When I was a kid in the 80's, I used to listen to a local radio show called On The Wire, presented by Steve Barker. Steve and John Peel were single handedly responsible for me finding bands and artists like African Headcharge, Sonic Youth, Tackhead, Test Dept, Cabaret Voltaire, Mark Stewart and The Mafia, Keith Le Blanc, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and so many others. It was so, so thrilling to discover these new artists. And the show is still going, Steve is still going (albeit on Mixcloud because the BBC unceremoniously turfed him off the radio in favour of some shit pretentious show that'll have the listeners running for the hills.Anyway, he tags his shows with the magnificent term of “Undefinable” which makes me just love him even more because I loathe the whole way that genres are used to stereotype and pigeonhole.And this is where – in a long winded way - my guest, David Roush and his wonderful band Ecce Shnak fit in. Undefinable. Going back to the release of Letter to German Vasquez Rubio around 13/14 years ago to their latest single Katy's Wart from their LP Joke Oso. They are a fascinating kaleidoscope of creative fertility and imagination which I think is one of the most important characteristics to have in the world today and I'm really excited to talk to David about his mindset and how this has helped to shape who he is today.https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.

A harpist since childhood–as well as the daughter of one–Mary Lattimore’s choice of instrument reveals the simple beauty it contains, transcending the stereotype of it being strictly for use in classical music or as flourishes in movie soundtracks. Her ability to cut straight to the heart in her compositions works the same trick, not relying on the standard glissandos often employed by traditional players, but simply reducing the instrument to its essence. Her most recent release is a duet with Julianna Barwick, Tragic Magic, and came out in January of 2026. The duo will perform at this year’s Big Ears Festival in Knoxville in March of 2026. Hear how songs by Debussy, The Cure, and Sonic Youth guided her musical path.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jib Machine Records is pleased to announce that its kicking off 2026 with some exciting news. Signed with Jib Machine since 2021, one of punk music's most notorious bands, Nihilistics, are featured in the new multi-CD release, “CBGB – A New York city Soundtrack 1975-1986”.

The four-piece hardcore band, comprised of Ron Rancid, Ajax Lepinksi, Joe Dread and Troy, first took on the New York scene in 1979. Among the band's more notorious live concerts, are their first-ever gig that resulted in Rancid's arrest. The legend grew and from there the band gigged at the famed CBGB and a slew of other Manhattan clubs followed, as did several albums to their name. Additional artists on the Cherry Red Records release include Talking Heads, Mumps, Blondie, Sonic Youth and more.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got two women whose singing styles are similar in that they're both absolutely singular, unmistakable, and wonderfully out of step—just don't call it spoken-word. It's Florence Shaw of Dry Cleaning and Sue Tompkins of Life Without Buildings. As you'll hear in this chat, Dry Cleaning sort of fell together in London around 2017, when the three instrumentalists approached their friend Florence Shaw to add some vocals to the music they had been writing. It turned out that Shaw's approach—speaking dense, clearly crafted but never obvious words—slotted in perfectly with the sort of nervous-yet-precise songs they had been working on. By 2020, Dry Cleaning had signed with the venerated 4AD label and the next year released a debut album, New Long Leg, that earned comparisons to post-punk greats like Siouxsie and Sonic Youth. For their third studio album, Secret Love, Dry Cleaning worked with producer-slash-musician Cate Le Bon, and they stretched out a bit, mellowing the sharp corners a bit while Shaw experiments more with vocal melody than before. Check out “Cruise Ship Designer” from Secret Love right here. Another person that eagle-eared listeners have compared Florence Shaw to is Sue Tompkins of the legendary, kinda-lost Scottish band Life Without Buildings. Life Without Buildings only released one album, Any Other City, in their brief three-year run, but it had a focused impact. Shaw remembers hearing the record as a teen. “It blew my mind that you could free yourself from the pressure of making traditional sense in lyrics,” she told the website Hearing Things, before mentioning that she'd love to meet Tompkins one day and thank her. Well, with some recent activity on the Life Without Buildings front—Tompkins contributed vocals to a new Sleaford Mods song, and the band just announced a couple of reunion shows—it seemed like the perfect time to get them together. In this delightful chat, Tompkins and Shaw talk about the similar origins of their respective bands, how genuinely kind the dudes of Sleaford Mods are, and their understandable reticence about the term “spoken word.” They also chatted a bunch about the TV shows Dragons' Den and Eastenders, but we had to trim that in the interest of time. Trust me, it was great. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Sue Tompkins and Florence Shaw for chatting.

