If you’ve been tuning in to the last few episodes, you’ll be aware of the ongoing discussion about the Black Flag reunion, be it the Keith Morris fronted Flag or the Greg Ginn Black Flag. A few months ago, I wrote a piece for Invisible Oranges about this very topic and went on record with my point of view. For me, it’s a complicated topic; Black Flag has influenced me on many levels, as a direct music influence or as an example of how to get the job done, so I had strong emotions when I discovered that there was talk of them reforming.
Josh Bayer, who many will be familiar with from his appearances on this podcast, as well as his amazing comics, pointed me to an article that Erick Lyle had written for Vice aptly titled “Can I Get in the Van” which chronicled his journey down to Lyle Texas to audition to be Black Flag’s bassist. It gave me another angle to look at this evolving story; a must read for those of you who have been following this story.
Josh was friends with Erick, so I reached out to him about possibly getting Erick to be a guest on the podcast. He was game, so we went for it.

In David Fincher's movie "Fight Club", Tyler Durden describes his future world as a place where, in addition to stalking elk in the ruins of Rockefeller Center, you would "wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life." Adam Rapp's brainchild CLOTHING ARTS come to mind. He has built his company around the idea of buying high quality garments that serve your needs in a utilitarian way. Also, they just look cool. I'm a big fan of military BDU clothing. I dig the aesthetic and also the durable functionality. CLOTHING ARTS flagship line the P Cubed pants have the same vibe but Adam has stepped it up to becoming what I like to refer to as a "Clothing System." I wore these pantss on our last tour for 14 days straight and they held up splendidly. Adam and Marc stopped by the other night for a chat and a delicious cup of Upgraded Coffee. Check it out!!

Utilizing the wonders of modern technology, Eugene Robinson and I were able to transcend time and space and spent a pleasant hour discussing the finer points of fighting, playing loud rock music and the "30 second rule". Eugene has been the frontman of avant-garde, blues, noise outfit OXBOW for over 2 decades. Aside from his antics on stage, he is a prolific writer, martial artist and fight enthusiast. If you haven't checked his books out already, I recommend "Fight" and his novel "A Long Slow Screw"

From the first time I heard Ulcerate, I realized that they were not a typical band. They were clearly operating within the death metal genre, but instead of catering to a certain style, it was more a case of using the language of death metal to express more diverse concepts. It may sound dramatic, but I feel like Ulcerate are the future of death metal. When Tombs had the opportunity to play shows with them, we jumped at it. Though it was only three dates, I feel that it was an honor to share the stage with them. Jamie and I, in the wake of the theft of their gear, had a quick conversation before our show in Boston. I hope to see these guys on the road at some point soon.

Fred Pessaro stopped by to chat about Brooklyn Vegan, promoting shows, secret identities, and our love of old soundtracks. We spoke about two films, "To Live and Die in L.A." and "Christiane F"; I said that both films are basically about drugs, but I stand corrected, "To Live and Die in L.A." is actually about counterfeiting!! Enjoy the podcast, and if you're so inclined, leave a comment on iTunes.

Check out Part 2 of our Halloween Week Podcast with Me and Mike Scondotto as we discuss West Memphis 3, Last House on a Dead End Street, hipster, the Youth of Today Reunion and movie suggestions for the upcoming Halloween Weekend. I must apologize for the trail-off; we actually ran out of card space on my trusty Zoom recorder. Nonetheless, it was a pretty cool conversation for a Monday night.
