    Quick Taps - Po-Po Pitiful Me

    On this particularly arresting Quick Tap (short episodes with short stories for short attention spans), Lyle Hysen and Jim Walters from Das Damen get pulled over and accused of smuggling human contraband; The Children and Cop Shoot Cop’s Jim Coleman almost gets busted over a band name; Gravity Studios owner and chief engineer Doug McBride gets swatted by the competition; and Foghat bassist Nick Jameson doesn’t heed the words of the band’s hit song “Slow Ride” and gets in trouble with the highway patrol.

This podcast goes to 11

I’ve listened to every episode. Alex and Alan have me laughing out loud every time. Great guests and incredible stories. I highly recommend this podcast.

Relatable!

I knew I would love hearing all the crazy behind the scenes stories from my favorite bands. What I didn’t know was that the stories would also entail such thoughtfulness about how perseverance, drive, happenstance and creativity helped them get from one place to the next. I love hanging out with all of them! Listen to one episode and you’ll be hooked, and even if you’re not familiar with the guests I guarantee you will be soon.

Exclusive insight and loads of fun!!!!! I ♥️ TMEP

“We were being original when that wasn’t a sin”

Keller and Hoffman’s podcast is a space for geeks to geek, and truths to truth. With DEVO’s very own Jerry Casale, they discuss the paradigm shift from substance to style in the 1980s music world, the value of collaboration, and commercialization in art. Getting these sentimental and hilarious spinal tap stories & musings from the horse’s mouth is so special, and so worth the listen.
