In honor of Posse releasing their final record, they came to the studio to talk breaking up, making robots, and how Yo La Tango will keep a friendship alive.

For the past ten years, Gordon and Brad have been documenting and celebrating Seattle's pinball scene through their zine Skill Shot. On the eve of the 50th issue they came to the studios to talk zines, pinball, and Brad's fear of darts. Adam tells us about his new hobby.

Mita Mahato & Robyn Jordan stopped by the studio to talk about Short Run (only the best small press expo) as well as their own comics. Joseph dreams of Mexico and Danny freaks out about Cleveland's baseball fans.
Guerilla Toss makes energetic music that is as hard to define as it is enthralling to watch. Joseph and Danny packed up the studio and headed to the Black Lodge to interview the band. They talk about touring Europe, perfectionism in the studio, and their apathy towards internet lists.
The driving force behind Disruptor fanzine Lucas Reif came by the studio with Erica and Ian from Good Person Recordings. We talk fanzines, preparing for a European tour, and how being an official loser can get you $7,000.

The Intruder Comic Anthology is coming to a close and Max Clofelter and Mac Palm come on the show to self publishing, comics, and Chem Trails.
Casual Hex is known for their thick goth bass lines, and horror movie vocals, but when they came to the studio all they wanted to talk about was energy drinks, Dolly Parton, and jam sessions that ended in bloody instruments.
For the past several years the folks at Seattle’s Passive Aggressive have been documenting the heaviest and loudest bands in the city. When reading their work you see the thoughts and opinions of journalists and critics with a keen hear for bands that fall into one of the many subcategories of punk and metal, but when sitting in a room with them you they are just excited fans that like to gush over the bands they admire.
In between recording sessions for their new debut album, the four lovable lads from Newaxeyes dropped by the studio to talk about scoring the Alien movie, seeing a song of theirs used in a pornography film, and that one time they drunkenly collaborated with a (distant) member of the Wu-Tang Clan.
Gina Siciliano is a painter and drummer, but we don't talk about either of those things. Instead, we spend the podcast talking about her massive three part comic detailing the life of Artemisia Gentilesch, a 17th Century painter who's celebrate as much for her painting as her refusal to conform to gender standards of the time.
Lisa Prank climbs onto the stage, plugs in her guitar, fires up the old drum machine, and belts out the most charming pop punk we’ve ever heard.

Of all the places in this town to get a cup of coffee, Analog just might be the best. Stop by any given day and you’ll see some of Seattle’s best artists and musicians on either side of the counter. We interviewed Danny and Tim about how they ending up opening the coolest café around.
Guantanamo Baywatch plays down and dirty, reverb soaked rock and roll. They are always on tour and so busy they didn’t have time to swing by the studio. We dusted off our mobile gear and headed down to El Corazon to chat with them about their new album on Suicide Squeeze, dropping in on John Waters, and what to do when you learn the place you are crashing belongs to a racist.
We hope Mommy Long Legs enjoyed the interview because they can write some sassy, catchy, and sarcastic songs. We don’t want to be their next target. They stopped by the studio to talk about horoscopes, Halloween, hotel rooms, and Shrek. We talk a lot about Shrek.
Self publishers from all over the world flock to Seattle every year for the Short Run festival where they sell their zines, comics, and other printed works to eager fans. Festival organizers, Kelly and Eroyn, came by the studio to dish the dirt about Short Run and brag about their exclusive access to the best lattes in town.
Sarah (Local Sightings), Aiden (Cold Cube Press), and Marc (Intruder) come on the show to discuss Seattle’s comic scene, talk shit (for real) and to bandsplain Dragon Metal.
Myke Pelly is one of Seattle's best drummers (Footwork, Haunted Horses, Hints), but we barely talk about that stuff. Instead we discuss his movie podcast (VHS Wall), the entertainment of just watching trailers, and what sucked and didn't suck in Man of Steel.

You can’t find nicer dudes in Seattle than the guys in Ubu Roi. They also bring the riffs. Bridging punk rock and metal, these guys just want a place to plug in and less speeding tickets. Listen in as we talk about poop way too much and hear them hum their favorite riffs. Outro music by Cheap Clones.
This week Childbirth instructs Danny and Joseph on water picks, candy cigarette recipes, and tells listeners how to trick people into moving to your town.

It’s Wimps! The Seattle band with the longest pedigree you have never heard. They stopped by our studios and told some tour stories, (shit) talked about their (failed) rivalry with Posse, and explained their unexplainable popularity in France. We also get the behind the scenes on Seattle’s 2nd best podcast "Jokebot". And as always "Correspondence Corner", "Dollar For Drip", and "Turning the Tables".
This week Danny and Joseph are joined by Matt and Sam from Help Yourself Records (Chastity Belt, Wimps, Ubu Roi, Childbirth). They delve into the history of the label, EDM demo submissions, and their upcoming release from Sick Sad World. Plus sweatshorts, The Narx, and of course, "Dollar For Drip".
