“There was always a way that music could speak to me,” says Youth Lagoon's Trevor Powers. “I was really shy as a kid and I had a lot on my mind that I didn't know how to get out. And music felt like one of those cheat codes where I felt like what I could say through one song was a lifetime worth of what was in my brain that I couldn't say any other way.” I was instantly captivated by Youth Lagoon's music when I first heard it more than a decade ago: Trevor Powers' plaintive, childlike voice, the dreaminess and heady sonic textures of his music, the candor in his storytelling. In the years since the Boise, Idaho artist's 2011 debut album, he has continually deepened his ability to make music that soothes and haunts at the same time. His latest album, Rarely Do I Dream, is his best yet, and one of my favorite LPs of 2025 so far. In the conversation in episode 121, Trevor talks about how discovering a trove of old home movies helped inspire the new album, and remind him of the importance of finding the true feeling at the center of a memory. He also discusses growing up hearing artists like Elvis and The Beach Boys and John Denver while being homeschooled, before finally being exposed to bands like Korn and the Offspring and Blink-182 when he eventually attended high school, and later discovering artists like My Bloody Valentine and Oingo Boingo thanks to his uncle introducing him to more cutting edge music. “There's always something that's coming in that's changing not only my thought process, but there's something internally that's awakening my spirit in these new ways and pushing me in all these different directions,” he says. “There could be an endless amount of lifetimes and I can't get it all out, what's up here.”Trevor also shares why he decided to "kill off" the Youth Lagoon Project several years ago, and to instead record under his own name for awhile, and why he chose to resurrect the moniker back in 2022. Youth Lagoon is on tour in the U.S. until mid-May. Get more info here.

That's right, we've got The Dude hisself: Jeff Bridges. This week on Transmissions, he joins us to discuss his new archival record, Slow Magic, 1977-1978. Listening to the record sounds like eavesdropping on the coolest Hollywood party you've never been invited to: Bridges and co. sound like they are blowing off steam more than making a proper record, their wild music sound, as Bridges' frequent musical collaborator Keefus Ciancia put it, “like The Band playing at CBGB With The Exploding Plastic Inevitable.” There are members of Oingo Boingo on hand, and Burgess Meredith delivering some bewildering and beautiful spoken word. Sourced from an old cassette tape, it was released on Record Store Day by our friends at Light in the Attic, featuring a great set of liner notes by the fantastic writer Sam Sweet, and it's a blast.  Film, music, art, Buddhism—in this conversation, we cover it all and get into some fascinating countercultural tangents, touching on Buckminster Fuller, John Lilly, Ram Dass, Captain Beefheart, and more. It's a fascinating talk and Slow Magic is a tremendous listen, so press play and abide.

We all have vivid memories of our first rock concerts. You know the ones - when you're young, full of anticipation with no knowledge or understanding of the assault on your senses that a great rock show brings. These are the moments we capture on First Concert Memories and for episode 21, we have none other than Brian Slagel. Yes metalheads, THE Brian Slagel who founded Metal Blade Records more than 40 years ago. The first man to put a Metallica song on a commercially available tape. That's how we know Brian. But on this episode, he's taking us back to when he was a 16 year old KISS fan, hoping to get to see his heroes live for the first time. Thankfully, his neighbor Carl Graves (a performer and musician in his own right who would tour with Oingo Boingo in the 80s & 90s) told Brian's mother that he'd take him to the show and make sure he got home safe. So Brian saw his first ever concert - KISS on the Alive! Tour on February 24, 1976. A teenage Brian was blown away by the pyro, the fire and blood spitting demon, the loudness of the Marshall stacks and the spectacle that a KISS concert in 1976 offered. Brian also tells us about getting to know the original members of KISS on a personal basis, which band he's seen over 300x and his killer new podcast - The 100 Songs That Define Heavy Metal.

