Barry, Abigail, and special guest Pete Coe discuss Pete’s “Phone-a-Friend” submission, 13 Songs by Fugazi, and sample Rust and Ruin, Avulsion, and Inhume from Ghost Town Brewing in Oakland, California.

We talked a bit about Ian MacKaye, the frontman of Fugazi and owner/co-founder of Dischord Records, the famous Washington, D.C.-based independent punk rock label. Read more about Dischord Records.

Pete Coe’s band Shack once opened for Deftones! (Later, Shack changed its name to Zeta Reticuli.)

See the famous photo of Guy Picciotto singing while hanging from a basketball hoop.

Ghost Town’s can art/aesthetic reminded Abigail of the can art/aesthetic of Burial Beer Co. in Asheville, North Carolina. You can listen to our review of Burial’s beer on our season one episode: Consumers of the Barley (The Raconteurs and Burial Beer Co.).

Pete also plugged Healthy Spirits, a San Francisco-based liquor store where he bought today’s beer selection.

Abigail heard the “Midnight Oil pipe bang” in Burning. Pete shared that it was Brendan Canty’s bell, which you can see as part of the drum kit in this photo!

Barry entered Suggestion into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Secret Journey by The Police.

Pete compared Ian MacKaye’s style of octave guitar playing to that of Wes Montgomery, a famous jazz guitarist.

Much like Burning has a sequel in Burning Too, originally from separate EPs, Provisional has a sequel in Reprovisional on Fugazi’s subsequent album, Repeater + 3 Songs.

Pete is currently narrating for the Bloomberg Weekend Edition, which can be heard on their app. He also voiced Mo the Sloth, who teaches children about mindfulness and meditation, for tonies®.
