At last! Kevin Rutmanis comes on Protonic Reversal, a delightful conversation with a self-identified genuine musical weirdo that is not heard from NEARLY OFTEN enough! In this episode Conan and Kevin talk about: -Covering Night Goat in Hepa.Titus -Boutique vinyl, human hands touch almost ever piece! -Finding Alice Cooper (who also hated everybody) -AM Radio inspiration and enjoyment -Da Blues! -Not picking up the bass until 28, he was very busy. -The Cows, a nasty bunch of creeps that also played music. Inspiration by other bands not being great. -SLIDE bass! -New generations getting into “weird” music and finding music in general. -Cape Fear guy. -Recording the last “Cows” record and then joining the Melvins. -Buzz wanting the Kevin thing. -The story of Tomahawk, Kevin’s tale. A contrast in musical approaches. (thanks Buzz!) -the story of Hepa.Titus, from early to now. -How great is Paul Christensen? -The Bass V-I… Kevin R. is NOT a gear guy -Electrical Guitar Company necks.
