  • Good guy Better music podcast

    Brian is a very charismatic host. Very knowledgeable about music. There are very few bands that I mention to him that he doesn’t already know, at least, to some degree.

    His interviews are always interesting. And it’s fun to see where the mixtape will go.

    No matter what genre of music you like there is an episode for you.

    This show is a ton of fun and brings back the memories of making mixtapes back in the day

Q: What was it like dealing with that kind of controversy at the height of this song blowing up?
It was everything that I had hoped it to be. My ultimate plan was not only to be the worst band in the world, but to also disturb the Jell-O company that they would come after me.
