Having mechanical errors with your car? Is you biplane having trouble starting? Did your hard drive crash recently? Have you gotten your Mogwai wet or fed him after midnight? Well, you might have Gremlins. Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg have both ventured into portraying these cryptozoological creatures. We talk the Mogwai lifecycle, magic wrenches and for some reason William Shatner on this episode.

The Burns Supper is a celebratory tribute to the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns. Celebrated on or about the Bard’s birthday, January 25th, they range from formal gatherings of scholars to uproariously informal parties of drunkards and louts. Join us at our Burns Supper as we try to adhere, more or less, to a time honored celebration which includes the eating of a traditional Scottish meal, the drinking of Scotch whisky, and the recitation of works by the ploughman’s poet.

021-GG Allin?

Rock and roll has a sorted history but no one can touch the lows and highs of G.G.Allin. He is an extremely polarizing figure in Punk rock. Sometimes worshiped, sometimes hated and mostly misunderstood, he blazed his own path through this world. Chris, Joe and long time contributor Darin “Dangerous D” Malfi discuss the life and times of G.G.Allin: The good, bad and the ugly.
