We're coming dangerously close to the end of the road for this latest season of Neil Young deep dives. And the end of the road is the topic at hand when it comes to today's song — “Berlin.” Now, we've covered some deep cuts over the course of the past two seasons. But “Berlin” has to be one of the deepest. It was passed over on the recent Archives Vol. III box and you can't even stream it via Neil's site; the only official way to experience this moody tune is to watch In Berlin, the concert film that captures the last performance of the semi-chaotic Trans tour of Europe in 1982. With its doomy synths, piercing guitar, tortured vocals and synthetic handclaps, “Berlin” provides a fascinating glimpse of this short-lived band, which featured a grab-bag, rag-tag bunch of players from Neil's past, all grappling with a new decade and new sounds. In Berlin itself is an amazing document, highlighted by Neil and Nils Lofgren performing bizarro dances and duets on such Vocoder-laced tracks as “Transformer Man” and “Sample and Hold.” You gotta see it to believe it.  Here to talk about “Berlin” with us today is someone we've been fans of for a long time now—the mighty Matt Valentine. MV has been making beautiful noise for over three decades now, from Tower Recordings to MV & EE (with his partner Erika Elder) to various solo excursions and collabs. For the past decade, Matt's primary focus has been Wet Tuna, which also features Erika and bassist Jim Bliss. The latest Tuna LP is called Vast — and you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a better title for this collection of strange and funky flights. Released on the venerable Three Lobed label, it's a wide-open, far-flung album, deeply textured and ridiculously detailed, but somehow spacious and inviting. A psychedelic micro-galaxy/macro-dose that teems with life and imagination. You gotta hear it to believe it.  You also gotta hear the recent Wet Tuna Lagniappe Session, which was posted up over on Aquarium Drunkard earlier this spring. One of its many highlights is an inspired medley of “Cortez the Killer” and Sonic Youth's “Providence” that lasts close to 30 minutes. It's outrageous. 

Kalamazoo noise rock duo Bronson Arm — Blake Bickel (baritone guitar/vocals) and Garrett Yates (drums) — stop by the studio in Appleton, Wisconsin for a wide-ranging conversation on Fox Cities Core, the weekly live interview show on WCZR Code Zero Radio, hosted by Andy McNamara. The band is on the road supporting their latest album Casket Schwagg (Learning Curve Records).In this interview, Blake and Garrett break down how two guys from opposite coasts ended up forming a powerhouse two-piece in Kalamazoo — meeting through their kids' school and a chance conversation at a brewery. Garrett opens up about a decade-long drumming hiatus while serving in the Navy on submarines, and how Blake immediately knew something special was there within the first 30 seconds of Garrett sitting back behind a kit. Blake reflects on his previous band The Great Goddamn in Seattle, his background in audio engineering and pedal-building, and his BFA in visual arts — which directly informs Bronson Arm's creative, concept-driven music videos.The conversation covers recording their self-titled debut in Blake's basement during COVID lockdown, the meaning behind the album title Casket Schwagg, their prolific music video output (including a burning couch, a karaoke dive bar, and a darker disclaimer-worthy clip), touring logistics as a DIY two-piece, playing to a click track live, and plans to take their sound to new territory on the next record. Plus — they're headed to Fest in Florida with 350 bands.Stick around for Ryan Fluke joining as a surprise co-host, comparisons to White Stripes, Black Keys, Sonic Youth, and Rage Against the Machine, and Blake revealing the KARP lyric behind the band name.Follow Bronson Arm:Website: bronsonarm.comInstagram: instagram.com/bronson_arm_noiseFacebook: facebook.com/bronsonarm.noise

bob Bert in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://therealbobbert.bandcamp.com/album/beach-bongo-bloodbath Many music gourmandizers know the name “Bob Bert” from his stint as drummer for Sonic Youth in their formative years. He also beat car gas tanks for Pussy Galore. In the years since, Bob has recorded albums and toured the world with Bewitched, Action Swingers, Chrome Cranks, Knoxville Girls, Five Dollar Priest, and in more recent times Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, coming full circle playing metal percussion with fellow Pussy Galore alumnus Jon Spencer in his HITmakers.  With Beach Bongo Bloodbath Bob finally steps out under his own name with his first true solo album. For this outing he mixes original material with extensive re-workings of a number of covers to create a veritable soundtrack for the B-movie of his life.  Surprisingly for a guy who has slammed away for some very noisy guitar outfits, this album has absolutely NO guitars; once you hear his beat-centric take on Mountain's "Mississippi Queen," you will never hear that song the same way again. Bob creates a new world of sound utilizing a variety of drums and percussion as well as a diverse array of keyboards and theremin. The results suggest Sandy Nelson playing with the Flying Lizards on their greatest hits collection of Kraut Rock influenced Cramps covers!  The six originals and eight covers play to his love of campy teenage horror flicks, art damaged punk fuk-u-ness and Warholian underground groover vibes. In fact, let's cue up some tracks from the album to help tell the Bob Bert story.

