Unwoman came to St. Paul for a show that included an interview after her performance. On this episode, I play that interview, as recorded and with almost no editing, and a sampling of some of Unwoman's more recent releases. Full show notes and contact info at http://www.aztalanturf.com
It has been, quite frankly, an embarassingly long time since I last posted a show, but I haven't stopped discovering great music that I want to share with you.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Jim Cookas and Brittany Bindrim of I:Scintilla and Jim Marcus and Vince McAley of Go Fight when I was in Chicago a few weeks ago and this episode is the product of our conversation. It was less of an interview and more of a discussion. We talked about what the bands are up to, their March Midwest tour dates together, a lot about the music industry, new technologies, science fiction's predictions for the future, the Garbage fandom, making magic and more. Plu...
Get to know one of my favorite Minneapolis-based bands on this episode. I talk to Lindy, Cody and Jake of Gabriel and the Apocalypse about the band (where they've come from and where they're going), Rock Band, songwriting, the challenges faced with recording New World Disaster, why PJ Harvey is awsome, working with photographer Brandon Wu, the forthcoming video for Silent War, and their upcoming show at Ground Zero in Minneapolis with I:Scintilla, Go Fight and Goodnight Criminals. The guitars ar...
Looking back on 2012 (as is the thing to do at the end of the year), 2012 for me was definitely the year of Garbage. I didn't put together any kind of top whatever list of the year or any kind of retrospective - you've already heard about those adventures. The "Year of Garbage" is continuing into 2013 with Sons of the Silent Age in Chicago. What is that, you ask? It's a little project by Chris Connelly. Tune in for full details. Also on this episode: Emilie Autumn, Velvet Acid Christ and IAMX to...

I'm back from my UK adventure and have finally been able to post the interview with Minneapolis industrial-metal band Thira. We talk about Thira's intense and dynamic stage show, riffing the lights, writing music around a laptop..naked, Grand Funk Railroad, and sister bands.
