Jam Sandwich

Ahoy hoy, black-clad youth and kinky goblins! Welcome to another spooktacular episode of Jam Sandwich. On today's installment I'm once again joined by my old friend Luca Cimarusti. As was the case the last time he was on the show, we over served ourselves a bit and things got loose. Some questionable opinions are definitely shared. The original plan was to listen to a couple of Ozzy albums, but instead we played a random assortment of songs that get us stoked for the season. We set a fire to our loins and our blood boils like lava. This episode is so hot your ears might experience turd degree burns. BOO! See, it's even frightening on the eyes! Somehow we didn't listen to Joy Division so maybe we'll do an entire episode on them in the near future. No promises, licker.  Luca's current band Luggage has a new album out at the end of the month on Don Giovanni Records. Go grip it. Follow him on twitter at @LucaCimarusti and on instagram at @beer_man_official for more info and also pictures of grade a scumbaggery. I

Hey lickers! Welcome to another installment of your favorite toilet pig show, Jam Sandwich. On this 'sode, I welcome my lovely wife back to the show to discuss one of our favorite bands, ABBA. We do a decent job talking about the band, but we also get into a tizzy and as is usually the case when CJ comes on and we both get a little nasty. She even got in on the raunch this time. We're breaking her shyness and the freak is coming out. So if you're a diehard ABBA fan that somehow stumbled across this show, be prepared to hear about my b's* okay? If you're a frequent listener then rejoice, because I once again talk about my b's! Tuck in your bib cause this one gets messy.

Hot dang, it's another installment of Jam Sandwich, babies! We've gotsa real juicy one for youse guys today. In the world of podcasting there's dream guests and then there's Josh Androsky. What can I say, I love to butter this beautiful man up! I've known this sweet prince for several years now and whenever our paths cross both laughs and consensual kisses are shared. He wanted to listen to Brian Eno's 1973 masterpiece Here Come The Warm Jets and I couldn't have been more on board. Surprisingly enough, we manage to stay pretty much on topic for a majority of the episode, aside from getting off track almost immediately. It does end up turning into a discussion of "great morning songs" towards the end. I also talk about my wife's gazungas. Look, I could go on and on but just know that Josh is one of my spiritual brothers and our energies are synced up which makes for great conversation. Dig in!  For more Josh goodness, follow him on twitter and instagram at @shutupandrosky. If you're in LA and would like to get

Greetings curbs dogs, ramp rats and skate betty's alike and welcome to another installment of Jam Sandwich. Much like JS053, this one is more of a radio show than a podcast. No guests, just your horned up stoner host to guide you through a magical journey of curated tunes. This episode is all about skate videos and the music that lies within their sacred walls. Any long time listener won't be surprised to hear this one as I mention skateboarding all the gosh darn time. Growing up I dedicated countless hours to playing with the useless wooden toys and consuming as many VHS tapes as possible. It was on these videos that I first heard The Minutemen, Souls of Mischief, John Coltrane and so many more. It really shaped my warped, sick mind. On JS060, I'm playing nothing but tracks that have appeared in videos of the years, along with assorted clips you might find amongst the ripping.  If you miss out on my yappin', don't fret as I've got another new episode dropping on it's regularly scheduled time (haha, get it, c

Ahoy hoy mateys and welcome back aboard the good sub that is Jam Sandwich! On today's episode, we're joined once again by good friend of the show Mike Conway! If you're a long time licker of the sammich, you're already familiar with Mr. Conway and what to expect during his visits. For example, we managed to bring up Skankin' Pickle within the first few minutes. Usually when Mike visits we tend to trail off topic, but today we're speaking about one of our all time favorite bands, The B-52's, so we kinda keep it on point in order to pay proper respects to the greatest group to ever emerge from the south. Also, Mike has been drawing again, despite the bad carpal tunnel syndrome that has been plaguing his 2017. In addition to being one of my best friends, he's one of my favorite artists and I suggest you check out the new "break room doodles" series he's been posting lately. Check out his instagram at @michaelfinnconway for da goods. If you're still hungry and fancy some more Jam Sandwiches, you can munch on some

