Post date February 17, 2026

Sahan Jayasuriya is here to discuss his book, Don’t Say Please: The Oral History of Die Kreuzen, loving living in Milwaukee, benefitting from the reverence that artists like Beastie Boys and Nirvana exhibited for their own influences and favourite musicians, discovering that people like Neko Case, Matt Sweeney, Dave Grohl, and David Pajo all love Die Kreuzen as he was writing a book about them, what compelled him to tell this story and his perspective on the band’s trajectory, legacy, potential reunion shows and reissues, renewed interest in his own band Good Night & Good Morning, future writing prospects, and much more.

Ep. #1055: Pullman

Post author By vish
Post date January 8, 2026

Chris Brokaw, Ken “Bundy K.” Brown, Curtis Harvey, and Doug McCombs are here to discuss III, the first album by Pullman in 25 years, what inspired Pullman to explore acoustic guitar sounds in the late 1990s, the positive but also harsh critical reception their first two albums, 1998’s Turnstyles & Junkpiles and 2001’s Viewfinder received, how Tim Barnes joined Pullman and also his role as the drummer on American Water by Silver Jews, which David Berman had originally invited Chris to appear on and Chris’ feelings about not doing that, the fan mail Berman sent to Chris’ band Come, having Pullman’s second of two New York City shows get cancelled because of 9/11 and what it was like to be in the city that day, Doug’s sudden departure, how Tim contributed to III, Doug’s surprising return, whether Pullman might play shows, everyone’s respective future plans, and much more.