In this episode of Born to Watch, we take a wild ride back to 1985 for a Weird Science (1985) Review, where two geeky teens somehow manage to create the perfect woman with a little help from a computer, some questionable science, and a whole lot of 80s magic. But does this John Hughes cult classic still hold up today, or is it a relic best left in the past? Whitey, G Man, and Damo break it all down—the absurd plot, the unforgettable performances, and the film's impact on pop culture.From Oingo Boingo's legendary theme song to the iconic Kelly LeBrock taking nerd wish-fulfillment to a whole new level, Weird Science is packed with classic 80s energy. But how does it fare when viewed through a modern lens? We debate the film's over-the-top humor, its place in the John Hughes cinematic universe, and whether it's truly a teenage fantasy or just plain ridiculous. And speaking of ridiculous—how about that scene-stealing performance from Bill Paxton as Chet? He might just be one of cinema's most unforgettable older brothers.And here's a question for the real movie buffs: Did Mad Max 2 inspire Weird Science? With Vernon Wells reprising a very familiar role, it's hard to ignore the similarities. We dig into the connections between the two films and how a Mad Max villain somehow ended up in this teenage comedy.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without some heated debates. Are Ian and Max the worst dweeb bullies in movie history? Did this film get overlooked in a stacked year of 80s cinema? And what was up with Gary's infamous bar scene—comedic genius or a joke that went on way too long?We also bring back the fan-favorite Hit Sleeper Dud segment, uncovering forgotten 1985 gems and taking a closer look at No Retreat, No Surrender, Fortress, and the bizarre misfire that was Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Plus, we read some hilarious listener comments and break down why one fan thinks our Fight Club episode might just be the Dune: Part Two of our podcast.And don't miss the return of Whitey's Kick Arse Credit Theme Song, only a quality jingle could make Gow's song this week better.

The life of Michael Parenti is truly extraordinary, as he witnessed two significant cultural movements that changed the word. Growing up in Malibu, he went to school with the likes of Sean Penn and Charlie Sheen, met a young Madonna before she was an international star, hung out in Bob Dylan's house, and saw live acts like Nirvana and Red Hot Chilli Peppers long before MTV made them famous. As an internet entrepreneur, he became involved with the Bitcoin Foundation and also saw the early days of Ethereum. He attended hundreds of events, spoke with some of the people who are completely unapproachable today, and found himself in the middle of something magical, naive, and revolutionary. In this episode, we talk about the backstage politics that Michael Parenti witnessed and what it was like to believe in the cyhpherpunk dream more than a decade ago.

If you've ever heard the phrase "this could only happen in LA", you'll know that Los Angeles is a fascinating and bizarre city, with millions of transplants clogging up the freeways, trying to make their mark in the entertainment capitol of the world. For those who grew up here, this stuff is old hat. For example, Morty Coyle and Jordan Summers are LA natives and literally went to high school with rock stars and movie stars. University High School in West LA has a long and fascinating history, and to take a glance at a list of former students at Uni High is to have your mind blown. This place is legendary for a reason and ATTT is delighted to have Morty and Jordan give us a guided tour, and help us count down the 10 greatest musicians and singers those hallowed halls have yet produced. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.Morty and Jordan make great music as members of LA stalwarts All Day Sucker.

Merry Christmas! Next up in our Christmas movie reviews is "The Nightmare Before Christmas." - If the various holidays (each represented by a tree in this movie) each got their own movie and eventually crossed over to form the "Nightmare Before Holiday" Cinematic Universe, which holiday (or maybe day of the week) would be the antagonist? - Does this movie contain any deeper meanings, and what could those be? - How well developed (or not) is the relationship between Jack and Sally? What are the different theories online about Jack's emotions & motivations? - How is Danny Elfman's band, Oingo Boingo, relevant to this movie, and did Todd really have to add a boing sound effect every time Oingo Boingo is mentioned? - What information did Preston have about the re-release of this movie with a modern rock & heavy metal soundtrack? - What were the opinions about the songs in the movie? - What were the good & bad things about the antagonist, Oogie Boogie? - How well did the visual techniques in this 33-year-old movie hold up to today, and was any appreciation for the techniques distinct from opinions about the visual style? - How much trouble did Todd have giving this movie a score, and what were the mixed emotions involved? - And, as we've been asking with all our Christmas reviews this year (and some from previous years), is this truly a Christmas movie...or not? Listen now for the answers to these and other haunting questions as we contemplate..."The Nightmare Before Christmas." You can contact us at discerninggeeks@gmail.com.

