As The Story Grows

Chapter 133: "1998 Looked Great" ...as read by Bob Nanna, Chris Broach, Todd Bell, Damon Atkinson, Chris Bickert, Matt Lunsford and J Robbins (whew!) If you know this show then you probably know that Bryan and I are Braid fans. (That's Bob singing the theme song at the end.) Well back on April 7th, 1998 Braid had an album released on Polyvinyl Records called "Frame And Canvas". This is an important album to me and quite a few people, seeing on how this makes the top indie/emo albums of all time list again and again. I was able to assemble all four members of Braid, their roadie Bicks, Matt Lunsford (head of Polyvinyl) and J Robbins of Jawbox (produced and mixed) all together under one podcast roof to discuss this album. I hope you enjoy this. And again, this would not have been glued together without the wizardry of Bryan Patton. Thanks to everyone involved. If you like this, hang in there. There were lots of leftovers from this huge seven-course meal. https://www.facebook.com/braidcentral/ Chapter 133 Music: Every song from Frame And Canvas. Duh.

Chapter 131: "THAT'S A CRAZY STORY" ... as read by Neil Samoy Neil became a Christian at a Bible study in high school that set his musical career in motion. Neil became friends with members of Focused, Unashamed, Bloodshed and Havalina Rail Co. He was signed to Alarma Records before graduating high school, had a record deal with Stairwell and was in the right place at the right time to join Stavesacre at the height of their career. Neil's life is one crazy encounter after another and he was generous enough to take the time and share them with me.

Chapter 130: "The Feasts Unlocked" ...as written by Allan Aguirre (Spy Glass Blue, Scaterd Few) If you know me at all you may have already heard that I'm kind of a Scaterd Few fan. Allan Aguirre has written a book based on Leviticus 23 and it's my privilege to help him get it out there. Allan discusses what the book is about, the challenges of writing and why he even decided to write in the first place. It's not a music-centric chapter, but when you get an opportunity to help somebody out that you've been listening to since you were thirteen...you do it. http://planetbluemedia.com This was my first Facebook live event with the podcast. You can watch Allan and I have this conversation at the Chameleon Church FB page: https://www.facebook.com/ChameleonChurch/?hc_ref=ARS8eXKCvltnw-kAo54egF5oN6FjeGHV1qHEhMp_vdEQBFK8RjbRW-ji64sAPuoNPSU&pnref=story Chapter 130 Music: Scaterd Few: "Shark Attack" Spy Glass Blue: "One & Only" Scaterd Few: "Wonder Why" As The Story Grows links: Help out at Patreon ATSG Website ATSG Music and Merch Join the Email List ATSG Facebook Email: [email protected]

Chapter 128: "Lo, and I am really busy" ...as read by Josh Thieler of Slaves BC The long-awaited return of the handsomest man in music...Josh Thieler of Slaves BC. Josh tells us about the new upcoming Slaves BC album "Lo, and I am Burning" on March 16th . (Preorders are going up on March 2nd, I'll link ya below). Josh started a label called Fear And The Void Records and a PR company called CVRSED BREVTH (I can't figure out how to flip my "v" over but you get it.) Josh goes into how he got around not having label and PR support; he made some. Ultimate DIY finishing move. He mentions a lot of bands he is involved with but he sent me a clip for the band Deathcrawl on his label. This guy has a lot going on; just start clicking links. Always been a friend of the show, and quite frankly he is someone who is twelve years younger than me whom I respect and look to for inspiration. (Ok lemme explain the bathroom thing...no. Actually I won't; you draw your own conclusion.)
