We’ve got Drew Ailes (aka David Lunch, aka Egg Norton) from Minneapolis punk outfit Citric Dummies. We spend a suspicious amount of time talking about the horrors of SEO and marketing because, apparently, being a punk doesn’t pay for the artisanal bread anymore. Drew explains how his background in “mucking about with systems” on the internet led to a career in corporate consulting, and why having a drummer who is actually a musical genius is the only reason the band hasn’t folded in on itself.
Expect tangents on the “blokey-bloke” culture of Oasis, the mystery of what on earth Arby’s is, and why John Peel is the patron saint of record nerds. We also touch on the lighthearted topic of the political chaos in Minneapolis and ICE agents eating at the very Mexican restaurants they’re supposed to be patrolling. You know, the usual cheery stuff.
