Check my chat with the world’s coolest bat. Eric dishes on everything from songwriting to puke-bearded Philadelphians.


The Doggone Girl is Mine

UsedWigs Radio Podcast 73 is an iceskating, bun-baking, polarizing music and little person sundae with a Julia Brown interview cherry on the top.

If you weren’t able to attend last weekend’s UsedWigs Live ’10, check out the show intro, then print out all of these photos and make a flip book. It’s better than living your life in regret.


Ani-Mates

Video masterminds Kenjamin Franklin and Jandek Phil of the After School Specialists (afterschoolspecialists.com) crafted a glorious little cartoon (literally) illustrating Russ’s love of spreadsheets. Harvested from a 2008 podcast and recently unveiled at UsedWigs LIVE ’10… enjoy Space Thunder Kids.
