What happens when we tune into sound to make sense of our world? How might noticing sounds and silences tell us more about place?In this episode, Charlotte and I speak with Melissa Pons. Melissa is a field recordist and award-winning sound designer based in Portugal. Throughout her years of practice, she has independently released field recording albums, music compositions upon commission and her work has been streamed and featured in several media, like the BBC, NPR, The Guardian and Bandcamp Daily. Her personal work orbits around the more-than-human world and our complex relationship with it, and wild animals are a big source of inspiration for thinking, listening, writing, making music and the landscapes she seeks. Currently she's working as a curator and podcast producer at the streaming platform earth.fm and works seasonally with sound design for audio dramas at Hemlock Creek Productions. We discuss:

In episode 2082, James Kirchick suggested that being Jewish and being a Zionist should be of all of one thing. Shane Burley reverses this. The co-author of Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Antisemitism, the Portland based, religiously orthodox Burley suggests that being Jewish might actually mean questioning not just Netanyahu, but the very intellectual foundations of the Zionist project. This division between nationalist and internationalist Jews isn't new, of course. But in a world where both antisemites and philosemites equate hatred of Israel with hatred of Jews, it's an important reminder that anti Zionism has a long heritage in the radical Jewish community.Shane Burley is a writer and filmmaker based in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism, Resistance, and Surviving the Apocalypse (AK Press, 2021) and Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It (AK Press, 2017), and the editor of the forthcoming anthology ¡No pasarán!: Antifascist Dispatches from a World in Crisis. His work is featured at places such as NBC News, The Daily Beast, The Independent, Jacobin, Al Jazeera, Haaretz, Tikkun, The Baffler,  Bandcamp Daily, Truthout, and the Oregon Historical Quarterly. He is also the editor of a special issue of the Journal of Social Justice on “Antisemitism in the 21st Century.” Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

The cassette tape was revolutionary. Cheap, portable, and reusable, this small plastic rectangle changed music history. Make your own tapes! Trade them with friends! Tape over the ones you don't like! The cassette tape upended pop culture, creating movements and uniting communities. High Bias: The Distorted History of the Cassette Tape (UNC Press, 2023) charts the journey of the cassette from its invention in the early 1960s to its Walkman-led domination in the 1980s to decline at the birth of compact discs to resurgence among independent music makers. Scorned by the record industry for "killing music," the cassette tape rippled through scenes corporations couldn't control. For so many, tapes meant freedom--to create, to invent, to connect. Marc Masters introduces readers to the tape artists who thrive underground; concert tapers who trade bootlegs; mixtape makers who send messages with cassettes; tape hunters who rescue forgotten sounds; and today's labels, which reject streaming and sell music on cassette. Their stories celebrate the cassette tape as dangerous, vital, and radical. Marc Masters is a music journalist whose work has appeared on NPR and in the Washington Post, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Bandcamp Daily. He is also the author of No Wave. Marc Masters on Twitter.

Carrie Frey is a New York City-based violist, improviser, and composer who “conjures an inviting warmth that leaves her virtuosity on the margins, placing the focus on her humanity (Bandcamp Daily).” Frey is the violist of the Rhythm Method and a founding member of string trio Chartreuse and string quartet Desdemona. She has performed with many of New York City's notable contemporary ensembles, including Wet Ink Large Ensemble, AMOC*, Talea Ensemble, and Cantata Profana. Host Stephen Anthony Rawson sits down with Carrie to talk about her new album, Seagrass: Works for Solo Viola. They take a dive into the music and composers featured on the album, as well as the science fiction writings of Arkady Martine, and the violist's need for a bigger wardrobe.

