Episode 24 - Painted Light

Jason and I talk about the official soda of Unoriginal Vinyl, how projects happen, and a bunch of random memories (Jason remembers everything). 

Mike and I talk about Christmas music. Ok, so we also discussed Hangnail, fun shows, good times, and a bunch of other stuff. 

I answer your questions and recap some updates from the first 25 guests.

Conrad and I talk about the early Ghoti Hook days, his transition out of the band and what he is doing with the Fast God Stuff podcast!

Jake and Andrew jumped on the podcast to discuss their most recent 2 week tour, where the band started, Friend Club Records, and what the future holds. I've known these guys for a minute so it was a real fun conversation. 

Jamie and I dive into his time in the KC scene, working for Victory Records, touring with bands, the time I sent him a ton of demos in Facebook messenger, what he is up to with FCR and how great the Furnace Fest Community is. 

Rich and I talk all things late 90s-early 00s Christian pop punk. We discuss when we think we met, playing some shows together, their connection to Rufio and Slick Shoes, and how awesome their second album was. 

Derek and I catch up on the early 00s scene, From A Second Story Window history and dive into what he is doing in Japan with the idol scene.  IDOL UNDERWORLD (the site where I sell idol goods, including the goods of my idols I produce): http://www.idolunderworld.com  MIHO's IU Page:  http://www.idolunderworld.com/miho/ Here is Miho's first video for her song, DOUBT:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Cyndi was one of the first people I reached out to when I started the podcast. She started as a fan of Coheed and Cambria and became more involved in the community. Over time she became know as the All Mother (if you know, you know) and was a pivitol part of the online Coheed community. With the help of some friends she started the All Things Coheed podcast (amazing, check it out). She is now the Product Manager at Evil Ink Comics and it is such a great story how she was a fan for years and ended up in the role. 

Luke and I go back 20+ years. We sat down to talk about the processes behind building and growing a band, touring, recording, replacing band members, and more. We talked about how the processes changed over the last two decades and how familiar faces seem to always come back around in places you don't expect them.
