A folk legend from Maine, Bill Stone recorded his lone LP masterpiece in 1970 entitled "Stone" at just the age of 19/20 with his friends and local talent from the community. Having been done wrong buy the label head, nothing new there, he decided to pursue other ventures in his life and relocated here in TN for awhile while attending Vanderbilt for his doctorate in the 80s before moving back to Maine. Stone never stopped playing music throughout the years and still jams to this day! It was a real pleasure speaking to the man behind such an extraordinary record in this short, but revealing and calm interview. Enjoy!

Witch are single handedly one of the most influential groups to come out of what is known as the Zamrock scene back in 1970s. A group that took Western influences like Deep Purple, The Led, Jimi Hendrix and completely ran with it making it their very own. It was a true honor and privilege to be able to speak with Emmanuel as this has been something we've been working on together for quite some time and I'm stoked to finally share this episode of the podcast. Enjoy! For info about the band you can follow the link below to see if they'll be playing in a city near you!

This was by far the most radical trip I've ever been on since I started the podcast. I've was familiar with The Source Family and Father Yod for years and was completely blown away when I finally had the opportunity to speak to one of the legendary guitarists from the family and group, Djin Aquarian. We traveled back time to explore his past present and future all in one cosmic dialogue that bumps it's head on stardust and brushes up against legendary spirits and their lost long majestic presence. Enjoy!

Jeffrey Pezzati is a Chicago legend to say the least! Having played in bands such as Naked Raygun, Big Black and The Bomb, Pezzati has laid down the groundwork and inspired so many bands and generations to come. It was a pleasure speaking to Pezzati about growing up with his brother Marko Pezzati, who played in Naked Raygun, briefly joining Big Black with the mighty Steve Albini and so much more. Enjoy!

I'll never forget the first time I really heard Mission Of Burma and where I was in life at that time. This is a band I find myself always going back to just like Nirvana. Completely original and incredibly talented individuals. MOB formed out of Boston in '79 and by the time the early 80's rolled around they had already disbanded. But they left an impact on the generations to come and its as clear as day who it is and where it came from. It was a pleasure speaking to Peter about his life growing up, when he began playing music, attending shows in the punk and hardcore scene and of course, playing drums in MOB. As of late, Prescott has another outfit called Minibeast who has recently released a new album. Enjoy!

Chris Corsano's drumming and general approach to his art is simply immeasurable. His influences are personal and are respectively explored, but Corsano has defined his on place in the 'code breaking', free-improve Matrix that he dwells. Groups such as Sun City Girls, Ruins, Boredoms, The Bishops and so many others led me to his work , as well as his own influences, over the years and even inspired and influenced my very own approach to music. It was wonderful speaking to Chris and getting to him, his background, where/how it all began, his divine methods and much more. Enjoy!

Norman Westberg participated in one of the most mind altering, soul crushing, yet gorgeous and serene, groups to emerge in the last 40 years. We know of so many bands that were influenced by Swans, so it was very humbling to hear what influenced Westberg and his approach to the music that he wanted to make during his multi decade participation in the group. A groundbreaking and unique guitarist, Westberg joined Swans after the release of their EP and the rest is well... History! It was an honor and privilege to speak to this legend as I've personally been a huge fan and admirer of his prolific body of work for some time now. It doesn't get any heavier than this. Enjoy!

Without a doubt, Fugazi was and still is, one of the most influential, original and groundbreaking groups to hit the scene in the late 80s and throughout the 90s/early 2000's. A super group of sorts to storm out of Dischord Records with their debut EP in '88, Fugazi went on to write and record some of the most powerful records until their indefinite breakup in 2003. It was a pleasure and honor speaking to Joe Lally about growing up, his relationship with music, becoming a musician, joining Fugazi and so much more! Lally is a rad and wonderfully nice guy and I'm totally stoked to share this. Enjoy!

Bob Bert was part of a stellar generation that got to see the likes of The Talking Heads, The Cramps, The Gun Club, Ramones, just to name a few, come up in the mid/late 70s New York. Bert witnessed some of the most influential bands, but also participated in some of the most influential bands of his generation. That being Sonic Youth in the early/mid 80's. I can honestly say without a shred of doubt, that Sonic Youth are one of my favorite groups, so the honor and privilege to speak to this legend was simply mind blowing! After Sonic Youth, Bert went on to participate in groups such as Pussy Galore, Bewitched, Chrome Cranks and Lydia Lunch. As of late, Bert has been in playing in Lydia Lunch Retrovirus and has recently written a novel! Enjoy!

Edward Colver is one of the most groundbreaking and essential photographers of the last 20th century. A self taught master of his craft, he has single handedly captured the hardcore/punk scene of the late mid/late 70s into the early/mid 80s. I don't think theres a single person out there thats not been in his viewfinder at some point in time. The list is out of control and I personally do not have enough characters to type them out. But I will mention, most notably, that he's responsible for the the cover of Black Flag's "Damage", Circle Jerks' "Group Sex" LP, and live photos/group shots/self-portraits of artists such as Andy Warhol, Bad Brains, Wasted Youth, Nick Cave, Ice Cube, RHCP and many many more. It was a true honor and privilege to speak to the legend. He has a new book out entitled "Christian Death: Only Theatre Of Pain", so make sure to grab a copy, or support him by purchasing a print from his website by following the link below. Enjoy!

If you’re a skateboarder then you know of Corey's incredible career that has spanned over the last 20 years. His style and grace on the board is as important as it is off the board. He gave his generation of skateboarding a true sense of fashion, culture and purpose. One of the many things I admire, and have for many years, about Corey is his youthful approach to virtually everything he does. It comes out in his personality and especially in his work. As of recently, Corey has launched his own skateboard brand called "Adored". It is his love-letter(s) to skateboarding and all things that inspire him. It was a true honor and privilege to speak with the Duff Man about skateboarding, music, life, cartoons and everything else in-between! Truly a sweet guy. Enjoy!

Salli Sachse is an American actress, model, photographer, painter from San Diego, CA that has had such a rich and impactful career that took place in the mid/late 60's. She has stared in films along side legends such as Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern and so many more! Salli shot photos of CSN&Y in the early days and became close friends with a lot of the music legends in the scene during that time. She even had a song written about her by Jackson Browne! I first became aware of Sachse and her work from the 1967 film "The Trip" that stared Peter Fonda and from then on out I was a fan! Sit back as Sachse takes us on a mystical journey through Laurel Canyon, abroad and dozens of other locations as we surf through her memory and legacy. Enjoy!