Genre Is Death, a limitation-destroying noise band formed by Ty Varesi (guitar, vox) and Tayler Lee (bass, vox), release their debut album, Attractive People out May 1 2026 on In The Red Records.  Their sound is abrasive yet melodic, using heavy distortion, dissonant riffs, and reverberating vocals to create music that feels both minimal and overwhelming. Their newest record Attractive People, recorded by legendary sound producer Martin Bisi, prods and pushes its listener with tongue in cheek lyrics that accuse and indict their audience, cacophonous guitar shrieks of power and madness, and bass lines that oscillate from funky to erratic dissonance. While comparisons to Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks are inevitable (and quite welcome), Genre is Death build's on NYC's legacy without repeating it… eschewing nostalgia and nihilism in favor of total sonic liberation.  The duo moved from the south to NYC in August of 2023 looking for something more than their mundane lifestyle of day drinking and playing doom metal in friends' basements… Their move to NYC, coupled with their desire to express something, anything, led to the inception of Genre is Death. The pair hit the ground running, playing anywhere and everywhere they could… However, it was only after a chance encounter with 80s noise forerunners Live Skull that the pair was introduced to the strange underbelly of NYC noise and began playing regular gigs with The Art Gray Noizz Quintet and Lydia Lunch. In 2025 the pair played toured with Gogol Bordello, embarked on their first East Coast tour, and played gigs with Cherubs, Bush Tetras, and Jon Spencer. The album is out now. Order a copy here.

Las editoriales apuestan por el volumen masivo para compensar riesgos y dar con los superventas, además los datos son tan llamativos como interesantes El mundo del libro esconde muchos elementos que suscitan interés, como la cantidad de dinero que gana un escritor, cuál es el precio de edición o la duda que todos tenemos sobre si en España se lee mucho o poco, o si los jóvenes ya no le dedican ninguna parte de su tiempo a la lectura. Y es que el sector editorial genera distintos mitos y, cuando alguien se pone a desmontar unos con otros, el resultado sorprende. Por eso, esta semana, en Economía Para Quedarte Sin Amigos, contamos con Roger Domingo, director editorial de Deusto, Alienta y Gestión 2000, para hablar de la economía del libro desde dentro. Roger Domingo desmonta el titular que más ruido ha hecho últimamente: que la mitad de los libros publicados en España no venden ni un ejemplar. Una afirmación que parte de una mala interpretación de los datos y que, como explica, choca frontalmente con el sentido común. En España se piden cada año unos 90.000 ISBN, pero lo que entendemos por libros —los que se encuentran en una librería— son unos 25.000. ¿Son demasiados? Es una pregunta legítima, pero tiene un sentido. Aun así, los índices de lectura siguen por debajo de la media europea. Pero la razón es sencilla: publicar es apostar. Ningún editor sabe de antemano qué libro se va a disparar las ventas o se convertirá en un éxito comercial, y por eso se publica más de lo que el mercado puede absorber, con la esperanza de que unos pocos títulos financien al resto.Música Esta semana, el protagonista de nuestra selección musical es el grupo de rock alternativo estadounidense Sonic Youth. Y estos son los temas que hemos escuchado: "Incinerate" "Kool Thing" "Bull in the Heather" "100"

How does one Jam Econo? Baxie talks to the legendary Mike Watt! Since forming The Minutemen with the late D. Boon in 1980 Mike Watt has become one of the busiest and most respected bass players ever. He's repeatedly been listed as one of the all-time greats by the NME, The LA Weekly, and Bass Player Magazine (who awarded him their lifetime achievement award in 2008.) Watt has played with The Stooges, fIREHOSE, members of Sonic Youth, Eddie Vedder, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl from Nirvana, Flea, the Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction, and literally dozens and dozens more. Watt talks about all of that, the “movement”, and “We Jam Econo”. This is a truly WILD interview, and I can't wait to have him back on!

