Very honored to bring you today's show with J. Niimi. He is a talented songwriter, musician and journalist who wrote the book about REM's Murmur for the prestigious 33 1/3 music series. It goes without saying that this album has had a profound impact on his personal and musical development. So much so, that in his words, there was no question as to what album he would want to write about. So we take this opportunity to dive deep into why that was and attempt analyzing this monumental and complex record in only the way we do here. His latest band, Man's Body, has recently released a new record, A Set of Steak Knives, on NocturnalSol which you can get here: https://heydaymediagroup.bandcamp.com/album/a-set-of-steak-knives His 33 1/3 book can be purchased here: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/rems-murmur-9780826416728/ Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/hLrJnT5rdZ8 Get in touch with Man's Body: Mansbody.bandcamp.com Facebook: @mansbodychicago Instagram: @mansbodychicago Find out more about us and how to support the show at www.psychicstatic.net Theme song written and performed by Jeff Robbin of 123 Astronaut.

Well here it is. The epitome of what this show is all about. Have you ever thought about a musician you really loved and thought, "what made them want to pursue a career in. music?" Well, here's the answer! And coming from a person that is such an incredible inspiration of generations of punks and rockers alike, about an album that is equally inspirational, Richard Hell and The Voidoids' Blank Generation!

If you like Charming Disaster, you may like PJ Harvey. Or, if you like PJ Harvey, there's a good chance you'll also like our guests Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris, the duo that make up Charming Disaster from Brooklyn, NY! Both bands write songs that are complex and intriguing, without beating you over the head with high art. It's enjoyable on it's surface, but the deeper you peel into that onion, you could find yourself crying. This was a great conversation where not only do we find out a lot about what makes Charming Disaster tick, but how this album, Dry(1992), informed them since and still to this day, what the hell is happening in PJ's music and answers the question, "What's so interesting about Marie Curie?" Their brand new concept album, Our Lady of Radium, is available now digitally anywhere you get music, but also physically(including some sweet color burst vinyl) at their band camp page: https://charmingdisaster.bandcamp.com/album/our-lady-of-radium And see them live for their album release show at Caveat, NYC.

This next one...is the first...guest hosted episode. I've been looking to do some shows like these for quite some time now. And I'm happy to say, here's the first.

Oh boy. That could be applicable to any number of situations brought about by this episode. My guest, Will Johnson, is, in my humble opinion, a behemoth of the indie folk rock scene. Partially in thanks to his collaborations with artists such as Jason Molina, Vic Chestnutt, and the Monsters of Folk crew(i.e. Connor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward and Mike Mogis). His particular brand of raw, introspective folk is completely captivating and singularly unique. With that being said, it is an absolute pleasure and honor for me to have had this conversation with him about a record that was inspiring to him on so many levels, that I'll just leave it to him to describe. I have a feeling many people will relate to some of these sentiments. If you'd like to support Will by purchasing some of his music, artwork or merchandise please visit: https://undertowstore.com/collections/will-johnson https://willjohnson.bandcamp.com/ and if you're interested in his debut novel, If Or When I Call, find that here: https://www.goliadmedia.net/books/if-or-when-i-call/ He is currently on tour with John Moreland.

We're happy and honored to be kicking off this year with Boston rock institution, Rick Barton! Best known as a founding member of The Dropkick Murphy's, he's been playing in significant bands from Boston since the late 70's with The Outlets to now with his current band, Continental.

Happy New Year everyone! On this last episode of the year, I speak with Mark Stone who is a veteran of the music scene who has kinda seen and done it all. He is someone I've know about for a very long time, and was happy to finally be able to speak with and get to know better. You should seek out an band he has been a part of, but most importantly, his most recent, Droplets which you can find more about here: https://droplet.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/thejugcollector And with Mark being the ever present and knowledgeable musician that he is, it was a great joy to be turned onto this 1979 proto-punk monument, The Soft Boys' A Can of Bees. Amazing! Find out more about us at www.psychicstatic.net And we'll see you in the new year! Theme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut.

