Forget the last 69 Gordcasts, because Gordie and Paul are back with the BEST SOUNDING GORDCAST EVER!

Lost a newish friend, so I got together with another friend to talk of his life and his passing.

We  head down many streets both literally and figuratively, as Gordie returns from Chicago and C2E2.

Gordie has a great time, considering. Paul does indeed meet THE SHAGGS and his new album is out.

RADIOHEAD, DICK CLARK, MR. McFEELEY, VINCE B, MIKE NORTON, SKOTTIE YOUNG, JOE KUBERT AND HELL-RIDER all show up.

This episode, Paul is reading Please Kill Me by NY punk, LEGS MCNEIL and Gordie gets ready for C2E2. Paul plays a show and Gordie goes to a couple of shows.  Paul tell of how he met Crystal and Gordie makes friends with a BEAN.

This long delayed episode is so long that it took two weeks to edit.

Gordie and Paul finally get around to hundreds of topics, including: The new VAN HALEN and their recent show at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN and the bulk of the episode is about our dear, departed mentor - Harlan Briedenbach. Harlan was the owner of LOONEY TUNES records, the legendary used record store in NAPA, who brought counter-culture and musical awareness in the seventies. Paul goes to RANDEMONIUM and the MUSEUM OF MOVING IMAGE in NY and Gordie recommends BEING ELMO and reveals his new favorite LP ever.

ROCK SOLID PODCAST, TOM JONES, JOHN LENNON, WALT DISNEY, IGGY POP, THE BEATLES, RAMONES, THE MONKEES, DAVID BOWIE, BWANA DEVILS, IGGY POP and BOOTLEG DAVE all show up.

One hour and 40 minutes this episode to make up for the abscence. Use the pause button at your convenience.

Paul and Gordie are joined by Julie McKim again, and we talk  about living in New York, the movie going experience, sports and Julie correctly identifies the NY YANKEES colors, even though Gordie doth protest. VAN HALEN, JETHRO TULL, ERIC JOHNSON, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, THE MUPPET MOVIES, BATMAN, CORVETTE SUMMER, LASERBLAST, THE 49ERS and THE NY GIANTS all show up.

Gordie and Paul would like to discuss the Van Halen show streaming live, but don't get to do so. Jam packed first show of the year with: TOM DEMPSEY, TOM BELAND, THE BWANA DEVILS, SF UNSCENE, ALICE COOPER, WEIRD AL, STEVEN TYLER, THE FOUR SEASONS, THE FOUR TOPS, VAN HALEN, THE YARDBIRDS, JETHRO TULL, THE SCORPIONS, BANKSY, LIV TYLER, TORI SPELLING, HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE, MEGO  and what you would do if you had a time travelling machine.

Paul and Gordie celebrate Boxing Day the old fashioned way, with fifths of scotch and Christmas stories aplenty.

Paul receives many unexpected packages and Gordie gets a great package from the EOC Holiday Exchange, filled with the smell of old comics and autographs. Gordie has found a new vocabulary hiccup and talks PROG. Paul is a great sleeper and doesn't know that WILLIE AMES is now THE BIBLEMAN.  SPACE 1999, FRANK ZAPPA, DWEEZIL ZAPPA, ALICE COOPER, TWISTED FUCKING SISTER, LITA FORD, Y & T, CHEAP TRICK, BLITZEN TRAPPER, PUGWASH, NRBQ, THE MUFFS and REDD KROSS all show up too.

It's Pauls birthday so we sit down and talk for another rollicking GORDCAST. Paul does a little record shopping (shocking!) that leads to THE WHO's - QUADROPHENIA boxset. JETHRO TULL, ELTON JOHN, ROB ZOMBIE, JOHN LENNON and DIMEBAG DARRELL all show up too. Gordie checks out the temporary ice rink in downtown Napa and gives a postal update. The real gem of the night is talking about THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL from 1978, after being reminded of it from the EOC SKYPE N' DRAW night. (Featuring an excerpt from that conversation)

We close out with feelings of this time of year and unfortunately, black Friday madness.

NATHAN ALFARO joins Paul and Gordie for a three coast meet up. We begin with the weather, a GORDCAST opening songs re-cap and head onto music matters. REM, PRINCE, BWANA DEVILS and the never before told story of an unreported MONKEES reunion at PAUL WILLIAMS house. Nathan goes sailing and we mull over the VAN HALEN reunion, BLACK SABBATH O.G. style and how cool PETER BUCK is. We cap it off with some movie talk and pledge to do more Gordcasts.

