One of the reasons for starting this podcast was to get to interview some of my favourite bands. My history with Propagandhi goes way back and Todd and I get a chance to talk ALL things music. By that I mean of course we talk about their new album but boy do we go DEEP into thrash metal and our very similar experiences in the 80's trying to get hold of records by thrash bands. The news is actual news which start...

One of my favourite days this year was the unveiling of Lemmy's statue in his home town of Burslem. One man was the initial driving force behind the project and that was sculptor Andy Edwards. Here we talk all about the impact the statue has had on the area (BIG) and what the plans are for the Motorhead museum, future events and the whole area, Charles Darwin even gets a mention! Also the news is actual news...

But first we needed to talk about Ozzy ...
