Happy Tuesday you beautiful babes. Andy's back in LA with UPDATES for y'all. And on the Interview Hour we welcome Justin Osborne from WSP show favorite, Susto!

Show notes

Andy finds himself in a burgeoning romance & also a sexy gambit as he "pops the question" about opening up to non-monogamy with a girl he really likes. Spoiler alert: it doesn't go well. But don't worry Andy, it's still a win for self-respect and honesty! On the Interview Hour we welcome California raised, Geoff Weers from The Expendables! They talk about the good stuff: reggae, weed, and Santa Cruz. Ahri reviews Thanksgiving. Aw yeah, this is EP 106.

EP 102: Michael Alago (A&R Elektra Records, Metallica rep) Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

In an unbelievably normal turn of events, Andy and the band hit the road for a socially distant run of outdoor, drive-in shows. Listen in as he gives his perspective on the state of live music, mid-pandemic from the safety of the band bubble. And we welcome a living music industry LEGEND, Michael Alago! Michael may best be known for signing Metallica (yes, that Metallica), but his story goes much deeper. Shawn and Beats have a few tunes up their sleeve and Ahri reviews voting. This is EP 102.
