100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

It was a very inspirational chat that hits on New York City hardcore, being a movement enthusiast and how to say engaged and inspired.

Episode 186.5 - As a "bonus" episode during the holidays, I decided to try something a bit different with this. I gave my best friend Joey Cahill a call and we went off on a few different subjects like the death of Rdio, trademarking everything and the issues that are plaguing the vinyl pressing plants and record labels attempting to manufacture vinyl. We also bring up two buried treasures of bands that we feel need more attention. Pull up a chair and join us!

We discuss music being the center of our lives, manifesting your own destiny and personal training. It's a deep one, so buckle up and enjoy.
