I may pop in now and again (like when you go back and visit your friends at your old job) but moving forward the show is in the very able hands of Bryan. It's time.

I love doing this show because sometimes I get to organically get to know someone who happens to be a fantastic musician. Score. Today we hear all about Andrew Colosimo, eastern Pennsylvania's diamond in the rough. Andrew used to front Sheep And The Shears which just at the height of momentum...didn't. Andrew moved along with life but quietly floated below the radar while building his new project called Kinzua. I can't say enough but I'll say that if I played the "Best Of The Year list game" I think this would make my cut. So proud of my fellow snarkastic friend, Andrew.

If you know this show then you probably know that Bryan and I are Braid fans. (That's Bob singing the theme song at the end.) Well back on April 7th, 1998 Braid had an album released on Polyvinyl Records called "Frame And Canvas". This is an important album to me and quite a few people, seeing on how this makes the top indie/emo albums of all time list again and again. I was able to assemble all four members of Braid, their roadie Bicks, Matt Lunsford (head of Polyvinyl) and J Robbins of Jawbox (produced and mixed) all together under one podcast roof to discuss this album. I hope you enjoy this. And again, this would not have been glued together without the wizardry of Bryan Patton. Thanks to everyone involved. If you like this, hang in there.

Josh started a label called Fear And The Void Records and a PR company called CVRSED BREVTH (I can't figure out how to flip my "v" over but you get it.)

He mentions a lot of bands he is involved with but he sent me a clip for the band Deathcrawl on his label. This guy has a lot going on; just start clicking links. Always been a friend of the show, and quite frankly he is someone who is twelve years younger than me whom I respect and look to for inspiration. (Ok lemme explain the bathroom thing...no.
