The boys headed to Austin this weekend and for some reason thought it would be a good idea to roll pink (record) while driving down I-35. This special episode is the outcome of that.

Surprise, you get an extra episode this week! Susie, Matt, and Dustin took a trip up to Denton to see the 2016 Do For It Showcase for 35 Denton at the Abbey Underground. The results were captured on an SD Card and then converted for your own audio enjoyment. Feast your ears on interviews and songs from Shaolin Death Squad, Convoy and the Cattlemen, Mountain of Smoke, The Raven Charter, and In Memory of Man. Please remember this is a live show from a venue so the audio isn’t going to be perfect, but at least you get to enjoy a little of what the boys got to be a part of!
A big thanks to James and the entire Do For It team/family. We had a fantastic time, and we hope to be a part of it again in the future!
Sunday Matt and I got to sit down with one of the got to sit down with The Kapt’n, Sasha of KMFDM as they rolled through Dallas and played Gas Monkey Live. If the big four of thrash/metal are Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth then the big four of industrial/electronic music have to be Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and KMFDM. I have been a huge fan of KMFDM since my angst fueled years in junior high, and I’ve been fortunate enough to hangout with the band the last few times they have rolled through North Texas. But on Sunday we spent 10 hours at the venue, hanging with the band and road crew, watching the inner works of a complex live show. The episode is a little chaotic because shortly after we started the interview, the tour manager came by and needed the guys for soundcheck. So we did a little mini show with Matt ‘Robotuner’ Thomas and as soon as soundcheck was complete, Sasha joined us again to finish it out. The second half is an absolutely fascinating insight to the world of KMFDM, the bands history, and life on the road with family. I really hope you guys enjoy it! -Dustin
Every year our friends over at the Ned Files have an annual bracket game that they like to call the Hump Games. It consists of both male and female brackets to see who that years most hump-able person is. This year the JJTM boys were invited to play and Dustin’s pick of Lucy Collett aka Lucy Vixen has made it to the finals. But he’s up against some stiff competition and needs the help of you guys to put him over the top and crown Miss Lucy Vixen as the Queen of the Hump Games!
