Doug Mann

Chapter 79: "Burning Ships (Part One)" ...as read by Doug Mann, founder of R.E.X. Music I FOUND HIM! Douglas C Mann! Ok...Bruce Fitzhugh found him. Ok...he's on Facebook so he wasn't exactly hiding. Anyways I am joined by guest host Bruce of Living Sacrifice to speak to the legendary Doug Mann who founded R.E.X Music just after his time in the Coast Guard with $1,200, preceding Tooth And Nail by around seven years. Doug has decided this is his first, last and only interview that he will do concerning R.E.X. so I thank him for letting it unfold on my show. However, as you will hear...it isn't bad blood. I think there was more mystery and drama surrounding it then it deserved. Either way, THIS is the place to hear it and thank you Doug for taking the time. Really fun conversation; Bruce and Doug just run off and hijack the first half! Great Psychoboy studio story. This was a long one so we're gonna split this one in half. Bruce had to leave halfway through so next week there's no guest host...it's just me and Douglas C Mann. This one is definitely R.E.X. heavy and next week is a little more personal about him. Enjoy! Go be Dougs' friend: https://www.facebook.com/douglas.c.mann DJ, call me. It's time. Chapter 79 Music: Celebrating some of my favorite R.E.X. selections. I'm thirteen again.   Living Sacrifice: "Enthroned" (from Non-Existent during Dougs' tenure at R.E.X.)   Sacrament: "Testimony Of Apocalypse" (LOVED this album.)   Believer: "Unite" (demo from 1987 (love that "tape hiss") then a little from the Extraction From Mortality LP)   Living Sacrifice: "Breathing Murder" (SPITE! Haha. It'll make sense in context.)   DC Talk: "Jesus Freak" (Doug worked A and R for one of the biggest Christian releases ever. That's a thing.)   Iona: "Treasure" (from the album "Beyond These Shores, which Doug worked on with the band at Forefront.)

Bruce Fitzhugh

Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice joins the story with many of his own stories. Ya'll ain't gunna believe this one. LOTS of music in this chapter. We discuss Mark Fields, Stryper, live Quicksand and Hum. Trav embarrasses himself with a story that Bruce can't even remember. Fitzhugh talks about what he's doing now at Manhead Merch. We discuss a lot of older Living Sacrifice, DJ, early albums...lots of old school Living Sacrifice fans will dig this stuff. Bruce Fitzhugh was heavily influenced by the DC scene and it pokes it's head in a lot of places you may not expect it. Bruce gets into the R.E.X. debacle and what lead Living Sacrifice to Solid State (...turns out Brandon Ebel may be a stalker.) Then...the news we've been dying to drop on the audience: it turns out we are at war. A Holy War. Bruce Fitzhugh discusses...the punishment due. Just listen all the way to the end. It'll make sense.

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.

We discuss all his musical endeavors and even in- between band jobs. (He sold a suit to baseball phenom Mike Trout. Seriously.) Riley explains how touring is different than it was before being a dad and we go into the deep end of the pool about faith. Thank you Riley for taking the time and thanks Ian for connecting us. Also, this podcast has an exclusive Less Art clip for their song "Shapeshifter" that Riley was nice enough to let me push out there. Enjoy!

Yeah everyone is busy, but this guy... ...is in a little band called Thrice who is touring again: <a href="http://thrice.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://thrice.net</a> ...has started a new band with members of Curl Up And Die, Thrice and Kowloon Walled City called Less Art: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LESSARTBAND/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/LESSARTBAND/</a> ...cohosts a music and baseball podcast with Ian Miller called Productive Outs: <a href="http://productiveouts.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://productiveouts.com</a> ...started a joke side project baseball grind band called Puig Destroyer: <a href="https://puigdestroyer.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://puigdestroyer.bandcamp.com</a> ...and produces his own music: <a href="https://rileybreck.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://rileybreck.bandcamp.com</a> He is also an exhausted new parent trying to find his way. We discuss all his musical endeavors and even in- between band jobs. (He sold a suit to baseball phenom Mike Trout. Seriously.) Riley explains how touring is different than it was before being a dad and we go into the deep end of the pool about faith. Thank you Riley for taking the time and thanks Ian for connecting us. Also, this podcast has an exclusive Less Art clip for their song "Shapeshifter" that Riley was nice enough to let me push out there. Enjoy!

Cory Brandan. Yup. THAT Cory. Norma Jean. Eso-Charis. Fear Is The Driving Force. What a great addition to your ATSG collection. Cory and I iron out the Eso-Sacrifice lineups, discuss the upcoming 10th Anniversary tour for Oh God The Aftermath, and discuss...ahem...fondling and murdering fellow astronauts while Heavy Randy is drunk driving on the moon in spadoinkle mode. Yeah. Cory Brandan has his own "everything" company called Unwork. We discuss Norma Jean's move from Solid State to Razor &amp; Tie and their new upcoming, unannounced label. (Gonna be "SIIIICK"...Cory's words, not mine.) I read a twitter question from Seth Hansen ( @thestormmaster) directly to Cory. That's right. We interact when we can. Secret side projects in Canada, country music, bad tattoos...so fun. We then get into Cory opening up and telling the world about his new lyrical goals with this new era for Norma Jean.

He goes into a lot of detail back in March on the Urban Achiever podcast, but I wanted to hit on a few different things than what he rolled out with Bill. I became friends with Marty because of my relationship with Scott and Zao and we got to spend some quality time in the van between Canada and NY. Marty and I try to cover some of the in-between stuff that he hasn't discussed before...including a lil' hockey. I'm happy to help his band Young Fox with their full length coming "Sky Beats Gold" on Spartan Records in Mid-January! Check out a clip of the song "Sometimes The Monsters Win" at the end of this chapter. Thank you Marty and thank John from Spartan.

Chapter 71: "Keep It In The Family" ...as read by Mark Garza of Embodyment / The Famine / Constant Seas All in all, Mark Garza is happy with how his life has turned out. The drummer best known for his work with The Famine and Embodyment has become a successful business man, has a family submersed in musical talent and is still involved in producing quite a bit of music. In this second half of his story we discuss how record labels are what they are, his current project called Constant Seas and the slightly different goal that they have, music with his family and feeling accomplished with what he has achieved. This is an uplifting story that I hope is enjoyed as much as it is uncomfortable.
