Thanks for this 👏🏼👏🏼💝✨

Hola chicos! Cómo están? Mí nombre es Leonardo y soy de Argentina, hace ya mucho tiempo quería escribirles primero para agradecerles por haber hecho esta maravillosa entrevista con Ronnie y con Roy ya que soy un fan de The Muffs desde toda mí vida (hoy cumplo 33 años) y lamentablemente no pude ir a ver a Kim, Ronnie y Roy a Niceto cuando ellos vinieron por primera y única vez a mí país en lo cual fue uno de sus mejores recitales, los esperé por prácticamente toda mí vida y por razones personales no pude estar allí lo cual sumado a el fallecimiento de Kim me hizo muy difícil volver escuchar a The Muffs porque simplemente dolía demasiado escuchar a mí banda favorita en todo el mundo sabiendo que nunca más iba a tener la oportunidad de verlos juntos en vivo y en directo. luego de un tiempo volví a escuchar sus canciones, ver sus videos y afortunadamente me encontré con esta entrevista que fue sanadora, volví a sonreír al pensar en Kim y al escuchar The Muffs y en parte es por este video y yo se los agradezco muchísimo, ojalá esté año en el cual se cumplen 30 años de el lanzamiento de Blonder And Blonder ustedes hagan otra entrevista porque es necesario, es una de las mejores bandas de Pop Punk que escuché en mí vida y el 30 aniversario de ese disco que tanto amo merece una entrevista a la altura y ustedes son definitivamente los indicados para hacerla porque saben de música y aman a y conocen a The Muffs tanto como nosotros, les hacen las preguntas que todos les haríamos y eso es único, sin más que agregar les dejo un abrazo grande de Argentina (hogar del mejor público del mundo) ❤

I have an older version of Third Rail plus the new colored vinyl. I might have the CD as well but now it seems the new black vinyl is a must have? Who does Matt Piucci think he is? Ace Frehley?

Huge fan, from Sao Paulo/Brazil. Played this record a lot on my radio shows in the 80's and 90's. Had the opportunity of seeing them twice in 2014, San Francisco. Met mr. Piucci on both occasions and he was very kind - since it was during the World Cup, we ended up talking about "football"; even though we knew nothing about the subject!

Battery Acid was formed in 1993 during the period of time that Mary's Danish were contractually bound to Morgan Creek Records, who refused to give them money for tour support or funds to go into the studio to record. While the band members were having to get day jobs and figure out others way of paying their rent until this contractual limbo was resolved, they each formed side projects as a way of staying musically active. David King and JBJ formed Rob Rule, Julie Ritter started a band called Lux (and later went solo) and Gretchen, Louis and Wag formed Battery Acid. Eventually, when Rob Rule was offered a recording contract by Mercury Records, the only way the band could get out of their Morgan Creek deal was to officially break up, and so that's why that happened. They didn't intend to stay apart forever, but needed to not regroup within a minimum period of time, which was probably like 1 to 2 years of the date of dissolution. Now after they broke up, all of their side projects started receiving a lot of attention, and like Rob Rule before them, Battery Acid was quickly signed up by DGC/Geffen Records, home to alternative powerhouses like Nirvana and Sonic Youth. They worked for quite awhile on their debut album (which was originally going to be titled "My Wish") and were about a month away from it's release when Geffen fired their A&R person, Debra Shalman, and then subsequently dropped all of the bands she had signed. As a last ditch effort to salvage the deal with Geffen, the band went into the studio and recorded "Sunday Dress", a more straight ahead pop song in the vein of old Mary's Danish, but were ultimately dropped anyways as the label started to want the entire album to sound like that and weren't happy with the harder edged music that Battery Acid was intent on making. (This is why "Sunday Dress" appears on the album as an unlisted final track almost as if it was an afterthought.) The band decided to forge on and retooled the album a bit and then released it on their own Absinthe Records in 1996. On a more pleasant note though, I did see Mary's Danish perform two reunion shows in 1997, one at The Viper Room and one at The Whisky (both in West Hollywood) and as part of their reunion set for both shows the band performed Battery Acid's "Sunday Dress", "Bliss" and "Crown on My Head" (as well as Julie Ritter's "Bed" and a new unrecorded Mary's Danish song called "Why Can't You Be Mine?") and the three songs blended in effortlessly with the rest of the MD song selection. As soon as I heard "Sunday Dress" and figured out it was a Battery Acid song, I went out to Tower Records the next day to buy a copy of it.

Thanks for helping me; my favorite album of all❤❤❤Blessings still...

Up On The Sun is huge for me, along with You're Living All Over Me

Nice shout out to Husker Du- Eight Miles High! Masterpiece. First Husker song I ever heard was Erase Today. In fact Blasting Concept 2 was the first I heard from all those bands! And then a friend put 8 Miles on a mix tape and I have loved it ever since

Cool interview! I grew up on SST, loving its diverse weirdness. Been listening to Mojack on spotify. Blessings from Albuquerque, NM

Great chat! Been a fan of Mojack for the last 4 years. Also excited to check out the other episodes on this channel

What a band. Phenomenal.

Great discussion!I absolutely cannot wait to see the film!

Wooo, that's me!!! Thank you so much and congratulations on 200 amazing episodes!

Congratulations to the winner!! I won’t spoil it so everyone watches!!!

Very interesting collection of tunes. We learned in 41 minutes that Soraya couldn’t break the code to the rhyme or reason to the picks but in the end it didn’t matter because it’s a fun compilation to listen to!

