Ahoy hoy, black-clad youth and kinky goblins! Welcome to another spooktacular episode of Jam Sandwich. On today's installment I'm once again joined by my old friend Luca Cimarusti. As was the case the last time he was on the show, we over served ourselves a bit and things got loose. Some questionable opinions are definitely shared. The original pla…

Hey lickers! Welcome to another installment of your favorite toilet pig show, Jam Sandwich. On this 'sode, I welcome my lovely wife back to the show to discuss one of our favorite bands, ABBA. We do a decent job talking about the band, but we also get into a tizzy and as is usually the case when CJ comes on and we both get a little nasty. She even …

Hot dang, it's another installment of Jam Sandwich, babies! We've gotsa real juicy one for youse guys today. In the world of podcasting there's dream guests and then there's Josh Androsky. What can I say, I love to butter this beautiful man up! I've known this sweet prince for several years now and whenever our paths cross both laughs and consensua…

Greetings curbs dogs, ramp rats and skate betty's alike and welcome to another installment of Jam Sandwich. Much like JS053, this one is more of a radio show than a podcast. No guests, just your horned up stoner host to guide you through a magical journey of curated tunes. This episode is all about skate videos and the music that lies within their …

Ahoy hoy mateys and welcome back aboard the good sub that is Jam Sandwich! On today's episode, we're joined once again by good friend of the show Mike Conway! If you're a long time licker of the sammich, you're already familiar with Mr. Conway and what to expect during his visits. For example, we managed to bring up Skankin' Pickle within the first…

Well shoot, Joe McAdam makes a quick return to the Palace of Sin for another hot steamy Jam Sandwich. This episode was recorded on May 18th, which also happened to be the same day Chris Cornell of Soundgarden passed away. Joe suggested we listen to Badmotorfinger to memorialize the fallen singer, but if I'm being perfectly honest I was never really…

Today's episode is a real doozey. Our old friend Farout returns to airwaves, bringing along with him his tourmate of the moment, Coolzey. We recorded this bad bish a while ago, but you're just getting it now because thats the way things go. My sincere apologies to Farout and Coolzey for not being timely. Coolzey specifically plugs a bunch of shows …

Hey lickers, I'm back! Sorry for the vacation; had a get little getaway. Just kidding, I got an HBO GO password from my parents, so I finally got to see The Wire. Now, 45 days later, the show has returned. I'm stoked to help reinstate the show with a fresh guest that I've wanted on since the beginning, Joe McAdam. Joe and I used to do a different p…

On today's installment of the show, I'm joined by my good friend Adam "Squirtzel" Hirzel. We're close friends in due thanks to the fact that we like a lot of the same music. We worked together in a record store and he's damn fine at that job. We discuss Link Wray's Three Track Shack period and how it's some of the finest American music ever recorde…

Whoa, it's a bonus episode! You might be asking yourself "But Nick, sometimes you take a whole week off for no reason what so ever. Wouldn't it make sense to bank roll this thing over till next week, in case you get lazy again?" While that actually makes the most sense, no, I will not be doing that. I play by my own rules, babies. This is a very sp…

My, what a long strange trip this episode turned out to be! On today's show I'm joined by my old friend Luca Cimarusti. An accomplished musician (Luggage, Heavy Times, Catburglars) and music journalist, this proud Italian is one of my favorite people to discuss and argue the merits of our favorite albums. It's kind of crazy it took me so long to ge…

Ahoy, maties! Settle in and get ready for another large serving of Jam Sandwich. On today's show I'm joined by Drug Factory Press kingpin Ryan Duggan. As a former room/bandmate, we've spent a lot of time together and on this episode we get to catch up. We listen to Black Flag and the Minutemen while discussing Ryan's work, our shared histories and …

Hold onto your balls, it's an all new episode of Jam Sandwich! My good friend Brad VandenBerg returns so we could get down to 1981 Rick James classic Street Songs. He's a very kinky guest, the kinda that makes you call him dad-dah! He also created the Jam Sandwich corporate logo, so you know the man has good taste. We spent the afternoon at a brewe…

