Buzzards in the Flesh: Co-Host Roger M. Mayer/Rabble Rouser: Tom Taylor

Five Dollar Buzz

This episode we highlight Buzzard Roger M. Mayer. He is a prolific film producer known mostly for outsider indie horror films ANTIBIRTH, THE RAMBLER, THE OREGONIAN and docs BIG RIVER MAN and JACO. He worked for the Sundance Film Festival for 14 years and was the Festival Director/Head Programmer for the Silver Lake Film Festival and the Downtown Film Festival-Los Angeles (now known as the DTLA Film Festival). A bleeding heart pain in the ass with a penchant for atonal dissonant noise and APOCALYPSE NOW, we hear a little about his journeys in life and the philosophies that he lives by. First time caller, long time listener Tom Taylor calls into the program! Tom joins the Buzzards while he is in the middle of yet another Rocky Mountain ski excursion, this time posted up in Vail, CO. He shares his thoughts on various concert experiences over the years and everyone fondly recalls their first live music show and the first recording they ever purchased. From Sia to New Kids on the Block to the Butthole Surfers, as well as chance encounters with Adam Yauch and Axl Rose, we take the listeners for a stroll down Shakedown Street!
