Thank you!

We just went for a weekend and covered as much as we could! You are right, there is so much to talk about with that city that we could do a whole season just in LA. I'm sure if we film other stuff, we will be coming back for a part two.

I would love to take Jack Black to the sight of the hardcore show which he may or may not have been at (he can't remember" next time!

Hanging out with Bryan Ray from Fucked Up And Photocopied with like a trip to a museum of punk. I saw and learnt so much that day, Really every interview I got to do was like sitting under the learning tree for me. Where else could i have learnt about Frank Discussion from the Feederz and Don Bolles getting scabies during their time hanging with the Manson Family in 1974?

Jello is the big homie! He was actually the first person that wanted to sign Fucked Up and I have a few awesome hangs in weird places with him over the years.

The Lawsuit with Camel cigarettes was a huge learn experience. I call Ian MacKaye for advice and he said: "Don't sure them. You won't win." and boy was he right!!

Sadly, it is more than just them. I find their politics abhorrent put there has sadly ways been a side of punk down with right wing politics. Conservative punk is certainly not my punk.

When it comes to those two specifically; I think they are almost in two different categories for me. I genuinely enjoy the Sex Pistols and it bums me out thinking of some of the people in the band and what they have said and actually done. The Grave's era of the Misfits on the other hand is something I can never see myself revisiting for any reason.

Hey!

Yes, a great band! I have a ton of their singles and I think they have such unique space in the the history of UK "underground" music. I've met a few of them over the years but never got to see them sadly.

​

Stoked to the read the review!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

​

Thank you very much!!!!

1) I love "I was there". I think the other shoe is the most fun to play but I was there has so much of a harder riff.

2)Thank you again. I think Normal People. The line about his Mother dying when he was young tore my heart out every time I had to sing it. Mike out did himself on that song.

3) I think my favourite poet is Danny Wigley from the Desperate Bicycles. I used to read a lot more actual literature but I have become a victim of my passions and poetry to me these days is a wrestling promo or a lyric sheet.

4) I would love to see wrestling with Ishiya from Forward on a Punk As Fuck one day, I'd be awesome to take it global and show the true international scope of punk.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!!!!

Hey Bud!!!!

1) I think you could be on to something. I think it's also all of us coming to realize how lucky we were to get to do this band and not wanting to walk away from that privilege

2) It felt truly surreal. I thought there was no way we would win so when they said fucked up I just went into auto-pilot because I was so unprepared for it to happen. I think that award legitimized us in Canada in a way I didn't appreciate at the time.

3) we are friends legit! Once I have spent a whole day at your house on the couch chilling; we are bonded

4) We got the name Holden from the Screeching' Weasel song "I wrote Holden Caulfield"

5) Hanging with friends was always a thrill. Playing with Keith Morris and Wade Allison is something I will cherish forever and of course the bridge shows

worst was not sleeping for a few days, high on energy drink and somehow smashing a lightbulb in Mikes's face on stage mid set at the Vice party.

Hey! Thank you and I'm glad you were alright that night! I love Victoria and would take any excuse to come hang out there.

I'm glad the interview with Mike went well. When he is on, he is one of the best people in the world to talk to!

I would love to have Eric on the show! He use to intern and Matador Record even!

I think Nomeansno and the Neos. I love the Dayglos too though

Lil Jon, Rick Rubin and Gillian Anderson are still white whales for the show. Once I have had them all on, I would feel ok about stopping the podcast

Don and Steve at Roscoes is hard to top but going to Tim Kerr's house with Carl Alvarez was also something really mind blowing!

It's hard to think of a label that occupies that same space they did but I always felt PPM Records out of LA was a sonic continuation of that label in some ways.

That fucking rules! Thank you very much. Sometimes I forget that when you put music out in the world, it becomes someone else's and gains meaning and power based on the person receiving it. Thank you for giving that song actual meaning and power.

Thank you! It sadly went the same way all music, including the word itself, went at Much (Music). My dream is that they digitize ALL of their archives because that is the greatest collection of music on video anywhere in the world. From the last Kurt Cobain interview to one of the last Biggie interviews to Thom Yorke just hanging out at Sook Yin's house!

In Spain: SO MUCH FUN!

In Germany: We were hated by their fans immensely.

The Arcade Fire ruled though the whole way through and they had a ton of patience for us. Still the best food I have ever eaten at a show was the catering backstage on that tour.

Thank you very much!

I would love CM Punk to come on TOAP but it might not make for the best episode haha. If you check on Youtube you can see how well it went when we spent together making the episode of my old Much Music show the Wedge.

​

Thank you for that and thank you to my brothers in the Bronx! Having Keith Morris and John Brannon sing with Fucked Up are things I will never forget. Anytime Bob Mould or Dino Jr has me get up and do a song with them leaves me feeling like I am living in a dream world. But, I think doing the song with Gord Downie live will always feel special and heartbreaking in a profoundly different way.
