Hey folks, it's Joe.

This episode of The Trapset is co-presented by our good friends at The Drummer's Journal.

For those of you who don't know, the Drummers Journal is a top-notch quarterly online magazine

all about drums and drummers.

So if you're a fan of the trap set, you'll appreciate the fact that the Drummers Journal

features a really well-cureated assortment of mainstream drum legends and unsung heroes.

issue. And to be clear, this is not a paid promotion. It's just a collaboration of two like-minded

publications. Coming up, a great conversation with the legendary Pete Thomas of Elvis Costello and the attractions

after a brief message from Friend of the Show and drummer extraordinaire, John Worcester. Oh! Ah!

Ah! Why did I bet my landlord I could play the intro to new lace sleeves?

Now I have to pressure wash the house this Sunday wearing only my underpants.

Thankfully I enjoy being outside wearing only my underpants,

but the pressure washing, that's a whole other ball of wax.

Sounds really humiliating,

and I have a very complicated relationship with ladders

that I really don't want to get into right now.

Well, I'd certainly love to know how and where

and why Pete Thomas came up with that damn intro.

But, you know, I may not be able to play that, but I can nail the intro to what's so funny about Pete's love and understanding. This is Joe Witt.

Fine.

I hate him.
