We sat down with the king in the found sound crown, Mark Hosler, to talk about the art collective known as Negativland. Negativland has been relentlessly active since the mid-70s to today, jamming the culture, fighting copyright law, and bugging Bono all along the way. We discuss the undeserved distaste for the suburbs, the changes the collective has undergone since their founding, and collaborating with various video/visual artists over the years. We bring along Nolan of One Star Podcast, a man very much influenced by Negativland's goofs and gaffs, to discern true from false on our journey Negativland and Mark Hosler's work can be found on negativland.com One Star Podcast can be found at @onestarcast and their email is onestarpod@gmail.com Topics: protest, intellectual property, collage, Pepsi, noise, Over The Edge, Don Joyce, The Weatherman, Jon Leidecker, Wobbly, The World Will Decide, abstract, crossing the rubicon, marketing, advertising, Reagan, capitalism, U2, lawyers, strife, Coca-Cola, music videos, mass media, Sue-C, It's Normal For Things To Come To Your Attention, stupid, dumb, A Bag Is Coming

What is? The question at the heart of one man's work. RXK Nephew is an up and coming rapper with an energy unseen since Marcus Aurelius, a man with ambition and a discerning eye. A man gliding past the deceptions of the forbidden fruit, cutting down the lies meant to keep you docile, domesticated. To help get to the RXKore of this enigma, we bring Noah, from Fluid Show, to tell us where we can get some Straight Drop. The rigor of the discourse is rigid. You won't want to miss it.

Releasing this early to capitalize on all that Good Discourse. A lot was said on this episode regarding Ukraine and Russia, particularly a birthing Russian identity and nationalism after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Yegor Letov was an experimental punk/psych/noise musician and poet in the Siberian USSR, who eventually co-founded the National Bolshevik Party (representing the communist faction). After differences became irreconcilable within the party, Yegor disengages from politics entirely in 1999 and takes a looooooot of drugs. This is the episode that will get Kevin and Kaleb cancelled, and Klaus committed and sedated in a Russian psych ward.   Topics: Siberian punk rock, psychedelic rock, noise rock, experimental rock, hallucinogens, Aleksandr Dugin, Eduard Limonov, Instructions for Survival, Russian Field of Experiments, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Solstice, Soviet identity, Vladimir Putin, GrOb, Igor Letov, Konstantin Rubinov, Boris Yeltsin, Victor Tsoi, god, Orthodox Christianity, something about atheists and foxholes, cats, mice, Come and See, The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Yanka Dyagileva, Alexander Vvedensky, Russian futurist poetry, Sergey Letov, monarchism, cancellable offense, cancel culture

We continue our dive into Russian post-punk with Russian Pete. Lots of stuff about how they even made records outside of the sanctioned music industry and the CIA asset codenamed Joanna Stingray. Peter also sings This Charming Man for like 4 seconds. We snuck out a KGB interview on a bone record for this episode, don't expect it to stay uploaded for long.   Topics: KGB, Assa, Igla, Viktor Tsoi, soyboys, Tsoi-boys, Keith Haring, The Queen Is Dead, Winds of Change, SIG-INT, The Iron Curtain, The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Vladimir Putin, Lukashenko, Kiev, Ukraine

Cyka blyat. In honor of whatever the fuck is happening in Russia right now, we're doing a deep dive into Russian culture before WWIII. The topic this month is Viktor Tsoi, the Soviet-Korean-Kazakh, folk-punk, post-punk, slam dunk slam piece head of the outfit Kino.

Done. Now I can move on to other things. We finish off Nerdcore with a look at atheistic battle rap, a trip through a hypernormal nerd world, and some nice words to finish off the topic. This was painful, but more so a learning experience. Kevin and Kaleb eventually come to an understanding about the meaning of nerd-dom. The Devil and God Are Nerding Inside Me. Topics: MC Lars, Greydon Square, Adam Curtis, hypernormalisation, Nine Inch Nails, Egoraptor, MC Chris, Beefy, MC Router, MC Hawking, Childish Gambino, SEO, nerds, anime, gaming

It's the return of the macks, Kevin and Kaleb, here with the long awaited nerdcore hip-hop episode. This episode caused Kaleb an immense amount of psychic pain, so we hope you enjoy it. The boys dig into what it means to be a nerd in the mid-2000s and really gain an appreciation of some of the craziest white boys out there.   Topics: dorks, geeks, MC Chris, MC Frontalot, ytcracker, shame, disappointment, Schaffer the Darklord, Star Trek, MF DOOM, Will Smith, hacking

Today we're fulfilling out duties as court-appointed monitors of Varg Vikernes. We're also talking about the first rock band. Look out for our next full-length which is about nerdcore soon!

