The Plankman Show Podcast 10-01-2026

We started off the show with 3 from Mick Blankenship cause his music's been stuck in my head all week. Then we thought why not play some of the bands on the bill at The Token 10/2. So we played Hamshackle & Days Of Disaster so you could hear some of what you'll hear at The Token Lounge. We also played Ray Street Park, Nothing New In Heaven, Valkries Fire, Shadow Of The Talsiman & of course Royal Bliss. We also had a technical glitch or in other words I muted the wrong channel. I left that in so you could laugh at my mistake. Anything I left out can be heard by clicking play & listening at your own risk. Check us out on all your favorite streraming platforms.

We also discovered a new band called Beef Supreme that was a pleasant surprise. We also discussed how I ended up moving back to Michigan 24 years ago thanks to “Tiny” Tim Cook & Jordan Johnson.