It's my pleasure to bring to you today, my conversation with Paul Dechichio. He is a man known for many things from bands like Best Practices, Alpha Owl and Cyttorak. Paul has taken his love and experience with music and pivoted into the independent record label realm, which is now 20 years deep with no signs of stopping. In honor and observation of this monumental occasion, Paul has taken on his most grand release yet with a 2022 Subscription Series. We go over all the deets of what this amazing steal of deal will entail. Very limited! Less than 20 spots left, at the time of this release, of a total of 50. The only place to get this is at his website: https://www.torjohnsonrecords.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=21&products_id=1720 You can even find links to all Paul and Tor Johnson's social media there. Also, find any and all other release from Tor Johnson there or at the band camp, here: https://torjohnsonrecords.bandcamp.com/ And, for anyone that knows Paul's label and what he puts out, you may think, "well, this is a strange album for Paul to pick to talk about." And you wouldn't be wrong, but it makes lots of sense. we get into it. We hope you enjoy and we also wish you a Happy Holiday and New Year!

BEDTIMEMAGIC is an amazing two piece rock outfit from Boston, MA. They've been heralded as one of the best noise outfits to come out of the Boston area, and with good reason. To think that just two people are able to make the type of racket these guys are is impressive. Not only will they blow your head off, but they know exactly how to. So, it was my pleasure to get to know this cooky crew and discuss their latest recordings but also a record that helped them get there. Plate Six's 2005 album, Battle Hymns For a New Republic. Impressive and obscure. Let's get into it! Please visit https://bedtimeboston.bandcamp.com/ to find their latest releases, especially the new full length, Between The Sheets. The compilation they have a track on can be found at https://shallownorthdakota.bandcamp.com/album/rhino-body-lover-a-tribute-to-shallow-north-dakota As always, find out more about us and what we do at www.psychicstatic.net Theme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut.

Hope everyone is having a great and Happy Thanksgiving! It's my pleasure to bring to you today, the founding members and backbone of New Haven's most enthralling and energetic band, Killer Kin! With the type of raw unbridled energy they bring, it's no wonder that they'd choose an album with the same infectious, hook laden, sexual fury as this debut album by the New York Dolls. And if you don't believe me, listen to their new 7" vinyl single on Pigbaby Records here: https://killerkin.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-love-narrow-mind and if you want to try to get your hands on a copy, you can do that here: https://pigbabyrecords.com/store.html They'll be playing in Providence, RI at The Parlour on Saturday Nov. 27!

I can't believe it's taken this long to get to an album by Nirvana, but here we are, finally. And I couldn't be more pleased to have my great guest, Brandon St. Pierre, of the band Anxious Wave, join me to discuss it as well as all the great things that band has to offer and has coming up.

As an inexperienced songwriter I've been told once, instrumentals can be boring. But that certainly doesn't apply to the artistry of what these next two subjects are. Mac Blackout is, in my humble opinion, a master visual and sonic artist. His latest album, Love Profess, is the basis of my statement. It's a completely instrumental emotional rollercoaster, filled with positivity and good will while created in a time of psychic turmoil. It was a pleasure to have this opportunity to break into the mind of a truly great artist about just one small slice of inspirational fodder, Brian Eno's ambient transformation, Another Green World. We go deep into Mac's history, making of his latest record, where Another Green World sits in the making of Love Profess and what's to come next, including LOCUST! Listen and find out.

This conversation runs the gamut of topics from love, loss and death, to everything in between, because this album tackles all these issues as well. My guest tonight is the multi talented musician and audio engineer, Jared Mann of bands such as Twin Foxes, Willow, Great Western States and more. We recorded this episode at his studio Distorted Forest and had such a great time discussing one of his inspirational records, Jets To Brazil's Orange Rhyming Dictionary. If you like Jets..., you may like Twin Foxes, and if you like Twin Foxes, you may like Jets To Brazil. We ask that you check out Twin Foxes albums here: https://twinfoxes.bandcamp.com/ where you can still pre order their latest album on vinyl, Broken Bell.

I can't honestly say I've ever had many words with Gavin prior to this interview, and it makes me feel like I've been missing out all this time. This conversation was full of laughs but with Gavin still being able to speak in a clear, methodical and introspective way. And to top that off, we discuss what could very well be the most important modern album for R&B, HipHop and NeoSoul. Killer. Find all things Gavin including his latest album, "Here You Go", which this episode features 2 songs off of here: https://gavincastleton.bandcamp.com/merch and to get in touch with us and find out about everything we do visit psychicstatic.net Theme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut.