The era of ska shame is officially over, and ska fans no longer need to hide in the basement, skanking alone. The creator of the popular podcast In Defense of Ska has doubled down on defending the checkered flag genre with his new edition of In Defense of Ska: Ska Now More Than Ever Edition (Clash Books, 2024). The original version was chosen by Pitchfork as one of the best music books of 2021, and was an official recommended read in Rolling Stone's June 2021 issue. In this expanded version, author Aaron Carnes weaves in tons of new interviews and stories, continuing his crusade to rebuff pop culture's dismissal of American ska as nothing more than porkpie hats and silly lyrics. Updated journalistic essays, personal stories, historical investigations, and a brand-new epilogue exploring ska's “lost years” serve as a much-needed crash course on the hundreds of bands, big or small, that formed the passionate community that continues to love and evolve America's much-maligned and infamously underrated ska scene. Join the movement today and discover why ska is a cultural force that can't be ignored! Aaron Carnes is a music journalist based out of Northern California. His work has appeared in Playboy, Salon, Noisey, Bandcamp Daily, Sun Magazine, Sierra Club Magazine, and Ozy. He's also the music editor at Good Times weekly newspaper in Santa Cruz, CA.

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Oriana's choice of topic: the Noldor. Also termed the Deep-elves and, in early versions of the legendarium, the Gnomes – thankfully changed given unavoidable associations – they were one of the three ethnicities of the Eldar in general, the first Children of Iluvatar. As compared to the serene Vanyar and the many generally lower-key societies of the Teleri, the Noldor were the ones most driven by the desire to create and to learn about the world in general, though these tendencies, exacerbated by Melkor in his Valinorean captivity and the internal family strife of their royal house, resulted in all the many deeds of fame in Middle-earth on the one hand but also their near total destruction and eventual fading away on the other. By the time of The Lord of the Rings, only small societies and remnants were left, casting an influence on the course of events but not directing them. What can we learn from the stories of the women of the Noldor in particular, not just Galadriel but other figures such as Fëanor's mother Míriel and his wife Nerdanel or the Nargothrond princess Finduilas? What throughlines did Tolkien suggest in terms of how the Noldor both seemed the most human of the Elves as well as being driven by the same ambiguous creative impulses that haunted any number of beings in the legendarium? How does the decision to keep them from the center of the many arcs of The Lord of the Rings help shape the book into being the story that it is? And just how much of an obsessive creative type do you have to be to not only devise the writing system for your culture but to insist on sticking to a particular pronunciation because you're still mad about how things ended up with your family?Show Notes.Jared's doodle.

This week's episode is a chat around the sale of Bandcamp from Epic Games to Songtradr. With streaming paying pennies or less than for many artists, the independently-driven music platform Bandcamp is the last bastion of online revenue making for many bands - allowing musicians to sell their music digitally, and on vinyl or CD direct to their fans.Artists on Bandcamp collectively earned $193 million in the last year alone, and Bandcamp has paid out $1.19 billion since its founding in 2007.But recent business deals have meant Bandcamp was acquired by Songtradr, after a short 18 months owned by Epic Games. With the acquisition came news today that approximately half (60) of the Bandcamp staff of 118 employees, including the Bandcamp Daily team, had been laid off, with the entire negotiating team at the workers' union - Bandcamp United, let go.We discuss what it means for independent musicians, what the alternatives are and also the other dodgy news this week, that NTS radio have been partially bought by Universal and Spotify is planning on reducing its royalty payouts to a minimum threshold so that many artists literally won't get a penny for their song streams.All that, plus Niall shares his months-long local detective story, and Andrea talks about presenting PHD at a dance music conference in Huddersfield last week.* Support Nialler9 on PatreonShow notesThinking of ditching Spotify?

En este episodio muy especial de Songmess estamos conversando con Verraco, Nyksan y DJ Lomalinda, fundadores del influyente sello de música electrónica TraTraTrax. El extenso colectivo de productores de Medellín que también incluye talentos como Bitter Babe y Nick León se ha dado a conocer en casa e internacionalmente por su fresca mirada hacia el techno y la electrónica experimental, cuestionando el eurocentrismo proyectado sobre estos géneros musicales y resignificándolos como expresiones nuevas y válidas de la música Latinoamericana. Nuestra conversación abarca los inicios y el rápido crecimiento del sello, la competitiva y a la vez precaria vida nocturna de Medellín, presentaciones en grandes escenarios como Primavera Sound y Estéreo Picnic, el espíritu decolonial de este underground electrónico, y nuevos lanzamientos y shows que prometen cerrar el 2023 de manera explosiva. El soundtrack de hoy es de lo más fresco del techno actual, así que dénle play y recomendamos muchísimo que corran a la página de Bandcamp de TraTraTrax para instruirse en el futuro de la música electronica sudamericana. Playlist: Verraco, Nick León + DJ Babtr, Bitter Babe, Nicola Cruz, Doctor Jeep, Quixosis.