Today we invited our buddy Klaus onto the pod to debut a new segment called Klaus's Korner where we allow Klaus to get angry about metal and force him to play games! I tried cutting him off but he cannot he stopped.   Klaus cannot be found anywhere but on this podcast.

Our friend and guy who knows a lot more about music than we do, Mitchell, joins us as we discuss the taxonomy of fake bands and discuss some prominent examples of bands engaging in hoaxes, pranks, tricks, and tomfoolery! Sorry the audio is kinda bad in this episode

In this EP episode we review A.G. Cook's mammoth album 7G, plus we follow up on J-Tull Dot Com. We also pit Dylan Brady and A.G. Cook against each other in an unnecessary schism (and street fight)!

After this dive is done, it will be four parts and six hours of modern country music review. I'm like the Adam Curtis of this shit. This episode we investigate the career of Taylor Swift and examine her country music bona fides. After she releases You Belong to Me, she catapults to superstardom, but it's not country, so we don't give a shit. The pop-ification of country music continues as we listen to *shudder* bro country. Florida Georgia Line and Zac Brown occupy the second half of the episode, as well as some surprise appearances from Blake Shelton and Eric Church. The gauntlet has been thrown... Only one can claim the title of Chaotic Evil...

This week we were both a little sleepy :/ We talked about Mr. Shmurda's (the guy from that Willa Cather book) release from prison, Wolfmother, Jethro Dull's dong and you get a rare peak behind the scenes where Kaleb and I discuss what we want to talk about next!

In which we sort the country hits of the 2000's into a DnD morality alignment chart and talk about a confrontation between Toby Keith and Kris Kristofferson. Two men enter, one man leaves. Also, the second half of our country song we wrote about the Capitol Riots. Yeehaw Outro: Hold the Line - The Listen to This House Band Topics: Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad, Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Kris Kristofferson, country music, nationalism, cool podcast

Today we paid tribute to SOPHIE, discussed a funny youtube video and discussed why we think Andrew WK is actually a secret occultist follow us on twitter @listen2this_pod!

I don't think you guys know what you're in for. We got with the most country guy we know (our friend Keith, a Nashville star) in order to break down what country music has looked like ever since the Grace of Garth left our world. Without Garth we were left to recover after the tragedies of 2001 with the likes of Toby Keith Covel, an opportunistic man who filled the power vacuum left behind. Part one of our deep dive reexamines the political battles of the aughts and the scorched battlefield left behind for a new set of country challengers... Intro: Hold the Line - The Listen to This House Band Topics: Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, The Chicks, 9/11, Bubble Boy (2001), Willie Nelson, country music, nationalism, comedy

Big changes in 2021! This is the first of our minisodes which we will be calling EPs (get it? haha). This week we talked about the two massive country stars who have been in the news this week. It's a bit of a prelude to our next full-length! Then we talked about Ariel Pink and John Maus' field trip to the Capitol insurrection.

Wow! We got Anthony Fantano to rate our albums of the year on this! Kevin and I get a little orc-ish and sit down to chat about our favorite releases of the year. We go over seven of what we would consider best of the year and then go rapid-fire through some of the other stuff we like or were excited about. ZUG ZUG!

We've been to Japan... We've been to Finland... Now it's on to Spain. We interviewed one of Kevin's biggest musical influences on this episode, Marco Serrato, vocalist and bass player for the band Orthodox. Orthodox is a doom metal/jazz/experimental trio based in Seville, Spain. We talked about Marco's inspirations for Orthodox, how jazz can be heavier than metal, and the immortal love of Popeye, the Sailor Man.

