Jon and Conan talk about the many wonders of his memoir/recollection of a band called Bitch Magnet and a different time in independent music.
The book is "Your Band Sucks: What I Saw at Indie Rock's Failed Revolution (But Can No Longer Hear). Why polite dullards like Clapton play so limp and lifeless, A Minor Forest's steam table pizza dashboard scenario, the harsh retrospection of "growing up" and all things in the weird, wild world of the glory days of indie rock. All this, plus premieres by Lardo and B. Hamilton

An acoustic performance of two songs Masters of Suicide and Hope is On the Way! As well as some new tunes off of HISS, the new Heavenly States record. Good times. Brenna dating stuff, Conan saw Jon Fine at Aquarius, Then suddenly stuff gets all weird and deep and existential and stuff. I don't know.

A career spanning interview that covers Silkworm’s many years of (not so) glamourous touring, doing your best work in “low gear”, replacing a band member with space, being in a band with three singers that don’t sing together, not envying people who make music for a living, continuing on with music after tragedy, being covered by the Mountain Goats being a big deal to a small amount of people, bass vs. baritone guitar
and being “the beef rub guy”. All that and a rock block of Silkworm and Bottomless Pit you wouldn’t believe.

Also hot tubs and tuxedo tattoos, Mulle’, etc. There are Happy Endings and some Truth and Consequence. Conan would like to apologize for the use of the “boo-oing” sound effect.

1/2 of Milwaukee Wisconsin’s Body Futures arrive in the Radio Valencia studios to talk about cross continental train travel and hypothetical sleeper car searches, high concept Boson Higgs records, skateboards powered by an app, Bone Wars(tm), and Back to the Future, and exactly why it is so hard for Conan to spell the word “Silhouette“.