Today's guest deejay is Henrik Öhberg, AKA, Tvärvägen. I had the good fortune of meeting Henrik through Soundwave guest deejay Petter Lindhagen (listen to Petter's mix here). After each show, I ask my guests who they think would share a mix on Soundwave, and Petter highly recommended Henrik, which led me to listen to Henrick's music for an evening. The experience was everything I had hoped, and I extended an invitation to Henrik, and here he is today with his delightful mix. Henrik's fifth and latest album A Great Circle Route was released in January. The album was picked as New and Notable by the tastemakers at Bandcamp Daily. While A Great Circle Route owes a debt to Steve Reich's American minimalism and the street compositions of Moondog, those influences are distilled through Henrik's unique signature of soft, vaguely Nordic, melodic lines. Tvärvägen began as Henrik's experimental side hustle back in when he was part of the indie act Ironville and hip hop duo Amok. Soon enough, Tvärvägen was his main endeavor. Henrik's been dabbling with post-classical music for string quartet and ethereal soundscapes. His songs have been featured in numerous TV and radio shows, documentaries, news programs, children's shows, and more. Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Mike Lazarev. See you then.

Featuring Natalie Marlin (https://twitter.com/NataliesNotInIt)! For some, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD was an amusement. For others, it shattered growing cynicism. It's an epic in the classic sense, thrilling and regaling with focused sights and sounds and craft so impactful it seems like wizardry. At the same time, it's a bountiful narrative that works with the barest materials – neologisms, post-consumer weaponry, and roving bands of apocalyptic automobiles abound – to tell a rich story of redemption, reclamation, hope, and escape. “The Art of the Car Crash: Mad Max: Fury Road” by Trylon volunteer and Trylove guest Finn Odum: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/01/13/the-art-of-the-car-crash/ “Ride the Brutal Euphoria Wave with Angel Electronics” by Natalie Marlin for Bandcamp Daily: https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/angel-electronics-ultra-paradise-interview Moo: https://mmfrconfessions.tumblr.com/post/125295076648/you-know-that-bit-when-rictus-erectus-drinks-some Find Natalie… On Twitter at https://twitter.com/NataliesNotInIt On Letterboxd at https://letterboxd.com/framingthepic/ On Trylove Episode 162: THE THIRD MAN (1949), Episode 182: CHESS OF THE WIND (1979), and Episode 197: RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985) Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

Or click here for more information: Linktr.ee/BeatlesEarth   ----- The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.

My guest is Aaron Carey of the West Virginia black metal band Nechochwen. Aaron is a true Appalachian hesher who's also trained as a classical guitarist, and he's been using his musical project to retell and reinterpret indigenous history in his part of the world. He learned growing up that he was descended from some prominent members of the Shawnee and Lenape tribes, and he frequently talks about the history of those tribes, both in his lyrics and also in what he describes as non-lyrical tone poems.The latest Nechochwen album is called Kanawha Black, which you can stream or download or buy on a vinyl record via Bandcamp.

The roots of Cleveland indie rock/post-punk institution My Dad Is Dead stretch all the way back to 1984. Led by Mark Edwards, early recordings featured little more than drum machine and guitar. By 1990, the time the Shine double 7" EP was released by Scat Records, Edwards had incorporated other players—including bassist Chris Burgess and drummer Scott Pickering—but the core of the project remains him on his own, his Ian Curtis-style deadpan vocals and slacker guitar buzzing away. Join Marc and John as they drop the needle on this damaged gem and visit Bandcamp Daily for a fantastic overview of the project's vast discography. About The Spindle: The 7-inch record isn't just a format—it's an art form. On each episode of The Spindle podcast, music writer Marc Masters (Pitchfork, The Wire, Bandcamp) and music historian (and music maker) John Howard dive into a great 7-inch, dissecting its background, impact, and the reasons why it stands out as a small plastic piece of music history. What's your favorite 7″?