An impromptu Gordcast rises from a sound check run through. Paul works with Photoshop and Gordie likes Curves, leading to learning riffs with KISS, from the Destroyer sessions. Gordie sends cryptic texts to Paul, which leads to not watching a documentary and much talk of Record Stores and how Comic Shops also leave you feeling pleasant. ABSOLUTELY SANE JOHNS, LOONEY TOONS, THE SMALL FACES, BEATLES COMIC BOOKS, TRAGEDY, LEO SLAYER, XANADUDES AND R.E.M. are all covered. Gordie explains the howthe POST OFFICE works around the holidays and Paul plans Thanksgiving.

Gordie is on meds from having a tooth pulled and Paul meets ACE FREHLEY and gives a Halloween update. Gordie listens to Rap music at WALKER RYANS PRO PARTY and gives glaring omissions from the DEBUT ALBUM episode. Naked people, MARILLION, ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINK, TOM JONES, JEFF BECK, BECK, OASIS, ROCKPILE, DAVE EDMUNDS, NICK LOWE, BRIAN WILSON, SPOTIFY and BIG COUNTRY come up.

Gordie and Paul talk about the occupy Wall Street revolution and HALLOWEEN! PHIL COSTELLO punches a guy, Paul gets claustrophobic in the crowd and defends JOHN COUGAR MELLEN-BLARP. We discuss ROGER DALTREY touring TOMMY live, take a few detours and settle in on HALLOWEEN memories and some of our costumes over the years. Gordie likes WONDERFUL WEBLOG (http://wonderfulwonderblog.blogspot.com) and gets his candy stolen. They both saw VAN HALEN when BTO opened for them, Paul has a job and Gordie sings a little.

Gordie goes on a nerd blind date with DAVID PRICE from Eleven O' Clock Comics. If you don't like Gordie's voice, this is the one for you. Who knew DAVID could talk non-stop for two hours straight! David tells us about every town he's lived in, how he met RENEE and meeting knuckleheads at comic cons that lead to podcast empires. We both root for the bull, have animal empathy and are oblivious to bi-racial relationship condemnation and sideways glances.  David says he will come back to another GORDCAST for an actual back and forth conversation and Gordie heads to A.P.E.  Another loooong episode, so enjoy!

Gordie and Paul take a stab at structure and discuss the best live and debut albums from their musical histories.

We begin with NAPA TRIVIA, the breakup of R.E.M and then move into our lists: KISS, CHEAP TRICK, FRAMPTON, PRIEST, VAN HALEN, PETE TOWNSHEND, NEIL YOUNG, STING, RAMONES, GEORGE HARRISON, PORCUPINE TREE, TOOL, MC5, SMITHEREENS, BOSTON, IRON MAIDEN, BIG COUNTRY, BEEGEES, DOORS  and...     oh my gosh, just about every band, ever! Gordie sings and Paul shows a little bit of empathy.  This one goes a little longer than usual, so strap in!

Gordie and Paul are all over the place, but keep coming back to ALICE COOPER. Paul goes to see BLONDIE live and Gordie defends Wikipedia.During this "singing" episode we talk about KISS, ALICE COOPER, BLONDIE, DAVID GROHL, J.GEILS, THE GOLDEN GIRLS, IGGY POP, more power pop, free time on the couch with NETFLIX, KENNY HOLSTEIN moments and teasing future GORDCAST topics.

Paul Bertolino survives Hurricane Irene in NY City, so we can talk about Gordie's new Power Pop direction and these other fascinating topics.

SEBASTIAN BACH, THE KNACK, THE RASBERRIES, THE SHOES, ELVIS COSTELLO, THE JAM, THE CLASH, JOE JACKSON, KISS, piano karaoke, MR. BIG, TOM JONES, CHEAP TRICK and their live DVD of SGT PEPPERS, which leads to Gordie telling his story of watching the film from 1978 recently and digging EARTH WIND & FIRE amongst much ridiculousness. Gordie ends by recommending the NNF: ROCK SOLID podcast.

JORDAN PHEGLEY joins Gordie from Happy Valley OR. We begin our conversation with tales from Jordan's SAN DIEGO COMIC CON experience and then ramble around from topic to topic. Comic related Podcasts, STAN SAKAI, RICHARD STARKINGS, SF WONDERCON, EMERALD CITY CON, DCU ONLINE, 80's cartoons come to life, CAPTAIN AMERICA and GREEN LANTERN movies, POTA, DC REBOOT, DOCTOR WHO, TOM BAKER, MONARCH OF THE GLEN, ZEN, EOC SKETCH CHALLENGE and AMY WINEHOUSE. This one is nerdtacular.

Back from a couple of "special" episodes, Paul Bertolino joins Gordie for talk of MICHAEL JACKSON, R.E.M. re-issues, UFO, THE ROLLING STONES, ZEPPELIN, THE BYRDS, crappy 90's bands and drop D tuning, the GORDCAST BOOKCLUB, Train stories, RINGO STARR bashing,  DAVE CHAPPELE'S BLOCK PARTY, estate sales/swap meet love, talking to record store/comic book patrons, JOSE MENDEZ and being a STACY ADAMS man.

