    83: No Peeling + Heathen Axe

    How does Max Rebo get into that circular keyboard? What’s he wearing under there? One thing’s for certain: He’d smoke Dr. Teeth in a battle set. We discuss these possibilities, shout at George Lucas, eat some cookies, and discuss a stacked week’s bevy of riches by No Peeling, Heathen Axe (John Dwyer’s new band), Puzzlehead (check out Big Sniff too), World Peace, Mock Execution, and the split from Maxshh and Crimson Blue. Also: There’s another new HARD PIVOT! Be sure to pick up a copy of teeter/totter: a see/saw benefit. More physical copies are being made.

    Fresh off the see/saw year 2 party, Evan breaks down an unbelievable night in Minneapolis. Nina balks at Evan’s MLB agnosticism; our hosts decide that he must choose between two teams. Nina’s dryer introduces itself as a third co-host. A wild hardcore record brings to mind a Frog and Toad story. We discuss new ones from Hedge, Censer, Stuck, Mother Nature, Rubble, and Physicalist.