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with guitarist and composer Bob Lanzetti, best known as one of the founding members of Snarky Puppy. I've admired Bob's playing for a long time, so getting the chance to talk with him felt especially meaningful. We begin with something many musicians quietly carry with them: the fear of hand issues and how that concern evolves over the course of a career. Bob reflects honestly on how he thinks about it now compared to earlier years.From there, we rewind to the beginning—growing up around his dad's guitar, discovering The Beatles, and the simple invitation that changed everything: “Learn this song and you can sit in with my band.” That moment set Bob firmly on the path toward becoming a guitarist. He traces his journey through early mentors, jazz studies, and eventually to the University of North Texas, where he found a musical community that would change his life—and where Snarky Puppy first came together.We spend time talking about the musical ecosystem around North Texas as well, especially the gospel and R&B scenes that shaped Bob's ear in ways the classroom couldn't. Bob shares how Snarky Puppy actually learns and rehearses music—often through oral tradition, demos, and Logic sessions—and how the band's three-guitar setup works without stepping on each other's sonic space. Along the way, he reflects on something younger musicians often overlook: the importance of restraint, listening, and self-balancing within a band.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on Bob's Nosferatu project, where he composed and performed an original score for the classic silent film during the COVID years. That project opened the door to exploring 20th-century classical textures, string writing, layered guitars, and production techniques. We wrap up by talking about the wide range of influences that shape Bob's music—from Charlie Christian and Jim Hall to Sonic Youth and Derek Bailey—and what's ahead in 2026, including GroundUP Festival, touring with Snarky Puppy alongside the Metropole Orchestra, his trio work, and the growing role of producing in his creative life.Key TakeawaysMusicians confront physical concerns over time — long careers require resilience and perspective.Early invitations can shape a life path — a simple opportunity to sit in with a band set Bob on the guitar journey.Community matters — the University of North Texas and the surrounding Dallas scene were foundational for Snarky Puppy.Listening and restraint define great band playing — especially in complex ensemble settings like a three-guitar lineup.Musical learning often happens by ear — oral tradition and demos play a huge role in how bands develop material.Creative side projects expand the palette — Bob's Nosferatu score opened the door to new textures and production ideas.Producing can become another creative outlet — shaping the sound of recordings scratches the same itch as performing.Music from the EpisodeB - Bob LanzettiAnonymous - Bob LanzettiThe Seven Deadly Sins (from Nosferatu) - Bob LanzettiJenny is a Donkey - Bob LanzettiAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

Danny Goldberg has a career that reminds us of why we wanted to be a part of the music business. His career started at Billboard, where he convinced the higher-ups he needed to go to the Woodstock Music Festival. He did PR for Led Zeppelin, managed the careers of Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, Sonic Youth, the Allman Brothers Band, and Nirvana. In the 90s, he headed three different record labels: Atlantic, Mercury and Warner Bros. He ran his own independent label, Artemis, and since 2010, he's focused his attention on his management company, Gold Village.  Danny joins the podcast to share how he helped his artists reach such incredible heights, and also to discuss the reissue of his sixth book, Bumping Into Geniuses: My Life Inside Rock 'N' Roll.

Melissa Auf der Maur's new memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A '90s Rock Memoir(DaCapo, 2026) is a remarkably open-hearted, clear-eyed memoir of the '90s Alternative era by the bassist of Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins Even the Good Girls Will Cry begins with Auf der Maur's bohemian upbringing in Montreal, where her early, deep connection to art and music gave her entry to the colorful and thriving local creative scene. Working as a cassette DJ and ticket girl, she would see (and sometimes meet) the luminaries who'd pass through town--Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Pavement, Sonic Youth. Thanks to a thrown beer bottle and a long-shot fan letter to a PO Box, her band Tinker scored a life-changing opening slot for The Smashing Pumpkins and, sensing her natural talent on bass, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love, just one of the many uncanny threads that weaves destiny throughout this riveting memoir. Whisked from her local scene and thrust into the eye of a hurricane of grief on a global stage, Melissa joined Hole for the band's 1994 Live Through This world tour just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with Courtney Love at the center of it all. It was a tour of passionate intensity, as a chaotic yet stunningly powerful band constantly threatened to spin out of control. Melissa brings the reader with raging intimacy into the action, offering a heroic portrait of the unforgettable Courtney Love as she howled into the darkness as if to keep grief at bay. That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock. Part rock memoir, part travel diary, part psychedelic scrapbook, Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a behind-the-scenes rock 'n' roll memoir with a soulful intimacy and mystic undertone that sets it apart from memoirs by her peers. It is a vivid dispatch from the last analog decade, artistically capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory. Learn more about your ad choices.

