36. LIFERS - Brian Blockinger

Brian Blockinger will tell you that he’s “just a fan”. But he’s a fan who’s put his money where his mouth is. Brian has worked in and owned record stores, been a tastemaker and a scenester, did time as a record label ninja, and hobnobbed with more rock stars than you’ve had hot meals. Brian is that secret ingredient that enriches your local scene. Without him, the scene just wouldn’t be the same. He’s also the guy who’s got the good stories — and on this episode Brian tells us about getting banned for life from Iron Maiden’s guest list, Cheap Trick teaching him how to drink Dom Perignon, playing Slayer covers for Trouble, and getting yelled at by Phil Anselmo. Also: Scott has Covid and we discuss the proper way to pronounce Zoetrope. Plus! We stumble into our best ending ever.
