Episode 10 starts with a bang! Alyssa talks about playing in Eight Bells and Joining Lord Dying, how she started playing music (on a toy piano). She also talks about her other hustles including the digital portrait she did of Jeff’s dog Monkey, which leads to chatting about her spectacular pitbull/husky pooch Crom…who knows the “riddle of steal”, and doing cover art for the Magnetic Eye Records Black Sabbath Vol. 4 tribute record. "Sabbath chat" continues with another great story about attempting to sing NIB while too drunk. Alyssa is another in our long line of guests with a shady “older cousin” who introduced her to lots of music. Oh, and WILDCARD BITCH!At the merch table we check out Alyssa's new nothing LP the Great Dismal (which is nearly impossible to find online now). JD shows off the new Zeal and Ardor LP, and Iceburn's classic Hephaestus on vinyl. Jeff shows off the Ecstatic Vision LP he bought after the Nighthawk episode and a live Isis record on Ipecac titled 2.25.10. Then Alyssa whips out a new pedal because "sometimes gear just shows up at our house"; this one was an Abominable Electronics Hellmouth that was a gift from Kurt Ballou.
We wrap up talking about Philly heavy music scene, and Alyssa highlights Fight Amp as a key influence for her. We veer into politics, where Alyssa reminds us that after the Spanish Flu we got the roaring 20s, so that’s good. She also talks about going to art school and why you need to know the rules to really effectively break them. Alyssa mentions the "Mandy Thing" and why it’s OK to put pink everywhere now (even in metal), and talks about being a woman in a bunch of traditionally male environments (Metal, tattooing).
