Words and Sentences with Paragraph Taylor

It's Paragraph Taylor Day!! In this episode of The Breckening Podcast, we get into Paragraph's history in California and Texas and various music projects. Whether it's playing guitar in Secret of Boris, making sounds in the experimental industrial ManifestiV with his wife Lillith, or honoring his influences with the tribute acts Significant Others (Limp Bizkit) and Mr. Self Destruct (Nine Inch Nails), he's always playing. And we didn't even get into his time as a mortician. That's for another episode.

Gettin’ JackDaw(folk art) with Jack Russell

I sat down with one Jack Russell in his suburban homestead (don't mind the dogs, y'all) to talk about art, music, and oh yeah, Jägermeister. Jack is the big brains behind Jackdaw Folk Art: a true Texas-style of prints which sets up at various venues under a tent. Definitely check out these hand-printed on hand-torn, tea-stained, 140lb art paper purdy pictures. Jack has also played some bass guitar in the the Whiskey Folk Ramblers, Daybreak Hits, and currently Crooked Bones. I ain't lying: he's a true Texas original.

Shootin’ the Shit with Shiva (Ary)

”It’s Baseball Time in Texas!!”

Major League Baseball Opening Day is tomorrow. Also, I love baseball and do not care who knows it. I love it so much that in lieu of writing a drawn out Facebook post like I usually do, I created yet another nugget of content for my podcast. I'm just an amateur baseball lover so it's all off the dome for about 20 minutes. No research, no moneyball number bullshit. This one is for the hardcore baseball lovers - the handful of you who probably listen to this podcast.

Cameron Taylor is a Real SoB

We could've gone on for longer, but his band needed their rehearsal space back. Download, listen, and enjoy.

Matt Randolph’s Instrument-filled Apartment

On this one, I sit down with Matt Randolph of the bands Wildspeaker and Vorrukt. We talk about underground extreme music, then stand up comedy, then music again, and then comedy some more.
