Demonic Sweaters Podcast

For Episode 41 of the podcast I did an AMA live on YouTube. This was one of my favorite episodes so far. I had a ton of great questions and talked about everything from producing music, Linux, addiction, health, aging and many other topics. Thank you to everyone who participated in this!

Episode 40 of the podcast I continue my Lincoln days tales and play more music from the era. Including Side B from the first Lincoln 7" and some unreleased Dart Swinger and and Kukim songs. I go over the story of how Lincoln got our van, as well as tour stories and what happened after we broke up and more! https://anthillrecordings.bandcamp.com

In this episode I go back in time to the late 80s and early 90s and talk about the band Lincoln that I played drums in, as well as the history of the band, and play some never before heard songs by the band. This ended up being longer than I anticipated, so I am breaking it up into two episodes.  The Lincoln Hanger show in Wheeling WV with Johanna on bass https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs9zAgLmBvnmrJ0ErsVWxwD-sjA1y86xh Ice Fan Charger Demo Tape https://archive.org/details/IceFanCharger

For episode 38 I decided to record and edit the whole show on my 2005 iBook G4 computer. I used audacity, and it worked just as it should. I talk about booting iBooks from USB and using Transmac to create a bootable mac disc on PC https://www.acutesystems.com/scrtm.htm and, I used Ben Collins' great instructions on working with Open Firmware http://ben-collins.blogspot.com/2010/08/booting-your-ibook-g4-from-usb-stick.html. I also play some new music of mine, as well as the 90s Miami band Machete. I talk more about Aspartame poison and the Netflix true crime documentary, Abducted in Plain Sight. Then I talk about someone who has been inspiring me lately, Tom Bilyeu.

On 1/1/2019 Joe Maier started making a song and video a day and uploading them to YouTube Check it out at - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC44yL52Oj6bBkhPygdkhO4w I met him on Reddit sometime in early January and decided to ask him to join me on the podcast. We had a great talk and I think you'll like listening. We discuss his motivations of starting the project, YouTube, punk shows, and the difference between the 90s and now. 

Ep 36 I get into the weirdness of the post-truth era, how it's literally impossible to research things on the internet, working your final two weeks somewhere you already quit, anti-inflammatory drugs and natural alternatives, Ted Bundy and porn addiction. I also touch on some upcoming videos and talk about overcoming envy and jealousy, as well as play some songs.

Episode 31 – OLY!! I start out this episode with a short tribute to Jim Marrs, who passed away on August 2nd 2017. Jim Marrs was one of my favorite authors and speakers and I’ve brought him up many times on this show.  Then Oly stopped by on Skype for her second appearance on the DS podcast and we had a fun and hilarious conversation about music, recording, shows, dogs, relationships, and dating. Then we switched it up a bit and Oly interviewed me for a while which was a lot of fun. Oly is a musician and photographer from Miami, FL https://o-l-y.tumblr.com Music on this episode:Cosmo Boy http://demonicsweaters.tumblr.com/musicXicara da Coruja https://anthillrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/xicara-da-coruja

Chad and Justin return after a few month hiatus to talk about Richard Shaver, Twin Peaks, Ray Palmer, Gobekli Tepe, funny stories, and people that claim they have no visual component of their brains.  This was a pretty fun podcast, and one of our best episodes to date! links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sharpe_Shaver http://www.whale.to/c/shaver.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Beebe http://www.subterraneanbases.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6lm6cda5DI https://archive.org/details/RichardS.Shaver-IRememberLemuria http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=richard+shaver+rock+books&FORM=HDRSC2 https://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-Twin-Peaks-Novel/dp/1250075580/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498823949&sr=8-1&keywords=secret+history+of+twin+peaks https://www.amazon.com/Eighth-Tower-Ultraterrestrials-Superspectrum/dp/193839819X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498823978&sr=8-1&keywords=the+8th+tower music on this episode provided by Curb Cobain and deluxepaint 418 Richard Sharpe Shaver (October 8, 1907 Berwick, Pennsylvania – November 5, 1975 Summit, Arkansas) was an American writer and artist. Shaver's stories continued to appear in Amazing after Howard Browne replaced Ray Palmer as editor. Even after his work fell out of favor with Amazing readers, Ray Palmer continued to publish Shaver in other genre magazines. A special issue of Fantastic devoted to the "Shaver Mystery" was published in 1958He achieved notoriety in the years following World War II as the author of controversial stories that were printed in science fiction magazines (primarily Amazing Stories), in which he claimed that he had had personal experience of a sinister, ancient civilization that harbored fantastic technology in caverns under the earth. The controversy stemmed from the claim by Shaver, and his editor and publisher Ray Palmer, that Shaver's writings, while presented in the guise of fiction, were fundamentally true. Shaver's stories were promoted by Ray Palmer as "The Shaver Mystery". During the last decades of his life, Shaver devoted himself to "rock books"—stones that he believed had been created by the advanced ancient races and embedded with legible pictures and texts. He produced paintings based on the rock images and photographed the rock books extensively, as well as writing about them. Posthumously, Shaver has gained a reputation as an artist and his paintings and photos have been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere.

For episode number 4, Chad and Justin were actually together in the same room for a change at Chad's house in Morgantown, WV. What ensued was a great impromptu conversation about everything from cars, to USPS fails, how we met in grade school, Justin got expelled from Jr. High School, terrible things we did in school, and then we move to a great conversation about creativity and how to maintain passion and creativity amidst our busy lives.  This episode was a lot of fun to record and we hope you all like it as much as we do!
