Canned Air #563 The Chop: Stay Puft with Rob Kassees & Tom Monaghan
Sunday, 5 April, 2026
This week, Jeramy welcomes back musicians Rob Kassees and Tom Monaghan to discuss their incredible new Ghostbusters-themed concept album, Stay Puft! This episode dives deep into the making of a record ten years in the making. We explore why Ghostbusters remains such a powerful cultural touchstone, debating the science versus religion themes of the original film and reminiscing about the classic cartoons. Rob and Tom share fascinating insights into their creative process, from tracking on authentic two-inch tape to the challenges of hitting the perfect lead vocal. Whether you are a gearhead interested in vintage recording techniques or a mega-fan of the Ghostbusters franchise, there is something here for everyone. Plus, get an exclusive look at the stunning vinyl artwork and hear about the band's history with Star Trek and Arby's themed music. Get in here!
