We got a super special one today, Pumpkinheads! We finally did it...we had the immense pleasure of interviewing the one, the only - JIMMY CHAMBERLIN!!!

We discuss Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, parenting, cars, life philosophies, why something does or doesn't make the cut for an album, why failure is essential, practicing your craft, facing fears and going for it and why Machina is one of his favorite Pumpkins albums.

We hope this interview will “make your palms sweat”.

In this special Bonus episode, we talk to Joel Pennington, Founder and CEO of Blackdot (an innovative company out of Austin, TX) about their special collaboration with collage artist John Craig to make his iconic artwork from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness available as officially licensed tattoos.

We discuss Joel's history with the Pumpkins (31 shows across 3 continents over the past 31 years), his company Blackdot and the importance of supporting artists and their work.