The rare and seldom heard first stab at podcasting by Gordie Adams and Paul Bertolino from DEC 2008.

Paul works with Gordies dad at the Post Office, hanging out at LOONEY TUNES, early FACEBOOK days, MYSPACE going away, NAPA talk, TRADE FAIR and PETER CETERAS vision of the future. Shopping music, PORCUPINE TREE, LED ZEPPELIN is forever for teenagers,  METAL SHREDDING, ALICE COOPER, AC/DC, METALLICA, THE DOORS, GUNS 'N ROSES, lunch pail collecting and of course...   KISS!

Gordie welcomes CHRIS NESEMAN, his main inspiration for creating THE GORDCAST.   If you like sports, comics and celebrations of all things geeky, you will enjoy our conversation.  "21" THE ROBERTO CLEMENTE STORY, NL Central juggling in the MLB,  TOM BELAND & TSSTG, LOVE AND ROCKETS (the comic), rescuing dogs & the Pitbull reputation, females in and around comics, DOC MARTIN, DOCTOR WHO (..yet no Dock Ellis talk.) and how we find time to enjoy TV, comics and movies.. Thanks for all the support from all the Gordcast fans!

In between talking about allergies and the weather, we manage to wedge in mostly music talk. *INCLUDING A QUITE GRAPHIC JIMI HENDRIX SEX STORY.*  We earn the explicit tag this episode.

Paul reads STEVEN TYLER'S biography, is planning on KEITH RICHARD'S next and Gordie will read it together for book club.

We discuss ALICE COOPER, QUEEN, BRIAN JOHNSON REDD KROSS and pay tribute to GUNS 'N ROSES.

Paul get's a job near the old CBGB'S and went record shopping on 9-11 Gordie laughs alot.   Cheers!

Paul and Gordie are joined by JULIE McKIM for a Gordcast exclusive. Julie connects PETCO with Andy Warhols Factory and we begin with LADY GA GA, DIAMONDSNAKE, LED ZEPPELIN , BLACK ANGELS, MGMT, LAURA NYRO, DALE BOZZIO, ERLAN, BOB DYLAN and finally get to THE FOO FIGHTERS. Gordie loves the new Foo Fighters and convinces Paul, though julie needs no convincing.

We discuss producers and Julie dances like PAT BENATAR as a hooker. Taylor Hawkins sings like Dennis Wilson and we find out what street we grew up on.

Paul sings! Gordie sings!    ...and Julie does not in public or private, because she is the Dangerous Aunt.  Ramble on!

No this is not an all Spin Doctors podcast.

Gordie gets a haircut and Paul hasn't paid for one in years.  Paul meets ICE T and becomes a fan. We talk first about PRINCE completely blowing our minds, then fit in the Royal wedding, Rebecca Black, Justin Beiber, Gordies old kitchen cabinets and a shout out to one of the Gordcast faithful.  Cheers!

Gordie is back from his holiday in the British Isles and tells Paul Bertolino of his travels. Avoiding London altogether, Gordie visits small villages, the Holy Grail of Castles in Scotland and doesn't hear any leaf blowers. Paul has moved and runs into Lou Reed and Robert Plant. They both are both Re-creationists and would love to raid Napa neighborhoods for photos.

...a hum is slightly pervasive and I hope for these audio glitches to disappear.   Cheers!

Gordies voice is doubled and echoed all through his talk with TOM BELAND. We begin by talking about Canadian Parliment which slams full on into a 20 minute Marijuana discussion, complete with pizza and The Legend Of Zelda. Sports is up next with World Series talk, posting football scores in the window for the guys at the bakery across the street from the Lovejoy Mansion, sports cosplay and how STRAT-O-MATIC BASEBALL is more fun than D&D.

We finally get around to talking TRUE STORY SWEAR TO GOD and Toms internet goes down.

Hope you can get through, but honestly, Tom does most of the talking.

In an unprecedented Gordcast, Gordie and Paul wrangle previous guest: Nathan Alfaro and new guest: Brian Nash to provide a glimpse into when four friends get together around a mic and let fly. (...Gordie a little too much.)

MIKE NESMITH seems to be the main topic, but we hit on THE MONKEES, JUDAS PRIEST, THE FOO FIGHTERS, PRINCE THE BANANA SPLITS, BURT WARD, WIL WHEATON, the roots of Alt Country and way too much table banging for emphasis.

The sound can be a bit jarring at times, so hold onto yer ears.

