Episode 5 – Gerard Cosloy (Matador Records)

Others have called attention to this and I will too: it’s a nearly 2-hour interview w/ Gerard Cosloy about his process of “becoming a punk” (not his words), with some choice segments on the Boston Crew, “Choke”, the relative unpopularity of Mission of Burma before the farewell shows, obscure ‘core bands Vile and Last Rites, and more. There’s one with ‘lil Steve McDonald of Red Cross by the same host that I’ll probably listen to next.

Dynamite Hemorrhage Takes Australia – No Brow Art show

I was interviewed by Mino Peric from the No Brow Art Show on Brisbane, Australia’s 4ZZZ independent radio station. That’s “four-triple-zed”, people.

Mr. Peric was kind enough to throw me a few softballs so I could spout my self-centered gospel, and a few curveballs that had me doin’ a little thinking on my feet. Appreciate the kind words and the opportunity – you can listen to it here. I start in at about the 33:00 mark.

King Tears Mortuary – Asleep At The Wheel Of Fortune 7” EP (Vacant Valley)

still-single:

Six sounds of boundary-free pop mayhem from a Sydney band that sounds as appropriate in 2014 as it might’ve opening for Toy Love in 1979. Bright female vocals take the spotlight as the melodies surge and the drums pound, fistfuls of notes crammed into 90 second bursts of energy and mannerisms…

I do love ‘em, don’t know if that’s enough to check them out, but…..they’re also interviewed in the upcoming Dynamite Hemorrhage #2.
