Episode 8: 1992 was a dark year for Boy And Man Band.

We’re In A Band!

In this 8th and final episode, Mike has a surprise for the band (it’s probably not a keytar, like Jase’s surprise, but it MIGHT be)!

Nick regales us with the legend of J. 4-Loco! Mike starts to feel old when he’s out-hipster’d by younger hipsters at a Bluegrass concert. Jase, once again, can’t get through a single story without mentioning his desire to fellate at least one Hanson.

We each share some of our most embarrassing moments in our musical lives, from choking on some basic a Capella scales in front of the whole 6th-grade choir class, including the girl Jase loves, to having embarrassing band members, to flubbing entire sections of songs in front of tons of people, the life of a performing musician is never dull. We’ve all learned to handle it differently, but all in healthy ways, like, for instance, Nick just never stops doing or saying embarrassing things and Jase has just accepted that he can’t sing on key. Like, ever.

We listen to Def Leppard’s new symphonic album, discuss Whitney Houston’s hits, and talk about Dwight David Eisenhower & Tina Turner’s music (she died on the same day Bob Dylan was born. Coincidence?!?! Different years, of course, that overlap, but still… COINCIDENCE?!?!?). Nick goes on to mention a whole bunch of people no one’s ever heard of who had birthdays.

Tune in next week for our next final episode where we’ll surely discuss… something, probably. Who knows. Who cares? Does anyone even read this?

I REALLY hope Mike's surprise is also a keytar...
