606 Reach Out All Night

Mike just got back from Denver and he's not done with your voicemails. Episode 606 wraps up the meet-and-greet conversation from Episode 604 with fan stories that span 1995 to today, plus cover song what-ifs, Screeching Weasel split ideas, show intros, and turning 40.   Fresh off the Mission Ballroom in Denver with MxPx, Goldfinger, Zebrahead, and Homegrown, Mike opens with upcoming Warped Tour dates, a new album update, the Punkadeka Festival in Milan on September 5, and a Pacific Northwest show coming at the end of August (TBA). Then it's another round of voicemails responding to Episode 604's meet-and-greet moment, with fans from all over sharing what they actually saw at those shows. Mike also gets into the real story behind Left Coast Live, why his Orange Creamsicle Sterling by Music Man hasn't made it into an MxPx set yet, cover songs that almost were (The Clampdown, Highway to Hell), and what On the Cover 3 might look like. Plus: Mike gives himself a D in Spanish, shares his method for breaking creative blocks, breaks down the psychology of show intros, and talks turning 40 with no party.