Gordie is joined by Ty Domke to talk about music, UFOs and plumbing. Ty goes to his first concert at the LA Forum, wants to play her-monica and knows a little bit about a lot of things. Joe Satriani sets off the fire alarm at The Uptown Theater where the sound is incredible. Big Country and UFO makes Gordie smile and we finish up talking about wine, Maynard from Tool and Art Bell.  (Jake Shimabukuro, The Rolling Stones, KISS, The Doors, The Southern Death Cult, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Huey Lewis also come up.)

Paul Bertolino joins Gordie to discuss the weather once again. (Paul finally buys winter boots!)

Gordie plays gin rummy with his family and compiles his favorite Beatles songs and stays "posi 2011." 

We discuss SGT PEPPER (the movie) and other Robert Stigwood gems. We compare and contrast Saturday Night Fever with Samurai Night Fever and locations in and around Brooklyn.

Gordie delivers christmas parcels to Austalians and we confuse KANSAS with STYX with PARADISE ALLEY.

Football wraps up our discussion as we welcome new listeners.  Enjoy.

Gordie and Paul record a landmark episode by staying home on New Years Eve instead of being on the loose in the New York streets. Gordies impessive Yeti and finally using Audio Hijack, vastly improves the quality. Gordie is not going to see DiAnno in a small club and brings up picture discs, which leads to PROG discussion.

Paul sings, reads and ice skates in Central Park. (...and falls.)

We close up by wondering where last years Christmas presents are.

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.

Gordie is joined by long time friend, singer, artist and workout advocate - GEOFF ELLSWORTH.

Geoff tells stories of the road and the genesis of why touring was important in the 2000's, Authentic cowboy shows, The India question, Irishmen on the road and how to get female attention on stage.

Gordie stays out of the way and lets the stories unfold and Geoff sings exclusive previews of songs he's writing. You heard it here first!

Check out GEOFF ELLSWORTH at - http://www.townedandies.com/

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!

Gordie is joined by his mom, RUTH ADAMS!

We begin the conversation with EC COMICS talk and why Ruth and Gordie turned out the way they did. Ruths mom goes into scary neighborhoods to spread the Planned Parenthood gospel in the 50's, Ruth gets married and moves to California. Gordie puts a bean up his nose, digs a hole and gets his Halloween candy stolen. (...again.)

Ruth remembers waking up Christmas morning with a fully decorated tree, confuses "Special Olympics" with "Cub Scout Olympics" and goes for a walk in the sunshine.

QUEEN at the beginning and end.

Paul Bertolino and Gordie begin by discussing the re-opening of the fabled UPTOWN THEATER in Napa. Gordie doesn't know who to obsess about, mentors kids at the skatepark and their cassette tape making and watches BIG FAN. Paul buys DVD sets from the 70's and has met BRIAN POSEHN less times than Gordie has, even though his roommate is friends with him.

PAUL SINGS!  

Gordie "tweaks his amp" and we forget to talk about W.A.S.P. til after the outro.

Paul Bertolino joins "The Gord" and tells of his backstage experience at THE PLASTIC ONO BAND show in Oakland Cailfornia. SEAN LENNON heard there was Guinness here, TOM AYERS finally freaks out and YOKO gets in shape on stage. Gordie falls in love with UFO all over again, realizes ROXY MUSIC may be the progenitors of new wave and runs into Adrian Sahim at Home Depot. We wrap up with PERSEPHONES BEES gig info and get pretty controversial with Nazis and Jesus talk.

Paul Bertolino is rocking the nation once again, mere minutes before taking the stage.

Paul can't wait to get out of the hotel room, reveals the guy who wore the cape at Napa High and still doesn't have TV (...even if the WHO are playing at the Super Bowl)

Gordie tells of fan recognition, likes the ANVIL documentary, watches the Super Bowl Halftime Show, realizes that KISS is the Sinatra of his generation and would appreciate some sort of feedback. 

(...Comedy after the outro.)

Gordie is joined by Nathan Alfaro and Adam Sullivan in picturesque Petaluma CA to discuss the super-special, ultimate directors cut of WATCHMEN. Adam builds a C3PO model and then destoys it. Nathan encourages Gordie to watch 30 Rock. Kids say the darndest things and Gordie is nearly finished with Battlestar Gattica. We all get the details of SUPERMAN IV wrong and we wrap up with opinions of the new STAR TREK movie.     (NERD-FEST!)

...technical issues occured, making some weird edits, but enjoy never the less.

Gordie welcomes, Doug Cuffman to talk about corn, being a vegetarian, slipping from said vegetarianism, building  dreams thru web-pages and fixing the world via Worlds of Warcraft.
Gordie wishes he would've seen Trish break both of her arms and recalls the first time he played music to an audience.

Paul Bertolino joins me once again on the first official GordCast. 
We mourn the death of the mighty Ron Asheton, debate the true talents of Elvis and Sinatra. Gordie admits that Janis Joplin eventually won his heart and wonder of wonders       ...we talk about KISS.
