The interview went well, even if things did seem a little hurried. Matt P. was wearing a Rumbleseat t-shirt, which instantly became a source of embarrassment when it turned out that Chris Wollard of that band (and HOT WATER MUSIC) happened to be at the house. Matt P. instantly became "that guy" - pretty funny. Linda took photos (which you will see soon enough) and everyone was eating lollipops.

Brian and Pete talked to us about the band's 20-year history, their innovative plan for releasing music throughout '09, and much more. Expect a video teaser very soon! the interview will air in its entirety on July 24 as part of episode 34.

Tonight the ISSUE ORIENTED crew zips down to Asbury Park, NJ, for a chat with the legendary BOUNCING SOULS. Preview photos and video will be up this week, and the full interview will air on ISSUE ORIENTED (the podcast) episode 34, which premieres on July 24!
