Yeah! Shit yeah! What’s better than sitting around talking to Joey Cape? Sitting around talking to Joey Cape about his new band The Playing Favorites, that’s what. Listen as we talk to Mr. Cape about his new project and how awesome it is to do something that isn’t Lagwaon (Sidenote: Joey is really 6′ 7″) and we even get to play some tracks off the new album I Remember When I Was Pretty (the last track we play, “Indigenous”, is my favorite thus far).
Also, Virgil “Vinyl Overlord” Dickerson has been kind enough to hook us up with not one, not two, not four but three awesome prize packs! Each prize pack contains a copy of the Playing Favorites new album I Remember When I Was Pretty on CD and vinyl as well as a Suburban Home Records “I Celebrate Their Entire Catalog” shirt. Listen to the end of this killer broadcast and learn how you can win this amazing prize packs.
Enjoy the humor and insight of Joey and be sure to check back next week as we continue to lower the bar leading into our Christmaskuhwanzavistuseaster break (that’s a whole lotta gifts). As always feel free to drop us a line at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, our MySpace, or in the comments section. And remember: Don Imus says…who really cares? Seriously, he looks like a wax statue of himself, gross.

God, you would think being a social reject I would have enough time to update this thing on a regular basis but alas, I suck the dong. Nonetheless, I am ridiculously excited about this weeks show because not only does this band make amazing music, not only are they amazing dudes but they’re also super beardy! What group of humans could combine all these seemingly conflicting characteristics? None other than Arizona’s own Andrew Jackson Jihad.
If you’re not familiar with these dudes head over to ShutupDante.com . It’s a review I did and it mostly sums up everything I feel about these dudes and their music. Basically, it’s folk punk…and I know what you’re thinking but it doesn’t sound like New Wave!
Anyhow, check out this interview and check out Andrew Jackson Jihad so you can totally be on the cutting edge of edginess! As always you can send us shit at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on our MySpace or through our comments section. And remember, “Everyone was treating the music business like it was a Shmoo”.

We sit down with Rory to discuss, music, life and eternal debt. Enjoy and listen to the whole interview to learn how to ENTER TO WIN!!! a signed copy of Destroy their Future on CD. We totally love you guys and that’s why we hook you up. Feel free to hit us up at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on MySpace or in the comments section and remember:

Holy god! Has it really been three months? No it hasn’t, actually. Two maybe. Anyhow, after what seems like forever and ever the mediocre hobgoblin of media has returned with more apathy than ever! With no new contests this week, we can only recommend you listen because your life is remarkably boring without us.
So here’s this week show where we talk with a dude from The Weakerthans. They’re Canadian and write catchy songs about cats, curling and dudes named Gump who don’t run but skate (crazy ass backwards Canada). They also manage to be a group of pretty rad dudes. Oh yeah, and some fuzzy bastard from Punknews drops in and basically doesn’t do shit.
Enjoy the show and be sure to come back next week where we answer the burning questions, who won the Bomb the Music Industry! contest? And, who is Sound Guy Nariman’s baby daddy? Until then, send us something at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on MySpace or the comments section. Enjoy, and remember Dog The Bounty Hunter wants to be buried with George Washington’s slaves.

Here it is kids, our last blog before we go on a month long hiatus to spread the message of gay Jebus to third world states across the midwest! So how do you top off a series of mediocre Warped Tour interviews? With one interview so goddamn insane it bottles the mind. That’s right we got Bomb the Music Industry! with us this week and we pull no punches. We talk about O’ Pioneers!!!, Asian Man Records, selling out, buying in, buying low and selling high and all the general things that have helped make Jeff the multimillionaire spokesman for DIY ska.
Also, this week we wrap up a series of ENTER TO WIN!!!’s, featuring our Asian Man Extravaganza (which drew a record number of entries) and our Whole Wheat Bread contest (which drew a mustache on the other contest).
Plus!!!
A brand new ENTER TO WIN!!!, for a chance to win a copy of Bomb the Music Industry!’s Get Warmer on CD and limited edition picture disc. Listen to the last 8 minutes to learn how to enter. We should be back sometime in October but we may be taking off again to go to The Fest in Gainesville (we’ll let you know how that goes). Catch you all on the flipside. To the van, to the podcast, to the van, back home.
-Rich
P.S. I said the last song was “Never trust a man without a horribly embarrassing secret” but I actually decided (post-editing) to go with “Get Warmer” because I love that song…and I’m a liar.

