Ep. #1123: Dead Best

Adam Goren and Brian Sokel from Dead Best are back to discuss GOD: Out of Order, the recent episode I did with !franklin and that band’s status, how Dead Best have evolved as a recording and live music concern, playing music with your kids and why so many young people seem to be so darn good at their instruments now days, thinking about Public Image Ltd., Pailhead, and Lard, a good Nine Inch Nails song appearing on an episode of Twin Peaks, some surprising song subject matter, order and chaos, potentially playing shows, other future plans, and much more.
