Never Was Podcast

#41 - ... a frequent Podcaster

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 04:00:00 +0000

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!

#40 - ... from Bremerton

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 7 Nov 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Greetings! Back from the... nearly 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...

#39 - ... a Nurse

Greetings! We're back again and we brought a friend! Five Iron Frenzy's very own Reese Roper is here y'all. We talk about the beginning, the end, the afterlife and... poop. Oh and, dearest Never Wases: Basic tracks for Stavesacre's upcoming album - made possible largely by YOU - are DONE. What does that have to do with podcasts? Well, as it turns out quite a lot. Guess you just have to find out... inside.

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 04:00:00 +0000

Greetings! Best remedy for a long overdue show? How about a long show?! That's right, Never Wases... got an hour and a half of pure aural bliss: Tonight we go back... WAY back. Like decades back. We are going to talk with a bonafide prodigy, the one and only Mr. Todd Stevens - aka, XL of XL and Death Before Dishonor. We're gonna talk afros, hot sauce, people in the trees and... how to keep a marriage together in spite of them all. (Hint: it involves Jesus) Happy to be back, happy to have your time and happy to have this baby wrapped up... Enjoy!

Nope. That's right, Leanor of Five Iron Frenzy and The Fast Feeling joins us this week.

#35 - ... a Debate Master!

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 10 May 2016 04:00:00 +0000

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!
Link Central:

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 & Nail Records and a tiny little town called Dallas, TX in the middle of it all. Enjoy!

#33 - ... a Solo Artist

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 04:00:00 +0000

Greetings! Welcome back Never Wases!! "Man makes the plans - and God laughs," 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 "the girl singer in Adam Again," Riki Michele is a solo artist with her own story to tell - and a brand new album, Push, to tell it. Gather round y'all - this one goes way, way back, then lands right in the here & now. Enjoy!

Go visit Riki and say hello at https://www.facebook.com/RikiMicheleMusic

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

Greetings! We are back with part 2 of my conversation with Randy Torres of NYVES and (formerly) Project 86 - and it's gonna get a little awkward.

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 05:00:00 +0000

Greetings! Notice anything weird around here? Does anything seem slightly different? Yes? Well, that's because something IS DIFFERENT! Welcome the very first Never Was Podcastrophe! I give the necessary details on the show, but suffice to say, this is the start of a new and improved Never Was for season 2 - we'll still have guests as often as possible, but for those times in-between...

#28 - ... an Extremist

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 5 Jan 2016 05:00:00 +0000

Greetings! Three old friends walk into a bar... well, two of them were smart enough to duck, the other one is writing this terrible joke. (Whatever- it wasn't even a bar anyway, it was some cheeky community office space thing) Yes, it's true, like a three-fold cord of grumpiness, Mike Lewis of Giving is Believing, Billy Power of Urban Achiever and yours truly all got together to solve all the world's problems, right before Christmas, in the Greatest City in the World. As you've probably been dealing with any number of those problems today.... why not hang around with us an find out why we didn't get much done? (Hint: GUNNNNZ) Come! Warm yourself by the fires of the Podcastalypse, weary Never Wases! Enjoy!

For the full 3 hours of this conversation, please join Mike at Giving is Believing and Billy at Urban Achiever for not only the full chat but also their own reflections on what we hope - but don't necessarily plan - is a regular thing. Gotta get started on our own traditions sometime - no better place than NYC, no better time than NOW!

#27 - ... First

mr.m.salomon@gmail.com (Mark Salomon) — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 05:00:00 +0000

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!

This week Matt Johnson is back, along with our good friend Mike Lewis and a few of you Never Wases, talking about... hidden messages, mysterious ways, flowers in the concrete; from the way followers of Jesus are portrayed in popular culture to why it doesn't really matter.

Greetings! Since the beginning of our short journey, I've been saying that I wanted a conversation and well... I believe we have one. This week I read and answer some letters while discussing the The Dark Side, Petty Douchebaggery and The Worst Advice Ever. Enjoy!

Greetings! Ever told yourself that one day you'd get rid of everything and see the world? Yeah? How's that going? This week: Meet a workin' man, artist Tony Streeter - a mere mortal, like you and me - as he talks about doing that very thing. Take a listen! (Unless you're already doing that right now, in which case... SEE IT ALL. We'll still be here when you get back.) Enjoy! Check out Tony's art website at cicadagrove.com. Read blogs from the Streeter's world travels at thatswhereyouare.com.

Greetings! In an effort to satiate your thirst for football, the Super Bowl and of course... SCANDAL! I talk a little Seahawks vs. Patriots (and... others) with my good friends actor Vincent Stalba, MxPx guitarist Tom Wisniewski and the one and only Big Daddy JLove himself, Mr. James Reynolds. Balls, crotches and controversy galore!
