One of the people that I've always wanted to speak with is my guest for Episode 144. Steven Blush! Mostly known for writing , "American Hardcore" along with the film of the same name, as well as "American Hair Metal", "Lost Rockers: Broken Dreams & Crashed Careers", "New York Rock: From the Rise of the Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB", the founder of "Seconds Magazine", and "The Art of the Interview". He's also a huge record collector and Hardcore historian. Steven invited me to his house in the West Village and gave me the opportunity to sit and talk about what he has done (and it's A LOT) and what he has in store for the near future and beyond. We connected very quickly and this one went by just as fast. I hope you enjoy this. Respect.
