21:55
Reunited on stage at the Juno's. I think it kind of.
21:58
Overshadowed the whole rest of the Juno Awards.
22:00
Which is. Unfortunate, actually, but they
22:03
sounded. Good.
22:03
They played the debut track off their debut album.
22:06
They said Neil would think we. Were idiots for doing this.
22:09
They had said they had. Some difficulty originally, kind
22:12
of. Jamming together with Anika
22:14
Niles, the new drummer, but. They're luck step and tight.
22:18
Now, so that was fun. To see but the big.
22:21
News is that despised icon who's been around for 25 years almost.
22:25
30 years as a band. And had a long.
22:29
Break up and then Reunion won their first ever.
22:32
Juno. They had been nominated a couple
22:34
of times. For their recent album, their
22:37
comeback album last. Year a nuclear blast.
22:40
And I did that. Live stream that the.
22:43
Juno's really understand metal. And they really, truly do.
22:46
Which is really great to see. That was on Tuesday.
22:50
Man, this this continues to. Be a kind of unbelievable story.
22:55
Man put so Brady Ebert. Man.
22:58
Used to be in turnstile. Then he was in the set.
23:01
Both bands fired him at different times.
23:04
He was arrested for attempted. Murder this.
23:06
Week for trying to kill. The singer of Turnstile's
23:09
father. With his car like running.
23:11
He ran him over. And put him in the hospital.
23:13
And he had surgeries and. He's.
23:16
Like 80 years old almost. And what a terrible story.
23:18
And you know when they say sometimes your whole life is a
23:21
movie? This.
23:22
Guy's movie is the movie of the week when the guy gets.
23:25
Caught because he's stupid. Like, I don't know what's going
23:29
on with him personally and you know, just but holy.
23:32
Shit, yo, holy shit. What a disaster that is.
23:39
Wild shit. It's it's wild out there to be.
23:43
Trying to kill somebody you're not, you know, the family of
23:45
somebody you're not in a band with anymore.
23:47
That's just an absolutely batshit.
23:50
Stuff, but OK, more news to. Come on this one.
23:53
Thanks. For the land goat, for.
23:53
Breaking that story, Sepultura put out a new.
23:58

24:01
Out in a few weeks. Their farewell release?
24:03

24:19
It's absolute killer. I'm working on a review.
24:22
Of it, probably for Monday. Along with some other reviews I
24:24
need to catch up on. I'm really surprised, this band.
24:28
And this album is not. Getting more hype.
24:31
They are out on Corpse Paint records.
24:33
There's a ton of merch you can get, CDs, vinyl, everything, and
24:38
you should be checking this record out.
24:39
We'll be talking more about them when.
24:40
We hit the New Music Friday segment.
24:44
Greg Pusciato. Too bad.
24:45
Dillinger Compound is not here. Greg Pusciato of Yeah, man, just
24:49
what the fuck? Greg Pusciato of A.
24:53
Formerly a Dillinger. Escape plan and.
24:55
Formerly a better lovers. Gave an interview this week I
24:58
think while he was. Still on The Better Lovers?
25:00
Tour That turned out to be his final.
25:02
Tour with the band earlier this year.
25:04
He gave a tour. In which he talked about.
25:08
His. Legacy with Dillinger and that.
25:10
He looks positive like. Fondly back on that era.
25:14
Has not. Talked to Ben in 3 or 4.
25:16
Years since he exited the band. Since the band reformed with.
25:19
Dmitri and he said never say never, but.
25:22
Also, we don't talk. So I don't know what that means
25:25
so. I know there's a lot of swirling
25:27
stuff in the background about Greg, but until things are like
25:32
public or talked about more than there's really not much.
25:36
More to say about it. OK, moving right along, Dubs
25:40
Alcohol Abuse Center in Brooklyn, a New York landmark.
25:44
Hangout for metal. Heads occasionally for shows
25:47
mostly. For partying.
25:49
I spent. Many a time there screwed into a
25:51
stool at the bar, drinking. Whiskeys jacking cokes all the
25:55
time. They had a flood recently that
25:58
has temporarily shuttered the building.
26:01
Water and power has been. Restored, but they're not sure.
26:04
When they're coming back, but hopefully they're coming.
26:06
Back soon, they are supposed to have a record release.
26:09
Listening party for the final. At the Gates album.
26:13
With topa. So RIP Topa, but dust will
26:16
reopen. That's what we know.
26:18
The bar is OK Speaking of bars that are not.
26:22
OK, the Parkside, a San Francisco institution, is
26:26
closing after 25 years originally.
26:28
We thought their final day. Was going to be.
26:31
On. March 31st.
26:35
But it's now extended to. July 5th, I believe.
26:39
And they're going to continue to be open every single day, so I
26:41
hope. To get back there and see a show
26:44
or enjoy some deep fried tots or Buffalo.
26:48
Chicken sandals and they're fine.
26:50
Beverages, definitely. The cheapest beer.
26:52
For the highest quality. Beer in the city of.
26:54

