A2G338 - Out of Touch, Out of Time Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

Would you like to play a game? Bob plays the role of Jigsaw from the Saw movies and subjects Tom and Patrick to a mental blood sport. Will they make it out of this house of horrors? Tons of music, new and old, is recommended for your ears. Also, MTV VJs in retirement, and the appeal of listening to two grown men bicker.

A2G337 - Cash Is King Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

Tom on a solo mission while Pat and Bob are on assignment in Europe. Tom is joined by Bob Wilson (FYA, Philly SXE, a lot of bands) and Greg Falchetto (Manalapan SXE, lots of bands, NJHC shows) to discuss all things booking. Played some "Keep One, Lose One", how to start out booking shows and, most crucially, the importance of bringing cash to shows. This was a lot of fun, thank you to Bob and Greg for taking part.
