Episode #2: Classic Punk, Spy-fi Surf, and Groovy Downtempo

(0:00 - 1:33) Introduction

(1:34 - 9:29) I have a fun time chatting with Jeff Welch from The Reverb Syndicate. They are Ottawa's top surf-rock band. We hear about how they developed their own mythology as inspiration for their instrumental tunage, and also hear one of their fans playing one of their tracks on a charango! (Thanks to Eric Pare for providing the charango track!). Check out the Reverb folks at http://www.thereverbsyndicate.ca/ [8].

(9:30 - 12:05) The Reverb Syndicate - The Lonely Henchmen (from Sputnik-a-Go-Go, available at CDBaby [9])