Please play with Bangles again Annette. The shows you played w them in 2018-19 were terrific.

Great discussion. Thanks!

Another great show guys! Hopefully that long overdue Bangles boxset will finally come to fruition.

Great stuff and I wanted to ask everyone to please pray and send out your best wishes for Matthew Sweet, in his recovery! You guys do such a wonderful job and a lot of exciting stuff coming out in 2025 for Bangles fans! It's really started now with the Drifters tribute album. Having both Debbi and Annette doing an awesome job with their songs on the album.

Quite a bit to unpack with this episode! Loved Debbi’s contribution (along with the minus 5) to the Drifters CD. I’m excited to hear about a box set or re-releases of Bangles stuff AND to a show with her sister AND Jane Wiedlin??? Hopefully that pops up on KZbin!!! And wait…a solo album? YES PLEASE! AAA+++

Good stuff. Thanks.

Really thanks from an old fan. I was a Wire and Television fan at the beginning of the eighties when I discovered TWR. Great sound and great songs. Best to all!

Some guests you have on are very informative. Some are very interesting, and some you could listen to all day. Don Dixon is all three. When he mentioned doing shows talking and playing, I lit up but then figured it wouldn’t happen in my neck of the woods and I got sad again. Lol You’ll need to have him back just to do a historical account of the projects he’s worked on!!! His version of Mississippi was fantastic!!! Was he referring to the Sony PCM-3324? A digital monster of the time! Great show!!!

This was an extra special bonus episode! First you have Ronnie co-hosting, then you have National Treasure Derrick Anderson spilling tea about his contribution to the Continental Drifters tribute album! If that wasn’t enough, Jim Laspesa makes a cameo? Excuse me but with all this goodness, I’m going to go order a pepperoni pizza! Groove on!

So cool to hear that one of these guys skated. And the Youth Brigade connection. My skate crew thought paisley underground was uncool, but I knew better. Salvation Army and Baroque Hoedown were sick!

That was a fun episode! Sharknado might be one of my favorite camp franchises! Listening to Robbie talk about his career and projects wore me out. I had no idea he played with so many bands and was associated with so many LA heavyweights! It’s always great when you can just let your guest fly and you guys can sit back and take it in. Thanks again! Informative, entertaining and very fast paced! Groove on!

I got into the Continental Drifters from following Vicki Peterson s post Bangles projects. This was a great way to really dive into the band and the different personalities that have been associated with it! I might have to get the book and really learn more! Groove on!

I've been a big fan for such a long time.... Scott autographed The Big Shot Chronicles for me saying "Enjoy the least elaborate CD in history" on it after my sister had met him at one of the performances. I'm also a big fan of Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things...... the later stuff always lifts me up as I navigate the world.... Thanks to the band and RIP Scott.

😮

Vicki & John both signed my CD of From a Running Horse. It was "merch."

Action Skulls rock!

great interview... one of my favourite eighties bands... and definitely not paisley... we called it "desert rock" over here in europe, with other bands like giant sand, long ryders, etc...

What happened to The 3 O’Clock is beyond tragic and disgusting. They should have been huge. The were young and mishandled and taken advantage of.

Dance Hall Crashers had two female singers. Also the reggae duo Althea and Donna.

Thanks from an English TWR fan. Saw them twice, first time in London just after Spanish Cave came out. Probably the best gig of my life.

thank you great interview!!

Earle is the best! Kim Fowley got my husband, Dane Conover signed to MCA/Universal as a solo artist. Not wanting to be pigeonholed as a "singer/songwriter", Dane called his project Trees and the album was called "Sleep Convention". Earle Monkey engineered and co-produced the album in his studio with Dane back in 1982. Dane and Earle worked so well together and among Synth-Pop fans, the "Sleep Convention" album is an 80's gem. Four videos were done and this song "Delta Sleep" was broadcast on MTV in its infancy. You can really hear Earle's engineering and production magic on this song!....kzbin.info/www/bejne/ambadKR5dsqGjbs

yes, Super Big Gulps of Diet Coke all day long was the culprit I warned him in the late 80s, Aspartame is Donald Rumsfeld poison.

Many thanks to you guys for this fab video with Eric. I have learned so much about this album that has meant so much to me for almost 40 years. I remember buying it when it came out and then seeing them live when they came over here to the UK and being blown away with their live performance. (lost count how many times I've seen them now over the years) I love Eric's book, read it and re read it a few times now. What we need now in 2024/25 is a super deluxe box set of outtakes and alternate versions and Demos for each album, and an officially released live album, and of course a new Bangles album of new material.. Once again Soraya and Jeff thank you so much for this vid and this channel, long may it continue....

RIP

Love John Vicki & Bill love all Action Skulls 🙂

💃 Promo-SM

Louise Palanker produced and directed this masterpiece!

Family Band, The Cowsills Story, aired 11 years ago on Showtime, now available on Prime Video.

Nice

release it on onivore recrds

Playing catch up with all these WONDERFUL podcasts! Quick comment about Share Your Love. Rain Parade played this song February 2020, when they opened for The Dream Syndicate in Oakland. FYI.

Very entertaining and informative episode! Stephan’s approach to a live gig is perfect. Read the room. As far as writing new music, it’s amazing how the drum beat can dictate the complete feel for the song! What about his brother? These two have been around and played with some heavyweights! Thanks for sharing!!!

Awesome! Hey Toby Ornet is my current favorite track! I share it all the time. I just know certain people will love it 🌊🏄‍♂️🌸
