Host and Guest Episode 50 part 1: Tom Fuchs

After another prolonged absence, Host and Guest returns with beloved guest Tom Fuchs. As is tradition when he's on the problem, Tom takes a look back at the previous year's films and discusses the ones he enjoyed and hated. As is tradition, it's NSFW and gets off-track.

Thank you for your continued support of Host and Guest.

Host and Guest Episode 49: Evan Pilak of Peshtigo

On this edition of the program, Rick is joined by Evan Pilak of the group Peshtigo. Peshtigo's music reflects the music of the 80s featured in knockoffs of John Hughes movies. Their first live show is Saturday, August 27th at the Cactus Club where they will perform first (aim to arrive around 9:30 if you're cool enough to attend). Their joke song "Permission to Party" was recently criticized by the Christian group ACNRA (http://acnra.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/peshtigo-terror/)
In addition to the interview, Evan also performed "Sad Song" from Peshtigo's eventual debut album.
