Liv....Birkenhead's Crapsons (who are good lads) have come across the Mersey to visit us this week. And who better to celebrate international workers' day with us! Their drummer is a stand up guy, the songs are about their day to day experiences AND they recently opened up for Half Man Half Biscuit.Tom and the main man Mike share a horrific karaoke injury experience, we find out what happens when you block a nun, we get nostalgic right off the bat and discuss the planning and execution of the band's very own festival, Crapfest!Tom reports back on his first Stamford/Mama Liz's/Scary Clown experience, Niall's done his homework and has some musings on Cocksparrer's hit record "shock troops" and we check out where our roving reporter Mark L Williamson has been in our final (sad face emoji) MLPP World Service.Songs to get your laughing gear around are from: Party Boss, The Fuckin' Glorious, Against Me!, The Meffs, Carburetor Dung and Dropkick Murphys.
Hanif Abdurraqib is a poet, essayist, and critic whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine and many other publications. His new book is A Little Devil in America: In Praise of Black Performance. “I learn from hearing my elders tell stories. There's an inherent knowing of yourself as a vessel for narration who also has to—is required to—hold the attention of others at all costs. And that's essentially what I'm trying to do. The broader project of my writing is almost a constant pleading of: Don't leave yet. Stay here with me for just a little bit longer.” Show notes: @NifMuhammad abdurraqib.com Abdurraqib on Longform 02:00 A Little Devil in America (Random House • 2021) 09:00 Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung (Lester Bangs • Anchor • 1988) 10:00 The Crown Ain't Worth Much (Button Poetry • 2016) 14:00 They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us (Two Dollar Radio • 2017) 20:00 Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest (University of Texas Press • 2019) 25:00 Stakes Is High (De La Soul • Tommy Boy, Warner Brothers • 1996) 33:00 Black Movie (Danez Smith • Button Poetry • 2014) 37:00 Abdurraqib's MTV News archive 39:00 "Mo Salah Is Ready to Make the Whole World Smile" (Bleacher Report • Jun 2018) 44:00 Red Dead Redemption (Rockstar Games • 2010) 47:00 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo • 2017) 47:00 Elden Ring (Bandai Namco Entertainment • 2022) Learn more about your ad choices.

Punk is more than the music one listens to or the fashion one spots. Joining us this week is Joe Kidd, guitarist of punk rock band Carburetor Dung and historian of Southeast Asian rock and roll, to explore the moral universe of punks in Malaysia. We talk about his coming of age in Dungun Terengganu, the many different art worlds that punk would grant him access into, and also what it means to grow old as a punk - which is also a story about class, race, power, community, agency, and being true to oneself.

Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want to Talk About Race, joined co-hosts Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher for a discussion on race in America at The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. Ijeoma begins with the tale of how she became a social media superstar when she bravely highlighted a set of racist posts targeting her, and then exposed Facebook's shameful response (the company temporarily banned Ijeoma). The episode confirmed her status as a prominent truth-telling voice on the digital battlefield that is the national dialogue in the Age of Trump. Few of us ever engage in public exchanges with such high stakes; Ijeoma shares how it has impacted her as a mother, a writer, and a human being. Throughout the interview, her reflections on race, and how best to combat racism, show why she is such a brilliant champion for our time. Also, Hanif Abdurraqib, author of They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, returns to recommend the writings of one of his heroes and predecessors, Lester Bangs, collected in Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung.
Scene muzik underground Malaysia dan Asia Tenggara bukanlah sesuatu yang boleh dipandang enteng. Sumbangannya kepada dunia muzik dan “subculture” moden adalah amat besar. Tetapi, apakah usaha yang dilakukan, untuk memastikan perjalanan dan gerakan ini sentiasa diingati dan dijadikan contoh, baik untuk kenangan ataupun kajian? Menyedari kurangnya usaha tersebut, Joe Kidd, gitaris band punk Carburetor Dung dan seorang yang telah lama berkecimpung dalam scene underground ini, mewujudkan The Ricecooker Archives. Matlamatnya: mewujudkan satu arkib Rock and Roll Malaysia dan Asia Tenggara, untuk rujukan dan kajian bersama.

We welcome guest Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib (author of, most recently, The Crown Ain't Worth Much) to talk about the collected writings of music critic Lester Bangs, assembled as a book after Bangs's death. We talk about good music writing versus bad music writing, how to make an argument about things you love and things you hate, how to keep nostalgia in its proper place, and why the NBA is a better ethical choice for sports fans than the NFL. For more, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.
Come spend 45 minutes in the Red Hook living room shared by Hospitality's singer and percussionist a day after the launch of their sophomore record. The expectations are elevated this time out, after the healthy amount of buzz generated by the band's self-titled indie-pop debut. You wouldn't know it from outward appearances, however. All is calm in the Brooklyn band's apartment. Dinner is on the stove and Michel is halfway through Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung. The tour, after all, is still a few months away.
