Holy Crap Ted’s on “End On End!!”

Ted’s talking about the Fugazi debut EP – Guy’s on in the 2nd half – go listen here:

FUGAZI “S/T” / Guy Picciotto and Ted Niceley
Listen now

Show Notes: Hard to believe we’re already at the first Fugazi record. This one was huge for us (and we’re not just talking the length of the episode!). Join Brian, Jeff and recurring guest/cohost Ben, if you dare. No doubt this is a long ride, but well worth the time invested. Not only do you get to hear us all rap elegiac about this perfect 12″, but  Fugazi producer, Ted Niceley lends his time and insight into the making of this classic. Later in the show we have an engaging and thoughtful conversation with Guy Picciotto. Listen in chunks!
