We sit down with Austin writer and filmmaker James Ease and Jeff Smith, the legendary frontman of the Austin cow-punk band The Hickoids.</p><p><br></p><p>James takes us on a West Texas road trip haunted by a series of eerie coincidences that felt like driving straight into a horror movie. Then, Jeff Smith details a brutal run through Northern Europe during a record-breaking cold spring, involving glitchy gear, a confusing loop around Antwerp, and a mad dash through an airport just to get back to the Texas heat.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>James Ease</strong></p><p>Website: <a href=\"https://www.jamesease.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.jamesease.com/</a></p><p>Instagram: @jameseease</p><p>Stoned In Texas book trailer: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/5c7ixno7910\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/5c7ixno7910</a></p><p><br></p><p>—--------------------</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Jeff Smith</strong></p><p>FB:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/TheeJeffSmith\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/TheeJeffSmith</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/hickoids\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/hickoids</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Saustex\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/Saustex</a></p><p><br></p><p>IG:</p><p>@hickoids</p><p>@saustex&nbsp;</p><p>@flagship_store_san_anto</p><p><a href=\"http://saustexrecords.bandcamp.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">saustexrecords.bandcamp.com</a></p><p><a href=\"http://hickoids.bandcamp.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">hickoids.bandcamp.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Latest label releases:</p><p><a href=\"https://joecephus.bandcamp.com/album/trippin-through-texas\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trippin' Through Texas, by Joecephus and The George Jonestown Massacre</a></p><p><a href=\"https://thekrayolas.bandcamp.com/album/barbed-wire-road\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Barbed Wire Road, by The Krayolas</a></p><p><br></p><p>Read the full episode transcript <a href=\"https://www.atypicaldaydream.com/transcripts/episode-59-james-ease-jeff-smith\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p>---------------------------</p><p><strong>SUPPORT ATYPICAL DAYDREAM</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Want more Atypical Daydream?
