This week’s guest dreamed of having a bar where his favorite bands could play, and he made it happen beyond anyone’s expectations. Saint Vitus in Greenpoint, Brooklyn is not only a popular neighborhood bar, it hosts bands that no other club their size would ever manage to land. In our interview, we talk about Arty's teen years as a metalhead on Long Island, seeing the world in iconic hardcore bands like Mind Over Matter, and what led him to become the proprietor of multiple venues in NYC. We’re ending this series on a high note, so enjoy this episode, and maybe we’ll see you again in the future. Thanks to all of our listeners for a great run.

Guest Steve Karp helps us get to the bottom of BIM (Business Information Modeling), and what exactly he does in the construction process. In addition to BIM, we talk about art and illustration, the laws and legality of tattooing in CT and NYC, interning at Marvel Comics and a whole lot more. Steve’s hilarious takes on the hardcore scene, his time in Yuppicide and making ends meet as a ‘professional’ without resorting to violence are priceless. Check it out!

You may know this week’s guest from his band, Hell No, but even if you aren’t a hardcore punk rock fan, you may know him from his legendary video store Reel Life Video, which existed on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg well before the boutiques and luxury apartments. John later went on to co-found Nitehawk Cinema, where he still works as director of programming and acquisitions. In our conversation we dork out about music, movies and dive into the intricacies of making his dream of a movie theater that serves high-quality food and drinks a reality. It’s more complicated than you think, but John’s approach and attitude helped make for one of the coolest theaters in the world. Check it out!

n addition to being integral parts of the early Los Angeles punk rock scene, Alice and Greg also had successful careers - Alice as a school teacher and writer and Greg as a hospitality executive and photographer. But our area of focus in this episode is what happened when they decided to retire, and realized they didn’t have the money to do it in California. Not only did they decide to move to Mexico City, they also made the decision to document the process for all to see. We talk about the challenges, exciting developments, lifehacks learned from punk rock and how they’ve used social media to share it all.

This week we’re excited to share the professional story of one of punk rock’s most famous working stiffs, Milo Aukerman! From the moment he went to college to his subsequent career and the reformation of Descendents in the 90s, punks around the world have known that Milo left music to pursue a career as a scientist, but not much else. In this episode, we dive into his career as a molecular biologist, his areas of specialty, what drew him to science and his recent retirement to focus on music. Lots of laughs as we discuss finally becoming a ‘professional’ musician in your fifties, studying dirt vs. corn, and why science themes didn’t figure more prominently in Descendents songs. So break out the bonus cup and enjoy!

In the pantheon of badassery in punk rock, no one has a lead on Deniz Tek. In addition to helping to bring Detroit-style rock ‘n roll to Australia and then to the world with Radio Birdman and playing with some of those Detroit legends in New Race, Deniz became an emergency room surgeon, then a navy pilot and flight surgeon and finally a Kona coffee farmer in Hawaii. We talk about it all, from his early years working at an auto plant in Michigan to his current music with James Williamson of the Stooges, an upcoming reissue of the New Race LP and how he’s still learning new things and taking on new challenges.

You’ve pretty much got it made when part of your day job involves comparing the sound of different pressings of Stooges records, and we talk to Ben Blackwell about how he came to co-found Third Man Records with Jack White, become the official archivist for all of the music / ephemera of the White Stripes and help expand the label into record stores, a pressing plant and a global brand. We cover it all, from his teen years getting into music to his years playing with the Dirtbombs and his move to Nashville, starting a family and balancing the rock ‘n roll with more responsibility than you’d think.
