Chapter 66 - Sun Voyager
Thursday Feb 18, 2021
Thursday Feb 18, 2021
We once again return to the Hudson Valley with the very awesome Sun Voyager. Our cipher is shooting the shit with Carlos and Stefan, the least of which includes the legacy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, having a moment for The Castle, finding tactical residence in New Jersey, blazing out to Ecstatic Vision's demo, the rewarding and frustrating aspects of being too heavy for psych and too light for doom, bloody nights in New Paltz, why they jacked and ditched their original name, playing the Melt Asia Festival with Raekwon while their drummer "pulled a gun" on Pete from The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Coxsackie cranks, craft beer, the missing bass head story, and more!

Chapter 65 - Irene the Black Metal Pastry Chef
Thursday Feb 11, 2021
Thursday Feb 11, 2021
Hope your sweet tooth is primed (and it should be, you dirt weed smoking reprobates). Our good friend Irene, otherwise known as the Black Metal Pastry Chef on the interwebs, is joining us for this chapter of the Diary, talking about seeing Blood Incantation on Valentine's Day (the cipher was featured in a Stereogum article about it, read it here, and yes, he totally keeps saying Kerrang), blasting Cloud Rat to wake up in the AM, navigating the hostile territory of the power violence scene, dropping out of university to fall into a career as a pastry chef, the science of baking, why the cake/apple pie debate is dumb, weed treats and Sunn O))) peanut butter tarts, why baking to music is a must, heavy metal getting cute, and Morbid Angel Food Cake.
Also featuring a guest appearance throughout by a man aggressively trying to back his car out of a snowbank.

Chapter 64 - Earl Walker Lundy - Shadow Witch

Thursday Feb 04, 2021
Mississippi native Earl Walker Lundy is radioing in from his Hudson Valley haunt to cover all manner of topics during the years leading up to his current band Shadow Witch, including wolf moons, looking up to Cousin Chris Ethridge, playing slide guitar with a knife, shape-note singing, joining one of the first punk bands in the land of the Delta Blues (and becoming an unintended house band), why he plays and explores barefoot, Appalachian hillbilly music, opening for Corrosion of Conformity, keeping busy with collaborations, and taking it back to the cave.
