  00:32:20 Andrew Falkous “Falco” of Future of the Left /mclusky/ christian fitness
  releasing records on a friday evening, the royal we, from Tremendous Fence to christian fitness… what is in a name? why all lowercase letters and the lowercase affectation? Intercapping and fonts. Metallica trash talk, Some Kind of Monster as Waiting for Godot, keyboards and Metallica fans “thundering warm paste load of shit.”. Fiction vs. Fact, bottle feeding kittens. On Carthage and the winner’s version of history…

  00:51:01 christian fitness – christian fitness

  00:53:47 Back with Andrew “Falco” Falkous.
  Carthage/Cardiff, Going beyond the “baby, baby, baby let me touch you in your bathing suit area” level of lyricism, Aggressive lectures and revenge fists, erudite subjects and literacy with music, pretentious allusions, mclusky’s revisionist history, the unnatural life of touring, warding off Danzig and wolves with acoustic guitars, the Danzig punch’s anniversary… how about Piers Morgan? You can’t pick your allies. Best US Cities for mclusky/FoTl, mclusky gear theft ($25K worth of equipment) the day G.W.Bush is re-elected.
  Hello to Jeff Moody, Doing what you do… harsh invectives and brutal truths with Falco. christian fitness live? Not touring because of lack of money, being in a proper band and what that means. Welsh trains, more about cats, Shadow Analysts… per actor? per movie? per shadow?

  01:22:21 Future of the Left – Small Bones, Small Bodies
  01:24:40 christian fitness – i’m scared of everything that isn’t me

  01:26:27 awkward on the radio, real time drop ends up with three jobs, the job wizard (the metaphorical one, not the literal one)

  01:30:38 Call from Joe “Coolhand” Mcclune of the band Roland
  Playing with Vulgar Trade and the Mass… The Mass: “The Sound of a jazz band falling down the stairs”. Roland no slouch or slouch hat, Chad Allen’s pedigree, promo for a show that has already happened, rock show food talk, the delicate art of making people happy

  01:40:06 Roland – Is This Tyrese Gibson?

  01:46:10 Children in adult situations (Stand by Me), explaining human feces on the sidewalk to children, getting your child PUMPED UP. (Survivor recap). Rock references, saying “God” a lot for a humanist, colloquialism, “Whatever happened to Survivor?”