Eric Smith is a local Providence musician that has been working with great projects for almost 20 years now. His latest project, Glowing Cloud, is no exception. He's just released a 3 song EP which is reminiscent of jangly, Brit pop with a Neil Young flare. I was happy to have Eric here at the house to discuss and listen to Neil Young's Trans on vinyl. If you like this album or any album by Neil Young, there's a good chance you'll like Glowing Cloud.

I'm very excited today to bring to you, Weasel Walter! I may have felt a little nervous going into this conversation because of what I knew of Weasel's intense thirst for musical knowledge and historical research of music that he loves. Turns out, I did alright, and the musical ideas and opinions oozed pretty simply. I really enjoyed this talk and getting to know Weasel and Mayhem a lot better. I hope you feel the same. If you might only know one or two the band Weasel's been part of please check out his Bandcamp and website for WAY more! https://weaselwalter.bandcamp.com/ http://nowave.pair.com/weasel_walter/ Follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weasel_walter/ and find out more about us and ways to support the podcast by visiting www.psychicstatic.net Theme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut.

Dan is a talented multi-instrumentalist and head of the Wrong Whole Archival Bureau, which is putting out some great experimental, noise music. It was a pleasure getting to know him as well as the album he chose this evening, The Ex + Tom Cora's Scrabbling at the Lock. There might not be many parallels to this album and the band Dan had been apart of (Neptune) but between the many different projects and releases he's putting out, I think there are many. I encourage you to check out Wrong Whole's entire catalog and experiment with something new today. https://wrongwhole.bandcamp.com/ And if you'd like to see this interview find the video version at https://www.psychicstatic.net/podcasts and if you'd like to support the show please consider making any type of purchase from our website.

What an interesting conversation to have with a talented filmmaker and musician, Brandon Perras-Sanchez. Finally an opportunity to ask the question, "Does the influence of an album have the same effect on a film maker as a music maker?" And I was delightfully surprised by the answer Brandon gave. In addition, we touched upon many subjects including but no limited to Sonic Youth's Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, the new feature film he's working on, Saint Drogo, and what it was like releasing a film during a pandemic. Find the full conversation wherever you find your podcasts.

There are few musicians that keep busy, have ridiculous discographies, or command a stage. My guest today, Rafay Rashid, does them all. Super nice guy and great conversationalist to boot! We discuss influential music, making music in the desert, and why The Beatles may just be one of the most overrated bands in history! Dig in kids.

It should come as no surprise that The Pop Group's 1979 debut album "Y", being an amalgam of punk funk, jazz fusions, and avant noise, would speak so syseynchtly to the heart of this episode's guest, "Hash" Vyas. Most notably being the bass player for Thievery Corporation and GoGoGo Airheart, Hash has been a huge fan of all types of music for all his life, but let's be serious, that shit's gotta have some bass! And this album has got it in spades. I went on location for this one to Hash's residence to speak about this album, share my upright bass(which Hash did a little bit of noodling on at the end), and talk a little about his latest project, Gnarnia. Great talk and great hang.

Damian Puerini joins me once again to explore the deceivingly dark and dismal social commentary of The Kinks' rock opera, Arthur(or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)!

Just when you might have thought Six Finger Satellite was dead, the budding noise rock inspirators of the 90's are coming up with some killer reissues and committing some never before heard jams to wax too! I got to speak with front man J Ryan about some of these plans as well as one of the most influential records on his life, Suicide's self titled 1977 debut. Dig it!

Muggs is a talented poet and singer, and the parallels between their career and the likes of Patti Smith are eerily similar. We discuss those points along with giving some of our own interpretations to these immortal classics. If you like Patti Smith's Horses, you may like Lookers.

That title worked out better than I thought it could have. Matt Trap is the drummer for Song Birds from Providence, and just a great, hilarious dude. The style of his drummer is certainly similar to that of Dana Hatch from this band, but I think the overall attitude from this album really speaks to how Matt operates. We(I) may have had a little too much fun on this one, but what a great time. Join us as we DIG into Cheater Slicks!

