    Jam Notes Podcast: Motion is Lotion? Reverb vs. Delay and Reviewing Recent Primus, Puscifer Concert

    In this episode, BW Derge (drums) and Nick Ring (guitars)are talking about an improvised jam from January 2024.   Something about bowling? The jam’s got loops, reverb – all that jazz. “Jam”-uary, get it? Playing clue with effect pedals instead of weapons… maybe? The jams are free, unlike bowling. Also – a review of the recent Puscifer, A Perfect Circle, and Primus 2025 spring tour. Possibly going to post the little video clip as a YouTube short… we’ll see.

(Natural decay)·        Delay is more complex, according to Nick. (Multiple delays!) ·         Getting old, talking about shoulder pain and massages