Along the way they talk about how grunge steamrolled hair metal, salute David Hudson and *State of Amorica*, and argue through what really belongs under the grunge umbrella.## Topics Covered- How grunge disrupted late-80s hair metal almost overnight- The Seattle scene, Sub Pop, and the anti-corporate identity of grunge- Why Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains became the center of the movement- The role of movie soundtracks and MTV in making grunge unavoidable- The gray area of “is this actually grunge?” with bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, and The Breeders- The emotional weight of Andrew Wood's legacy in songs by Temple of the Dog and Alice in Chains## Deep Dives- **Temple of the Dog – "Say Hello 2 Heaven"** as a tribute to Andrew Wood and a statement opening track- **Pearl Jam – "Jeremy"** as the era's defining music video juggernaut- **Alice in Chains – "Would?"** and the *Singles* soundtrack as central grunge artifacts- **Soundgarden – "Outshined"** in *True Romance* and the wider movie-soundtrack moment- The case for outliers and neighboring acts like The Breeders' "Cannonball" and Stone Temple Pilots' "Plush"- **Nirvana – "Rape Me"** and the band's role in making the whole grunge explosion possible in the first place## Fun Facts & Highlights- The episode quickly escalates into a George Costanza-style block-of-cheese visual.- Steve realizes he no longer owns any flannel shirts, which leads to the instant fake-band name **Final Flannel**.- There's a heartfelt shoutout to David Hudson and Ian Rice of *State of Amorica*, with David's exit from the mic helping inspire the episode.- The guys keep circling back to the same glorious grunge question: was the music the revolution, or was it also the look, the attitude, and the backlash to purple sequined jackets?- Andrew Wood's shadow hangs over the episode in a meaningful way, with multiple songs tied back to him.## Referenced Artists, Songs & Content- Temple of the Dog- Pearl Jam- Alice in Chains- Soundgarden- Nirvana- Stone Temple Pilots- The Breeders- Sonic Youth- Smashing Pumpkins- Mudhoney- Screaming Trees- Mother Love Bone- Chris Cornell- Eddie Vedder- Kurt Cobain- Andrew Wood- "Say Hello 2 Heaven"- "Jeremy"- "Would?"- "Outshined"- "Cannonball"- "Plush"- "Rape Me"- "Smells Like Teen Spirit"- "Hunger Strike"- *Singles*- *True Romance*- *State of Amorica*## Episode TakeawayGrunge wasn't just a sound—it was a correction, a mood, a look, and a cultural hard left turn. This episode works because Steve and Wyndham don't just list songs; they capture why this music felt like a detonation when it arrived.One idea.  Six songs.  Infinite possibilities...

Kim Gordon trägt den Legendenstatus nicht nur dank ihrer Zeit bei Sonic Youth. Die New Yorkerin macht Kunst, Musik und Fashion; sie ist Autorin, Designerin und Schauspielerin. Kim Gordon gehört zum Inventar der alternativen Kultur und beweist das auf «Play Me» einmal mehr.

Kim Gordon—artist, musician, writer, and co-founder of the iconic rock band Sonic Youth—is one of the most restlessly creative figures in American culture. Over the past four decades moved between mediums with an ease that few can achieve. She published her memoir Girl in a Band in 2015 to wide acclaim. Her visual work has been shown at institutions including the Andy Warhol Museum, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, and the Busan Biennale. Her 2024 solo album The Collective, a record built on trap beats and with sharp cultural commentary, earned her two Grammy nominations, a career first. But Gordon was always an artist first. Now, she is the subject of two concurrent exhibitions now open at Amant, the Brooklyn-based arts organization. The first is her solo survey "Count Your Chickens," which brings together painting, ceramics, film, and readymades spanning nearly 20 years of work. The second is "Folded Group," a group show she co-curated with Bill Nace, her collaborator in the experimental guitar duo Body/Head, featuring 19 artists and artist-musicians many of whom, like Gordon, have never accepted the boundary between making art and making music. Her third solo album, Play Me, is out on March 13. In her conversation with senior editor Kate Brown, Gordon discusses her visual practice, her relationship to the art world and the music world, and what these two universes share and where they diverge. She reflects on album art as a curatorial act, on how the internet has transformed what it means to make and disseminate work, and on what it has meant to spend a career resisting every category people tried to put her in.

This week, we promote awareness of “Shoe The World Day – March 15” by visiting a long-forgotten genre that emerged in the late 80s – early 90s. A genre that exploited obscured vocals, guitar distortion, effects, feedback, and overwhelming volume: SHOEGAZE. In part 1, we focused mostly on bands from the UK, but in part 2, we are exploring bands from other parts of the world. These bands use the artistry of guitar innovation to paint some wonderfully layered sonic canvases! If you have a preconceived notion that you don't like this stuff, we ask that you give this episode a shot, as you might be surprised how much it rocks… What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or grouping of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. If you were into this music when it came out back in the early 90s, chances are that you haven't revisited it in a while. Come along on this ride with us and spend the next 90 minutes staring at your feet! We hope we turn you on to something new! Songs this week include: Big Jesus – “Felt In Reverse” from Oneiric (2016) Band Of Susans – “Pearls Of Wisdom” from Veil (1993) Blackwater Holylight – “Bodies” from Not Here Not Gone (2026) Kent – “Lifesavers” from Isola (1998) Softcult – “16/25” from When A Flower Doesn't Grow (2026) Swirlies – “San Cristobal De Las Casas” from They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days In The Glittering World Of The Salons (1996) HUM – “Starts” from You'd Prefer An Astronaut (1995)   Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!:InObscuria Store Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/ Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/

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.
