Fresh Fries with Alexander

We're checking back in with Alexander. 

Today we're going to learn about what life is like for them in Moncton, New Brunswick. 

This might be the only artist where we talk about anybody from this province in Canada.

Check out some BANDCAMP action and read on!

1. Let's not pretend.  Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint?

-- In Canada, I would say probably Mary Browns Chicken.  In the USA, it’s so tough to pick as the variety is foolish, but In & Out Burger is pretty classic. 

Fresh Fries with Mathieu Vilandre of Fuck The Facts

There are certain bands who just cannot get enough of my inane questions. It would appear that our new found friends from Gatineau, Quebec, are one of those groups.

Well, if they keep answering, I'll keep publishing. Seriously though, without the bands, there's no us, and I appreciate the fact that they give me the opportunity to speak of myself in the first person plural... You know, the royal we.

Now's the perfect time to stream a song or two on BANDCAMP.

1. Let's not pretend.  Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint?

I will answer through the form of a YouTube video. You’re welcome. 

Fresh Fries with Gary of Nuclear Winter

It's probably safe to say that many of us are feeling the crunch of the pandemic and we're tightening our belts a little bit here and there. 

One of the things I've tried to cut out is eating out, especially fast food places.

So, these are a great way for me to live vicariously through others' stories of deliciousness. The best part about reading this one is that it won't make me head out to my car and spend $20 on lunch because Gary is from Hare, Zimbabwe.

He's a leading member of the metal scene out there. It's probably safe to say that everybody in the metal scene is a leading member as there just aren't too many.

But it's always cool to hear more about other countries and ways of life. So stream his EP on BANDCAMP and let's get to it.

1. Let's not pretend.  Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint?

There's 3 really good places here in Zimbabwe.. Pizza Inn, Alechi and Mochachos. Pizza Inn is my go to place for pizza. 

Fresh Fries with Tom McKay

Now, normally, we keep these columns going in print, but as Tom McKay is also a YouTuber, apparently he felt he'd come across the best if he took his to the voice box via the world wide weberverse.

So, I guess you're going to have to wait before you stream his work on BANDCAMP until after the video is over, but you should totally do that.

Fresh Fries with Paul Goings of Shadow People

Let's had down to Baton Rouge where we're talking to Paul Goings of Shadow People. 

He's kindly agreed to talk to us about Fast Food.

Check out their latest EP on BANDCAMP.

Just read on.

1. Let's not pretend. Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint? 

Paul Goings: Fast food's fucking disgusting, I’m not pretending, there are way better guilty pleasure foods out there .So I have several serious health issues that are shrinking my life span exponentially. 

One of the very unfortunate side effects is an ability of my body to tolerate grease. So no meat, butter or fried foods. The pain of withdrawals from cutting these foods out of my diet was second only to that of opiates. 

I mean opiates were way, way worse, but fast food was second. Still can’t manage to edge out cigarettes or Coke. But anyway, now that I‘ve covered the forward to this novel of an answer I’ll say again that fast food is fucking gross. 

Fresh Fries with Bobby Demoss of WoR

The last time we heard from the North Carolina Groove Metallers Young Master Funderburk was telling us about some delicious beers. You can take a look at that HERE.

As I do at Glacially Musical, I'm getting to the heart of this band, and the biggest question I have about any band before I get into them is what kind of fried chicken do they eat?

See, it's important to know that the art you consume isn't tainted or sketchy. Fried chicken and White Castle's is how I learn about you.

I'm not crazy. I keep telling my wife that I'm not crazy.

Make sure you're giving their tunes a listen whilst they make you hungry on SPOTIFY.

Fresh Fries with Patrick de La Grange of Ghost:Hello

Recently it's been asked of me that I slow down on my consumption of the fast foods. I'm going to decide that's based on the 19 lbs I've added to my already ample frame rather than the fact that I'm wasting money hand over fist.

So, I'm really enjoying living vicariously through the folks who've decided I'm worthwhile enough to the their thoughts and feelings on the lovely poison.

Today's guest is the new drummer for Ghost:Hello.

Well...

What does he eat god damn it!

1. Let's not pretend. Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint? 

My favorite would have to be Five Guys. If you haven’t had their Cajun fries and their bacon double cheeseburger we can’t be friends. 

Fresh Fries with Endast

Calgary plays host to the mighty metal force of ENDAST. It's time you get familiar with them. Here's a great VIDEO.

After you watch this video, hear the lyrics, the songs, and the amazing playing. Your first thought is going to be how you'd be willing, nay, begging to hear a treatise on their lives, philosophy, and influences.

Unfortunately, you've got an interview about Fast Food.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

1. Let's not pretend.  Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint?

It's a toss-up between Taco Bell and maybe Carls Jr.

2. When I was young, I remember hanging out at Hardee's eating roast beef (not their fried chicken), and smoking cigarettes at the table.

Fresh Fries with Draemora

You know, you're probably thinking about this Covid-19 Pandemic as much as I have and you know what? 

I'm tired of all the food that's around my house in South St. Louis, except that Shaved Duck. It's been too long since I've gotten a smoked half chicken.

So, my comfort food has become literal food. It sucks when something metaphorical becomes literal and your existential crisis is exacerbated by the fact there's no McDonald's close enough to get the fries home quickly enough to eat them.

So, today we're talking to a Seattle band called Draemora. They rock that progressive death metal there. As a Gen X'er who's been at war with Seattle since 1993, it's nice to hear some extreme metal out of that city.

Whilst you're getting hungry reading about what they're eating, check out their latest VIDEO.

Fresh Fries with Brandy and the Butcher

Let's check back in with Brandy and the Butcher. For the life of me, I'm still not 100% sure I know what they are. 

It's seeming like it might time to check out that album of theirs again. 

I know I reviewed it a few weeks back. It's something....that's for true.

Well, I took a moment to revisit the album, and I can tell you that's still a little difficult to articulate in a concise fashion, but I'll tell you that I did go ahead and preorder it on vinyl.

Dude....$18 shipped...Go to BANDCAMP NOW!

1. Let's not pretend. Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint? 

I've always had a soft spot for Popeye's. 

Their spicy fried chicken sandwich is BADASS and I'm always down for a fried shrimp snack with cocktail sauce. 

Fresh Fries with Angelic Desolation

If you're looking for some death metal from the green state of Colorado, you might be wanting to check in with Angelic Desolation.

In fact, I believe these fellows have a new record in the offing. Hell, you can order that stuff now on BANDCAMP.

1. Let's not pretend.  Fast food is delicious. What is your favorite fast food joint?

- Chick-Fil-A. It pulls apart like real chicken. For someone that really doesn't eat fast food very often, that makes me feel better about myself and my terrible decision.

2. When I was young, I remember hanging out at Hardee's eating roast beef (not their fried chicken), and smoking cigarettes at the table.

Tell me about some big changes at the place in your lifetime or tell me which part of my sentence is the most surprising and why.

Fresh Fries with King Gorm's Francis

One of the great things about living in this pandemic is the glut of fast food I've stuffed into my gaping maw.

I've been a fast food junkie for a long, long time though. Now we're going to learn about some metal dudes and how they crush the fast food, at home and on the road.

Up first is the eminently regal, Francis, of King Gorm. 

I gave their new record an A+ in my most recent review round up. Won't you listen to it whilst your reading it. You'll have to work up an excuse not to buy it.

Here's the BANDCAMP link.