The Sonic Youth cofounder opens up about her solo output, the intersection of art and music, and her new album, PLAY ME. For over four decades, Kim Gordon has navigated the edges where fine art meets noise. Her claim to fame was as a founding member of Sonic Youth, the band that took the nihilistic, abrasive energy of New York's no wave scene and forged it into a new language for rock. After Sonic Youth's public breakup in 2011, Gordon returned to her original creative practice: visual art. But in recent years, she has undergone a staggering creative transformation that's led her back to music. At 72—an age when most legends are content with the heritage circuit—she has instead dived headlong into the sounds of the present: industrial electronics, Chicago footwork and the blown-out low-end of SoundCloud rap. Aiming to break with her Sonic Youth legacy, Gordon released her first two solo albums, No Home Record and The Collective, in 2019 and 2024, respectively. And now, she's back with her third LP: PLAY ME. Working alongside producer Justin Raisen, she uses beat-oriented frameworks to interrogate what she calls the "tyranny of frictionless culture." From naming Spotify playlists in her lyrics to donating proceeds to reproductive rights, her work remains a vital, confrontational critique of late capitalism and technocratic fascism. In this RA Exchange, Gordon discusses the process of moving closer to solo work, as well as the masculinity of rock; her evolving relationship with electronic music; the politics of the "body;" and why, after thinking she was done with music, she keeps getting pulled back in. Listen to the episode in full.

In which The Curmudgeons revisit the goofy yet ambitious and thrillingly original dawn of grunge music. Unbeknownst to some, the story of what became the dominant mainstream brand of rock 'n' roll in the 1990s dates back to 1984, back when the Seattle area was cold, rainy, gloomy and also a sleepy outpost that was surprisingly actually skipped by major artists of the time. So what you do you when no one's really watching and there isn't a whole lot to do? You mess around wiht your friends and bond over a love for 1970s classic rock, punk, metal, prog rock and other various forms of guitar-driven rock. And you started bands and shared ideas and worked to one up another in finding a way to meld all you loves into one sonic package. And that's exactly what the innovators of grunge did: found a sweet spot in between the fury of punk on the one hand and the grandeur and theatricality of metal on the other. Here. we discuss the first wave of bands that figuratively--and literally-put grunge on the map. We cover Green River, the Melvins, Soundgarden and more...

Fully & Completely: ReduxEpisode 6 — Trouble at the Henhouse (1996)In this episode of Fully & Completely: Redux, we land in 1996 and crack open Trouble at the Henhouse — one of the most misunderstood, emotionally loaded, and quietly radical albums in the catalogue of The Tragically Hip.What should have been a victory-lap record turns into something stranger and braver: stripped-back, red-toned, reflective, and full of songs that don't explain themselves — they linger. This is the sound of a band surviving the 90s, refusing to coast, and accidentally making one of the era's most enduring records.Hosts jD and Greg LeGros dig into the album track by track, placing it inside the cultural hangover of the mid-90s: the end of high school, the death of grunge's innocence, shifting radio formats, CanCon realities, and the moment when everything felt like it was changing — whether you were ready or not.What We Talk AboutWhy Trouble at the Henhouse feels like the hangover to Day for NightThe opening five-song run (Gift Shop → Flamenco) as one of the strongest stretches in the Hip's careerRobbie Baker's guitar finally stepping out of the shadowsThe sequencing controversy (yes, we're talking 700 Foot Ceiling and Butts Wiggling)“Ahead by a Century” as a once-in-a-generation song — and why it had to be the oneGord Downie's writing shift: misdirection, restraint, and devastating clarityDon't Wake Daddy as the emotional centre of the record (and the 90s)Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, Eric's Trip, and the ghosts living between the groovesWhy this album was divisive then — and why it's essential nowStandout MomentsThe bleed from Gift Shop into Springtime in Vienna as a mission statementThe Kurt Cobain reference that somehow lands with graceFlamenco as both comfort and confrontationSherpa as pure atmosphere — the quiet psychedelic cousin of Day for NightPut It Off as an ending that feels like everything slowly going darkWhy This Album Still HitsTrouble at the Henhouse isn't flashy. It doesn't chase hits. It doesn't hold your hand.It sits with you.This episode makes the case that the record's power lies in its restraint, its refusal to repeat past triumphs, and its willingness to capture a moment when music — and life — felt heavier, stranger, and more complicated.Red instead of blue.Morning instead of night.The hangover instead of the party.Listen & Follow