QRTR is an electronic music producer and DJ based in Brooklyn, NY. With a reverence for house music, QRTR fuses air-tight dance hooks with dreamy downtempo textures. Bouncing between high-energy DJ mixes and hypnotic original live sets, QRTR has shared the stage with the likes of Tokimonsta, Daedelus, Booka Shade, and Tiga, to name a few. While her Brooklyn home base will always be número um, QRTR has toured internationally, performing in Portuguese open air clubs and smoky Parisian lounges. Though her original tracks do not place within a specific genre, DJ Mag describes QRTR's music as a meeting between “art house film composer and basement rave.” QRTR's sophomore album, infina ad nausea, released on LA-based record label Dome of Doom is a treasure trove of hypnotic grooves that vortex around the many intricacies of her experimental approach and leave a testament to her growth as an artist. Dubbed as an "euphoric trip through the mind" by Pitchfork, the album has also received support from BBC Radio 6's Tom Ravenscroft, The Wire Magazine (UK), Paste Magazine, XLR8R, Bandcamp Daily and more. Extensive years working in the film world has shaped her music sonically and conceptually, adding a tonality and design to her works that is rare in dance music.

Stephen Deusner is the author of the wonderful biography about The Drive-by Truckers called Where the Devil Don't Stay. The Truckers may be my favorite band of all time and this book captures the essence of their appeal and importance. Stephen's work regularly appears in Uncut, No Depression, Pitchfork, the Bluegrass Situation, Bandcamp Daily, American Songwriter, and many other publications.  The music you are hearing is I Wanna Hold You from Jay Gonzalez's record Back to the Hive. In addition to his work on keys and guitars in Drive-by Truckers, Jay makes beautiful solo music.  

It began with the Beatles' “Helter Skelter.” It was distilled to its dark essence by Black Sabbath. And it's flourished into a vibrant modern underground, epitomized by Newcastle's Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. This is the evolution of heavy music, and “Electric Wizards” is your sonic gazetteer. The voyage is as varied as it is illuminating: from the lysergic blunt trauma of Blue Cheer to the locked grooves of Funkadelic, the aural frightmares of Faust to the tectonic crush of Sleep, alighting on post-punk, industrial, grunge, stoner rock, and numerous other genres along the way. Ranging from household names to obscure cult heroes and heroines, “Electric Wizards” demonstrates how each successive phase of heavy music was forged by what came before, outlining a rich and eclectic lineage that extends far beyond the usual boundaries of heavy rock or heavy metal. It extols those who did things differently, who introduced something fresh and exciting into this elemental tradition, whether by design, accident, or sheer chance. In doing so, “Electric Wizards” weaves an entirely new tapestry of heavy music.J.R. Moores is the resident psych-rock columnist for both the Quietus and Record Collector, and his work has also appeared in the Wire, Guardian, Bandcamp Daily, and Vice.

Radio/TV/podcast host and talent booker Mara Davis introduces Al to the The Chicks' (formerly The Dixie Chicks) Taking the Long Way, released in 2006. Several of the tracks address the backlash to lead singer Natalie Maines' comments about President George W. Bush made three years earlier, and Mara talked about how The Chicks' response to the incident helped to make her a fan of the group. She also highlighted her favorite tracks on the album, discussed the Spotify-Joe Rogan-Neil Young controversy and talked about the VOTEHER podcast that she co-hosts with Georgia state senator Jen Jordan.You can find all of the episodes of Mara and Jen's VOTEHER podcast right here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/voteher-podcast-with-jen-jordan-and-mara-davis/id1529098225While you've got your podcast app open, you owe it to yourself to check out The Jump with Shirley Manson (Mara books the guests for this show!): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jump-with-shirley-manson/id1469077859Follow Mara on Twitter! @maradavisAl is on Twitter at @almelchiorBB, and this show has accounts on Twitter and Instagram at @youmealbum.

