Ep. 2: MxPx's "Life in General" with Bret Griffin

Glenn interviews Bret about MxPx's monumental 1996 album Life in General, which set him on a musical journey he didn't see coming. From pop punk to ska, to playing it, to emo and on to heavier stuff, to music festivals, friends, the vinyl community, and more, we go deep on why Bret owes it all to this album. We praise Yuri "The Machine" Ruley, discuss growing up in youth groups, reminisce about singing GSF at the top of our lungs at Furnace Fest '23, revisit the themes of Life in General (restlessness, growing pains, faith, independence, feeling rebellious, even if you're not sure what it is you're rebelling against), and consider how those ideas land differently with time and perspective.As mentioned, here's links to the Kwik-E-Mart Bandits:‎The Kwik-E-Mart Bandits - Apple MusicThe Kwik-E-Mart Bandits | SpotifyHere's the Reissues episode with Jason Zeimet of Unoriginal Vinyl - great listening in advance of next week's episode!Reissues - For the Love of Vinyl - Apple Podcasts
