Our Summer in the Cities tour rolls into Detroit, where factory smoke hangs over freeways, muscle cars idle outside strip‑mall studios, and the music feels as combustible as the city's history. Don and Dude drop the needle on two albums that channel Detroit's battle‑rap ferocity, auto‑plant grind, and dive‑bar chaos into raw, world‑shaking sound.The AlbumsEminem – The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)Eminem turns his Detroit battle‑rap roots into a major‑label pressure cooker, a dense, confrontational set about fame, family, and the fallout of turning dark humor into pop spectacle. Short skits, horror‑movie beats, and shifting personas blur the line between Marshall, Eminem, and Slim Shady, as he wrestles with celebrity, censorship, and his own worst impulses in rooms that feel as cramped and tense as a late‑night studio booth off 8 Mile.The Stooges – Raw Power (1973)Raw Power captures the Stooges as Detroit street‑corner nihilism collides with glam‑era flash, all squalling guitars, blown‑out mixes, and Iggy Pop yowling like a man trying to tear down the stage with his bare hands. Produced in London but rooted in Midwestern decay, the record plays like a barely controlled club gig where riffs, feedback, and self‑destruction fuse into the blueprint for punk, grunge, and every noisy band that ever tried to sound as dangerous as a burned‑out block at 3 a.m.Diggin' AlbumsJohnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds – Mutiny After Midnight (2026)Groove‑centered, genre‑blurring rock from Sturgill Simpson's alter‑ego project, fusing country, funk, disco, and psychedelic textures into a loose late‑night concept about tension, release, and bodies in motion under flickering bar‑room lights.Green Day – Dookie (1994)Punchy, hyper‑melodic pop‑punk where slacker anxiety, boredom, and relationship drama collide with chain‑smoked hooks and fast‑paced riffs, turning East Bay misfit energy into a generation‑defining alt‑rock sugar rush.Midland – Stages (2026)Modern honky‑tonk from a Texas trio steeped in 70s bar‑room twang, trading in steel‑guitar shimmer, road‑worn harmonies, and bittersweet odes to small‑town bars, busted romances, and long nights chasing neon‑lit memories.Interpol – This Mirror Weighs a Ton (2026)Moody, late‑period New York indie rock where interlocking guitars, woodwinds, and layered harmonies float through shadowy, skyscraper‑lit arrangements, stretching their sleek, brooding sound into more spacious, slow‑burning territory.Follow & SupportFollow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back.“Detroit isn't just a national treasure.

The sporting cup runneth over, with World Cup football, darts, Wimbledon, US Open golf, State of Origin Rugby League, netball finals and of course yet another round of our favourite - AFL. In the hotly contested Lenny's Fine Food Tipping Competition, Ken tipped the card in a form reversal to rival anything seen on a sporting field anywhere. This week there's plenty of sport to discuss and Finey even went to the theatre. Musically, it's families in the spotlight and you will be surprised to hear some of the names bandied about including The Hives, Greta Van Fleet, The DeFranco Family and Iggy and the Stooges. What the Family indeed. Thank your mother for the rabbits.

Episode 069: We're leaning into the double entendre for this milestone episode, exploring the number 69 in all its forms—from the historic reverberations of the year 1969 to the explicitly suggestive and the just plain cheeky. We kick things off with Bryan Adams' nostalgia-soaked anthem before diving headfirst into the industrial, apocalyptic crunch of Ministry. We then take a turn for the sultry with the iconic Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, pivot to the sharp, modern wit of Self Esteem, and drift into the haunting, electronic nostalgia of Boards of Canada. We close out the set by letting The Stooges raw-dog the airwaves with a track that reminds us exactly why 69 has always been a number worth getting dirty for. It's a six-track exploration of history, desire, and pure sonic friction. Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site

Ep 250 “A Cease and Desist in the In-Box” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost deconstructs a leaked compliance warning from the executive offices of "Mr. President Emperor USA." This bulletin satirizes corporate legal departments, exposing a passive-aggressive email from a minion named Marion who claims that neighborhood bicycle workshops are creating an "unprofitable vibe" for the arms industry. Inspired by the grounding, collaborative themes of Bullet Poof, this episode laughs at the boardroom's frantic attempts to suppress local solidarity and points us back to the true safety found in open, uncommodified community spaces.

Ep 249 “The Great Man Card Inflation Crisis” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost takes aim at the toxic marketing engine of Bush-Mastery Masculinity. This bulletin satirizes the corporate emergency of "Man Card" devaluation, exposing how the defense industry commodifies identity and targets consumer insecurities to sell high-capacity weapons. Inspired by the Melt Zone themes of Bullet Poof, this episode tears down the synthetic identity offered by corporate branding and points us back to the real strength found in collaborative, grassroots community spaces.

Welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault! Today, as we frustratingly say goodbye (for now) to Stephen Colbert on Late Night, I bring you the sweetest and most honest discussion from The Late Show With Stephen Colbert writer & performer, the legendary Brian Stack. Not only did we discuss his love and passion for Townes Van Zandt (whose documentary he chose to discuss), but he was also really open about his time at Late Night With Conan O'Brien and his transition to working on Colbert's show, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of late-night.Hope to see you again soon, Dr. Frankenstein's Monster!(Episode 104 originally aired on July 17th, 2025).This week, I am joined by one of the greatest late-night writers & performers of all time, BRIAN STACK (Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), who picked a beloved music documentary to discuss: Be Here To Love Me - A Film About Townes Van Zandt.We discuss the differences between working on Conan and Stephen's shows, the last-minute panic of doing a late night show, my experience performing on Conan, accidental mistakes turning into magic, how many of Brian's characters are tragically musical, band banter, the melancholy edge of the best comedy, how musicians who write the best sad songs are often the funniest people, the creation of the band Slipnutz, how Townes' music came into both our lives later in life, songs that tear you heart out, being a musician's musician, The Stooges, Aimee Mann, Dave Alvin, The Chelsea Hotel being the headquarters of Zandt's record label, how Townes is his own storyteller in this documentary, self-destructive tendencies in comedy and music, Dylan and Townes relationship, our Chris Elliott obsessions, being under-heard and misunderstood, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth trying to help Townes make a record, the documentary Heartworn Highways, Neko Case, Mick Jagger's country accent, writing songs in your dreams and so much more.So let's laugh through the pain on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie.BRIAN STACK:https://teamcoco.com/celebs/brian-stackREVOLUTIONS 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.

So did the Stones' Let It Bleed, Santana's first, The Stooges debuted with Iggy Pop and the first two Zeppelin LPs came out in that year. So did Abbey Road.

We're posted up at The Drawing Room in Pittsburgh with A great title doesn't always come from a brainstorming session. Sometimes it comes from a Tuesday night at Mario's, a Pirates game on TV, and a buddy who grabs a pen, a bar napkin, and just knows the words. We're posted up at The Drawing Room in Pittsburgh with Robby Incmikoski and Paul “Uncle Paulie” Hogan, and the stories go from ridiculous to genuinely moving without ever feeling forced.We relive the Arizona trip that basically introduced them to each other, where a rented ballpark pool and a crew of Pirates fans turned into the kind of chaos that becomes local folklore. Then we get into Sacred Grounds, Robby's baseball book, and the exact moment Paul named it and sketched a diamond on a napkin after a few too many Great Bombs. From Cooperstown archive access to the strange layouts at places like Wrigley and the heartbreak of what happened to Oakland, we dig into what makes MLB ballparks feel alive and why baseball relationships last.Before we wrap, Paul shares what he does now after firefighting: transporting organs for transplant and research, driving through the night with hearts, lungs, and livers, and why the work gives him real purpose. If you love baseball travel, behind-the-scenes MLB stories, and friendships that actually sound real, this one's for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves a good story, and leave a review with your favorite ballpark and why it matters to you.

In a rare interview, Greg Ginn opens up about the latest Black Flag lineup, the SST catalogue, the possibility of long-overdue reissues and the legacy of one of punk's most beloved bands. Tickets for Black Flag's 2026 Australian Tour Topics Include: Greg Ginn is based in Texas but currently in Long Beach after a tour. Black Flag is heading to Hong Kong and then Australia next. This will be Black Flag's third tour of Australia. Rumors of new recordings remain unconfirmed — Ginn stays tight-lipped. The current lineup has been together for about a year. Band plays nearly two hours a night across two full sets. Proximity of bandmates in Texas keeps the band constantly tight. Ginn discovered punk through the Stooges, MC5, and New York bands. Television, Ramones, Blondie, and The Damned were early major influences. Ginn identifies more with open, varied 70s punk than 80s hardcore. He never planned to be in a band — guitar was a personal outlet. Finding like-minded people in the mid-70s was genuinely rare and meaningful. Ginn started a business at 12 selling ham radio equipment he built. He published his own amateur radio magazine as a teenager. Black Flag's first EP was recorded as a demo, not a label release. Nobody wanted to sign them, so starting SST was a reluctant default. Ginn has applied the same DIY experimentation to an organic fertilizer brand. He gets bored easily and improvisation is central to keeping music alive. Ginn stays connected to a song's emotional meaning, not just its notes. Seven band members once lived in a single room during Black Flag's peak. Lineup changes were mostly practical — commitment and lifestyle demands were extreme. Ginn isn't interested in nostalgia-driven reunions; best music matters most now. Fans frequently thank him personally for helping them through difficult life periods. He avoids fiction, movies, and video games — prefers reality and constant learning. SST vaults are mostly bare — nearly everything recorded was officially released. Ginn is open to remastering but skeptical of padding albums with leftover cuts. He notes Dead Kennedys recently remixed Fresh Fruit — and wants to hear it. Ginn doesn't own a working turntable; portability matters more to him than format. SST catalog reissues — including Stains, Dicks, Overkill — are a genuine possibility. Ginn believes Black Flag's songs remain timeless, attracting both parents and their kids.

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.

We welcome back to our show, political satirist and digital comedian, Walter Masterson. Walt is a progressive video content creator who has turned trolling the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green, Matt Gaetz and the whole MAGA shit-show into an art form. His recent work trolling anti-choice protestors, anti-vaxxers and MAGA Republicans brilliantly captures the idiocy of the movement. Video footage that Walt shot while working on the frontlines during the January 6th insurrection has been instrumental in helping the FBI apprehend rioters who were stupid enough to brag about their crimes on tape! Walt's hilarious and insightful work has garnered him thousands of followers on multiple platforms and pro-democracy sites, like Patriot Takes and Meidas Touch. Walt's even brave enough to interact with users who both love and hate him on Twitch and Snapchat. Currently, he's crowdsourcing for his latest venture, “Trolling Conservatives Across America”.