The summer of 2020 was an explosive moment in America.  Not since the uprisings of the late 60's had we seen the country, en masse , light up in a wave of fiery protest. With a string of high profile vigilante and police killings, the tipping point for people to take to the streets and demand justice was the police murder caught on camera of George Floyd in Minneapolis.  As bystanders stood by shouting for law enforcement officers to release their deadly hold, kneeling on the neck of Floyd, his death became the catalyst for a movement to not just defund bloated police budgets, but to do away with them altogether.  Promises were made by certain municipalities, but not much has been done in major metropolitan areas to change law enforcement.    Did the Defund/Abolish movement do enough to get their demands met? Are we stuck in the era where hashtags and trending on social media are confused with true policy change?  With most of the country opening up, is this revolutionary moment gone? Can the activists that organized these radical protests pivot to electoral positions of power to enact real substantive change? We'll ask these questions and more   This is Revolution.   About Eamon Whalen: Contributed writing about music, culture and politics to publications including The Nation, Belt Magazine, The Outline, The FADER, Minnesota Reformer, Canada's National Observer, The Daily Dot, City Pages, contexts magazine of the American Sociological Association and Bandcamp Daily.   About TIR Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little) This week Beth and Wendy Colin Ferguson, a black man who in 1993, shot up a train car full of passengers, killing six and wounding nineteen. We dive into the setting (13:54), the killers early life (22:10) and the timeline (25:52).  Then, we get into the trial (44:27), "Where are they now?" (01:00:44) followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap.   As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs.  Thanks for listening!

We had Kevin Nichols on for this exciting interview. Kevin released "Disappointer" on August 21 and goes in-depth about everything that went into this album. The record label, Slang Church, played a huge role in getting this album out. Kevin thinks back to when he released the EP "Long Lungs," and Billy (Slang Church) telling him that he could put out a full-length album while the two were talking outside of an acoustic show. Now, two years later, after receiving the support of Billy, and other members of the Bay Area, the album is getting some buzz. Kevin also talks about playing at Bandcamp Daily, getting into music because his father worked for Bose speakers, moving out to the Bay Area, and getting fired from his job for sticking up for those less fortunate. Kevin is playing in an epic show with Shutups and Slumped on September 25 -- check it out if you are in the area!  Bandcamp: https://kevinnichols.bandcamp.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7qn33U6HT6yKiXys76C70i?si=ffYFOZGVQOCJoAGOm5io_w&dl_branch=1 Instagram: @kevichols

Episode 88 is Part 2 of my conversation with Jes Skolnik. As I mentioned last week, Jes writes for Bandcamp Daily, the music journalism arm of the Greatest Music Distribution Platform of all time. Besides being an incredibly gifted music journalist, they are also a musician, a trauma survivor, former addict, and a sexual assault survivor. This week we talk about toxic jobs, the journey from freelancer to senior editor, their struggle with drugs and depression, and what they do for self-care!

Together, Jes and I talk about the pandemic, surviving in isolation, overcoming trauma, and how it all relates to playing, loving, and writing about music.

Back when I was recording Episode 16 (Quasi, Field Studies) with Mariana Timony of Bandcamp Daily, I had promised that there would be a second part of our discussion forthcoming. This is that second part! Mariana and I spent nearly an hour discussing Quasi drummer/vocalist Janet Weiss' other band (though, sadly, one she is no longer a part of), Sleater-Kinney. We each offer our rankings of the band's studio albums and discuss some of our favorite (and least favorite) tracks from each along the way.Note: I made a comment about Sleater Kinney's The Hot Rock reminding me of “mid-period R.E.M.,” and then went on to cite Fables of the Reconstruction and Life's Rich Pageant as specific albums it reminded me of. As soon as I said this, I realized that, by any reasonable definition, those albums were a part of R.E.M.'s early period. I do think of Murmur and Reckoning as constituting a separate era in the band's discography but failed to come up with a better term for the era I was trying to describe (late-early?).Mariana is on Twitter, and you can follow her at @marianatimony. You can find her writing for Bandcamp Daily here, https://daily.bandcamp.com/contributors/mariana-timony, and her newsletter, The Weird Girls Post, here, https://weirdgirlspost.substack.com/. You can find me (Al) on Twitter at @almelchiorBB or at the account I created for this show, @youmealbum. Would love to hear any comments or questions you have about this episode or the show in general. Since I brought it up several times on this episode, let me know if you'd be interested in hearing Mariana and me talk about Sleater-Kinney's One Beat for a separate episode.1:20 Mariana (re)joins the show2:02 Mariana ranks the Sleater-Kinney albums26:14 Al counts them down 

