Podcasts about wrong division

We're talking a little more Beta this week. There's some discussion from Reddit bringing us to a talk over how most players are playing The Division 2 wrong and some of our thoughts. Brands are also a topic with Tinkkz wearing her tinfoil hat on some ideas for the specific brand names. Sage and Remy do a podcast within a podcast regarding The Animaniacs that didn't make the cut. Listener questions as well, punch and pie.   Reddit Links: You Are Playing The Division 2 Wrong Division 2 Weapons / Talents / Brand Sets

We've been running a little behind here at PP central, what with our electioneering activities, booking headaches, influenza quarantine, and generally running on pterodactyl time (you thought punk time was bad).  So we're going to make it up to you starting now with a full week of snacktimes!  First up is probably our most significant piece of outstanding business- a special hour long mix of performances recorded at the UNDERCURRENT grand finale show on January 30, 2015 at the Schlafly Tap Room (the release party for the twelfth and final cassette in the series).  If you'll recall, UNDERCURRENT was the critically acclaimed concert & mixtape collaborative series that was curated by Wrong Division and edited/arranged by Paradoxal Pterodactyl, with visuals by Chizmo.tv and pals, beer by Schlafly, and killer performances by just about a million of STL's finest acts across multiple genres.  Actually that description barely begins to cover the UNDERCURRENT experience or all the work that went into it.  This very special mix was completed the very next day after the final show, and then somehow got lost before we could post it, for over a year until Dingus found it hiding on an SD card a couple weeks ago.  So here it is, the long awaited party re-cap featuring the debut performances of SKIN TAGS and HARDBODY, encore victory lap performances by CAVEOFSWORDS and TRAUMA HARNESS, and (wow you guys) the super slippery GHOST ICE!  Thanks again to everybody who made this shit possible, that came out and enjoyed themselves (and talked nonsense into the mic for me), and especially to everyone who tried to take a little piece of that zeitgeist and run with it and make something new... it feels like forever ago since these shows, but we can still feel the echoes in the scene today, more than a year later.  I guess what I'm trying to say is GO TEAM.  GOOD GAME.

You see now, THIS is what you miss when you skip a pterodactyl party.  Joe Hess (Complainerr, Hardbody, Sun Bros., Hess/Cunningham, Wrong Division, etc.) hit some drums, David Bell (Jaded Evil Lambs, Fry 13, Anhydrous Man, Ventriloquim, Paradoxal Pterodactyl, etc.) processed said drum hits and provided additional synthesis.  Special guest appearance by a suicidal xmas ornament.  Hope you asked Santa for a new stereo this year, because this shit right here is about to crush your speakers.  Thanks as always to Bob & Sherry at the Way Out Club.  Come start the new year right on January 6, 2016 for Way Out Weirdo Wednesday #4, featuring Biggie Stardust and Patrick Weston.  More acts to be announced soon, keep an eye on the PP facebook for details.

Here is the rest of Catholic Guilt's set at the first Undercurrent show way back on 1/30/2014 at the Schlafly Tap Room.  The rest of their set was featured on the cassette put out by Eat Tapes, and available to download or stream at wrongdivision.bandcamp.comCatholic Guilt is playing a show tonight at Melt (2712 Cherokee) with Larva Lu and Taboo from Portland, Maine, and three acts from Nebraska: Coyote, Black Pillar, and Aqua-Eroticum (who played here back in November at the show at Plush that spawned the Janet/Jaded Evil Lambs collab a couple snacktimes ago- highly recommended noizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze).  10 PM - 12AM, short and sweet, $8 get you in, additional $$$ gets you merch, booze, and waffles.  Do it.Undercurrent WAS a production of Wrong Division, Paradoxal Pterodactyl, chizmo.tv, and Schlafly Tap Room.  Recorded live by Charlie Nehr and David Bell, the two recordings were mixed together by Brad Schumacher, edited and retouched for the podcast by Dingus.http://wrongdivision.blogspot.comhttp://wrongdivision.bandcamp.com