"With the perfect mix of melody, aggression, and energy, Portland, Oregon's FeverSleep land somewhere between the worlds of punk and grunge–if genres are your thing. But, this is no rehash of a bygone era. These well-seasoned musicians pull from a diverse array of influences to create something fresh but just familiar enough to feel like you're welcoming an old friend. Consisting of former members of Young Livers, Dikembe, and Lock and Key, FeverSleep's debut self-titled EP is characterized by its ferocious thrum of overdriven bass, prowling riffs, and soaring melodies rounded out with a touch of melancholy. Imagine a more melodic Helmet or a more aggressive Sonic Youth, buoyed throughout by a driving wall of noise and haunting choruses reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr. and Constantines. Finally, they throw in some DC-influenced energy and vigor for good measure." Thanks for listening!!!

Welcome to Part 2 of the second annual Seeing Them Live Year End Concert Review show, where a panel of returning guests share their favorite live music experiences from 2025. Host Charles brings together an eclectic group of music enthusiasts including Andy, Jessica, Steve, and superfan Dawn Fontaine to discuss the most memorable live music experiences of 2025.Dawn shares highlights from her incredible 55-show year, including intimate performances by New York punk bands The Lousekateers and Typhoid Rosie at JJ's Tavern in Florence, Massachusetts, and her milestone 50th Soraia show at Music Fest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The conversation takes an extraordinary turn when Dawn recounts her once-in-a-lifetime experience winning a contest in 2002 that put her on the Rolling Stones' private jet, where she met and chatted with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and the late Charlie Watts. The band even played her favorite song, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," at the Denver show the next night. Dawn also discusses her new role booking shows for Soraia, turning her passion for the band into a dream job that allows her to be part of their team.Steve brings the star power with his account of seeing Lady Gaga at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which he ranks in his top 10 concerts of all time despite not being a superfan. He describes the show as mind-blowing, with incredible choreography, costume changes, and an intimate piano performance of "Die With a Smile" that transformed the energy of the 18,000-person venue. Steve also highlights seeing St. Vincent at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, praising her guitar skills and stage presence influenced by David Byrne, as well as catching Joan Jett with Alanis Morissette and being amazed at how Joan's voice hasn't changed over the decades. His Vegas weekend also included the Psychedelic Furs at House of Blues and Adele at Caesars Palace, making for an unforgettable concert trip.Andy rounds out the episode with his diverse concert year, starting with the mesmerizing guitar work of Mdou Moctar at The Space and a spontaneous third-row experience seeing Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys at Hard Rock Gary.

Welcome to Episode 64 of This Is Not Happening. An Album of the Month podcast. In Part 1, we review and Album of the Month. This month Joey brings perhaps the most critically acclaimed album of 2025, Rosalia's 'LUX'.In Part 2, we play Spin It or Bin It, we pick a theme and all pick songs that represent that theme. As it's January and everybody is back in the gym or re-starting running program's we've picked 'songs to get injured to'._______________________Part 1 | Album of the Month | Rosalia | LUX________________________This is a big one. Big in many ways. Massively popular, globally. But more importantly MASSIVE in scope, scale and ambition. Rosalia's 4th album takes a major turn from the reggaeton, digital urgency of Motomami. This a symphonic, spiritual, complex and challenging collection of songs presented in 4 movements (if you're on vinyl). It requires you to focus, engage and consume with purpose.It's undeniable that it is ambitious, its brilliance is clear ... but will any of us actually like it? Does it make you want to listen to it? Are you drawn to come back to it?Listen to the album here.Watch some of the videos for the tracks here.Check out the Zane Lowe interview with Rosalia here.___________________Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | Songs To Get Injured To _____________________New Year New Me. The gyms are packed. People are begging to get injured. What should you chose as your soundtrack to that achilles rupture or that rotator cuff tear? The answer is probably in this 16 track play list that we created.We each pick 4 tracks for the playlist and submit 1 track and ask the simple question 'Spin It Or Bin It'?Joey chose 'Baddadan' by Chase & Status et al.Guy chose 'Go' by Chemical Brothers.David chose 'Kool Thing' by Sonic Youth.Nolan chose 'Stop What You're Doing' by Apathy.We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