Episode 63 of the Burning Ambulance Podcast features an interview with Seth Rosner and Yulun Wang of Pi Recordings.As you probably know by now, a typical episode is based around an interview with an artist. But Pi Recordings is such an important label when it comes to the kind of music covered on Burning Ambulance – I mean, Roscoe Mitchell, who’s released music on Pi both as a solo artist and with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, was the first ever guest on this show – that I thought it was important and worthwhile to have these guys on to discuss 20 years of the label.I’ve been listening to their releases pretty much since the beginning – the first titles I heard were The Year of the Elephant, by Wadada Leo Smith’s Golden Quartet, and Organic Resonance, a live duo album by Wadada and Anthony Braxton, and The Meeting, a reunion album by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. I was at one of the Art Ensemble’s performances at the New York jazz club Iridium that was recorded for the live double CD Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City; we talk about that record a little bit in the show. I haven’t heard every record they’ve put out, but I’ve heard at least half of them, and I’ve written about a ton of them for Bandcamp Daily, for Stereogum, for The Wire, for Burning Ambulance, for Jazziz, and probably other places as well. And I’ve known Seth and Yulun personally for years. I’ve run into them at the Jazz Gallery or at the Vision Festival or in record stores, and we’ve always gotten along and I’ve always enjoyed talking to them, and I think that feeling comes through in this conversation.We talk about a lot of different things relating to the label in this interview. We start from the beginning, but it’s as much about philosophy as history – they talk about why they do what they do, the kind of music they’re choosing to support and promote with their releases, and what it says about the culture that their highly specific niche within the world of jazz has been so well received by critics and the public, and that so many of their artists have received major awards. I mean, Henry Threadgill is a Pulitzer Prize winner and an NEA jazz master. Roscoe Mitchell is an NEA jazz master. Vijay Iyer is a MacArthur fellow. Tyshawn Sorey is a MacArthur fellow. Wadada Leo Smith was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Pi releases routinely land at the top of jazz critics’ polls, every single year. Anybody looking at the landscape would have to say that if there’s any kind of debate about the status of traditional versus so-called avant-garde jazz, the avant-garde guys have won. But it’s still a business, and the music business is tough, tougher than ever, honestly. So we talk about the realities of what it’s meant to run a small independent label and how they’ve managed to keep it going for 20 years, too.If you enjoy this podcast, please consider visiting patreon.com/burningambulance and becoming a subscriber.

We start from the beginning, but it’s as much about philosophy as history – they talk about why they do what they do, the kind of music they’re choosing to support and promote with their releases, and what it says about the culture that their highly specific niche within the world of jazz has been so well received by critics and the public, and that so many of their artists have received major awards. I mean, Henry Threadgill is a Pulitzer Prize winner and an NEA jazz master. Roscoe Mitchell is an NEA jazz master. Vijay Iyer is a MacArthur fellow. Tyshawn Sorey is a MacArthur fellow. Wadada Leo Smith was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Pi releases routinely land at the top of jazz critics’ polls, every single year. Anybody looking at the landscape would have to say that if there’s any kind of debate about the status of traditional versus so-called avant-garde jazz, the avant-garde guys have won. But it’s still a business, and the music business is tough, tougher than ever, honestly. So we talk about the realities of what it’s meant to run a small independent label and how they’ve managed to keep it going for 20 years, too.If you enjoy this podcast, please consider visiting patreon.com/burningambulance and becoming a subscriber.

