KraftwagenDespite this week’s title our episode is so Germanic that we might have been better off sipping some hefe-weizen rather than our drams of 18 year old Aberlour.

We open with an examination of a fan created copy of the German-only Kashgar and close with a look at making German autos with Kraftwagen. Many hard consonants and guttural utterings can be found in between, including talk about something called Kickstarter.

KeyflowerWe are undeterred. We are punk and grunge and garage. We are sweating and drinking and fumbling about in the studio for show notes. We are tired but persistent. We are Rune Age and Noir. We are Heatstroke, coming to a venue near you and turning it up to 11.

All that and a long discussion of a new classic, Keyflower.

SylvionWell, this one certainly got away from us, didn’t it? Our docket looked thin with a new idea, a few apologies, a clarification of mission, and a few game summaries, but somehow we reached the two hour mark.

I guess we didn’t expect our summaries to become full blown reviews, and we also forgot to factor in the fun we were having. I imagine not recording in three weeks played a role as well. Just more of us to love, I guess.

THE DOCKET:

02:05 — Sylvion (review)
33:30 — All Apologies
40:00 — Ardbeg Corryvreckkan
52:11 — Secret Question #1
59:55 — The Hitchhikers Guide to Punching Cardboard (Mission Statement)
72:55 — Future Scheduling
74:57 — Asgard (unexpected review)
