		<itunes:summary>This week&#039;s guest is musician/professional doodler, Emma Ruth Rundle.

I first met Emma in May of 2010 when her, and her fellow Red Sparowes band mates, played  the Blue Lamp in Sacramento. Then we spent a few hours together in LA the summer of 2011. You can hear our chat about her role in the making of The Nocturnes&#039; beautiful album, Aokigahara.  We&#039;ve kept in touch over the years, and this latest conversation got pretty serious but worthwhile time spent.

		<itunes:summary>This week&#039;s guest is singer/songwriter/guitarist Laura Pleasants of Kylesa.  I guess everyone is calling them a sludge metal outfit but she calls what they do rock n roll, you know what that is, right?  Seems most people have forgotten, so good on her for bringing that back into focus. Anyway, this was a short but interesting conversation, primarily because I wanted to talk about her time at SCAD, but we went off into talking about Savannah, the town itself, and then it just went into all sorts of lightly social-political stuff. A bit more heavy than a typical &quot;rock music&quot; interview, but I like that in a brief conversation - better that than asking how she feels about the state of metal or some bullshit question like that, right?

Anyway, if you&#039;re a die-hard fan you might be disappointed, but if you&#039;re a fan of her, and women in general, you&#039;ll dig what she has to say.

Oh, and...sorry townsfolk of Savannah, GA.

		<itunes:summary>This week&#039;s guest is multi-media artist/singer/entrepreneur/art director/fellow college alumni Sonny Kay, who is perhaps best known for starting the fabled indie label, Gold Standard Laboratories, and being the creator of some  pretty legendary The Mars Volta album artwork.

We discuss that (though not to the extent warranted) and his career as a lover of punk rock, and a whole bunch of rambling on about life in Boulder, Colorado circa the 90s. Seriously, if you&#039;re wistful about your days at ole CU, then this will be a pleasant podcast for you to listen to, if not, too bad. It was pleasant for me to stroll down memory lane with someone who was there at the same time I was.

Sadly, we never met...or did we? Listen to find out...

Music featured in this podcast includes &quot;Pre-Super Model&quot; by Angel Hair and &quot;Swift Kicks&quot; by The VSS off Nervous Circuits - both can be purchased on Amazon.

		<itunes:summary>Welcome to this week&#039;s podcast. Our guest is Brian Weaver, the bassist for Reptiel, a band based out of San Francisco Bay Area.  I &quot;discovered&quot; REPTIEL through the magic of spam emails, or rather, Brian sent me an unsolicited email that included a download to their 2010 self-titled debut, a musical effort I compared to &quot;Jefferson Airplane meets the The Yardbirds mixed strangely with Captain &amp; Tennille.&quot; That is to say, it was way out there, defying categorization and listener comprehension – it turns out several of the songs are sung on foreign languages, and apparently, not very well. At least according to Brian.

Now they have a sophomore effort, Violent Sagas of the Ancients.  Of course, Brian sent me email to let me know.  This latest effort can easily be described as &quot;Prog Fantasy,&quot; as the themes mimic  tropes readily found in your Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones type sagas. Turns out these guys are a bunch of Sci Fi/Fantasy nerds!

So, if you&#039;re interested in that sort of thing, and surely you&#039;ve become a GOT addict via the HBO series, then you&#039;ll love this bizarrely circuitous, religion as fantasy heavy conversation.