Got a spontaneous, unplanned, gonzo style interview on this one. We have our friend Becca on to talk about Matt Farley, a man who boasts 21,000 songs written. And I listened to all of them... not! I did listen to a bunch though. We talk about the enigma that Matt is, the plethora of poop songs he has written, and come up with our own Matt Farley album ideas. Thanks for hopping onto the podcast so spontaneously, Matt! Becca (@beccadagoo) is an internet person who tweets and makes youtube videos under Beccadagootube.

This episode, Kevin and Kaleb go stupid doo doo dumb and hop into rap for the first time. We explain our background in rap (spoilers: we're white and Nebraskan), dive into the slang of the Bay Area, and compete in the first annual Listen to This Crazy White Boy Battle Rap. Probably the last. I will let you, the listener, judge who won.

This took me way too fucking long. Why do I have a podcast? Kevin and I L O V E Halloween

In part two, we focus on Chromatics and the Kino aesthetic. Phil swoons over his OTP of Johnny Jewel and Ryan Gosling. David Lynch makes an appearance and tells us the weather and a cool story about a dead cow. Please, stop saying Lynchian. Not everything is Lynchian   Hammer and Camera is a podcast about partying, and having a good time, and watching movies, and being communists. Phil and the LTT crew go way back. Him and his co-host Taylor break down the truly effective parts of movies and tell you whether David Lynch is bae, or whatever.

Phil of Hammer and Camera joined us for this two part crossover event where we talk about the savior of disco, Johnny Jewel. On part on we mostly cover his early days as a punk and the formation and career of Glass Candy. I say bad things about the beloved Kraftwerk. Kevin quits the podcast in defiance. Now it's just me and my very right opinions.   Hammer and Camera is a podcast about partying, and having a good time, and watching movies, and being communists. Phil and the LTT crew go way back. Him and his co-host Taylor break down the truly effective parts of movies and tell you whether David Lynch is bae, or whatever.

Wow, what a couple of weeks! Sure seems pretty crazy out here, haha! Here, have a podcast. We talk about third stream sound seer, Moondog, a dynamite blinded composer from the 50's who wrote some real groovy shit. Follow the path of snake-time. The h'art beats.

EDIT: The last upload of this episode got cucked by podbean. We will be pursuing all legal routes of recompense. Here's an early (LATE!) one for all the good boys and girls who have been being so kind and subscribing. This was a long couple of weeks (both my money job and this). On this episode, we dissociate and regress back to scene kids. Kevin tells us magick spells in order to free our minds. Our friend Jack with a more popular podcast joins us and tells us about the 2007 scene scene. I make everyone cower at my crunk scream. Rawr! ヽ( `д´*)ノ   Jack (@Bacon_Dick) is a co-host of the One Star Podcast (@OneStarPod), where they read Google reviews and ultimately come to the conclusion that people don't deserve anything nice ever. Send them reviews to review at onestarcast@gmail.com, but not before sending an email to listen2thispod@gmail.com. Give us your obscure music, give us your bandcamp, give us your soundcloud, maybe YOU will be the next episode!* *Not doing this

We are a legit operation now. We're on Apple Podcasts. We got an interview. I am one step closer to talking to N*ck M*ll*n about Star Trek. Our friend Ben, a weeaboo, was also on the podcast to hang out. Van Paugam is a City Pop DJ largely credited as reviving the genre in the west. He is hard at work crate digging across the world trying to find the next Plastic Love, and he DJ's both online and at multiple venues in Chicago. You can find his work at vanpaugam.com

Yeah, i really phoned in some of this. This episode we talk about some Scandinavian weirdos, Kevin has to shit, I can't pronounce any Finnish names, we walk through the mystical Finland, and there's a lot of it. I tried to cut it down. I'm so tired. Big shout out to Kevin for donating songs in the style of Finnish Heavy Metal. Reach out and bug us at listen2thispod@gmail.com

Wow, thank you so much for the love after our podcast debut! This episode we talk about Kramer doing the sign of the cross, PC Music being quirky (!), and I learn how to add funney sound effects to the audio file. Big love to all my bruddahs and big thanks to Nolan of One Star for the new podcast icon

On the first episode, we talk about why we're making a podcast about music in 2020, why Peter Steele is so depressed despite being really cool, why Wolf Moon is a really good song, and why Type O Negative is the music you should play to cheer yourself up in quarantine.   I spent a bajillion years in Audacity editing this, please subscribe.
