&nbsp;-----------
Despite some technical glitches, I managed to preserve most of my conversation with Calvin Johnson. If you're not familiar with K Records and Beat Happening (which comprise the last chapter of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Band_Could_Be_Your_Life" target="_blank">Our Band Could Be Your Life</a>), he's also been in the bands <a href="http://shop.krecs.com/collections/all/products/klp040" target="_blank">Dub Narcotic Sound System</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Go_Team" target="_blank">Go Team</a>, <a href="http://krecs.com/artists/hive-dwellers/" target="_blank">Hive Dwellers</a>, and <a href="http://krecs.com/artists/calvin-johnson/" target="_blank">solo performance</a>. We're driving&nbsp;across the new Bay Bridge and talk about comedy in Olympia and the Bay, <a href="http://www.seattlepi.com/ae/music/article/A-punk-rock-legend-is-back-from-serious-injury-1264646.php" target="_blank">major injuries</a>, theater, the early days of punk, and of course K Records (including the <a href="http://shop.krecs.com/collections/frontpage/products/sooner-or-later-klp242" target="_blank">Neo Boys reissue</a>). Special thanks to <a href="http://theweewedding.com" target="_blank">Jaime and Thorsten</a> for bringing Calvin to town and helping me close out the show. (My shows in Austin and Mendocino are listed <a href="http://laffq.com/george.chen/" target="_blank">here</a>)
