100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Episode 199 - Let’s face it, clothing brands are a dime a dozen and it takes a lot in this day and age to do anything unique or eye catching but fortunately, this weeks guest does. Bo is an old friend that runs a clothing company called Das Bootleg which does amazing music/pop culture references that you have to see to believe. It’s basically a calling card to the world that you are into some cool stuff. Bo, like many other guests has his roots in punk/hardcore and uses the same principals in running his business and we discuss that, hockey and pressing the reset button. It’s a must listen for anyone striving for creative outlets but struggling as Bo turned his idea, into something special. - - Use our special promo code 100wordsorless on Das Bootleg for 20% off your order.

Steve was on one of my very first lists of guests that I wanted to have on the show because of my massive love for his drumming and bands he played in (Strongarm, Further Seems Forever, Shai Hulud). We discussed in depth, those early years of touring in Florida, his passion for video games and unconventional drumming. --Use our Amazon Affiliate Code to support the show!

I love when I get to type the guests name and don't have to put anything else. Allison Weiss is an absolute gem of a human being and a great musician to boot. We spent the afternoon discussing being practical, developing your identity and the confidence that comes with that.

This week is a doozy. Cameron Miller sings for a band called Seizures who will pummel your ear drums with their Botch-esque metal influenced hardcore but more importantly, he has a crazy life story. Cameron and I discuss depression, a harrowing life experience and practicing happiness. It's a very deep and compelling conversation that I urge you to check out. I am very appreciative to Cameron for wanting to express these feelings on the show. --Use ourAmazon Affiliate Code to support the show!

I am pleased to bring you another installment of the monthly "friendversation" series that will happen throughout 2016. This time I call up my friend Mike Minnick who you may know from Curl Up and Die, Puig Destroyer and his recent project, Less Art (which I forget in the intro like the true professional I am). We discuss the importance of live music, writing lyrics and a bunch of other stuff. Sit back, relax and enjoy. -- This weeks show is brought to you by Adam & Eve want to make your Valentines Day spectacular.

This sucks. I didn't think I would have to consider rebroadcasting any of these interviews that I have done over the course of the past few years but Jon Bunch passed away recently and I immediately thought this was appropriate to revisit the incredible conversation I had at Jon's house back in 2013. My thoughts go out to his family and everyone affected by this tremendous loss. He was one of my favorite vocalists of all time and we should all collectively thank his memory for his contributions to our little scene.

Foxing are a great band. Their new record Dealer made my top 10 list for 2015 so it only made sense to me that I get to know them a bit better. Josh Coll plays bass in the band (and contributes a portion of the lyrics as well) and we spoke one afternoon over Skype. It was a delightful discussion about coping with attention being paid to your band, the military and the Midwest. Please do enjoy. - - This weeks show is brought to you by Adam & Eve want to make your Valentines Day spectacular.

This is a definite left turn for the show, but something I needed to do. My grandfather, Roy Payne passed away last week. I've been entrenched in emotion, cleaning out his house and processing the loss. I had an interview I conducted with him back in 2011 about his 95 years on this planet and regardless of the lack of personal connection you may have with him, his story is universal. People of "the greatest generation" have stories that will blow your minds and I didn't want this to be something only my family shared. Please enjoy and as a "bonus" you can hear my son and I be goofy at the end of the podcast. Thanks for your well wishes and next week, we will be back to our regularly scheduled program.