I discovered Oingo Boingo going to high school in southern California and listening to 91 X out of San Diego. I was attracted to this punky southern California band everyone seemed to love. They were fun, whacky, and had this interesting little halloweeny association, especially in southern California where for years they would do a run of epic shows in Los Angeles and San Diego. Eventually seeing them became a yearly thing for my friend Mike and me, lasting several years. We'd often see a couple of Halloween shows a year, whether at Irvine Meadows or San Diego State Open Air Theater. Even those couple of times towards the end without the horn section, believe it or not!

Barry and Abigail discuss Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Halloween and sample Voodoo Ranger Juice Force, Voodoo Ranger Peach Force IPA, and Voodoo Ranger Tropic Force IPA from New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Most Popular IPA in the Country Is Voodoo Ranger. So Is the Second. Abigail first saw a live performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in Gainesville, Florida, at the late great High Dive. Read more about this historic music venue! Barry compared Every Day is Halloween by Ministry to Midnight Oil (perhaps Arctic World or Sell My Soul?). We granted one credit at the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music to F.O.T.P. Joe Turocey for his comparison of Superfine by Cloud Eleven to Life on Mars? by David Bowie. Barry revealed to Abigail that Danny Elfman is the lead singer of Oingo Boingo. Barry and Abigail recognized Elfman's vocals in Dead Man's Party in Jack's Obsession and Poor Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, respectively. We listened to the original Halloween Theme - Main Title by John Carpenter to compare it to the version by MX-80 Sound. We also listened to several different interpretations of The Munsters theme to compare them to the version by Comateens. We shared the original TV show theme, as well as interpretations by Los Straitjackets, Herman and the Humans, The Escalators, and The Coffin Daggers. Barry shared a clip of Dave Edmunds' biggest hit, I Hear You Knocking, as well as the original by Fats Domino. Abigail entered The Creature From the Black Lagoon by Dave Edmunds into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Goin' or Comin' by Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass Kickin Team. After listening to Halloween by Sonic Youth, we listened to a clip of their song Kool Thing, which appears on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. After listening to Halloween by Dead Kennedys, we listened to a clip of their song Holiday in Cambodia, which also appears on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock!

In this Halloween "spooky season" episode of Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael, we delve into the unsettling world of true crime cinema with Chuck Parello, a filmmaker renowned for his work on notorious serial killer films. Parello began as the publicist for John McNaughton's groundbreaking and controversial Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which faced a grueling battle with the MPAA that refused to grant it an R-rating despite extensive cuts. J.G. and Chuck discuss the haunting power of Henry, the terrifyingly quiet portrayal of the titular character by Michael Rooker, and how the film isn't a straightforward biopic of infamous killers Henry Lee Lucas, who came to be known as "The Confessions Killer" for fabricating many of his claims in exchange for special privileges, or Otis Toole but rather a unique examination of monstrous characters. Chuck then details his own sequel, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Part II, where Henry is drawn into the world of arsonists, shedding light on the creative origins of that choice. The conversation continues with Chuck's film Ed Gein, which diverges from fictionalized films inspired by the Butcher of Plainfield—such as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs—and instead stays grounded in the actual life and psyche of Ed Gein. Featuring Steve Railsback, known for his unnerving performance as Charles Manson in the 1970s TV miniseries Helter Skelter, Railsback's portrayal of Gein is both unsettling and oddly tragic, showcasing a different side of the infamous killer. Chuck and J.G. also discuss The Hillside Strangler, a disturbing portrayal of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono's deadly partnership, in which C. Thomas Howell and Nicholas Turturro take on chilling roles as the murderous cousins whose combined force drove them to escalate their crimes in late 1970s Los Angeles. Further, Chuck shares insights on his upcoming project on the Sunset Strip Killers/The Sunset Slayers (Doug Clark and Carol Bundy) and how he was originally was slated to direct the 2002 Ted Bundy biopic before Oingo Boingo's Matthew Bright ended up with the job. They tackle ethical questions surrounding the portrayal of real-life killers, the potential for exploitation, and the cultural obsession with true crime, shedding light on the complex responsibilities of filmmakers in this genre. This episode is a must-listen for fans of horror, crime thrillers, and serial killer cinema, as it examines the artistry and ethics of bringing these haunting real-life tales to the screen.