Here's a special extra short episode with the whole band. We all hope everyone's had a happy Thanksgiving or at least made the best out of that you could. We have a lot to be thankful for and have even more gratitude to dish out. This episode is to give a moment to introduce The Hammer Party to those who do not know them, and officially announce the release of their debut album, Smashed Hits, which Psychic Static is putting out. This episode is also premiering the debut video for the first single off the album, Waiting for the Bus! Try not to get this song stuck in your head. And in the spirit of giving, we all realized that there was an opportunity for us to do something to give back a little to one of the biggest supporters of the band, Rick Sunderland of Dusk in Providence, RI. The nightclub/bar that is facing exceptionally difficult times during the pandemic like most all independent venues across the world, but has close ties to the band being where the album was recorded and the video was partially filmed. So we have all agreed to auction off one of the test pressing for the vinyl which is signed and decorated by the band. If you're hearing this, then it's available now! Get it here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203198658724 100% of the sale of this album will go to Rick to help keep the doors open, so bid as much as you can and jack that price up! We thank you for whatever you can do. Peace and love and a prosperous 2021! Waiting for the Bus was conceived and filmed by J Drab. With cooperation from Barbara Polichetti of RIPTA and Rick Sutherland of Dusk. Dave Tessier and Matt Trap both portray "the man".

Again I'm dumbfounded as to how the fuck to shut up about this guy, Doug Cheatwood. He's a great friend and one of the most amazing musical minds I know. He has a massive body of work and produced 10 albums with their own full length videos in just the past 2 years alone. And has 5 more coming! This guy's the real deal and has chosen one of the most revered and challenging records of all time, Pink Floyd's The Wall. Figures. I hope you like the show and please check out all of Doug's music, especially his latest project, The Totalitarian here: https://thetotalitarian.bandcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvorCWF03EI76yj6EndDn3g And learn more about us and find all our social media here: www.psychicstatic.net Theme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut.

It's my pleasure to present you my conversation with the great and talented John Roman of microwaves. We discuss his artistic contributions to microwaves most recent release, Via Weightlessness,( which can be found here https://threeoneg.com/archive/vinyl/via-weightlessness ) plans(or lack thereof) for the new album, and of course Voivod's fourth studio album, Dimension Hatröss. Dig it kids! Learn more about us and what we're up to at www.psychicstatic.net and https://psychicstatic.bandcamp.com/ for the brand new release of The Hammer Party's Smashed Hits record which John has provided the logo artwork and layout design for.

At a point in this talk, I mention to my guest, Alec K Redfearn, how I don't see the connection of his personality to that of our topic, Captain Beefheart. But I neglected to mention how I can see the relation to scope and body of work and sheer beautiful freakness. From The Eyesores or The Seizures to Say You Love Satan to D.U.M.E., Alec seems to me to always be pushing limits in more ways and musically even longer than the good Captain. Alec has a new release with his new electronic music project, D.U.M.E., which will be released on Wrong Whole Archival Bureau very soon. Don't forget to follow him on all social medias to get updates on that. And follow us too. All our links are at our website, www.psychicstatic.net Thanks! Love ya!

This was an in-person interview outside of my studio, so there is lots of noise disturbance, but still tons of fun! Steve is a one of the greatest people to get to hang with and that's evident in this episode. We get down with Chrome's 1979 Half Machine Lip Moves while also getting into a lot of Steve's own history and his new record Majestic Flap Flap. Check these things out!

Doom and gloomy, haunting, shoe-gazey, or gothic folk are ways that Marissa Nadler's music may be described. Those may very well be true, but I think there's more to her talent than that. And based on our conversation, there is a metamorphosis coming. Like all great artists, evolutions are inevitable and are typically gateways into the next big chapter of an artist's career. Some may look back and say that 2020 will be remembered as, maybe, the most challenging time of all of our lives. But some may look back on it as a time of rebirth and inner exploration. I am looking forward to what Marissa may make of this situation. On this episode we'll also discuss her early days in Providence, getting over stage fright, and of course, the music of Leonard Cohen. Hence the overwhelmingly dark rant. Good times, great talk. Please find all things Marissa at her website: www.marissanadler.com And if you'd like to find out more about us visit: www.psychicstatic.net Thank you!

