We thought that Secular Pains was a band, but it turns out that Secular Pains is a guy. His song “Cut My Hair” was featured on our #36 podcast, which is interesting in light of the thoughts he shares below on the subject of hair and mothers. He lives outside of Toronto, Canada, evidently not […]
Ben Farley (aka Benjamin Lee Farley, Benbo Benskie, Benjelly, Packrat, Toxoplasmodon, Venyamin Wetkoff, Benjamiah Bunkum…) was featured on Holy Crap Records Podcast #38 for his song “Let Me Live in Your House.” He reports that he has finally formed a band around his solo stuff: Ben & the Couch Crashers, and is also in the […]
