Just before the release of 99 Problems we had the chance to sit down with Jason Pettus from CCLaP for a 99 Problems podcast and it is now live, taking numbers and looking to change lives.[image error]

A We Were Cheated; I Got Mad Six Miles South In This Alone Impulse Shya Scanlon joint thing.

We recently had the opportunity to do a We Were Cheated; I Got Mad Six Miles South In This Alone Impulse Shya Scanlon joint thing and we are most appreciative that TBWCYL, Inc. players David Masciotra and Brandon Will were willing to help out. Enjoy.

Third Face Barry Graham interview magic.

Big thanks to the Barry Graham and Third Face for their interview with TBWCYL, Inc. spokesperson Ben Tanzer. They got to talk This Zine Will Change Your Life, cosmetics, Punk Planet, The Cars and Jim Carroll, so all in all it was quite magical really, and sure to change your life, at least for a moment or two.

"Nuanced, unpretentious, and without fear." 99 Problems gets Vinnie the Vole'd. And likes it. A lot.

Vinnie the Vole, a.k.a., TBWCYL, Inc. favorite Mark Brand has written a super thoughtful and much appreciated review of 99 Problems, continuing a trend of reviewers focusing less, though not entirely ignoring, on the running and writing elements of the collection and instead finding a thread with as much or maybe more meaning to them, in this case the push and pull of wanting to be a "good" father even as we want to be everything else as well, in this case a runner, and writer, always...
