Flopcast 562: The Scarves Hide the Years

Kornflake has the week off, but we have a special guest in Chickentown to fill in: It's our big podcasting bossman, ESO Network Director Mike Faber! And we're talking music again. Mike has been to more concerts than Kevin and Kornflake combined, and has prepared a Top 4 ½ List of his favorite concerts ever! Some of Mike's picks, while impressive, will not shock you. (REM in 1983! Springsteen in 1984!) However (here comes the clickbait), you'll never guess some of the others. (Mike was at Woodstock, and that did not make the list! Country Joe and the Fish are most displeased.) Along the way, our discussion also includes The Cars, ELO, They Might Be Giants, Lenny Kravitz, Dr. Demento, Johnny Hates Jazz, and much more. Enjoy! (Hey, the podcast is free, but to simulate the concert experience, maybe we should attach some unreasonable Ticketmaster-style service fees...)

Show Notes

It's always fun to hang out with Mike Faber at DragonCon! We had to go back to 2019 to find a photo from the pre-mask days. Here's an Earth Station Who panel, with Mike in the middle (between two other Mikes).

You can find Mike in between cons on many of the same virtual panels as Kevin. You can also check out The Dragon Con Report, now with video!
