The Dolls Pod season 1 finale is dedicated to a real rock-and-roll legend: artist, “recovering groupie,” and beloved Chicagoan Cynthia Plaster Caster. Cynthia was just as vibrant and fun as she was dedicated to her art. She had a wicked sense of humor, and she lit up every room she was in. We'd like to extend our sincerest thanks to Cynthia's friends for helping us make this episode happen: Bryan Wendorf, Babette Nov, and our special guest this week, “Plaster Caster” director of photography Jeff Economy. “Cynthia Plaster Caster: Breaking The Mold” is available wherever you listen to your podcasts
This week we talked to the legendary musician Bob Bert of Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Chrome Cranks, Lydia Lunch Retrovirus & Bewitched, who picked the equally legendary Danny Fields documentary, Danny Says, to discuss. We talk about Danny's trials with the bands he loved and discovered (including The Stooges, MC5, Jonathan Richman & The Ramones); the notion of chance meetings in art; Danny breaking the news of John Lennon saying ‘The Beatles are bigger than Jesus Christ' and the aftermath he created for them; changing a guitar string without stopping playing a song; 16 Magazine; Bob's early shows seeing Suicide, Wayne County, Patti Smith, New York Dolls & Television; the greatness of Dead Moon & The Scientists; WFMU; shoplifting MC5 records; the Super 8mm punk document Blank Generation; how he joined both Sonic Youth & Pussy Galore; Rock Scene magazine, the genesis of the Pussy Galore drum set he built and how it hurts to play it, his process with publishing BB Gun Magazine, doing drugs and seeing Pink Floyd, unsung NYC band heroes, planning out your whole week around rock shows, Max's Kansas City and why we haven't gotten a Jonathan Richman documentary yet!So, let's roll our eyes along with the singular force that changed music forever on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.BOB BERT:https://goner-records.com/products/im-just-drummer-bob-bert-book-hozacInstagram: @therealbobbertLIMITED EDITION REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE SHIRT:revolutionspermovie.bandcamp.comREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.

Welcome to the final episode of Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions' 2022 season. We saved a great one for the finale: Kid Congo Powers. Born Brian Tristan in La Puente, California, he eventually adopted the stage name which appears on the cover of Some New Kind of Kick, a new memoir that documents his time in The Cramps, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and The Gun Club, with whom he's credited for “excessive feedback, guitar and slide guitar, whirling whirlies, maracas and ancient mutterings.” And that's not all it covers. Kid's story is a layered one. The book, written with Chris Campion, gets into all of it, including frank examinations of queer identity, struggles with addiction, and his connection to the late Jeffrey Lee Pierce—who's dream visit inspired his 2020 Pink Monkey Birds Latin psych epic “He Walked In.” At once hilarious, tender, and possessing an almost dreamlike spiritual quality, it's a great read. And it arrives alongside two new records: Summer Forever and Ever, the second album by Wolfmanhattan Project, his trio with Mick Collins of The Dirtbombs and Gories and Bob Bert, formerly of Sonic Youth, and Kid Congo Powers and The Near Death Experience Live in St. Kilda, a live concert taped in Australia. Both will be out physically in 2023—but you can listen to them digitally now. Or rather, after you finish this conversation between host Jason P. Woodbury and Kid, fellow Arizonans. Thanks so much for listening to Transmissions. Our 2022 season closes with this episode. We'll be back in early 2023, keep your eyes on Aquarium Drunkard for more info and check out the Patreon for bonus content we'll be sharing over the next couple months. This season of Transmissions is concluded.
This week, drummer Kevin Shea drops by for a chat. He has been filling in for Bob Bert in Retrovirus as Bob is on hiatus drumming for Jon Spencer. Kevin is a great drummer who has played with Talibam!, Mostly Other People Do the Killing, Bar Shea Dahl, Storm and Stress, Rhys Chatham, Sexy Thoughts, American Liberty League and many many other bands.
Bob Bert was part of a stellar generation that got to see the likes of The Talking Heads, The Cramps, The Gun Club, Ramones, just to name a few, come up in the mid/late 70s New York. Bert witnessed some of the most influential bands, but also participated in some of the most influential bands of his generation. That being Sonic Youth in the early/mid 80's. I can honestly say without a shred of doubt, that Sonic Youth are one of my favorite groups, so the honor and privilege to speak to this legend was simply mind blowing! After Sonic Youth, Bert went on to participate in groups such as Pussy Galore, Bewitched, Chrome Cranks and Lydia Lunch. As of late, Bert has been in playing in Lydia Lunch Retrovirus and has recently written a novel!

Tune in for a big, big, bigger than big, episode of Arts & Seizures featuring Mike Edison in studio with superstars Peter Zaremba, Keith Streng, and Bob Bert!
In this bonus mini-episode, Bob Bert talks about the No-Wave scene; the legacy of Sonic Youth's classic album, Bad Moon Rising; and his relationship with his successor in the band, Steve Shelley.
Bob Bert first gained notoriety as the drummer on Sonic Youth's early records. Next, he played with Jon Spencer in Pussy Galore, and he currently works with Lydia Lunch in Retrovirus. He talks to Joe about how he discovered punk and no wave, how his background in visual art informed his musical concept, and he describes the difficult experience of caring for his dying wife.
This week on Arts & Seizures, host Mike Edison and guest co-host Bob Bert welcome Erin Norris to the show. Notably, Bob is a past member of Sonic Youth and currently plays with Lydia Lunch, while Erin is the owner of the Red Hook restaurant Grindhaus. Telling Mike of the journey to open the restaurant (it was set to open just before Hurricane Sandy hit), she also shares that prior to her restaurant opening she worked in a very different type of service industry. A former dominatrix with a SoHo dungeon, she shares that hung up her S&M gear more than a decade. She goes on to give the guys the details on what to expect from Grindhaus plus a lot more! This program was brought to you by Roberta’s Pizza.
This week on Arts & Seizures, host Mike Edison is kicking off 2015 with co-host Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones welcoming guests, post punk superstars Ivan Julian and Bob Bert. Opening the show with the guys catching up with one another, Mike checks in with the projects that each are working on at the moment before getting into a discussion on the state of the music business today and how it’s a hard place to crack with the influx of home recording technology. Ivan and Bert perform a few acoustic sets in studio and share where listeners can catch them playing around the city. After the break, Mike gets the inside scoop on playing CBGBs from Ivan and his past recording experiences and closes out the show with Peter promising more shenanigans in store for next week. This program was brought to you by Roberta’s Pizza.
