Hello and welcome to another edition of Turned Out of Punk Splits.

I'm here I was Damian Abraham.

Once again, I'm bringing you a conversation with two people that have been on the show before,

but we are bringing them back.

They may or may not know each other, but I guarantee you a great conversation today is no exception because on the show is Chris Mars the legendary artist and drummer of the legendary replacements.

Also someone that has an incredible solo career as well

that we talk about on today's episode quite a bit.

Also returning to the show, friend of the show,

dare I say my mentor, the legendary John Worcester, who of course has played in numerous bands from psychotic Norman to

superchunk to well there's there's deep stuff we could talk about as well but

also currently playing with Bob Mold, also playing currently

in the fantastic Mountain Goats with friend of the show, John Dar Neel and as I say John is is my mentor John is someone that you know

school me on music any day of the week and to have this opportunity to bring

together well John says it himself his musical hero this opportunity to bring together.

Well, John says it himself, his musical hero

in Chris Mars with my comedy hero,

my musical hero as well, but I can't play drums at all.

But John is a bit, someone that I, as I say, very much respect as a musical mind and bringing these two

people together and just being able to sit here and hear this conversation.

That is why we do this thing and I say we because I cannot take credit for this idea.

This idea of putting these two guys together came from show producer and guest booker extraordinary

and my little baby brother Tristan Abraham and if you want to get in touch with Tristan or this show, you can hit up turned out of punk
