<p>The legendary front man and singer of US Maple FINALLY comes on Protonic. <a href="https://usmaple.bandcamp.com/album/long-hair-in-three-stages-2">Long Hair in Three Stages</a> has an incredible reissue available for purchase. We talk about all that, as well as the Vietnam theater of Sang Phat Editor, Talker, Acre Thrills, and lots more. Shorty talk (including which 7 inch records are embarrassing or not), Skin Graft and Drag City. Being compared to Beefheart constantly while not being familiar, changing vocal styles completely and lots more.</p>