Holy schlitts, Jam Sandwich is now 50 deep. I've now been recording episodes of this show for a year, give or take a few weeks when I took a sabbatical. On this episode I'm joined once again by my good friend Kevin Goggin. He's the show's composer and he delivered an extra special treat for the special occasion. Today we listen to Devo's Duty Now F…

Today's episode is all about redemption. Redemption podcast. Way back on JS005, I attempted to do a reggae episode, but I not only did massive bong rips, clouding my fragile mind, but my guests didn't know squat or even care for the genre. It's one of the best worst episodes. It took me a while, but I invited my good friend Ethan D'Ercole to join m…

Close your eyes and make a wish, for there's much to celebrate! Today's VERY SPECIAL episode Jam Sandwich marks two wonderful occasions. I'm joined once again by my lovely wife Claire, but there's a bit of a twist. This was recorded at the Palace of Sin on Valentine's Day 2017 and as a romantic gesture, I promised my love that I wouldn't be overly …

Friend of the show Marty DeRosa returns to the Palace of Sin for another thrilling installment of Jam Sandwich. Marty's pick of the week was N.W.A.'s 1988 debut classic, Straight Outta Compton. Along the way, we discuss the effect gangsta rap had on us as kids, particularly in regards to women's hygiene. It was educational to say the least. We were…

The world's finest guest returns as I once again sit down with my lovely wife for another thrilling installment of Jam Sandwich. It wasn't really planned, but I had a guest cancel so I figured why not bring in this sexy, educated woman once again? We listen to It's All Around You by Chicago's very own Tortoise, while I bombard her with nothing but …

Grab an Old Style and a steamed dog, as my dear friend Meg MacDuff joins us for today's episode. Meg is an absolute ripper who's been shredding Chicago and beyond for well over a decade now. Our old bands used to play shows together, but these she's currently doing her thing in Bleach Party and Montrose Man, which I highly recommend you check out. …

Holy smokies, Goodrich Gevaart is back in the Palace of Sin for another installment of Happy Hour Sam'mich Time. We had so much fun on last week's episode that I convinced Goody to keep the party going!! Hey... you party? That's good cause you're in the right place. Today we listen to the self titled, 1973 debut release from Betty Davis, which gets…

Friend of the show Goodrich Gevaart returns to jam yer airwaves once again on this episode of THE 'WICH. We were supposed to focus on glam rock, but instead we both ended up grazing in the grass too long and Goody's inner chav came out. Then that chav wouldn't go away. This episode might as well be called CHAV TALK, which makes for a great knuckle …

After a brief holiday break, my dear friend Mike Conway returns to the show to help me usher in a new year. In 2016, I really embraced the 7" so I figured we'd start 2017 with a bunch of classic punk 45s cause thats my sheee-it. As is tradition, Mike makes some incredibly outlandish statements and I react accordingly. On this episode we discuss Geo…

Jah humbug, lickers! On today's episode, I welcome back my lovely wife Claire to discuss some Christmas classics. It was also done in candle light, wrapped in blankets while drinking beers in our dining room. We talk about "wet slappies" and embracing snug season. This one is fun because it gets sexual. It'll warm your bones quicker than a big cup …

I'm tickled pink to have my good friend Tommy McNamara on today's show. He's one of those folks who you can tell really loves music by hearing him talk about it. His very presence is straight up angelic. I love Tommy and I think you will too. Mr. Mac frequently does his "Unplugged" show in New York and I highly encourage you to go check him out. We…

Sure the whole world is on fire and all I can do is think about the impending apocalypse, but for today's episode I simply needed to blow off some steam by getting stoned to the bone and giggling like a wee little sex pig. As is becoming a reoccurring theme, I had a guest cancel last minute so I went back to Friesen Point Studios so that super prod…

Welcome back, lickers! On today's episode I'm joined by my good friend Brad VandenBerg. I've mentioned him on the show before and he created the Jam Sandwich logo, so know that it looks good because of this sweet man. On today's show, we dig into the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City because it's probably the best video game soundtrack ever…

Phew, we've finally made it to the end of Skatoberfest! I'm not gonna lie, it was somewhat exhausting doing all these extra episodes and I did it in the name of ska. Can't say I saw that coming when I started the show. Given that Marty started the series, we had to wrap things up with super producer Dan. I ventured back to Friesen Point Studios and…

