Dispatches from the Underground episode #227 is up! We talk about #punkisland2014 the whole episode. First we try and get some perspective on the event, strikes, gutters, whatever. We try to make sense of the day, and over come all that negative nancy shit. Secondly we break down how this is a community event, and what it takes to do a show like this. We do this by rolling out a big THANK YOU to all those who make this event possible. Over the last week Phill and I have been getting a lot of thanks, which is very kind. But honestly, it is only because other people love this scene, and each other so much that they are willing to put up NOT ONLY with all the pain it causes to make this happen, but the endless tyrannical wailing of Phill (or me, whatever). Im gonna tag SOME of the people we thank, but you can listen to hear how we thank you and whether we qualify it with conditions. Punk Island would not have been the same with out these people Firstly, let me thank my brother, Filthy Phill, I would not do a lot of this shit if he didnt do it with me.

Community is about being around the people you love and doing the shit you love, not simply because you love that in some selfish way, but because you realize that those relationships you have formed with those people who are so much like you are what define you far more than anything else.
