199. LIFERS - Bob Lugowe, Prince & ICP

You probably wouldn’t think that becoming a tattoo-sporting member of the FBI-listed Insane Clown Posse Juggalo gang would lead to a long career in the music business. But according to Bob Lugowe — you’d be wrong. And seeing as how Bob is one of the most stand-up dudes we’ve ever encountered in this biz; we can’t really argue with the results. On this episode we talk to the Brutal Panda honcho about running a record label, working at Relapse, starting out on the Local H street team, having the cool mom, Sony, Beyonce, Priest, Mariah, Christmas downloads, alt-rock reissues, the late Mike Lara, Fight Amp, Couch Slut, Cherubs, and we play an insanely/brutally hard round of WHAT’S THE BEST?!? featuring Prince.
