Paul Bertolino has no wi-fi, so he sits on a bench outside a bar in noisy New York. After getting used to the busses going by, Paul talks about BLACK ABBATH, the new metal/parody band that Phil Costello has come up with. We continue with TRAGEDY talk, 16 MAGAZINE, facial hair rock "vios" and the BEATLES on iTunes. Bridget does some detective work and reunites old friends andPaul goes to the MACY'S THANKSGIVING PARADE and WHITE CASTLE.

Blain Sterling aka: BRENT RATKOVICH joins me on his very first Gordcast. We battle with sound issues for the first 7 minutes, then fix them! Brent tells of how things that scared him as a child became his favorite things later in life, moving around a lot and finally settling in NAPA. Gordie and Brent have way more in common than he thought, talk about shredding guitar gods and wrap up with talk of jumping in leaves now and then. ENJOY!

Paul Bertolino is all settled in New York and Gordie announces that Autumn is finally here. Paul goes to his first NY Comic-Con and talks to Joyce DeWitt like a hooker, doesn't buy anything and gets his girlie-pants tailored. Gordie tells a story that he may have already told, admits he may have A.D.D. and has to censor Paul. We end up discecting language and trying to find groovy winter footwear for Paul.

Paul Bertolino has moved to New York and played music along the way. Paul tells of touring with TORNADO RIDER at places like the DOUBLE DOOR in Chicago, hanging out at VILLAGE INNS in Denver, watching families torn asunder and watches DIRTY HARRY for the first time. Gordie doesn't pay attention to the weather, yet talks waaaaaaaaay too long about it and laughs a bunch. We wrap things up with NAPA nostalgia around the Bicentennial and PETER FRAMPTON and DAYS ON THE GREEN.

Gordie welcomes JORDAN PHEGLEY to the podcast community in a story of how 11 O 'CLOCK COMICS brings people together. (...no, seriously.) Jordan grows up without TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE, but loves old timey radio. Reads STUCK RUBBER BABY, has an altar to MORRISSEY and is going to be a father soon. Gordie reads THE BIBLE ...again, loves TONY MILLIONAIRE, thanks Jordan for exposing him to ANTONY & THE JOHNSTONS and doesn't know how to PARTY IN THE U.S.A. They finish up with dog attack stories while on the job and pledge to record many GORDCASTS.

Paul Bertolino is back from his big summer trip with plenty to talk about. Gordie pleads with the new listeners for some feedback, reminds everyone that BOSTON is owed tremendous props and champions LAWERENCE WELK! Paul tells of the downfall of the Bay Area music scene, is not stoked about the GREASE sing-along in theaters and finishes up with a nice tale of UK mono pressings of THE MOODY BLUES.

Gordie checks in with Paul Bertolino on his New York summer. Gordie discovers new music from the sixties, (...yet again) makes another new friend and is okay with Ryan Adams. Paul has taken to wearing a beard, just like everybody else in NY and reveals MOBYS new metal band with fellow pal PHIL COSTELLO. DIAMONDSNAKE! We both decide that there is no need for an A-TEAM movie and look forward to a time of new ideas in Hollywood.

It's back to the usual format when Paul Bertolino joins Gordie from New York, to talk about fallen heroes and soon to be fallen heroes. Paul sees The New York Dolls, Hanoi Rocks' Michael Monroe and sings in the streets with the homeless. Gordie runs into a Sasquatch in Portland, gets stuck in Utah and has zero tolerance for uninformed Christian fanatics. They both mourn Ronnie James Dio and tell how he effected us through the ages. Paul finishes up with reading Ozzys biography and we welcome new listeners and their comments.

Gordie meets and interviews John Siuntres from Word Balloon, for the first time! (...beamed in from the Boom Tube or surfing on cosmic waves.) The conversation is super comic book centric, while dipping in and out of sports talk, movie talk and who's the oldest guy in the room. John admits he is not a gardener, nor a fisherman, but loves being a city guy and gives Gordie tips on how to rule the podcast waves. Gordie meets celebrities,gave up on comics, stayed cool with Love and Rockets, Cerebus, Arthur Adams and fails his own test on old time hockey conferences. They both agree that Breaking Bad and Precious (based on the novel Push by Sapphire) are tough to watch, but Schindler's List can be enjoyed? more than once. EC comics, Jack Davis, Jason Aaron, Al Feldstein, Chris Neseman, Brubaker and wonder of wonders... Bendis gets mentioned. This one goes longer than usual, but we just kept going. Just listen and enjoy! Welcome new listeners!