Welcome to an Encore Presentation of one of my favorite episodes ever of Revolutions Per Movie, where I got to discuss the documentary Desolation Center with the creators of these legendary events (who else would put the Minutemen on a barge or Einsturzende Neubauten in the desert). Plus, I love it whenever I get to surprise my guests with more guests to create the whole picture from the inside out. Enjoy!(Episode 33 originally aired on April 25th, 2024).The original show notes:This week, we talk to Stuart Swezey & Bruce Licher, who produced and worked on the Desolation Center series of shows that took bands like minutemen, Swans, Redd Kross, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and Einsturzende Neubauten and put them in locations such as the Mojave Desert as a reaction to the omnipresent police violence against punk rock kids. We talked about the Desolation Center documentary that Swezey directed, the iconic visuals that Licher created for the events, having the legendary artist Chris Burden as your teacher, the healing power of Throbbing Gristle, how to source school buses to take punk rockers to the desert, fake ids, Savage Republic, Glenn Branca and the No New York LP, Redd Kross getting lost in the desert, violence coming from rednecks, the notion of selling out and not repeating oneself, the impact of D. Boon on the scene, Survival Research Laboratories, Lydia Lunch, being naive, Action News, the eventual change in the 80s music underground, psychedelics, early punk clubs like The Masque and Brave Dog, NEA grants for industrial noise music events, and we're also joined by surprise guests, ML Compton and Skip King who are featured in the documentary and describe what it was like being a passenger into the unknown.So party with me punker, as we head into the desert at night on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.DESOLATION CENTER:www.desolationcenter.com/STUART SWEZEY:www.amokbooks.com/SAVAGE REPUBLIC: www.independentprojectrecords.com/savage-republicREVOLUTIONS 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.

Things are gonna get LOUD! This week, we turn the amps up to 11 and put the effects pedals on stun as we celebrate Noise Rock. What exactly is "noise rock" though?? At its simplest definition, it's rock music that emphasizes noise - distortion, feedback, dissonance, abrasion. But as a subgenre, it only takes a cursory look through internet music forums to see how easily these things can digress into petty arguments about what is or is not noise rock. Commonly perceived as precursors to noise rock would be various ‘60s psych bands like 13th Floor Elevators and the ubiquitous Velvet Underground, free jazz, and early experimental music where traditional instruments were manipulated to sound like anything but traditional instruments. In the punk era, the natural outgrowth were things like the no wave scene that was happening in New York and British bands like The Fall, Swell Maps, and This Heat. From there, throughout the ‘80s, ‘90s and beyond, the term was synonymous with bands like Sonic Youth, Big Black, Swans, the Jesus Lizard, and any number of bands in which Steve Albini had a hand in some way. Joining us to wade through the mud is a New York based band whose members had a hand in shaping our perception of noise rock. The Whimbrels have just released their self titled debut album on Dromedary Records, and it's an astounding, ambitious and riff-laden affair that has plenty of noise, but also a lot of dynamics and deceptively accessible moments. Guitarist/Vocalist/Songwriter Arad Evans was associated with Glenn Branca's ensemble from the 1980's until Branca's 2018 death, as well as his band Heroes of Toolik and scores of others. Bassist/Vocalist/Songwriter Matt Hunter co-founded the great ‘90s/2000's cult favorites New Radiant Storm King and has played with a ton of other notables such as J. Mascis, King Missile, and Silver Jews. Thanks to Howard Wuelfing from Howlin' Wuelf Media for the introduction and coordination! Proud members of the Pantheon Podcasts family.

