130. LIFERS - Rick Ness

Rick Ness is the Indiana Jones of UW-Madison. Sure, he might seem like a mild mannered teacher of 18th and 19th century transatlantic literature — but, actually, he’s one of the dudes from Chicago legends Figdish! On this episode, we talk to THAT dude about the ‘Dish’s forthcoming sorta-new third record (Rick will explain), after-parties at Club Shakespeare, releasing the Kraken, paying off your debt to Brad Wood with a few well placed Radiohead covers, scamming A&R guys, Zima, Kevin Cronin’s scatting, deadly microphone stands, and hot August nights with Neil Diamond. Jesus Christ, we love Rick.
