78: David Cave & the Search for Meaning through Recovery

David Cave is a former skrams vocalist from Denver, Colorado - which is where most of the stories in this conversation take place. Because before moving to Boston and quickly becoming one of my best friends, David lead an entirely different life. From beginning to drink and smoke at a young age, to getting in recovery through meetings and having a sponsor, to eventually finding some peace with the universe, David has lived a lot of life in just 33 years. Now, 13 years sober, David finds himself reading a lot of existentialist works, in Dharmic meditation, and seeking a lot of meaning as he moves into perhaps the biggest next step in his life - fatherhood. We had a lot of fun recording this conversation late one Saturday night after eating a bunch of Buffalo Wild Wings, and it was totally time well spent. I hope you enjoy this one!MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Spanish Love Songs album, “Brave Faces Everyone,” which comes out this Friday (2/7) through Pure Noise Records.- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Losers” and “Kick.” You can check out the entire “Brave Faces Everyone” album through all of the streaming platforms!
