Gordcast

NATHAN ALFARO joins Paul and Gordie for a three coast meet up. We begin with the weather, a GORDCAST opening songs re-cap and head onto music matters. REM, PRINCE, BWANA DEVILS and the never before told story of an unreported MONKEES reunion at PAUL WILLIAMS house. Nathan goes sailing and we mull over the VAN HALEN reunion, BLACK SABBATH O.G. style and how cool PETER BUCK is. We cap it off with some movie talk and pledge to do more Gordcasts.

An impromptu Gordcast rises from a sound check run through. Paul works with Photoshop and Gordie likes Curves, leading to learning riffs with KISS, from the Destroyer sessions. Gordie sends cryptic texts to Paul, which leads to not watching a documentary and much talk of Record Stores and how Comic Shops also leave you feeling pleasant. ABSOLUTELY SANE JOHNS, LOONEY TOONS, THE SMALL FACES, BEATLES COMIC BOOKS, TRAGEDY, LEO SLAYER, XANADUDES AND R.E.M. are all covered. Gordie explains the howthe POST OFFICE works around the holidays and Paul plans Thanksgiving.

Gordie is on meds from having a tooth pulled and Paul meets ACE FREHLEY and gives a Halloween update. Gordie listens to Rap music at WALKER RYANS PRO PARTY and gives glaring omissions from the DEBUT ALBUM episode. Naked people, MARILLION, ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINK, TOM JONES, JEFF BECK, BECK, OASIS, ROCKPILE, DAVE EDMUNDS, NICK LOWE, BRIAN WILSON, SPOTIFY and BIG COUNTRY come up.

Gordie and Paul talk about the occupy Wall Street revolution and HALLOWEEN! PHIL COSTELLO punches a guy, Paul gets claustrophobic in the crowd and defends JOHN COUGAR MELLEN-BLARP. We discuss ROGER DALTREY touring TOMMY live, take a few detours and settle in on HALLOWEEN memories and some of our costumes over the years. Gordie likes WONDERFUL WEBLOG (http://wonderfulwonderblog.blogspot.com) and gets his candy stolen. They both saw VAN HALEN when BTO opened for them, Paul has a job and Gordie sings a little.

Gordie goes on a nerd blind date with DAVID PRICE from Eleven O' Clock Comics. If you don't like Gordie's voice, this is the one for you. Who knew DAVID could talk non-stop for two hours straight! David tells us about every town he's lived in, how he met RENEE and meeting knuckleheads at comic cons that lead to podcast empires. We both root for the bull, have animal empathy and are oblivious to bi-racial relationship condemnation and sideways glances.  David says he will come back to another GORDCAST for an actual back and forth conversation and Gordie heads to A.P.E.  Another loooong episode, so enjoy!

Gordie and Paul take a stab at structure and discuss the best live and debut albums from their musical histories. We begin with NAPA TRIVIA, the breakup of R.E.M and then move into our lists: KISS, CHEAP TRICK, FRAMPTON, PRIEST, VAN HALEN, PETE TOWNSHEND, NEIL YOUNG, STING, RAMONES, GEORGE HARRISON, PORCUPINE TREE, TOOL, MC5, SMITHEREENS, BOSTON, IRON MAIDEN, BIG COUNTRY, BEEGEES, DOORS  and...     oh my gosh, just about every band, ever! Gordie sings and Paul shows a little bit of empathy.  This one goes a little longer than usual, so strap in!

Gordie and Paul are all over the place, but keep coming back to ALICE COOPER. Paul goes to see BLONDIE live and Gordie defends Wikipedia.During this "singing" episode we talk about KISS, ALICE COOPER, BLONDIE, DAVID GROHL, J.GEILS, THE GOLDEN GIRLS, IGGY POP, more power pop, free time on the couch with NETFLIX, KENNY HOLSTEIN moments and teasing future GORDCAST topics.

Paul Bertolino survives Hurricane Irene in NY City, so we can talk about Gordie's new Power Pop direction and these other fascinating topics. SEBASTIAN BACH, THE KNACK, THE RASBERRIES, THE SHOES, ELVIS COSTELLO, THE JAM, THE CLASH, JOE JACKSON, KISS, piano karaoke, MR. BIG, TOM JONES, CHEAP TRICK and their live DVD of SGT PEPPERS, which leads to Gordie telling his story of watching the film from 1978 recently and digging EARTH WIND & FIRE amongst much ridiculousness. Gordie ends by recommending the NNF: ROCK SOLID podcast.

JORDAN PHEGLEY joins Gordie from Happy Valley OR. We begin our conversation with tales from Jordan's SAN DIEGO COMIC CON experience and then ramble around from topic to topic. Comic related Podcasts, STAN SAKAI, RICHARD STARKINGS, SF WONDERCON, EMERALD CITY CON, DCU ONLINE, 80's cartoons come to life, CAPTAIN AMERICA and GREEN LANTERN movies, POTA, DC REBOOT, DOCTOR WHO, TOM BAKER, MONARCH OF THE GLEN, ZEN, EOC SKETCH CHALLENGE and AMY WINEHOUSE. This one is nerdtacular.

Back from a couple of "special" episodes, Paul Bertolino joins Gordie for talk of MICHAEL JACKSON, R.E.M. re-issues, UFO, THE ROLLING STONES, ZEPPELIN, THE BYRDS, crappy 90's bands and drop D tuning, the GORDCAST BOOKCLUB, Train stories, RINGO STARR bashing,  DAVE CHAPPELE'S BLOCK PARTY, estate sales/swap meet love, talking to record store/comic book patrons, JOSE MENDEZ and being a STACY ADAMS man.

