"A whole bunch of months passed and I didn't hear anything and then he emailed and asked if I could do a little piece on POD and Queens of the Stone Age"

In this quote, the speaker is reflecting on an amount of time where they did not get any communication from someone. After a number of months, the person finally connected through email and asked the speaker to compose a small piece on two bands, POD and Queens of the Stone Age. The use of the phrase "an entire bunch of months" suggests that a substantial amount of time had passed, possibly showing that the speaker and the person had actually lost touch. The fact that the person specifically requested for a piece on these two bands might recommend that they have a personal connection or interest in them.