Fully & Completely: ReduxEpisode 102 — Up To Here (1989)A presentation of The Tragically Hip Podcast SeriesHosted by jD and Greg LeGrosIf Episode 101 was the band trying to get hired, Up To Here is the band showing up like: we're already the headliners, you just don't know it yet.Released in September 1989, The Tragically Hip's first full-length LP is the moment where the sweat and swagger of the EP turns into something sturdier — a vibe, a sound, an identity. This is the record that made the country start paying attention in a different way. Not “hey, that bar band is pretty good,” but “oh… this is our band.”We set the scene: Mulroney still running the country, the first Grey Cup at the SkyDome (and yes, the Rough Riders/Roughriders nonsense is as chaotic as it sounds), and a pop-heavy musical world where Repeat Offender, Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul, and even Dr. Feelgood are moving units like it's a national sport. Meanwhile, the underground is brewing — Sonic Youth, the weirdos starting to kick the door open — and out of Kingston comes this bluesy, barroom, don't-overthink-it-just-turn-it-up record that somehow becomes a diamond-certified Canadian classic.We talk about why Up To Here connects with everybody — the Queens Pub crowd, the farm-town beer crowd, the “I only know four Hip songs but I know them perfectly” crowd — and how certain tracks became bigger than the band itself. There's a whole New Orleans is Sinking tangent involving Crown Royal, Lake Ontario, and one of the most wholesome cross-cultural Canadian moments imaginable.This album is loaded. Side A is basically a greatest hits package. But we also dig into the deeper stuff: the early emergence of Gord's strange, slippery cadence; the way the band's confidence jumps from the EP to this like it got shot out of a cannon; and the idea that every Hip album has at least one track that quietly points at what comes next.Up To Here is where the lesson plan gets real.In This EpisodeThe cultural and musical landscape of 1989 (Mulroney, pop domination, the underground brewing)Why Up To Here hit everywhere in Canada — bars, cottages, dorms, and car stereosThe leap in identity from the EP to a full-on signature sound“New Orleans is Sinking” as a national anthem (and as a live-performance launchpad)Gord Downie's early “how-the-hell-do-you-sing-that” cadence taking shape (“38 Years Old”)The record's “top-heavy” track sequencing — and why it worksDeep-cut advocacy hour: “Every Time You Go” gets its flowersThe “DNA track” theory: one song per album that hints at the next recordListener callout: What's your Up To Here moment?Album DiscussedUp To Here (1989)Produced by Don SmithA barroom-recorded, road-tested, diamond-certified cornerstone.Time Capsule TracksjD's pick: 38 Years OldGreg's pick: OpiatedWhat's NextNext week, we keep moving — and you can already feel the band getting sharper, stranger, and more themselves. The evolution is in motion.Listen & SubscribeFully & Completely: Redux is available wherever you get your podcasts.
My guest this week is graphic novelist/artist/musician Leela Corman (Victory Parade, Unterzakhn), who chose to discuss the 1980 midnight movie classic Forbidden Zone.We also talk about how Leela creates her long-form graphic novels, the difficulties and joys of making her masterwork Victory Parade, how Einstürzende Neubauten's album Lament helped her create her art, how watercolor is the noise guitar of paints, Leela's use of Busby Berkeley imagery, growing up in the 80s surrounded by transgressive art, Sonic Youth & Big Black, Raw Magazine, Lisa Suckdog, Forced Exposure, RE/SEARCH, how divisive the Forbidden Zone film can be, director Richard Elfman and his creation of The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo troupe (later taken over by his brother, Danny Elfman), how we each discovered the film, how Leela puts a line from Forbidden Zone into every one of her books, Night Flight, the acting of Hervé Villechaize and Susan Tyrrell in the film, how the film spoke to Leela because of its use of Yiddish and ‘Yinglish', how Richard Elfman went broke making the film, its incredible musical sequences, Josephine Baker, Leela working with The Mountain Goats, the legendary performance art of The Kipper Kids in the film, midnight movies and so much more!So let's jump into the mouth in the wall and ride through the intestine on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!Leela Corman:http://www.leelacorman.com/Forbidden Zone:https://richardelfman.com/films/REVOLUTIONS 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.

