Episode 21 - I'm SoCo Tired (feat. Ian James Wright of The Alphabetical Fugazi)

Our pod is 21 episodes old; we celebrate it's ability to drink legally in the US by discussing Ringo's influence on early American emo, Scotty's work on making podcasters essential, the Beatles DIY ethic, the similarities between the Beatles and DC postpunk stalwarts FUGAZI, the potential of doing a reverse alphabetical Beatles podcast, the potential of doing a podcast where we play Fugazi songs backwards, Ian's single malt scotch takes, Sir Walter Raleigh's level of gitness, the lost colony of Roanoke and its overall spookiness, Beatles pillow fights, a dip into the Fugazi "I'm So Tired" demo from the Instrument soundtrack, how weird it is that it is Fugazi's second most popular song, our first voicemail from a very prestigious guest caller, and the bed-based Beatles song, "I'm So Tired."

If all of this Fugazi discussion piqued your interest, please check out our Blotto Beatles Guide to Fugazi playlist.