Well shoot, Joe McAdam makes a quick return to the Palace of Sin for another hot steamy Jam Sandwich. This episode was recorded on May 18th, which also happened to be the same day Chris Cornell of Soundgarden passed away. Joe suggested we listen to Badmotorfinger to memorialize the fallen singer, but if I'm being perfectly honest I was never really much of a Soundgarden fan and I didn't wanna have the episode come off as a half assed eulogy. Instead I decided we should start with Gregg Allman's I'm No Angel and we give Gregg some lite ribbing. Then that dude had to go and die before I could release this episode, thusly completely going against my original intentions. Oy vey! Furthermore, the formatting is a little different on this one. It was done in a bit of a rush, so we don't focus on a full album or even singular artist. We play a bunch of random songs that we thought of in the moment, so you get a bunch of little insights on a whole slew of artists. It's kind of similar to our old show Revolutions Per M

Today's episode is a real doozey. Our old friend Farout returns to airwaves, bringing along with him his tourmate of the moment, Coolzey. We recorded this bad bish a while ago, but you're just getting it now because thats the way things go. My sincere apologies to Farout and Coolzey for not being timely. Coolzey specifically plugs a bunch of shows for the end of April, so thats fun to hear in June.  As a new guest, Coolzey was given the reigns on what we'd be jammin' and to my delight he picked the Butthole Surfers. We discuss the history of the band and what made them such freaks. (Hint: drugs played a heavy role.) At this point the Goldschläger and weed were really flowing, so to keep things going we play everything from Britney Spears to the Angry Samoans. The conversation gets loose and butt stuff inevitably comes up, natch. Good fun! I guess that's it. Oh yeah, subscribe to the show why don'tcha? If you use the podcast app on your iphone, give the show a 5 star review cause it makes me feel good on the i

Hey lickers, I'm back! Sorry for the vacation; had a get little getaway. Just kidding, I got an HBO GO password from my parents, so I finally got to see The Wire. Now, 45 days later, the show has returned. I'm stoked to help reinstate the show with a fresh guest that I've wanted on since the beginning, Joe McAdam. Joe and I used to do a different podcast, Revolutions Per Minute, which was pretty similar to this one, until he moved out west. Mr. McAdam was in town for a brief spell and we squeezed in this recording at 2 AM, just a few hours before I had to drive him to the airport so he could return home to his beautiful wife. Spoiler alert: we're drunk and / or stoned. Since I love my sweet, dear friend, I let him pick the album we'd dig into this go around. He went with one of his favorites, Touchdown by Bob James. I was surprised to find I already knew his music way more than I'd anticipated. It legitimately caught me off guard, which you can hear from the first few notes. Anyway, it's good fun and it captu

On today's installment of the show, I'm joined by my good friend Adam "Squirtzel" Hirzel. We're close friends in due thanks to the fact that we like a lot of the same music. We worked together in a record store and he's damn fine at that job. We discuss Link Wray's Three Track Shack period and how it's some of the finest American music ever recorded. Double damn fine! I also pick his brain over what its like to sling vinyl for a living and the many misconceptions that come with the job. One might describe this episode as being "highly informational" with a twinge of "stoner logic" and "secretly horny."   If you'd be so kind, please SUBSCRIBE and give the show a good rating on itunes. Don't be such a selfish, greedy b hole. Tell your friends about it. They deserve to know!

Whoa, it's a bonus episode! You might be asking yourself "But Nick, sometimes you take a whole week off for no reason what so ever. Wouldn't it make sense to bank roll this thing over till next week, in case you get lazy again?" While that actually makes the most sense, no, I will not be doing that. I play by my own rules, babies. This is a very special episode without any guests. In fact, I barely talk on it. As a direct response to some recent feedback, I present you with an "All Last Songs" episode. Since so many of you seem to really enjoy that particular segment, I figured why not do it for an entire show? It's kind of like going to a fancy buffet and heading straight to the dessert table. Sure I want an omelette, but gimme dat cream puff swan first! I jump around through a bunch of genres, so if you don't like something, just fast forward a few minutes and see what's next. Or sit in it and suffer the joy! If you'd be so kind, please SUBSCRIBE and give the show a good rating on itunes. That would be just

