If we are to follow official accounts, then Admission (released last week on SKiN GRAFT Records) is the 26th album by Chicago's Cheer-Accident. Word has it that the album may be the band's best ever. And while it would serve no one to get caught up in hyperbole, it is indeed a great album.

Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Thymme Jones has been at the helm of the band since its inception in 1981. How much could really be covered in one hour? Well, enough to discuss the latest record, the band's forthcoming North American tour, long-time collaborator (and recent Whatever Comes Next guest) Todd Rittmannm, Steve Albini, and the impact of punk rock (if you're asking).
