Episode 009 is the first podcast of 2010 and our hosts, Skip and Robot, are excited to be back and raise the bar for 2010. After a brief introduction from Pleasure-P with Haitian Fresh (“No Panties On”), our hosts pay homage to holiday traveling, Gigi’s traffic troubles and the smooth taste of Natural Ice Lager. Our hosts discuss the LFL and how the season is turning out for LA’s Temptation. Skip and Robot count down Los Angeles’ most wanted criminals and offer encouragement to struggling criminals. This episode features a trip to Joxer Daly’s to see The Whiskey Saints play to a packed house. The guys get an interview with the band and grille them about the band’s history, choice of a name and fashion items. The Whiskey Saints played an amazing show and are definitely worth going to see. If you’re a fan of Wilco, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Americana Folk Rock, you’re guaranteed to have a great time with The Whiskey Saints.

Holiday abounds as STRLA takes on Christmas in 2009! Our episode opens with Skip and Robot discussing the modern day atrocity that is Christmas music and they reflect on the Christian tradition of outshining every other religion in the world when it comes to flaunting their holiday. After a brief recap of the previous week’s episode and a shout out to Adrian, the guitar player of American Idiots, our hosts partake in a brief gift exchange before heading out to Good Hurt in Mar Vista to see music legend Mike Watt perform with his band The Secondmen! This is the show’s proudest moment, as we were able to obtain a 90 minute interview from Mike Watt, who has played and recorded with The Minutemen, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy Pop, The Lemonheads and Sonic Youth just to name a few. He is credited with inventing Alternative rock and has had many of the most influential rock albums (such as Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic) dedicated to him in honor of his enormous influence. Despite the fact that he is one of the most in-demand, widely respected musicians in the rock and roll world he is a hell of a good guy and at 52 years old, still rocks like a mother-fucker!

Episode 007 starts out with a lively discussion of our somewhat difficult to understand and nonsensical episode numbering system and how it will plague us through the entire run of the show.  We reflect on the given nickname of the show (STRLA), Skip getting Gigi drunk and beating her at tennis and holiday fun including family reunions and some seriously intense ping-pong.  Our hosts discuss Munchos, the prize champion of convenience store food and how no matter the temptation, gas station ham sandwiches should be avoided.  Episode 007 features our first of what will likely be many apology segments where we do our best to express actual remorse for the many fine people and establishments we have offended with our silly broadcast.  This week’s outing features a trip to the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. to see American Idiots, L.A.’s #1 Green Day Tribute Band.