My, what a long strange trip this episode turned out to be! On today's show I'm joined by my old friend Luca Cimarusti. An accomplished musician (Luggage, Heavy Times, Catburglars) and music journalist, this proud Italian is one of my favorite people to discuss and argue the merits of our favorite albums. It's kind of crazy it took me so long to get him on the show because we go way back. We not only grew up in the same home town, but he's been roommates with my wife and I on numerous occasions. Tight bros from way back, to say the least. Over the course of the last year or two, each of us have found ourselves drawn in by the magnetism of the Grateful Dead after a lifetime of refusing to get on board. We both explain what finally broke through, how deep we've gone down the rabbit hole and what still hasn't managed to click. Who knows, maybe it'll change your perception of things too. If you'd be so kind to subscribe and give us a good rating on itunes, that would be just well of you. Otherwise, more Jam Sandw

Ahoy, maties! Settle in and get ready for another large serving of Jam Sandwich. On today's show I'm joined by Drug Factory Press kingpin Ryan Duggan. As a former room/bandmate, we've spent a lot of time together and on this episode we get to catch up. We listen to Black Flag and the Minutemen while discussing Ryan's work, our shared histories and french kissing. Even though he's only in his early 30s Ryan has created a heavy body of work. If you're familiar with it, this is your chance to take a look at the man behind "all those dog's taking dumps." I highly encourage you to go buy some of Ryan's beautiful prints. Find it at ryanduggan.com, drugfactorypress.bigcartel.com and instagram.com/drugfactorypress/. If you'd be so kind to subscribe and give us a good rating on itunes, that would be just well of you.

Hold onto your balls, it's an all new episode of Jam Sandwich! My good friend Brad VandenBerg returns so we could get down to 1981 Rick James classic Street Songs. He's a very kinky guest, the kinda that makes you call him dad-dah! He also created the Jam Sandwich corporate logo, so you know the man has good taste. We spent the afternoon at a brewery and I want to the good times going, so I picked up a Mary Jane single, he got some more suds puppies and what proceeded next is what you have before you. This is a pretty accurate capsule of me hanging out with one of my best buds. For the full experience: put on some jammy pants, warm up some pizza rolls and get comfy in a beanbag chair. The lava lamp just started to move... This episode is dedicated to /CURB DOGS\ everywhere.

Holy schlitts, Jam Sandwich is now 50 deep. I've now been recording episodes of this show for a year, give or take a few weeks when I took a sabbatical. On this episode I'm joined once again by my good friend Kevin Goggin. He's the show's composer and he delivered an extra special treat for the special occasion. Today we listen to Devo's Duty Now For The Future, along with some other classic singles and deep cuts.  Anyway, we discuss the band and the importance of recognizing Devolution as it takes places before our very eyes. Also Kevin's grandmother. So put on your power dome, plug in and get ready to understand my potato.  Also, in the excitement of tings, I completely spaced on thanking Producer Dan in my big ups segment. The show wouldn't exist today had it not been for his kindness and inspiration, so go tweet at him at @friesenpoint and tell him you love him. He deserves it. Lastly, THANK YOU for listening! Be sure to tell all your friends about all the naughty fun we have here. For real, that'd be nic

Today's episode is all about redemption. Redemption podcast. Way back on JS005, I attempted to do a reggae episode, but I not only did massive bong rips, clouding my fragile mind, but my guests didn't know squat or even care for the genre. It's one of the best worst episodes. It took me a while, but I invited my good friend Ethan D'Ercole to join me for a proper discussion of Rock Steady. We spin one of his favorite albums, Alton Ellis's Sunday Coming along with a slew of classic singles. This is the second episode in a row were my guest and I actually talk about the music at length, so maybe the tide is turning. Ethan is a brilliant artist, having been in a ton of great bands while also being one of my favorite print artists in Chicago right now. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to go to his website (http://www.ethandercole.com/) and pick up a print or two. That sh!t is absolutely gorgeous and will look lovely on your walls. Yeah mon!

