Episode 319: A Beachside Chat with Reel Big Fish: Part 2

We are on the road again this week, in "beautiful" Hartford, Connecticut, continuing our conversation with Matt Appleton (Saxl Rose) and Johnny Christmas of Reel Big Fish! We pick up where we left off and learn the behind-the scenes of Matt's recording career, Johnny's entry into Reel Big Fish, Matt leaving Goldfinger, then Matt joining RBF! (and then joining Goldfinger again?) We talk about the current horn section and talk a lot about shelved recordings. A great talk with great dudes!

NOTE: Hartford is considerably less beachy than Westerly, RI.

Episode 318: A Beachside Chat with Reel Big Fish

We are on the road this week, in beautiful Westerly, Rhode Island, talking with Matt Appleton (SAxl Rose) and Johnny Christmas of Reel Big Fish! Chuck and I chat with the guys about their musical upbringing, the place of "recorders" in grade school, how they got into music, their instrumental backgrounds, some sweet news about the upcoming Goldfinger album, and other stories leading up to their union with Reel Big Fish!

We're joined this week by Senior Discount drummer Christian Staton! We talk about the behind-the-scenes of the original EP for S*D's "And That's Goodbye."

Episode 316: "Q The Laughs," Alien: Covenant, and Wonder Woman

Back to a (relatively) normal podcast this week! Chuck tells me about the project he's been working on with Q, Walt, and Bryan of "Tell 'Em Steve-Dave" and hints at another as-yet-unreleased project. Chuck and I talk - spoiler-free - about Alien: Covenant and I am shamed for my lack of love for the horror genre. We talk about a new sushi restaurant in Barrington, then about our experience watching the movie "Split." We talk about the 90's Pub Crawl/PVDFest, then we are joined by Gina so we can finish with a spoiler-free review of Wonder Woman. Bonus: we follow up with spoiler-FULL reviews of Wonder Woman and Alien: Covenant.

Episode 315: Our D&D Adventure Concludes!

We left off last week because our adventure was too big to be contained in one episode. The adventures of Chuck, Maksood, and I continue under the watchful eye of Game Master Matt Di Chiara. Will our adventure end in triumph or tragedy?!?
