Cartoon Express with Nuclear Winter

In what I consider to be one of the absolute greatest bits of irony, a one man band by the name of Nuclear Winter released an EP in the vast hellscape of a dystopian nightmare that was 2020.

Check him out HERE.

 He's one of the founding members of the nascent Zimbabwean metal scene. Get his tunes and you totally pull out some ACTUALLY on some folks.

So we're talking about cartoons.

1. From a very early age, I gravitated towards anime. I never knew Speed Racer was anything other than just another cartoon. What is the first one you watched that really shaped your tastes for years to come?

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. 

Pandemic Dispatches with Gary of Nuclear Winter

Today Gary Stautemeister of Nuclear Winter is reaching out to us from behind the wall of quarantine.

Check out his upcoming EP on BANDCAMP.

1. How are things going where you are? The laws and such.

It's not been too bad here. The lockdown has been fairly relaxed and luckily there were no major shortages of anything in the shops. 

Normally people here panic buy for any little reason but surprisingly that hasn't happened. Hopefully we'll move to an even more relaxed lockdown soon.

2. How long have you been sheltering in place at this time?

The lockdown started at the begining of April.. but from the start we were able to travel around. 

We just had to avoid certain areas, like the city centre.
