It's an interview with the hardest-working man in the Winnipeg music scene! [Greg Rekus](http://www.gregrekus.com/) is on the verge of releasing a new record with his band the Inside Job (*[Death & Taxes](http://greg-rekus.bandcamp.com/album/death-and-taxes)*) and will be heading out on more of his non-stop, globetrotting tours in 2020. Greg has been a delight to talk to ever since I first met him back in the ‘90s, and he’s one of those people who is welcome on the podcast anytime. I can only dream about hustling as hard – and having such a positive attitude – with this podcast as Greg Motha Fuckin’ Rekus does with his music. If you're listening on the day this comes out (Wednesday, Jan. 8), *Death and Taxes* is out now in streaming form, plus Greg's performing tonight at Sookram's Brewery with Grotoko, so head down and pick up a physical copy! This episode is brought to you by our pals at [the Park Theatre](http://www.myparktheatre.com/), as well as the Beer Boutique, managed by Winnipeg punk mainstay [StevO Nelson](http://www.facebook.com/beerboutiquewpg/). ...
This week's episode features guest host John Kendle, former editor of Uptown magazine. It's a really good listen -- pretty heavy on old war stories about the Royal Albert and Winnipeg's scene back in the mid-1980s. Of course, all of this ties in (somehow) with this week's randomly-generated theme, "Chicago." Despite Uptown's format change, John's still involved in the music journalism thing and occasionally interviews touring acts at the WFP News Cafe these days. Also, if you listen to this week's intro, there's a clip from an episode of Australia's Reaction Podcast (a podcast that reviews other podcasts) discussing our episode #15. Pretty cool. ...
Prairie rap firebrand Pip Skid has a righteous new album out on Peanuts & Corn Records -- his first full-album collaboration with producer mcenroe in an inconceivably long time. We talked about the new music, navigating the shitty world of streaming, continuing to rap about issues that matter no matter how bleak things seem, and so much more.