The rare and seldom heard first stab at podcasting by Gordie Adams and Paul Bertolino from DEC 2008. Paul works with Gordies dad at the Post Office, hanging out at LOONEY TUNES, early FACEBOOK days, MYSPACE going away, NAPA talk, TRADE FAIR and PETER CETERAS vision of the future. Shopping music, PORCUPINE TREE, LED ZEPPELIN is forever for teenagers,  METAL SHREDDING, ALICE COOPER, AC/DC, METALLICA, THE DOORS, GUNS 'N ROSES, lunch pail collecting and of course...   KISS!

Gordie welcomes CHRIS NESEMAN, his main inspiration for creating THE GORDCAST.   If you like sports, comics and celebrations of all things geeky, you will enjoy our conversation.  "21" THE ROBERTO CLEMENTE STORY, NL Central juggling in the MLB,  TOM BELAND & TSSTG, LOVE AND ROCKETS (the comic), rescuing dogs & the Pitbull reputation, females in and around comics, DOC MARTIN, DOCTOR WHO (..yet no Dock Ellis talk.) and how we find time to enjoy TV, comics and movies.. Thanks for all the support from all the Gordcast fans!

In between talking about allergies and the weather, we manage to wedge in mostly music talk. *INCLUDING A QUITE GRAPHIC JIMI HENDRIX SEX STORY.*  We earn the explicit tag this episode. Paul reads STEVEN TYLER'S biography, is planning on KEITH RICHARD'S next and Gordie will read it together for book club. We discuss ALICE COOPER, QUEEN, BRIAN JOHNSON REDD KROSS and pay tribute to GUNS 'N ROSES.

Gordie and Paul get together on the Eve of the Apocalypse to discuss RAY HARRYHAUSEN, THE UPPER CRUST, SATANACIDE, DAYTONA, DIAMONDSNAKE, DAVE HILL'S PODCASTING INCIDENT, Time Capsules, Woody Allens SLEEPER, BRIAN JOHNSON and THE ELDER by KISS. Paul get's a job near the old CBGB'S and went record shopping on 9-11 Gordie laughs alot.   Cheers!

Paul and Gordie are joined by JULIE McKIM for a Gordcast exclusive. Julie connects PETCO with Andy Warhols Factory and we begin with LADY GA GA, DIAMONDSNAKE, LED ZEPPELIN , BLACK ANGELS, MGMT, LAURA NYRO, DALE BOZZIO, ERLAN, BOB DYLAN and finally get to THE FOO FIGHTERS. Gordie loves the new Foo Fighters and convinces Paul, though julie needs no convincing. We discuss producers and Julie dances like PAT BENATAR as a hooker. Taylor Hawkins sings like Dennis Wilson and we find out what street we grew up on. Paul sings! Gordie sings!    ...and Julie does not in public or private, because she is the Dangerous Aunt.  Ramble on!

No this is not an all Spin Doctors podcast. Gordie gets a haircut and Paul hasn't paid for one in years.  Paul meets ICE T and becomes a fan. We talk first about PRINCE completely blowing our minds, then fit in the Royal wedding, Rebecca Black, Justin Beiber, Gordies old kitchen cabinets and a shout out to one of the Gordcast faithful.  Cheers!

Gordie is back from his holiday in the British Isles and tells Paul Bertolino of his travels. Avoiding London altogether, Gordie visits small villages, the Holy Grail of Castles in Scotland and doesn't hear any leaf blowers. Paul has moved and runs into Lou Reed and Robert Plant. They both are both Re-creationists and would love to raid Napa neighborhoods for photos. ...a hum is slightly pervasive and I hope for these audio glitches to disappear.   Cheers!

Gordies voice is doubled and echoed all through his talk with TOM BELAND. We begin by talking about Canadian Parliment which slams full on into a 20 minute Marijuana discussion, complete with pizza and The Legend Of Zelda. Sports is up next with World Series talk, posting football scores in the window for the guys at the bakery across the street from the Lovejoy Mansion, sports cosplay and how STRAT-O-MATIC BASEBALL is more fun than D&D. We finally get around to talking TRUE STORY SWEAR TO GOD and Toms internet goes down. Hope you can get through, but honestly, Tom does most of the talking.

In an unprecedented Gordcast, Gordie and Paul wrangle previous guest: Nathan Alfaro and new guest: Brian Nash to provide a glimpse into when four friends get together around a mic and let fly. (...Gordie a little too much.) MIKE NESMITH seems to be the main topic, but we hit on THE MONKEES, JUDAS PRIEST, THE FOO FIGHTERS, PRINCE THE BANANA SPLITS, BURT WARD, WIL WHEATON, the roots of Alt Country and way too much table banging for emphasis. The sound can be a bit jarring at times, so hold onto yer ears.

Gordie is joined by Ty Domke to talk about music, UFOs and plumbing. Ty goes to his first concert at the LA Forum, wants to play her-monica and knows a little bit about a lot of things. Joe Satriani sets off the fire alarm at The Uptown Theater where the sound is incredible. Big Country and UFO makes Gordie smile and we finish up talking about wine, Maynard from Tool and Art Bell.  (Jake Shimabukuro, The Rolling Stones, KISS, The Doors, The Southern Death Cult, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Huey Lewis also come up.)