Holy crap! For the two of you who might read this crap, we’ve finally rolled out a show on time for the first time since your mom was sober enough to pass out somewhere other than the porch. How did we manage to do this amazing feat of averageness? Mostly, because this is a Warped Tour episode and the show was recorded and edited weeks ago…BUT, also because I had a remarkably slow day at work and got to type the blog on the clock. Take that, the man!
So, the down side is that all the punctuality on Earth can’t make Warped Tour interviews good but Killswitch Engage can. That’s right this week we sit down with those crazy kids of metalcore to discuss the finer points of metal, punk and short shorts. Also this week has Hawaii’s very own Pepper. Other than sharing their name with a popular dinner condiment I didn’t/don’t know anything about these guys, so don’t ask me.
We’ll be wrapping up all of our contests next week, but for now you have one last chance to enter our Asian Man Contests (Lawrence Arms and Dan Potthast interviews) and the Whole Wheat Bread contest. So enter now, or just shut your trap. Leave us e-cards filled with viruses at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, MySpace or the comments sections.
Hurricane Rich, out.

Welcome back. No reason to waste a lot of time on this because it’s part two of our three part WARPED TOUR SHITTACULAR!!! Basically, it’s us filtering through every single artist the fine folks at Warped Tour threw at us. And like the ubber pro’s we are, we handled each interview like we didn’t know who the hell these people were (because mostly, we didn’t).
So sit back and enjoy The Briggs, The Warped Tour Comedians (yeah, seriously) and Authority Zero. No on contests but our Asian Man Extravaganza and our Whole Wheat Bread contest are still open so check those out. Always, always (always?), yes always, hit us up at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on MySpace or in the comments section.
Karl Rove resigned this week…What a bitch.

Here’s a funny story. We edited this week’s show almost 7 days ago. All we needed to get it posted was my shitty blog contribution. 7 days…and this is what you get. That’s service.
Anyhow, this week we have a killer interview with Bay Area transplant and MU330 frontman, Dan Potthast. Dan is more than just a frontman for an amazing ska band, he also has his own solo work and a ton of small projects, most of which get discussed in this interview. So kick back and enjoy the sounds of two mouth breathers talking about monsters, rollercoasters and a smattering of music.
Also, we’re continuing our Asian Manstravaganza where you can ENTER TO WIN!!! both of Dan Potthast’s releases ( Sweets and Meats and Eyeballs), The Lawrence Arms Cocktails & Dreams, the re-release of Alkaline Trio’s Goddamnit and other cool Asian Man swag. Just listen to the end to learn how to enter.
As always, drop us a line at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on MySpace or in the comments section. See you all next week. And remember, if I lived next to a serial killer I wouldn’t snitch…I might move but I wouldn’t snitch.

Another week, another interview. This week with Jacksonville, Florida’s Whole Wheat Bread. Not only nutritious but a delicious part of rocking out. So enjoy as we talk to the Florida trio about former members, touring the country and hanging with Lil’ John, it’s African American-tastic!
Along with an interview we have a new chance to ENTER TO WIN!!!, where you can get a brand new copy of Whole Wheat Bread’s Punk Live EP, it’s sourdough-rific. So, listen to the interview and get on that shit.
Other than that, we’re still running the Asian Manniversary contest, but that’s it. So send us a line at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on Myspace, or in the comments section. And remember, plastic Jesus beats paper Jesus, but not scissors Jesus.

So, to the dismay of many of our fan, we are taking a break form the shit heap that is Warped Tour interviews to bring you something totally different, a band that was banned from Warped Tour, The Lawrence Arms. Actually, we’ll be running a few Asian Man Records interviews, in conjunction with their 11th Anniversary.
If you don’t know who the Lawrence Arms are by now I highly suggest you Google the city of Chicago and filter through the stories until you find them, go ahead, we’ll wait…So sit back and enjoy the tasty goodness as Chris, Brendan and Neil talk about Cornish Gay Men, concept albums, and why Brendan took the mic into the toilet during the interview. It’s a good (totally naked) time had by all.
Additionally, we’ll have a brand new ENTER TO WIN!!! featuring a variety of Asian Man releases. One winner gets a copy of both Dan Potthast albums, Lawrence Arms’ Cocktails and Dreams, the rerelease of Alkaline Trio’s Goddamnit, plus some other fun stuff. So listen and figure out how to get free crap!
Stay tuned until next week when we have more awesome stuff. And feel free to drop us a line at SoundSceneRevolution@gmail.com, on MySpace or in the comments section. And remember…freedom is on the March…and the May.
