“Reason To Live” Well, if your looking for the kings of the indie rock grand slam, it's a short list. But Lou Barlow is on it. The Ohio-born Barlow has Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, the folk Implosion and his solo career on his CV and that's only a partial list that doesn't include Sentridoh and Deep Wound. Yes, Lou Barlow has been a major part of major bands that were all groundbreaking and game changers in terms of sound, recording approach and aesthetic. He's been on legendary labels like SST, Homestead , Sub Pop, Merge and Domino and he's one of the most recognizable and adored indie rock dudes of all time. So yes, Barlow is a founding member of three groundbreaking indie rock outfits and his solo career has yielded several remarkable albums, including his fabulous new one Reason To Live. A songwriter of startling depth, introspection and pinpoint emotional accuracy, Lou Barlow is, to put it simply, one of the best we've got. Over the course of his career, he's collaborated with Mike Watt, Stephen Merritt, Dale Crover of the Melvins and Belgian musician Rudy Trouve' He's both vulnerable and brave his work redolent with intimacy, observational wisdom and longing. Reason To Live might very well be his best work yet. Managing to be both layered and spare, this album is filled with breezy acoustic numbers, rolling pop jangles and textured indie rock that's catchy, memorable and moving. In this conversation Lou talks to Alex about eating dinner with strangers, walking the financial tightrope, writing again with John Davis of The Folk Implosion and why it was so hard to ask J. Mascis for a drumbeat….

This podcast is a mirror of the story of human evolution, it is both varied and somewhat complex. Stephen and I get into the following; Should humans be following the diet trends of our ancestors? What does ancestral really mean? Did early humans persistence hunt? Or did they hunt more like wolves? ...and much more!
Stephin Merritt is no typical memoirist. In April, the Magnetic Fields singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist sat down with Pitchfork Senior Staff Writer Marc Hogan for a conversation in front of an audience at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Though the Magnetic Fields’ new album, 50 Song Memoir, consists of a song for each of the first 50 years of his life, Merritt isn’t a tell-all artist; in interviews, he has long been known for his acerbic reticence, often marked by lengthy pauses. Over the course of an hour, however, Merritt waxed wise and witty, reflecting on the nature of art, the challenges for a notoriously anti-autobiographical performer in finally telling his own life story, and the evolving meaning of the Magnetic Fields’ classic “The Book of Love.”
On today's episode I talk to musician Barbara Manning. Barbara is prolific songwriter originally from California, where she spent part of her childhood on a commune. While attending Chico State University in 1983, Manning played bass with the seminal jangle-pop band 28th Day, and since then she's recorded a number of albums under her own name and has played with and fronted a number of amazing bands including World of Pooh, SF Seals, The Go-Luckys!. She's collaborated with everyone from Jon Langford of The Mekons to The Magnetic Fields' Stephen Merritt, and her albums have been released by some of the best indie labels around including SubPop, K Records, Matador and Teenbeat.

Episode 6: Love In The Time Of Octopi And Cronenberg, Or: When Things Fall Apart, Can We Make A New Start? Not Likely. Greetings, creeps and weirdos! Welcome to the sixth episode of Horror Business, the podcast that would thrill Tom Atkins time and time again. This episode, in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Liam and Justin go against their better judgment and take a look at a couple of movies that exemplify the absolute dread that is the abomination of love gone absolutely wrong. The first film that is discussed in David Cronenberg’s The Brood. Focal to this conversation is Cronenberg’s fascination with the grotesque and it’s intrusion into every day life and his obsession with detailing the interaction of the internal and external. In this specific case, it is the repressed emotions of a woman who had been abused as a child manifesting themselves as monstrous children that she births and the proceeds to unleash upon those she has perceived as having wronged her. The possibility of this film serving as a vehicle for Cronenberg’s criticism of pharmaceuticals and “New Age” therapies that could end up doing more harm than good, as is the extremely personal nature of the film due to it reflecting Cronenberg’s own frustrations with his divorce. Cronenberg’s cold and clinical style of film is discussed, as is the possibility of misogynistic tendencies in his films. On a humorous note, the overt and dominating masculinity of Oliver Reed is discussed at length, and Liam vents about his anxieties involving 1970s America. Up next is the late Andrzej Zulawski’s Possession. Central to this conversation is the religious and mystical nature of the film, due to several of the characters constantly making references to God and the divine, and the possibility of there being no god. The possible demonic nature of the entity that is seducing Isabella Adjani’s character is likewise discussed. The nonsensical and apparently surreal nature is examined in an attempt to find some sort of meaning in the apparent chaos of the film. How the film treats the nature of romantic loss and jealousy is discussed at length, and the tragedy of a relationship falling apart is central to this discussion, central to which is Sam Neill’s descent into madness and his switch from the sympathetic character into a wholly unsympathetic character. Perhaps most interesting in the discussion of Possession is the role of politics in the film; while it is wrought with imagery of the Cold War (Sam Neill’s character is a spy of some sort and the actual Berlin Wall is seen in the background throughout much of the film) any actual political message is hard to discern. In other words, despite the heavy use of political imagery, the film remains a psychologically based horror film with some political imagery rather than a political film with horror overtones. Zulawski recently passed, but we recorded before this happened so we do not discuss it on the show. As always thanks to everyone and anyone who checked this episode out..

Ep. 145 - Doug Quint and Bryan Petroff from the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck return to the podcast this week. We talk to them about last week's podcast guest Stephen Merritt (from the Magnetic Fields), jerking off bulls, and some of the various easter eggs that can be found in their new cookbook "Big Gay Ice Cream: Saucy Stories & Frozen Treats". Plus Doug talks shit about "Zephyros Winds", the chamber quintet that replaced him without telling him shortly after the ice cream truck took off.
Ep. 144 - On this week's podcast Zach meets up with Stephen Merritt (and Sam Davol) from the Magnetic Fields at Doomie's, a vegan restaurant in Hollywood, CA. Over vegan fried chicken and ham and cheese croissants they talk about Stephin's friendship with Doug Quint from the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck, why he became Vegan, and how much better it's gotten over the years for touring musicians who don't eat meat (and he makes it clear it has nothing to do with the hummus.) Plus Stephin teaches us about the vomit fruit al, which is also one of the subjects of his new Scrabble inspired book of mnemonic poems, "101 Two Letter Words". We were warned that Stephin is a notoriously interesting interviewee and to be ready for awkward pauses. He didn't disappoint.
Stephen Merritt speaks about his work in the 64th Rochester-Finger Lakes Exhibition at the Memorial Art Gallery, July 14-September 8, 2013.
