This episode the conversational waters ran overhand were so good that I had to cleave the baby in two. My old friend and bandmate Spen Syndrome (The Shivering/Bullets In/Stockholm Syndrome) drops in the stream to celebrate the majesty of Lay Yr'self Aside. Then Conner Habib, from the deeply esoteric and undeniably human  Against Everyone podcast and author of Hawk Mountain beams in from Ireland to drop some serious mystic science on us. Take with water.

This episode Robbie Judkins (Left Hand Cuts Off The Right/Radio Host) and I plumb the depths of the mystery that is Hear The Children Sing. Check out his special radio show on Lungfish fans called Feral Hymns on mix cloud!

On today's show, my sole guest, Glenn Donaldson( The Reds, Pinks, and Purples), and I discuss the labyrinth that is Fearfully and Wonderfully, as well as Glenn's love for all things Lungfish. 

This world is a strange place to say the least. On this episode Greg Polard (Where It Went, Something To Du) and I rap rhapsodic about the track This World. After that, we present part two of my conversation with Joe Lally (Fugazi, Messthetics). Lots of mystery and magic to be had for all!

This episode is the opening of the door on one of, if not the, towering masterpiece albums of the band's catalog. Love is love, indeed. Join me and Scott Sheridan as we turn over the multi-faceted jewel of a first track on the album of the same name. Later in the show Joe Lally (Fugazi/Messthetics) joins the conversation/congregation. Shows like this one are why I love about doing this work.

With this episode,  we come to the end of the first official Lungfish album on Dischord. A song that foreshadows much of what's to come for this project. Yah Soon joins me once again to wade into the deep end of this track. Then Patrick Kindlon (Drug Church/Self Defense Family) joins us to continue our discussion about Higg's seemingly effortless command of language, Ray Cappo and many philosophical threads in between....

Beware! You are about to enter into a stream of conversation about perhaps one of the heaviest, deepest and darkest of early Lungfish tracks. By all accounts, their first epic composition. Dan Shaw, of the band Landowner, returns to take this beast on and try and make sense of the mental carnage this song delivers. Then  author/comic book writer/musician/podcaster Patrick Kindlon (Drug Church/Self Defense Family) joins me to plumb the depths of Lungfish obsession. I admit I'm afraid,....