Close your eyes and make a wish, for there's much to celebrate! Today's VERY SPECIAL episode Jam Sandwich marks two wonderful occasions. I'm joined once again by my lovely wife Claire, but there's a bit of a twist. This was recorded at the Palace of Sin on Valentine's Day 2017 and as a romantic gesture, I promised my love that I wouldn't be overly pervy this time around as that's usually the case when she makes an appearance. Secondly, today is her birthday so I figured I'd drop a deuce on all y'all with two episodes this week. I feel kinda bad for taking last week off, so now you've got double the jam to double your fun. The queen was at the controls and she selected Fleetwood Mac's self titled album from 1975. I actually go into length about some of the band's history, while we also recount our personal take on the band and what they've meant to our relationship. Towards the end I kind of slip up and it get's a tad dirty. Oopsie! Be sure to share this episode with someone you love. Or just share it. Spreadi

Friend of the show Marty DeRosa returns to the Palace of Sin for another thrilling installment of Jam Sandwich. Marty's pick of the week was N.W.A.'s 1988 debut classic, Straight Outta Compton. Along the way, we discuss the effect gangsta rap had on us as kids, particularly in regards to women's hygiene. It was educational to say the least. We were having such a good time that we kept chatting for a little bit even after the album wrapped. Some fun bonus stuff at the end too. HINT: It involves Daddy's!! Also, since there wasn't an episode last week (for no good reason this time) I'm gonna try to drop a deuce on all y'all this week, so be on the lookout for that.

The world's finest guest returns as I once again sit down with my lovely wife for another thrilling installment of Jam Sandwich. It wasn't really planned, but I had a guest cancel so I figured why not bring in this sexy, educated woman once again? We listen to It's All Around You by Chicago's very own Tortoise, while I bombard her with nothing but cheeky innuendo. Who am I kidding, it's straight forward filth at times. We both throw out a few new knuckle tattoo ideas and discuss whether or not we did it on the futon that used to be in her mom's basement.   SPECIAL NOTE: There's a weird echo on my vocals throughout this episode and I can't figure out why in the heck that happened. Neither could my friends that actually know what  the f they're doing. It's really not that big of a deal and you can really only notice it when the music isn't playing. Kinda. It kind of comes and goes. WEIRD! Anyway, you should come to expect this kind of a thing at this point, right? It's free and still better than the audio on so

Grab an Old Style and a steamed dog, as my dear friend Meg MacDuff joins us for today's episode. Meg is an absolute ripper who's been shredding Chicago and beyond for well over a decade now. Our old bands used to play shows together, but these she's currently doing her thing in Bleach Party and Montrose Man, which I highly recommend you check out. We listen to the Jesus Lizard and the Exploding Hearts while discussing road pickles, meeting your heroes, and getting arrested for visiting the most haunted cemetery in Illinois. Meg rules and is such a funny person that it's upsetting it took this long to get her on the show. The wait is finally over, so dig in and savor it's tasty goodness.

Holy smokies, Goodrich Gevaart is back in the Palace of Sin for another installment of Happy Hour Sam'mich Time. We had so much fun on last week's episode that I convinced Goody to keep the party going!! Hey...    you party? That's good cause you're in the right place. Today we listen to the self titled, 1973 debut release from Betty Davis, which gets tings turned up real quick. I love this album and I think you will too. We're already kind of pervs, but that beacon of sexual empowerment really turns our cranks up to 11, if you catch my drift. Do I need to spell it out for you? Look, we get horny, okay? You have heard this show before right? No? Well, what a great place to start! Go ahead and subscribe, give the show a good rating on itunes and tell your friends. Thanks for that, I appreciate it. Now we can just focus on the horniness of it all. Jam Sandwiches can also be found at: jamsandwichpodcast.com || manontop69.com || Twitter: @jamsandwichpod || Instagram: @jamsandwichpodcast
