Blynd Subs - Future Echoes: Episode 001 32:55

1y ago32:55

32:55

Not really a "welcome back" but more of a "JD got bored and needed to ramble out loud to himself about music". The point of Future Echoes — surprisingly, not an homage to Slomatics, but I do love them — is to have fun remembering great music from the past and digging into the new what next! Showing us old folks that great music is certainly still b…

We have something different this week. We attended our first music festival in over two years, and hung out with the fine gentlemen in Moon Tooth!!! It was weird and glorious...so we decided to record on the way (and back) in the car. We listened to all the bands on the undercard and gave our two cents...most we had never listened to before.

And now for something completely different. Jeff is a regular consumer of dorky music theory content and weird boomer guitar videos on YouTube. JD is not.

Nothing really needs to be said here. Mike graced us with over 3 hours of his time to tell stories, laugh, listen to music, discuss the stonerrock.com forums, and talk about the almost incomprehensible ascendance of Yob to the metal pantheon. Our main takeaway after talking with Mike? This is a great guy who simply loves music. Also, the discussion…
