Join Brian Sikes Howe () and Jesse Novak () as we listen to some records and celebrate all things hard rock and heavy metal in the first episode of our new podcast!

This first episode was more of a test run, and we had no real plan going into it, but it was still a great time. As we get the ball rolling on this new show, expect more fun-themed and focused episodes to come soon. 🤘

If you missed it last night, you can catch the REPLAY. Wasted Years livestream with the homie Ian Sallese aka DJ EN4K. (Minus one OZZY song that YouTube made me cut out lol)

This was my first time using multiple wireless USB mics with a multi-camera setup, and it's a lot to juggle in real time. I'm still experimenting with the format and figuring things out, but we're getting there. The more I do, the better it will get.

It was super cool to talk about some different stuff with Ian and he brought some really fun stuff for us to listen to. Some of it was a *little* off-brief but it was all cool and fun to learn about.

More streams soon. Catch me spinning more 80's Metal Vinyl live next month at LAWLESS: All Vinyl 80's Metal Night at Poetry Lounge.

See you next month at Poetry Lounge! 🤘

RSVP HERE: LAWLESS: All Vinyl 80's Metal Night at Poetry Lounge

I'm hosting this 80's Metal Night tomorrow at Poetry Lounge in Millvale. 9PM - Close. No cover charge. Just killer jams and good times.

The "big idea" here is to create a space for people in the metal/rock community to get out of the house and socialize for a few hours without the added hassle of also dragging their gear across the city to play a set. If you're not in a band and just love this music, this is obviously for you as well.

I'll be spinning all kinds of stuff, from legendary staples to the totally obscure. Come hang out!

Posting this at 1AM may be silly, but nobody sees anything in "real-time" anymore. It's all about the algorithm, baby. So whenever you see this, I hope it's a good time for you to hang out with me and some records.

I did the first "test run" live stream for Wasted Years tonight on Twitch, but anyone who missed it can watch the full archive on YouTube. I got some bigger ideas moving forward for the future of these channels but it was cool to get everything set up and make sure it was all working.

Thanks to the homies who came to hang out and helped me work out some tech issues. Really looking forward to doing this again. Stay tuned!