Trick or treat, pound my meat, your dink is something good to beat! With Halloween just around the corner I felt like dropping a special treat in your goody bags, so I'm reissuing an early, Halloween themed episode of my old show Revolutions Per Minute. Prior to hosting Jam Sandwich, I did a similar show with my dear friend Joe McAdam (@joemcadam o…

On this episode we're skanking right along with the third installment of Skatoberfest! My good friend Sara Bassick (Johnny & The Limelights, Summer Girlfriends) joins me as we visit Berkeley's own Operation Ivy's Energy, considered by many to be the very first ska-core album. We discussed our early punk roots, what the Boston scene was like for a y…

Trick or treat! This episode is kinda both? Welcome to a seasonal spread from Jam Sandwich. On today's episode you're given a crash course in history of the Misfits. Think of it as Cliff Burton's Notes, if you will. 'Fits 101, dudeguy. I've been sick as a dog this past week so I wasn't able to bring over a guest, but I figured now would be a good t…

Nope, you're not skallucinating, Jam Sandwich is back with part two of our Skatober festivities. As soon as I committed to this themed batch of episodes, I knew I had to invite Mike Conway back to the studio. After discussing 60s ska last week, we dive into the late 70s with the all time classic One Step Beyond from London's very own Madness. This …

Editors note: Make sure yer ears are nice 'n' clean before listening to this episode, cause your auditory senses are about to get filled to the brim with all kinds of jam! My good friend (and, I swear to Jah, one of the greatest stand up comedians ever) Mike Lebovitz joins me as we listen to the Silver Jews American Water LP. Mike's got great taste…

Glückliche Skatoberfest! Back in August I complained on air about the frequency in which ska is brought up on the show. Friend and frequent guest Marty DeRosa suggested I embrace the phenomenon and dedicate a full month to the genre, thus Skatoberfest was born. All October long, I'll be releasing a special Skatoberfest themed episode, each and ever…

Like Iggy Pop in the 1980's, this episode is a real wild child. I'm FINALLY joined by one of my best friends in the world, Chris "Irish Eyes Are Smiling" Moran. I spelled his name differently in the title because A. he's a teacher and quite frankly I don't want any of his students to discover this naughty show and B. he sometimes calls himself Curt…

Hello friends and possible enemies! Welcome to another thrilling installment of Jam Sandwich. Today's show is so fresh it hasn't had time to cool, as it was recorded at the last possible minute. I'm joined by the ever so lovely Sarah Shockey as we dig into Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual and some assorted 45s I had laying around by the turntable. H…

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you downloaded this episode before 9/22/16, go ahead and get it again as I pumped up the volume. Sorry for the trouble! My good friend (and the composer of our theme song) Kevin Goggin returns to the ultra high frequencies of Jam Sandwich! This episode was recorded at 1 AM so we may or may not have already had a few. We dig into s…

After several technical hiccups, Jam Sandwich is finally broadcasting from my new studio, the Palace of Sin. I say "hiccups" because I recorded an episode with our good friend Goodrich Gevaart, but then I fudged something in post and lost the audio. Durr... So, in a tight jam, I invited my beautiful wife to get up off the couch and join me for anot…

After taking an unplanned holiday last week, Jam Sandwich returns in classic form. On today's episode, Super Producer Dan and I break in the all new Friesen Point Studios after I botched my first attempt with home recordings. We listen to The Cure and Joy Division, talk about our sexual awakenings, and briefly contemplate time. There's a few little…

Today's guest is my best one yet because after the show was finished, I got to go home and fornicate with them. For the 25th episode I asked my wife Claire to join me at Friesen Point Studios to discuss our favorite shared band, Belle and Sebastian, along with the two songs that played during our wedding and some other crap. I have to wonder if I s…

Today's guest has many titles. If you've seen him perform stand up comedy, you might know him as Sammy Arechar. Perhaps you know him by his work on the ones and twos as Yung Zucchini. His mother calls him her "sweet prince." The Milwaukee native joins us today and he brought with him I Need A Haircut by Biz Markie. Such a solid album. Thanks Yung Z…
