#399 with Daniel John of Tom Grrrl: Razorcake Podcast
While I was in Los Angeles, Daryl invited me over to his home for a lunch of stir fried veggies and rice. It was delicious. I put a lot of hot sauce on my plate, because recently I've been reallyinto hot sauce. Daryl asked me if I would be interested in doing a Razorcake podcast. My heart melted, and I had a few minutes to compile 14 songs using only my mobile phone. In retrospect, I would have chosen different songs, but under the gun I went for all killer, no filler. It was great to get to talk about Tom Grrrl. It sometimes feels as if I am no longer involved with it. Even though I still am, in my own elusive way. I also really enjoyed the part where we discussed what it feels like to live in Wisconsin and not have any friends. Very different from the 4 years I spent in Austin, or the formative time I spent growing up in San Diego. All of which are touched upon in this rare exclusive interview.

Feel free to get in touch. Particularly if you live in the midwest and want to jam. I'm still in need of tite buds.
Straight up,
Daniel John // TOM GRRRL
