Sinister and Jonny the Disco King. The two pay homage to longtime Cleveland venue, Now That’s Class, which will be closing, along w/ some history and playing of some bands that have been featured there. They also tackle the Devolution of Devo, how Sam likes to do bad things to Sims, how Jonny got his surname for this episode, the typical poop conversation, and so much more. So tune in and be mildly entertained w/ Xennial Files! *(ending track: “Cleveland’s Gotta Burn” by Jacknife Powerbombs)*

On the first episode of 2022 Sam and Jon decide to poo poo on the worst songs of the 90s like two old men airing their grievances. It’s fun, educational, and annoying at the same time, just like normal but this time there’s the added bonus of abject criticism as the cherry on top. Enjoy at your own risk, cuz this time it’s personal! *** (song snippets used with careless abandon.) ***

On this episode Samuel De La Sinister and Jonny Yuletide talk about a plethora of subject ranging from staying 40 forever, our love of Moira Rose, why Jon doesn’t drink alcohol much, our favorite Christmas movies, and Sam revisiting Snoop Dogg’s “Doggystyle.” We also chat about saying words wrong, why Jon doesn’t consider nu-metal a dirty word, 80s hip hop and pop connection of Salt ‘N Peppa and Kid ‘N Play, and so much more. *** (music provided in this episode include: Gatlin - “Let Go,” Modern Angst - “Mass Hysteria,” One if By Land - “True Blue, Through, and Everything About You,” RATH and the Wise Guys - “21 Years,” and a 90s throwback track for you all to enjoy!)

Sam and Jonny Heartburn talk about the visit to Cleveland and all the fun stuff they did together: eating pasta, going to a toy store, playing Cards Against Humanity, Thrift Storing, and eating brunch and drinking Mimosas like two 22 year old bitches. We also chat about Jon and his wife’s ordeal with their hotel room, and other stuff that chapped his ass. It was a fun trip that was almost 2 years in the making, enjoy us reminiscing! *** featured song: Dave Rocket and the Jobbers - “Hey Yo!” (used w/ permission from Faster and Louder Records) ***

Sam and Jon use this episode as a way to pregame for a visit by the latter up to Cleveland over the weekend, after almost two years of not seeing one another. And boy do they use that time wisely: going through Facebook Event pages for the local shows, complaining about non-syncing traffic, how our last episode literally made Sam’s fiancé gag, what’s up with that shitty commercial featuring Alexis from Schitt’s Creek, an invasion of Finches, and so much more. (There’s some sound glitches towards the end of the episode, but ya know, it be like that sometimes!) *** Also this episode features kickass music from Cleveland’s own Jacknife Powerbombs and Hellaphant, an awesome Toronto, Canada punk rock band. Enjoy the soothing sounds folks! ***

On this episode Sam and Jon get into the holiday spirit and discuss scary topics like shitting oneself and the mystery of ghost poops, watching horror movies, how Jon is the fat one now, the always fun pandemic talk, a particular Nickelodeon game show, how we continue to lose focus, and much, more more. *** featured track is Children of October - “Zodiac” ***
