    About this Episode

    The Long Island music scene is best known through some of the biggest bands that came out of the area such as Taking Back Sunday, Glassjaw and Brand new. But, it would be tough to find a band that came out of that era in the late 90's that wouldn't cite Silent Majority as an influence and speak on the proficiency ot their lead singer, lyricist and consummate front man, Thomas Corrigan. Tommy has been cited more than a few times in previous podcasts and we were excited that he agreed to give us some time to talk about everything in his musical life from the first moment he heard a punk band through to his very emotional last show of his career. Being that Tom has an impeccable memory and a knack for storytelling, he gave us more than just a strict timeline of his life. He gave us an honest take on various points in his life and his background on other interests in his life such as Straightedge, Graffiti, T-shirt Design and Fishing. "I'm out of the Game" says Tommy more than once in this interview. And although we may never get to see him on-stage again, it's clear why he has left a lasting impression on his audiences and listeners, both large and small. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "To me this is a life style and not some silly trend And years from now when they're all gone I pray that we're still friends" ---Thomas Corrigan MUSIC https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Mw7DZ0aCMxNzj43lUfvbX https://capitallihc.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/capitalLIHC/ MERCH https://silentmajority.merchdirect.com/categories/all OTHER INTERESTS https://www.surfcastersjournal.com/ http://www.diwulf.com/books/urbanstyles

    Michael Dubin "Never Fade Away"

    Michael Dubin "Never Fade Away"
    We had a great conversation with our friend Michael Dubin. Although Michael is mostly associated with his photography in some circles, in many other  circles we talk about the many other projects and music-oriented stuff he is known-for. We talk about how he started and ran Fadeaway Records in 1999 (with the help of Neil),which released the first Movielife and which was active for 4 years. After a 10 year break, the label was relaunched as a non-profit with the "Friends" Comp. A 3xLP comp featuring 37 unreleased songs with 100% of the proceeds being donated to cancer research (http://www.fadeawayrecords.com/indexFRNDS.html).
     
    Dubin discusses his Radio show on K-Rock (one of the biggest rock radio station in the country) for 6 years 2004 - 2010 which was  recorded in his house.
     
    Micahel also discusses the traveling music photo show featuring the work of 5 photographers from the 90's through the early 2000's called " Sti;; Screaming"  Which featured galleries in Philly, Boston, DC, Venice Beach, Oakland, NYC and Montclair, NJ. 
     
    Dubin talks about some of the bands hes managed and (and helped in an unofficial manner)  and also the band he is currently managed now, a band from Brooklyn called Common Sage.

    Paul Bearer "Not My Monkeys, Not My Circus"

    Paul Bearer "Not My Monkeys, Not My Circus"

    Since the day I started this podcast, Paul Bearer was and remained on my list of top 5 people that I had wanted to interview for more than one reason.

    I'm sure that its clear to almost anyone who has seen him play on any stage anywhere during his over 35 year career in music that he is one of the most unique front-men the hardcore/punk scene has ever had. Its an enduring legacy that persists because Paul is known as much for the great material he's been making for all those years on records as much as his for his classic rants, wit and epic storytelling in between the songs.

    So, as satisfying and almost familiar as it was to hear Paul speak in a way that reflected the lyrics and stage persona that many of us have come to know and expect over the years, it was intriguing and gratifying to hear him speak in a deep, caring and profound way. He showed a side I had never really seen before and spoke of things I had never heard in previous interviews.
