So I Married An Axe Murderer (with Brian Fallon)
Hi friends
Well, I had someone who had to change plans last minute this week, so I texted my friend Brian Fallon, you know, from the Singles episode and said "do you want to talk to me about So I Married An Axe Murderer today" and he said name the time and I'm there.
So, today we welcome back returning guest Brian Fallon to talk about the So I Married An Axe Murderer soundtrack, salsa commercials, Springsteen's cowboy hat era and what a burden writing a song as good as "There She Goes" must be.
You can follow Brian Fallon on Twitter and Instagram, you can follow his band The Gaslight Anthem on Twitter and Instagram

Welcome back. Did you think we were gone forever? Are we really here? V/A Club is back baybeeeeeee. Today we're talking with my good friend Brian Fallon about the soundtrack to the movie Singles, from 1992. You know the one, it's got Pearl Jam in it, before we really knew we loved Pearl Jam so much. It's got Paul Westerberg, freshly away from The Replacements. Screaming Trees, Alive In Chains and so much more.
We also talk about Stranger Things, Zakk Wylde, New Jersey and hand talking and a lot of other divergences. It's fun, we're a fun office.

Angus (w Matty Grace)
Hi friends
We're here, we're back, we're talking about the soundtrack to 1995's Angus. If you've never seen Angus, don't worry! All you need to know is that the soundtrack is incredible, it has a classic Green Day song , a great unheard Weezer song from the best era of Weezer and the Goo Goo Dolls.
Thanks to Matty Grace for joining me on this ride, Matty also wrote "Love Theme to V/A Club", the theme for the podcast
You can find Matty on Twitter and Instagram
You can find Matty's band Cluttered on Twitter and Instagram and Bandcamp
Thanks everyone for supporting the show, it's a lot of work to do on my own and I love you all for listening!