Aaron Carnes loves ska. He loves it so much, that he has dedicated the last 7 years of his life putting together his soon to be released book, In Defense of Ska. The book is a love letter to the genre, diving very deep into the music's history and cultural impact. In the book, Aaron takes us from the dancehalls of Jamaica to the working class neighborhoods of London and over to the orange groves of Anaheim as he delivers tales of the various groups of bands that helped to showcase the music since the 1950's. There is an entire chapter dedicated to defending Reel Big Fish, a great story about how a little known band in the East Bay area that was a HUGE inspiration for the lads in Operation Ivy & Rancid, along with the story of how Let's Go Bowling avoided being gunned down in their van after a gig. It's really a great book that anyone that appreciates ska would enjoy. Aaron has written for the likes of Playboy, Salon, Bandcamp Daily, Sierra Club, Sun Magazine and is the music editor at Good Times Santa Cruz weekly newspaper. He spent several years as a the drummer for the hyper ska punk band Flat Planet, and has toured with the likes of Skankin' Pickle and MU330 doing merch and roadie duties. The book comes out in May of 2021 via Clash Books (clashbooks.com) and is available to pre-order now.

For his 2nd appearance on TRGMH, Marc makes the case for New Zealand pop-meisters The Chills and their 1990 should'a been smash “Submarine Bells”. It’s a strong case. Batter up!

Sponsored By: Panelists Richard Littauer | Justin Dorfman | Pia Mancini | Eric Berry | Allen “Gunner” Gunn Guest Kyle E. Mitchell Attorney, License Zero Show Notes Kyle E. Mitchell is an independent Attorney based in California. Today we talk to him about Open Source subjects such as “License Zero.” He delves into the types of licenses there are, what are their differences, and how they came about. Also, be sure to check out this week’s spotlights for ways to help out during the Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak. 1:42 Richard ask Kyle about his blog post about License Zero, aka dual licensing, selling exceptions, or public/private licensing. What it is, what it does, and how Dev’s get paid for their creative work. 03:14 Kyle explains that License Zero has two types of licenses, public, which is not open source and the other is parity. 06:55 Kyle talks about how License Zero started out with one licensing choice. It was similar to the Creative Commons license used for stock photos, music, etc. 10:24 Kyle reveals how he needed to create a new license for License Zero, a share-alike license that would help cover Dev’s work they were creating. 14:13 Pia asks about projects that he’s had experience using this license with, and lessons he’s learned. 21:00 Pia wants to know if License Zero is creating complexity in the Open Source world by having different licenses. Is this making it more difficult for people to navigate and understand what they can and can’t do with those licenses? Kyle goes into License Proliferation. 26:32 Richard brings up one of Kyle’s blog posts about the “curse of sustainability” and how it’s impossible to fix the open source problem. 33:04 So far, we’ve mainly talked about the “what” of licensing. Gunner wants Kyle to go into the “who” of licensing. Does he think of persona’s in the licensing world? Spotlight 41:15 Pia’s spotlight is the collective “Meals of Gratitude”, which sends meals to health workers. 41:52 Richard’s spotlight is FOSS Responders, which helps Open Source Developers and Open Source Projects during this COVID-19 crisis. 42:32 Kyle piggybacks Richard’s spotlight with Bandcamp Daily, which is also helping out music artist during COVID-19. 43:51 Gunner spotlights Indeed’s Head of Open Source, Duane O’Brien, who spearheaded the FOSS Responders movement. 45:16 Kyle chimes in with one more quick spotlight...Nick Craig-Wood’s Rclone library. Quotes 06:03 “And this idea that Open Source is a licensing question, first and foremost, and then that’s the whole question is wrong.” 44:14 “The thing I’m amazed with Duane is that he’s spun up this FOSS Responders project, he’s holding so many different communities with integrity, and he’s doing his job for Indeed. But he’s walking just 100% of what I consider to be free and Open source integrity.” 44:28 “He’s really being mindful of different communities and their different cultures. And in this time of crisis we need cloning to get done, so with Duane’s opt-in permission, we could have more Duane’s in this world. I feel like he is setting an example we all need to follow.” Links Kyle E. Mitchell Twitter (https://twitter.com/kemitchell) Kyle E. Mitchell Writings (https://writing.kemitchell.com/) Kyle E.

