Never Was Podcast

Not a lot of business to address this week but suffice it to say: A Few Good Men might be worth a rewatch - or maybe a remake? Think: an updated version, with what they’re telling us is “heroic” these days. Whole different movie!

Larry Norman’s Only Visiting This Planet and In Another Land made some appearances - largely taken from the Larry Norman page on youtube - get in there, there’s so much more to tell! I’ve never met her, but I’m around :) This is where I heard the post on this show. I better not find out anyone I know is being mean or SO HELP ME Never met David Nihil either but I’ll bet he’s nice fella  And last but not least: Mike Rimmer’s interview from 2005 with Larry Norman is so apropos of the times it feels hacky. You really should check it out! Thank you Billy Power, Matt Wilbur, Matt Kelly and the lovely Fifi.  Be good.  Kindess is cool

Greetings! Wait, whaaaaa? Just in time for the much-celebrated Twenty-SIX year anniversary of MxPX! Okay, so... obviously this is actually part deux of an episode we started last year, acknowledging 25 years of Left Coast Punk Rawk from the Bremertonians, which, though by a very circuitous route, I am happy to say is finally happening. Life is complicated - but you already knew that! Please, enjoy the conclusion to my conversation with these fellas, it was hard-fought and hopefully... won. I sincerely hope to be back with you soon. Let's ROCK! Please visit these links and pass it on: http://www.mxpx.com https://www.facebook.com/MxPxPx/ https://www.silvercity.beer

Greetings! Back from the... nearly dead? Nope, just the very busy. Months ago I was able to talk to each member of the now-legendary Bremerton, WA punk rock trio MxPx and somewhere along the way the world got a little crazier than usual. I contemplated updating the intro to this episode but decided NOPE - we're gonna take advantage of this window and GO! My very special thanks to those of you who've waited and waited and waited and still kept the love coming. At some point I will find a way to reward your patience and patronage, until then... why don't we just hang out with Tom, Mike and Yuri? Sounds good to me... enjoy! Part 2 just around the corner...

Greetings! We're back again and we brought a friend! Five Iron Frenzy's very own Reese Roper is here y'all. We talk about the beginning, the end, the afterlife and... poop. Oh and, dearest Never Wases: Basic tracks for Stavesacre's upcoming album - made possible largely by YOU - are DONE. What does that have to do with podcasts? Well, as it turns out quite a lot. Guess you just have to find out... inside. Enjoy!

Greetings! After a long break it's great to be back... and we hope you feel the same! This week we're gonna talk about Us. Us and Them. And some other stuff. Rhymes with Small o'Ticks. Ultimately, we're gonna talk about what is real - and we'll even provide links! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and... Peace on Earth, Good will toward humans.

Greetings! Best remedy for a long overdue show? How about a long show?! That's right, Never Wases... got an hour and a half of pure aural bliss: Tonight we go back... WAY back. Like decades back. We are going to talk with a bonafide prodigy, the one and only Mr. Todd Stevens - aka, XL of XL and Death Before Dishonor. We're gonna talk afros, hot sauce, people in the trees and... how to keep a marriage together in spite of them all. (Hint: it involves Jesus) Happy to be back, happy to have your time and happy to have this baby wrapped up... Enjoy! Todd can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/todd.stevens.104?fref=ts You can find his music on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/xl-and-death-before-dishonor/id661806671

Greetings! We return to our (somewhat) regularly scheduled programming with a very, very special guest! Once Upon a Time, there was a Girl Named... Leanor Inez Ortega Till! Nobody here named Jeff. Nope. That's right, Leanor of Five Iron Frenzy and The Fast Feeling joins us this week. We'll have us a little chat about this & that & everything else, but mostly about being her own bad self and what that means today - and in the near future. Please: Enjoy!

Greetings! Ever found yourself in a debate with an intelligent atheist that left you walking with a slight limp? Any chance said debate was recorded for posterity, so that future generations may witness your demise for time immemorial? Well... you are not alone! This week we discuss my (potentially?) disastrous debate on Bad Christian Joey Svendsen's Pastor with No Answers Podcast, and the clobbering which ensued, with a couple amazing brothers: From Subversive Kingdom's Vox Podcast, Mike Erre and Andy Lara join us! We sort of walk back through the battlefield and see if we can learn a few things... who knows, maybe I'll sound smarter this time!? Enjoy! Link Central: For Mike Erre, Andy Lara and the entire Subversive Kingdom experience, please visit http://subversivekingdom.com (Go there, Never Wases - you won't be sorry. Something amazing is happening...)

Greetings! This week: as true a tale of Never Was as there Ever Was! Graphic Novelist and at least occasional Stavesacre artist (See both future and past versions of How to Live with a Curse!) Joshua Howard discusses the long and winding road to realizing his dreams... and what comes after. From art school drop out to Dead @ 17 Rebirth - there's quite a story to tell. And not a small amount of the 90's, Tooth & Nail Records and a tiny little town called Dallas, TX in the middle of it all. Enjoy!
