Kochalka: ka-CHAL-ka
...usually. But sometimes I say ko-CHAL-ka. The former is more casual and what I usually do, and the latter is how I say it if I think about it too much.

Happy President’s Day
There are many many James Kochalka Superstar songs we’ve played live that never got recorded. Many songs I can’t even remember at all. Some I just remember a title.
with how many deep cuts and archives of Primus and Ween, motorhead, and tmbg stuff out there, it's weird that JKS is the odd one out.

I was watching some YouTube documentary about Trader Joe’s and then I was like, what do I care? I never even been in a Trader Joe’s. What does it matter to me if their name-brand pizza now has a different manufacturer than it used to?

the music Star Crush makes is the most endearingly home-made sounding new wave...but the cover images are always the cheesiest most awful ai generated crap. It's an odd dissonance. open.spotify.com/track/6aWJ5R...
