This week Sam and Jason tumble down a pop-punk themed rabbit hole with special guest Casey Shafer of Burning House management, known for his work with Monophonics. From the roots of pop punk to its ’90s heyday, the trio explores exploratory the role of comps, The Vandals, the punk comedies of Penelope Spheeris, the Teen Idols, the epic 101 song-long Short Music for Short People collection, and plenty more.
Sam and Jason embrace dystopia, talking cyberpunk, veering into Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard’s “Space Jazz,” and discuss one of the strangest album covers of all-time. All that PLUS plenty of clarinet talk you crave.
It’s time for a biweekly online rabbit hole journey with Sam Means and Jason P. Woodbury. On today’s show, our click trails take us from Billy Joel to Television to the Johns (Glynn, Ethan, and Andy)—who’ve helped to make some of the best sounding records ever—and from Todd Rundgren to Ric Ocasek and then Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. And of course, the boys are digress and discurse all along the way.
Sam Means and Jason P. Woodbury log in and zone out in the second episode of Click Vortex: Bicoastal (Kinda) Edition. On today’s show, our rabbit holes lead us to Nicolas Cage, The Bangles, David Lynch, Sheryl Crow, Mitchell Froom, Phantom Planet, and much more.