Also Monday converge is not. Satisfied doing one album, but
27:09

27:11
released one Love is Never. Enough.
27:13
But love is not enough. And their new.
27:15

27:18
That there's like a a. Hum and a.
27:21
Trim in certain locations. We don't know what it's from,
27:24
but it's just like. A constant buzz in the air.
27:27
And what? If that's like the collective.
27:28
Suffering and grief of the whole planet Earth.
27:31
Manifesting itself as sound. That's the.
27:33
Concept of the record and it's a converged record.

Wish Inc which is the label. Owned by Jacob Bannon of.
34:14

34:15
That was more like a holiday sale that I'm just.
34:17
Getting to unbox now. It is wild how much I.
34:21
Paid for a lot of things. So First off from the.
34:24
Last band camp Friday, the next band camp Friday is a month from
34:27
today. And this is from the Texas
34:30
Stoner doom band Red Beard. Wall, my dude.
34:33
Aaron, thanks for sending. I bought a hat.

34:40
He actually sent me a second hat, which is the.
34:43
Three album for his third album. So super cool.
34:45
I got some. Baseball Y hats.
34:47
To go with all my trucker hats and then he.
34:50
This is kind of cool. He nailed it in a shoe box that
34:52
he hand drew. Stuff on super fun.
34:57
Take some notice, Vance, when you send.
34:59
Merch or anything else to? People.
35:01

35:04

35:24
Priest. And then here's kind of like a.
35:27
Steeple on fire with a Hell's Angel.
35:31
And then? Kind of a self.
35:32
Portraiture. Red beard wall, I don't know if
35:35
you can see that very well, but. Pretty cool, all right?
35:40
Then. I finally got Speaking of
35:42
Neurosis, Aaron Turner of Siege Records, formerly of ISIS and
35:48

36:06

36:12
Records. And I think.
36:13
I'm going to do these every. Like I don't have that many but
36:16
I think I can do one every. Couple of weeks or three weeks?
36:19
Or I can? Do a big unboxing.
36:21
From a label or a. Band or a brand if you want to.
36:23

36:46
slept in. Or I will sleep in tonight, but
36:49
something to wear around the house and it just happens to be
36:51
cool enough to wear on the show. Yet another shirt.

39:37
Converge. This is Nate Newton's band that
39:39
sounds like Danzig. Oh that's cool, I forgot that I
39:43
got this. That's awesome.
39:45
How fun. And it was also some flexis that
39:49
fell. On the floor and.
39:50
Picked those up. And then this last vinyl is

40:41
Manageable 40 minutes. And 35 seconds.
40:45

40:47
All like I really. Can't stress this enough after.
40:50
The week we've. Had that, you know, it's really
40:54
hard. To navigate the world right now,
40:57
you may not agree with everything.
40:58
Going on, we may not. Agree on the same.
41:01
Things, but what I don't want is for anything bad to happen to
41:03
anybody. So please take care of
41:07
yourselves. I say that.
41:08

41:33
Festivals and all the things. And we're not corporate back.
41:38
We do make a little. Bit of money from advertising,
41:40
but let me say again like. It's a it's tough.
41:42
It's. OK to not be OK.
41:44
It's OK if you're struggling, it's OK.
41:46
To reach out and tell a friend I'm feeling bad today, but also
41:49
like don't shut yourself off. Don't isolate yourself, because
41:53
that's how. Also how.
41:55
You can take a turn. For the worse and and.
41:57
The bad situation. Becomes much worse.
