27 FEB 2017 · Brandon and Sarah are puppy sitting again. Hear Brandon narrate the experience of stepping in pee while trying to give various updates and praise for the film Arrival. We also discuss the stigma around cover bands in the independent music scene. Then Bad Apple artist Bethany Pedigo brings us an interview with her friend Aimee Congdon of Band Zazzy. Aimee will be performing some guest vocals on Bethany's upcoming debut LP, but her band has been performing pretty heavily in and around Bowling Green, KY for the last year or so. Starting out as a cover band, they are also starting to work on their first round of original material...

6 FEB 2017 · On the way home, this car hears our confessions... Sorry, bad 2000 era Dashboard joke. Also sorry for the background noise. We recorded this one in the car heading back from a Super Bowl party, and we need a new muffler in the Nissan. The Atlanta Falcons made Super Bowl History in the first ever Super Bowl overtime game, but they ultimately came up short in the end despite their huge lead throughout most of the game. Sarah accuses Brandon of pretending to care. We also talk about the joys of puppy sitting. No one knows who Amber Rollins is. Brandon needed moral support. Alexander wants you to have fun. Also, Sempervivi's Derek Price will serve as our first roving reporter with a series of interviews starting next week. Ra-Ra-Ooh-la-la...

30 JAN 2017 · DEAR GOD THE HEAVY BREATHING IS BACK! To be fair, Brandon was washing pots and pans and getting ready to cook hot wings for his Royal Rumble party while recording this week's intro. Let's look back to last December's tour and our adventures changing a tire between Chicago and Paducah, where we made a stop at our favorite little watering hole... Dry Ground Brewing! Making it more fun, it was Repeal Day! As in "repeal prohibition" (although Brandon mistakenly calls it Prohibition Day in the intro... which is quite the opposite idea altogether). We sit around the fire after the show with Andy and Tyler from Why They Came, Derek from Sempervivi, Brandon from All Around the Dinner Table, Josh Lott (longtime friend and former drummer of Stellar Kin), and Cory Greene from Dry Ground Brewing. It was lit. Not us, the fire. Ok, most of us were lit too. Tyler might have fallen asleep once or twice. But it was a lot of fun!

23 JAN 2017 · Sarah is pissed about the Packers losing to the Falcons. Not to mention she nearly gave herself a concussion walking into a "Free WiFi" sign at the park. Plus hear another interview from the road while on tour last month! Brandon and Derek interview our new friends from JPUSA in Chicago. After a killer house show, we interview Justin Filizola (Leper, The Ghost Servant), his wife Megan (who grew up at JPUSA), and Teel Short (who was kind enough to share a song with us). This was certainly our first interview over a live game of scrabble, but it was a lot of fun! Learn what JPUSA is all about, what they do to serve the city of Chicago, what happened to the Cornerstone Music Festival and how AudioFeed is now filling the void (though unaffiliated with JPUSA officially).
