Brandon is missing!!! (Ok, not really, we just really like the opening crawl to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.) Actually, he is taking a (hopefully) brief vacation visiting Re-Education Camp to talk about their new LP "Challenge the League" which drops May 19th. You can get an early copy now for only $3 on Patreon, and as a bonus you get instant access to our entire catalog of 25 albums reaching back to 2001. Visit http://badapplerecords.net/re-education-camps-challenge-league-details/?utm_source=Podcast%20Show%20Notes&utm_term=Challenge%20the%20League for details on this, the official album release, upcoming music videos, and more...

In This Episode:
• Who is "the league" and why are we challenging them?
• Collaboration vs. producing solo
• What makes art edgy, and does that always make it better?
• Why does Rob Thomas always look so pissed/horrified?
• Help the Police: https://youtu.be/4Kf4kyQabwQ
• Is Doc Johnny whiter than Sinbad? (Spoiler: No)
• Joe the Manager hacks up a hairball
• More about the tracks "7 O'Clock" and "Acoustic Leviathan"
• more...

Brandon throws out his shoulder working out and finds out that oven mitts are not ideal for ice packs. Sarah is the hash tag queen, but she forgets the name of Betty White's character in the Golden Girls.

And the wait is finally over... for some of you. Sempevivi is dropping the full band "Always Alive" EP on April 4th, but you can have it today if you support Bad Apple Records on Patreon! Details in the show and on our website. We're also debuting the music video for "So Close" today (links below) while Derek brings us a round table interview with the cast and crew including director Ryan Staples in today's episode. Boobies, everyone.

We're getting very close to the full band EP release from Sempervivi, "Always Alive" as well as Re-Education Camp's "Challenge the League" LP! Brandon also discusses a dream he had about a band that doesn't exist and a record that will never be made - and why it makes him so sad.

Brandon and Sarah are puppy sitting again. Hear Brandon narrate the experience of stepping in pee while trying to give various updates and praise for the film Arrival. We also discuss the stigma around cover bands in the independent music scene.

Then Bad Apple artist Bethany Pedigo brings us an interview with her friend Aimee Congdon of Band Zazzy. Aimee will be performing some guest vocals on Bethany's upcoming debut LP, but her band has been performing pretty heavily in and around Bowling Green, KY for the last year or so. Starting out as a cover band, they are also starting to work on their first round of original material...

On the way home, this car hears our confessions... Sorry, bad 2000 era Dashboard joke. Also sorry for the background noise. We recorded this one in the car heading back from a Super Bowl party, and we need a new muffler in the Nissan. The Atlanta Falcons made Super Bowl History in the first ever Super Bowl overtime game, but they ultimately came up short in the end despite their huge lead throughout most of the game. Sarah accuses Brandon of pretending to care.

We also talk about the joys of puppy sitting. No one knows who Amber Rollins is. Brandon needed moral support. Alexander wants you to have fun. Also, Sempervivi's Derek Price will serve as our first roving reporter with a series of interviews starting next week. Ra-Ra-Ooh-la-la...

DEAR GOD THE HEAVY BREATHING IS BACK! To be fair, Brandon was washing pots and pans and getting ready to cook hot wings for his Royal Rumble party while recording this week's intro. Let's look back to last December's tour and our adventures changing a tire between Chicago and Paducah, where we made a stop at our favorite little watering hole... Dry Ground Brewing!

Making it more fun, it was Repeal Day! As in "repeal prohibition" (although Brandon mistakenly calls it Prohibition Day in the intro... which is quite the opposite idea altogether). We sit around the fire after the show with Andy and Tyler from Why They Came, Derek from Sempervivi, Brandon from All Around the Dinner Table, Josh Lott (longtime friend and former drummer of Stellar Kin), and Cory Greene from Dry Ground Brewing. It was lit. Not us, the fire. Ok, most of us were lit too. Tyler might have fallen asleep once or twice. But it was a lot of fun!

Sarah is pissed about the Packers losing to the Falcons. Not to mention she nearly gave herself a concussion walking into a "Free WiFi" sign at the park.

Plus hear another interview from the road while on tour last month! Brandon and Derek interview our new friends from JPUSA in Chicago. After a killer house show, we interview Justin Filizola (Leper, The Ghost Servant), his wife Megan (who grew up at JPUSA), and Teel Short (who was kind enough to share a song with us). This was certainly our first interview over a live game of scrabble, but it was a lot of fun! Learn what JPUSA is all about, what they do to serve the city of Chicago, what happened to the Cornerstone Music Festival and how AudioFeed is now filling the void (though unaffiliated with JPUSA officially).

We're back... Brandon's heavy breathing and all (don't worry, he's been planking and trying to eat better this year)!

Brandon and Sarah talk about the Green Bay Packers, Mario Brothers, superstition, being tired, petty revenge, Why They Came's latest LP, and set up our first interview from the road while on tour last month. Brandon, Derek, Andy, and Tyler sit down with photographer Brian Powell (http://www.brianpowell.info) after performing for the second year in a row at his photography studio (http://www.secondlevelstudios.com).

In the coziest, hearthiest home on earth, we sit by the fire and discuss Brian's venture from lighting and still photography into videography including his collaboration with Jon Doss at Sublime Wedding Films for the wedding of Pomplamoose's Nataly and Jack (see the finished product at http://sublimeweddingfilms.com/nataly-jack-a-pomplamoose-wedding). We also discuss Peanuts, Indiana Jones, 2016, and more...

Next week we'll have an interview with some new friends we made at JPUSA in Chicago!

Zack is also a history and politics buff. He enjoys cooking and home brewing, reading, and... you know what? Zack is just the freaking man, ok? Trust us on this one.

We continue our discussion with our own Lexington based MC and bassist hip-hop duo Re-Education Camp (check out last week's episode if you missed that) talking about Jon's work with CLEAR in Lexington as well as an assortment of political, racial, and social issues. How exactly do you talk with a loved one about your differing views on these matters? Is it sometimes best to walk away from these conversations? Is it dangerous to make assumptions concerning one's motivations?

If Sgt. Slaughter received death threats when they turned him against America, then who the hell does Colin Kaepernick think he is to get away with it?!? (sarcasm, just in case you read that out of context...)

Introducing a debut song from our newest addition to the family, "It's Raining in the Oort Cloud" by 12 Parsecs to Home, whose debut "Tales From Sol" will be available from Bad Apple Records this Halloween!

We also officially award Zack Messick the "hardest working artist" of 2016 award for being one half of the Lexington duo Re-Education Camp, the live bassist for full band sets from both All Around the Dinner Table and Sempervivi, producer for independent releases like "Nu Growf" by Rmllw2llz, and now the mastermind behind his solo effort.

Now is the time to consider chipping in at the $3 per month level on Patreon (www.badapplerecords.net/support) and be first in line for "Tales From Sol" this Halloween, Why They Came's "Holy War Hymnal" LP this Thanksgiving, and two Christmas releases from both Why They Came and Re-Education Camp. We're also kicking of 2017 already working on All Around the Dinner Table's "From the Mouths of Sheep" LP, new family member Bethany Pedigo's debut LP, Sempervivi full band EP, Re-Education Camp's "Challenge the League" LP, a side project from Andy Barnett, and who knows what else...

Help us fill our last couple of nights on tour at www.badapplerecords.net/booking (we still need help in Dallas and Little Rock).
