CW for this one: sexual assault, trauma, sex talk 
 
In this episode, I did something a bit different. I spoke at length with my friend Bee, who lives in Chicago and does a zine called Burn Black (and an upcoming podcast called Big Thick Energy).
We've had this idea for a while about doing a special podcast episode where we discuss, openly, about sexual assault/trauma and how it relates to dating, relationships and mental illness. This will be a two part episode. Part 2 coming eventually. 

The only song played was a special request by Bee. Reagan Youth - "It's A Beautiful Day".
 
Thanks for listening and we hope you like. 

On January 5th, 2018, I hung out in the band room of Baby's All Right in Brooklyn, NY and chatted with Mike Natoli, Jon Hernandez and Max Stern of the NY/Philadelphia based Timeshares. We chatted about their newest, self-released EP On Life Support, Max joining up with the band in the last year, bagels, doughnuts, milkshakes, and everything in between.
Jon Pagano, formerly of Rhode Island's Weak Teeth, was touring with Timeshares as a 5th member and makes a brief appearance as well.

And we're back! Returning from our first show back since July of 2016, with guests (and also returned band), Albany, NY's Aficionado! 

In early March of 2017, I sat down with Aficionado duel vocalists Nick Warchol and Laura Carrozza (also flutist) at Suburbia in Brooklyn, NY to discuss why the band decided to get back together after 5 years, their upcoming new album on No Sleep Records, what they've been up to and more fun stuff. 

We also talked a bit about their other musical projects and I play two tracks from Aficionado side bands, Hospital Corners and Death Vacation. It's a reunion!