Brett Cline is, as he puts it, from the "Deep South." But he's such a California kid that by that he means Southern California.   In Part 1, get to know Brett, who for the past decade or so has run The Lost Church performing arts theater. His life began in Orange County, where his parents ended up after meeting at UCLA and traveling around the world when his dad was a pilot in the Navy.   Brett was heavily into the punk rock scene in SoCal in the Eighties (think bands like Social Distortion and Suicidal Tendencies, among others). But his love of music started in fourth grade when he snuck into the bedroom of an older neighbor kid and found the first record from Oingo Boingo, a band that changed his life. They were his first brush with alternative art, and soon became a defining point of his early personality.   He dabbled in the four pillars of life in SoCal: He skateboarded, surfed, listened to punk rock, and ate at Taco Bell. Brett started playing drums in sixth grade and his first band was called High Voltage. He would write lyrics and draw album covers, while his friend Mark made beats on snare drums only.   His mom was always a community person. She is a christian, but not a book-burner, as he says. She started a community organization centered around school issues: Citizens Action to Save Education (CASE). She was later school board president and continued to be involved in local politics around school issues. When his Navy service ended, Brett's dad got into the corporate world. He started several aviation companies. Today, Brett sees aspects of both of his parents in the foundation of The Lost Church.   As a kid, he often went with his parents to community theaters. Brett's dad plays organ, his mom plays piano, one of his two brothers played clarinet, and his sister went to NYU and became an actor and singer.   In high school, Brett started playing more music and always wanted to tour, though that never really worked out. He started playing bass and singing more. In 1989, he graduated high school and went to UC Santa Barbara. His college band, St. Rusticus, had the local record for getting shut down by cops the fastest. "Three songs in, and the cops were there."   Going to UCSB introduced Brett to Northern California, partly because the school paired kids from SoCal with kids from NorCal in the dorms. He'd visited SF with his family when he was a kid. It was different from where he's from, but he didn't immediately like it. In college, though, he took trips up here and fell in love. He'd come up, do mushrooms and acid, and listen to older, more-mainstream rock. He got heavily into the Grateful Dead, even touring with them, as many fans do.   After college, the plan was to move to SF with his friend Davey Lyle. (Lyle did many of the paintings seen today all around The Lost Church). But in his senior year, Brett got a D in art and learned that the Spanish he took at junior college didn't transfer to the UC. And so he dropped out, got a loan from his parents, bought a computer, scanner, and Photoshop, and started making album covers for local bands.   Then his dad got him an internship in London with a graphic arts company and he took it. He saw many shows there but came back after only nine months. And when he came back, he moved immediately to San Francisco.   With no job and no prospects, Brett moved in with his friend Davey, who'd already made the move up. They lived in a warehouse in the Mission on 20th near Harrison, then moved to Sixth and Market. It was December 1993.   Check back next week for Part 2 and the origin story of The Lost Church.   We recorded this podcast at The Lost Church San Francisco in May 2024.

Aine and Alex celebrate 50 main episodes of the podcast as they discuss Tobe Hooper's 50-year-old classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and his tonal shift of a sequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. With Nubbin's marionetted corpse dancing to Oingo Boingo, the girls cover everything from portrayals of disabilities in film to the slashers they could most easily seduce.

Welcome to the Weird Al vs. Everybody season of MASTAS! We're looking at a couple dozen Weird Al Yankovic songs and the originals that inspired him, and choosing a winner in each match-up -- starting with Coolio homage "Amish Paradise"! Before we get into self-serious videos for movies we think might be fake, cultural appropriation of pre-tech societies, and how Stevie Wonder feels about our swearing, we've got an important announcement about voting and future in-person events...but then we're back to discussing whether Weird Al-chemy turns "Gangsta's" into gold. Listen now, English! Our intro is by David Gregory Byrne; the WAvE theme-let is a mash-up of Oingo Boingo, Elvis Costello, Black Box, and Michael Buffer; and our outro is by The Primitives.