or over two decades Mike Hill has been a road warrior traversing the challenging terrain of extreme music, renegade journalism and end times documentarianism. Hill is known for fronting the metal band Tombs, who have released records on Metal Blade and Relapse Records, with 2011's Path of Totality getting the tap for Decibel Magazine's Record of the Year. The band has toured extensively and have performed at notable festivals such as Roadburn, Maryland Death Fest, Roskilde Festival, Ieper Fest and most recently Ozzfest Meets Knotfest. His written work has been published in Noisey, Revolver, Bandcamp Daily and Decibel. Hill is also a DJ at Gimme Radio, a streaming metal channel curated by notable artists in the genre, including Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Lamb of God's Randy Blythe and Dillinger Escape Plan's Ben Weinman. The Everything Went Black Podcast is a reflection of Mike Hill’s own psyche addressing the creative, intellectual and physical aspects of the human experience. For those out there that choose to live apart from flock, who embrace individuality, Everything Went Black should be a regular part of your world. The complexity of modern man is oft time under-served and under-estimated. As Miyamoto Musashi wrote “to know the way broadly, is to see it in all things”. Why not embrace all aspects of life and celebrate the Savage Life of a self-realized individual?

Detroit-born Nashville-based guitarist and songwriter Olivia Jean worked as a hairstylist and makeup artist before she was able to make music full-time (Mariana Timony, Bandcamp Daily.) She first cut her teeth as a Third Man Records studio musician, then with the garage-goth band, The Black Belles. She released her debut solo record of “bubblegum garage” Bathtub Love Killings in 2014, which had some heartache, revenge, and a bit of delightfully dark strangeness to it. Now with her latest, 2019's Night Owl, in which she had the controlling interest as producer, there are unavoidable undercurrents of surf rock dripping from nearly every song. The ‘weird girl …who cut class to play surf guitar alone in her room’ (Bandcamp Daily - and have you seen her ASMR Makeover video?), Olivia Jean, joins us with her mighty band to play songs from this latest record, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Watch the session here:

We're turning the spotlight on New Orleans and Hawaii with this show. New Orleans' U.S. Nero stopped by Shards to record a session in September 2015 while they were in the middle of their tour. U.S. Nero stands in stark contrast to the jam bands and cover bands you'll find in tourist areas of New Orleans. Jazz, punk, garage, and surf collide into a heady mix to make U.S. Nero's sound and, like so many other bands in NOLA's DIY scene, its members split their time between other area bands. For our staff picks, we decided to do some scene archeology into the DIY music coming out of Hawaii. Its completely unique structure piqued our interest but its members' passion for the scene is what won us over. A big part of the music in Honolulu and surrounding areas is Failed Orbit Records started by Ray Farias and Kevin Tit. In 2014, Rawb Cunningham, Eduard Panen, Will and Jo Adair, and Jhune Liwanag joined Failed Orbit with the goal of using label to book shows that featured mainland bands. From throwing fundraiser shows to flying bands over to the islands, Failed Orbit has injected the Hawaii scene with new life in the last three years.

Five years ago singer/songwriter Natasha Jacobs' band Thelma didn't even exist. But half a decade isn't a terribly long time. Only 60 months. 1,825 measly days! Especially when a long- held dream is conceived. Natasha utilized that period to finally focus on her music. When a fall from a ladder left her bedridden, she took advantage of the homebound solitude to study the guitar and write songs. Spurred by one-part inspiration and one-part tragedy, the glorious result is Thelma's debut LP. Their self-titled album just came out in February and has already claimed praise from Bandcamp Daily for Natasha and Co.

In the words of music editor/writer J. Edward Keyes, there is a remedy for nostalgia, specifically when you're discussing new music. The best recordings didn't cease when you left your teens. Amazing songs are in full abundance, but now you have to do a bit of online legwork to unearth them. Joe's background has been a statement of his receptivity with over two decades of writing about an array of styles from hip-hop to black metal to Christian rock. The latter? A signpost harkening back to Joe's nascent journalism career writing for Christian music magazines prior to contributing to secular publications like SPIN, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. He also left behind an early calling to be a youth pastor. Joe's currently the editorial director at Bandcamp, a music platform for independent musicians to sell their music and merchandise. He oversees the Bandcamp Daily website that is an eclectic source of interviews, genre round-ups and in-depth articles. Joe also has a personal blog, An Atheist's Guide to Christian Rock, that explores and reevaluates some of his most beloved music of the genre. Follow J.
