First, Last And Always

Our guest in Episode 10 is Lindsey Turnbullet! Lindsey is a blogger, editor, publisher, fellow tweeter, and just an all-around good person. And her conversation truly brings back THE METAL to First and Last and Always. We cover everything from Iron Maiden to Nifelheim to Pig Destroyer -- so for fans of a heavier persuasion, this is the episode for you! (Okay, we also touch...BRIEFLY...on Blood, Sweat and Tears and the Backstreet Boys. But very briefly. Like...a sentence each.) All that and tons more, so take a listen!

Writer, #MetalTwitter personality and all-around good dude Dan Marsicano is our guest this week Episode 9! Dan joined for a terrific conversation about his first, last and always, featuring a little metal, a little progressive rock, and one all-around KILLER story for his always section, whose genre we will *not* spoil here. Good times all around in this week's chat, so take a listen!

Our guest this week is Tommy Parnelle! Tommy is a web developer and musician from Charlotte, NC. He's also a totally stand-up guy, who filled in at the last minute when this week's planned guest and recording session fell through. (Seriously, this episode almost didn't happen!) And what's more, our conversation was AWESOME. Great concert stories and tangents abound, so check it out!

Thrilled to bring you Episode 7, featuring the one and only Corey Butterworth! Corey's been one of Dan's best friends since freshman year of college, and co-founded the Nine Circles podcast and blog with him. As such, this episode goes balls deep in metal at times. But it also covers...Sting? Either way, it was a great time and a great conversation, so check it out!

Our guest on the podcast this week is Kevin Brown. Kevin is a talented play-by-play broadcaster and one of Dan's best friends since college. Tangents abound in this episode, which covers Kevin's first, last and always, but also such wide-ranging topics as Chumbawamba and a 50-song Cure performance in Mexico City. A great conversation all around, so dive on in and check it out!

Terrific chat this week with Seth Werkheiser -- a friend, fellow podcaster and metalhead. Seth founded Skull Toaster, a metal trivia website, Twitter handle and newsletter, and has also been instrumental in the development of #MetalBandcampGiftClub. He's a good dude all around. So come on in and check out our conversation!

This week's guest is Megan Osztrosits -- a friend, vocalist, #metaltweep, and, of course, a fellow Pennsylvanian. Megan's conversation runs the gamut of show experiences: from a middle school Battle of the Bands, to some north Brooklyn metal, to THE MOST RIDICULOUS CONCERT STORY YOU WILL EVER HEAR. (Seriously; all-caps were *entirely* warranted there, as you'll hear.) Check it out!

We're back with Episode 3, featuring a good friend and fellow podcaster, Matthew Buchan! Buke co-hosts the Metal Heads Podcast, a great weekly metal chat based in the DC / Baltimore area. And the conversation covers the full spectrum of what might be considered metal--from legends like Black Sabbath, to contemporary heroes Deafheaven, to..oddly enough, a band called Slaves on Dope. Huh. Either way, check it out!

Episode 2 is here, with the show's first-ever guest: Kevin Davis! A film producer, amateur bodybuilder, crusader against cereal...Kevin's a true renaissance man. He's also been one of Dan's best friends for close to a decade. And while the conversation DOES cover his First, Last and Always, it also covers plenty of banter-filled tangents -- from the lameness of New Year's Eve to seeing-"Rent"-as-a-seven-year-old. Check it out!

Episode 1 is here! Join Dan for a quick intro to the show, followed by his own first, last and always concert breakdown. We'll have guests joining the show beginning next week -- and with them, the format will surely stretch, expand and take on a new appearance. But for now, here's your first taste of what First and Last and Always is all about -- so give it a listen! --- http://firstlastalwayspod.tumblr.com firstlastalwayspod@gmail.com Twitter: @FLAPodcast
