The pod is thrice-graced by James Hearn’s regal chicano presence, and we talked music, bad shows, good moves, cold nights in Wyoming, and of course, the old nationaliano politicasticos-aroonie (national politics). Mark your calendars to buy “Little Tweaker Pad on the Prairie” by the The Handee Dandees, on sale Sept. 11, wherever James music is sold.
