Episode 35: The One With James Kochalka SUPERSTAR!

Send us Fan Mail

James Kochalka SUPERSTAR logged in and recorded a fun interview with us that ranged from Jayce's sons laughing in the car at his song Pony The Penis... to the always fresh Monkey vs. Robot...  to Matt asking about his process... to discussing his different albums...  to Jayce getting cities in Vermont mixed up...  All the way to the end where we hear the story of him and his band accidentally being sent to Marquette University instead of Marquette, MI to play an epic show in spite of an epic snow storm. 

Who is James Kochalka you may ask? 

He is...

A wildly prolific artist, James Kochalka (kah-chall-ka) has been creating iconic indie comics and bizzarely catchy punk rock since the early 80s. He is a two-time winner of the prestigious eisner award and in 2011 was  named the first cartoonist laureate of his home state of vermont. his song “britney’s silver can” was on rolling stone’s Best Songs of 2006, and his song “Hockey Monkey” was the theme to fox sitcom “the loop.”

I lifted that from this website here. 

Coincidentally this episode is releasing the same day as his new album Pop Popular.
You can head over to his Bandcamp Page and pick it up along with his entire discography.  We did not plan this but we figured since we're going to get that sweet James Kochalka SUPERSTAR bump we should give his new record that equally sweet XRadioX bump.  (Seriously folks...  Don't make Matt & Jayce look like punks.)

You can find James on Top Shelf Comix, YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp.  Go check out his stuff!

Thanks for listening and check out the XRadioX primer on James Kochalka here!

We're out of characters for typing now.