For this episode we're joined by Sonic Youth legend Thurston Moore to discuss his new book Now Jazz Now: 100 Essential Free Jazz and Improvisation Recordings, 1960-80. We start by recapping on the story our guest told in his acclaimed 2023 memoir Sonic Life. In the course of the conversation about his early musical life in Florida and Connecticut we hear a clip from Steve Roeser's 1994 audio interview with him. Discussion of early influences such as the Stooges takes us back to Thurston's stint in the late J.D. King's New York band the Coachmen – and then on to Sonic Youth itself. Our guest's friendship with neo-gonzoid scribe Byron Coley – a brilliant guest on our podcast last summer – takes us up to the present and the publication of Now Jazz Now. A general conversation on the subjects of "free jazz" and "improv" ensues, taking in clips from Thurston's pal David Toop's 1995 audio interview with the late Derek Bailey. After Mark has quoted from newly-added library pieces about Bill Evans (1972) and OMD (1984), Jasper talks us out with his thoughts on James Brown's 1994 loaded encounter with the Beastie Boys. Many thanks to special guest Thurston Moore. Now Jazz Now is published by Ecstatic Peace Library and available from ecstaticpeace.net/now-jazz-now. Pieces discussed: Sonic Youth, Sonic Youth And the Blast First Axis, Derek Bailey audio, Cecil Taylor: Ladies and gentlemen, please adjust your re-entry goggles, David Toop: Gorilla Noises & Mains Hum, Bill Evans: Living Time With Evans, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark: OMD and The Beastie Boys: Still Ill.

New York has always been – bold statement coming up – my favourite music city. No question that it's connected to my life changing discovery of the Ramones way back when. I still can't walk past the Guild Hall in my hometown of Preston without a couple of nostalgic tears forming for when I first saw them play there – I tried my best not to wash off the water that Joey threw over me when things were getting a little hot. But getting back on track… all those New York musicians over the years – infinitely different stylistically, but almost always identifiable as a New York “sound”. I don't know what it is – and hindsight's a glorious thing to have – but could the Ramones, Blondie, Public Enemy, Roxanne Shante, Lou Reed, Talking Heads, Swans, Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nas, have existed anywhere else and created their own distinctive sound yet is still a New York sound? Jesse Hartman's, Laptop, goes back to the late 90's – such a divisive decade. I really feel Laptop were ahead of their time and this is perhaps part of what makes New York New York – that ability to be ahead of the pack so often . They had the cinematic monologues, the rebellion, the self deprecation, the love, the heartbreak, the nostalgia and an ability to cross generations. I say that because I'm 20-odd years older and their second coming is here and I'm still hooked.https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.

The '90s were a strange time. From Gregorian chants to swing bands, you never knew what would make it onto the radio. But some of the strangest groups to improbably infiltrate the mainstream came from the post-Grateful Dead jam band scene. Our guest today is Mike Ayers, author of Sharing in the Groove: The Untold Story of the '90s Jam Band Explosion and the Scene that Followed. The book, an oral history, is really a blast. It covers all the big players of the era: Phish, Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, but Ayers takes it to the next level by expanding the definition of "jam band" to include Medeski, Martin and Wood, Greyboy and the acid jazz scene, New Orleans funk band Galactic, and John Zorn and the Knitting Factory downtown NYC scene, and much more. This episode, guest host (and Transmissions audio editor) Andrew Horton, Jason P. Woodbury, and Ayers sit down to hash out the era in which even Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo embraced their jammiest free improv tendencies. What are the limits of the whole "jam band" thing really? Come along with us as we dig into Sharing in the Groove. Transmissions is created in partnership with the Talkhouse Podcast Network.

That's just absolutely not true. We had slavery in this country. Women couldn't vote until 1920. Homosexuality, you could still go to jail up until the 60s for it. The AIDS epidemic during the Reagan period. Not to mention human history, the Crusades, and the Holocaust. There have been many, many dreadful times.'” – Danny GoldbergSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
