      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! Wait, whaaaaa? Just in time for the much-celebrated Twenty-SIX year anniversary of MxPX! Okay, so...  obviously this is actually part deux of an episode we started last year, acknowledging 25 years of Left Coast Punk Rawk from the Bremertonians, which, though by a very circuitous route, I am happy to say is finally happening. Life is complicated - but you already knew that! Please, enjoy the conclusion to my conversation with these fellas, it was hard-fought and hopefully... won. I sincerely hope to be back with you soon. Let's ROCK!<br />

      <title>#40 - ... from Bremerton</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! Back from the... <em>nearly</em> dead? Nope, just the very busy. Months ago I was able to talk to each member of the now-legendary Bremerton, WA punk rock trio MxPx and somewhere along the way the world got a little crazier than usual. I contemplated updating the intro to this episode but decided NOPE - we're gonna take advantage of this window and GO! My very special thanks to those of you who've waited and waited and waited and still kept the love coming. At some point I will find a way to reward your patience and patronage, until then... why don't we just hang out with Tom, Mike and Yuri? Sounds good to me... enjoy! Part 2 just around the corner...</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! We return to our (somewhat) regularly scheduled programming with a very, very special guest! Once Upon a Time, there was a Girl Named... Leanor Inez Ortega Till! Nobody here named Jeff. Nope. That's right, Leanor of Five Iron Frenzy and The Fast Feeling joins us this week. We'll have us a little chat about this &amp; that &amp; everything else, but mostly about being her own bad self and what that means today - and in the near future. Please: Enjoy!<br />

      <title>#35 - ... a Debate Master!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! Ever found yourself in a debate with an intelligent atheist that left you walking with a slight limp? Any chance said debate was recorded for posterity, so that future generations may witness your demise for time immemorial? Well... you are not alone! This week we discuss my (potentially?) disastrous debate on Bad Christian Joey Svendsen's Pastor with No Answers Podcast, and the clobbering which ensued, with a couple amazing brothers: From Subversive Kingdom's Vox Podcast, Mike Erre and Andy Lara join us! We sort of walk back through the battlefield and see if we can learn a few things... who knows, maybe I'll sound smarter this time!? Enjoy!<br />
<strong>Link Central:</strong><br />
For Mike Erre, Andy Lara and the entire Subversive Kingdom experience, please visit http://subversivekingdom.com (Go there, Never Wases - you won't be sorry. Something amazing is happening...)<br />
For both episodes of the debate discussed here, go to http://www.pastorwithnoanswers.com<br />
And not that they need it, Bad Christian podcast can be found at http://badchristianmedia.com<br />
To hear Godless's excellent takes on all things actually metal, check out http://www.metalsucks.net/author/chuck-godless/<br />
And finally, my suggestion for great podcasts per the ad on today's show, please visit http://www.theliturgists.com</p>
<p>Get in there!!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! This week: as true a tale of Never Was as there Ever Was! Graphic Novelist and at least occasional Stavesacre artist (See both future and past versions of How to Live with a Curse!) Joshua Howard discusses the long and winding road to realizing his dreams... and what comes after. From art school drop out to Dead @ 17 Rebirth - there's quite a story to tell. And not a small amount of the 90's, Tooth &amp; Nail Records and a tiny little town called Dallas, TX in the middle of it all. Enjoy!</p>

      <title>#33 - ... a Solo Artist</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! Welcome back Never Wases!! &quot;Man makes the plans - and God laughs,&quot; right? Now where have we heard that before? Alas, through many a twist and turn, Never Was Podcast returns (for real... probably) and the legendary Riki Michele joins us. The following line was written and rewritten roughly 100 times, and since it never seems quite up to snuff, I'll just lay it out there: once known to some as &quot;the girl singer in Adam Again,&quot; Riki Michele is a solo artist with her own story to tell - and a brand new album, <em>Push</em>, to tell it. Gather round y'all - this one goes way, way back, then lands right in the here &amp; now. Enjoy!<br /><br /><br />
Go visit Riki and say hello at https://www.facebook.com/RikiMicheleMusic<br /><br />
If you'd like to dig a little deeper, check out the Kickstarter that made Push possible here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rikimichele/riki-michele-new-album-project</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! Hey look... it's a new Never Was! 2015 marked the 25 year anniversary of an album largely unknown by the masses, and even by those students of passionate, artistic expression within Christendom: Sin Disease, the debut full length album from punk/alt rock pioneers, Scaterd Few (sic - but you should already know that) I spoke with Allan Aguire about the time period, the process and the experiences that went into this album so many years ago and the impact it had on me and so many others. Because this album was so important to me, I had to call in some backup: We'll hear from Sam West, former drummer of Scaterd Few and eventual drummer of Stavesacre and... Adam Again legend, will-o-wisp mystery solo-artisté and all around lovely person Riki Michele as well! LIGHTS OUUUUUUUT Enjoy!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! Well, this week we have former Dead Poetic lead singer and current t-shirt design maven Brandon Rike! We talk about the things that mean the most to any band that ever was: love, peace, the people who mean the most and ... the Evolution of Band. Tune in for what might be the most perfect hard take on where it all leads (here's a hint: Elvis knew. Very, very briefly.) Enjoy! If you'd like to hear Brandon's takes on the world of design or just take a look at some of the tiny bands (Pearl Jam) that Brandon has designed for (Wu-Tang Clan) please take a (Fall Out Boy) look at (Nine Inch Nails...seriously, these are not jokes) his website: http://www.brandonrike.com And if you'd like to stop by the posthumous Facebook page for Dead Poetic, do that here! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dead-Poetic/8212485663</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings! This week - Part 1 of my conversation with Jim Chaffin: legendary drummer of the Crucified, the Blamed and (occasionally!) Deliverance. Husband to one, father of three and beloved brother to myself and countless others, come hang out with Jim and I for a little while - it'll be good for your soul. There is simply not enough room here to express what this means to me. Over three decades of friendship, triumph and heartbreak can't really be summed up in a few lines on a screen. I invite you to take a long look back with me at the beginning, end and life after The Crucified with one of the best people I know. Enjoy - I believe you will. Jim can be found on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/jim.w.chaffin. If what you hear resonates with you, or if you'd just like to drop Jim a line, DO IT! All things The Crucified can be found at http://www.thecrucified.net/.</p>

Not really) about her life as an expatriate, Hugs, &amp; more- but mostly we discuss her big dilemma: Should she out herself? Hmmm... what is THIS all about? Come on in and find out! Enjoy. You can find links to Black Swift's music at http://www.blackswiftmusic.com and the 99u article containing the quote from Francis Ford Coppola at http://99u.com/articles/6973/Francis-Ford-Coppola-On-Risk-Money-Craft-Collaboration (read it because it's GREAT!)