Mark Cutler is a RI legend, though you wouldn't know it from talking to him.

Brendan in a man of many tastes of musical styles. With that being said, the likelihood of him creating a project of any genre is completely possible. His latest project, Belll, is an ambient, sample based hiphop album akin to that of Dj Shadow's Endtroducing. Could he have gone the route of hard edged prog rock like that of Ebu Gogo? Sure. Jazzy funk rock like Gruvis Malt? Of course. This is just the latest chapter in his ever evolving progression and it's great. Find it on all streaming platforms. Also see some of his visual work here. https://youtu.be/sJPTG6YDb1Y and here https://youtu.be/SOTCjO9dksE Please visit our new website psychicstatic.net where you can find all our episodes and links to social media.

Roz is one of the most talented and hard working artists in the business right now. So it was my pleasure to be able to discuss their work and history along with one of the most iconic bands of all time. Being in the age of Quarantine, this episode was conducted remotely. With that being said, there was very little vinyl to highlight, but I would completely recommend everyone to pick up Roz's latest release, Loveable, out now on Community Records. It's a really beautiful work of shoe gazy, hook laden pop. Out everywhere you can find music digitally but also vinyl is available here: https://novaonenovaone.bandcamp.com/album/lovable http://www.communityrecords.org/ Follow Roz on all social medias.

On this episode I get to sit down with Hilary Jones to discuss the music that has influenced her song writing and playing style, being a former leader for RIOT RI(Girls Rock! Camp), her latest band, Alpha Error and the beginnings of her own podcast which tackles the topics of music, gender equality, and the music gear we love. Also whilst listening to the amazing second album by PJ Harvey, Rid of Me. Alpha Error has a new 2 song demo available on Bandcamp for only $2.00.

Continuing to dispel some of the Providence music scene history, it only seemed natural to have JJ come on and share some of his own personal insight on some of the inner workings of the scene through his involvement with independent labels and working behind the scenes for one of the greatest recording studios the state has ever seen, Sound Station Seven. JJ came across some copies of a split 7" he put out many years ago and I have them for you if you want it.

For over 40 years, my guest, Peter Prescott, has been creating music that has pushed himself out into the experimental areas of early punk and into the point of generational influence. Peter is best know for his work with Mission of Burma, but has gone on to create acts such as Volcano Suns, Kustomized, and the Peer Group. We talk in depth about his latest band, Minibeast, which takes a lot of the droney repetitive influence from the group Neu! and cranks it to 11. Sit down and listen to this album with us while we discuss Peter's lengthy career, Neu!'s 1972 electronica debut, vinyl record reselling, and what's not to love about living in the smallest state. Please check out www.minibeast.net Look them up on Facebook, Instagram, and stream them on Apple, Spotify, Bandcamp or anywhere you get your music.

It's my honor to present to you, Eric Paul. Veteran of the noise rock, no wave movement locally and internationally. I've followed his career from his beginnings thrashing around in Arab on Radar, to The Chinese Stars, Doomsday Student, and ultimately landing in this new electronic infused Psychic Graveyard. In this talk we highlight some aspects of his 20+ years in the music biz, from being misunderstood early on, to working through trauma through writing, finding inspiration in music and peers, and even trying his hand at starting his own record label. I'm extremely thankful to him for allowing us all the opportunity to catch a candid glimpse into the mind and life of one of Providence's own inspirational figures. www.psychicgraveyard.com Find Eric's book here: https://tolsunbooks.com/new-products/a-suitcase-full-of-dirt-a-lyrical-retrospective-pre-order Support the podcast by buying something from my shops here: www.psychicstatic.net Email the podcast: songcrafter666@gmail.com Follow us on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_and_vision/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimmydrab/ Our shops Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parodyofparadigm/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JimmyDrab7 Theme song by Jeff Robbins.

Very humbled to have Will Schaff as my guest for this episode. Will is the very talented artist whose art can be seen in many different mediums and in a number of different places. I was compelled to ask him to join me on this episode because of the connection of his art to many influential albums. With that being said, there is no album we are featuring tonight because I wanted to try to focus on more of the art than an album. I hope you enjoy.
