Flex Your Head 16: Mclusky - Do Dallas

On Flex Your Head episode 16, host Jason Schreurs welcomes back Donald Kennedy to try and understand the enigmatic album Do Dallas by Welsh pranksters Mclusky. We talk about how band leader Andy Falkous swears the band was never popular, and we kinda agree. It didn't stop the unhinged trio from making better albums than the Pixies.

About this podcast:
Flex Your Head is a spinoff of the Scream Therapy podcast where host Jason Schreurs welcomes a guest each episode to discuss a classic punk album.

The main Scream Therapy podcast explores the link between punk rock and mental health. My guests are members of the underground music scene who are living with mental health challenges, like myself.

THE SCREAM THERAPY BOOK is now available! Scream Therapy: A Punk Journey through Mental Health is a memoir-plus that has been heralded by New York Times best-selling authors. Like the podcast, it links the community-minded punk rock scene with the mental wellness of the punks who belong to it.
