Matt Dresdner and Andy Kessler from the Gits are here to discuss the 2025 Sub Pop reissue of their excellent 1992, debut album, Frenching the Bully, moving to Seattle in 1989 before Nirvana broke, youthful record store hangouts, rock god encounters, CBGBs shows, and seeing Descendents, why Andy initially despised Matt, recalling their late bandmate Mia Zapata, where the Gits might’ve taken their music, if they see their influence in younger musicians, whether there’re more stories to tell about the Gits, a Bob Dylan tangent, this weekend’s Gits celebrations, future plans, and much more.

David Pajo returns to discuss Papa M‘s Ballads of Harry Houdini and provide insights about each song, reflecting upon the profound memorial gathering for Steve Albini that we attended this past July and also Steve’s talents and knowledge-sharing generosity, embracing improvisation and never touching a computer to make his new record, how playing in Tortoise still informs his work, unsettling songs and horror movies, reissuing Slint’s Tweez and releasing Aerial M’s Peel Sessions, making new music, touring with Gang of Four, other future plans, and much more.