Tonight is the very last Undercurrent event at the Schlfafly Tap Room, and the release of the last FREE cassette mixtape.  If you've missed out on everything so far, or are a completist, or just love us all that much, there will also be a limited edition box set available for purchase (proceeds go to Stephen Houldsworth's Ferguson leadership fund), which includes all 12 tapes, a specially made box with two different covers to hold them all, and a REALLY groovy DVD from chizmo.tv capturing some of his favorite perfomances from the whole series paired with video of the live improvised video projections he was running with them.  A very exciting set, only 10 available, $75 each.  And as always, great beer, great food, and great tunes. Tonight we have encore performances by Trauma Harness and CaveofSwordS, two exciting new bands Hardbody (members of Braining and Stonechat) and Skin Tags (members of Little Big Bangs and Spelling Bee), and the ever amazing GHOST ICE. So, tonight's the last show, and this is the Side C for the last mixtape, featuring 18andCounting, Animal Teeth, The Conformists (totally taking the piss, I might add), Ben Hanna, and Skarekrau Radio.  It's an interesting mix and an appropriate send-off for the Undercurrent series, but don't think the fun is over yet.  There is still lots of material we'll be dropping for a while longer- we'll have the missing Side C for #7 eventually (was a problem with one of the recordings, it's fixable but haven't had the time just yet), several additional selections to be released as individual bonus tracks, maybe some bootleg audio from tonight, and then some of the remaining clips may just find their way into episodes of Paradoxal Pterodactyl, so please do stick around for all the fun to be found in this feed.  It's been a fun journey together thus far, right?Undercurrent #12 performances recorded 12/19/2014 at Schlafly Tap Room by Charlie Nehr.  Additional recording/editing/arranging by David Bell.  Cassette released in conjunction with APOP Records.  Undercurrent is a production of Wrong Division, Schlafly Tap Room, Paradoxal Pterodactyl, and chizmo.tvhttp://wrongdivision.blogspot.comhttp://wrongdivision.bandcamp.com

A bit behind schedule (no surprise to regular listeners to the podcast), but worth the wait (natch).  Last Thursday was the last Undercurrent show of the series to be recorded, and the release party from last month's tape (released in conjunction with Close/Far), featuring John Tamm-Buckle, Kevin Harris, NNN Cook, and Britches.  Charles Evans also delivered an acidic spoken dissertation/dissection of various subjects and sources, which was not used on the tape for reasons.  Accordingly, this digital Side C is all for him.  Full-on rethinged hoo-ha deluxe edition- AKA Charles Evans Vs.

Tonight is the third show in the Undercurrent concert series at the Schlafly Tap Room, and the release of the second Undercurrent mix cassette with audio taken from last month's show.  We've realized in assembling these tasty plastic morsels that 20 minutes per side leaves a lot on the cutting room floor, and barely gives you room to stretch your leathery wings.  So starting this month we are offering a digital Side C continuing where the tape left off.  Enjoy!Tracklist: (banter)The FunsTim Rakel meets Muck-TetCaveofswordS(banter)The FunsMuck-TetChris WardThe FunsTim Rakel (mehb remix)Dusty FingersPerformances recorded 2/27/14 at Schlafly Tap Room by Charlie Nehr.

If you hadn't heard, Paradoxal Pterodactyl is participating in a special project in association with Wrong Division and Chizmo.tv called Undercurrent, a series of (FREE) monthly shows at the Schlafly Tap Room aimed at fostering communication and collaboration amongst the diverse artistic and musical scenes around St. Louis.  Each month, Joseph Hess curates a select lineup of the best experimental/noise/punk/hardcore/spoken word/comedy/etc/etc/etc performers in town, including some specially arranged collaborations that would likely never have happened otherwise.  Everything gets recorded, and then your favorite avian reptiles work their magic and edit it down to a funky mix that then will be released as a physical mixtape at the next month's show on professionally duplicated cassettes, again free for the first 100 people through the door.The first installment of this series took place on January 30th, 2014.  The second concert and release of the mixtape from the first show is tonight.  To celebrate, here is a special bonus track, a performance by the duo of Jake Cohen and Jason LaChance (both members of the group Barely Free).  Billed for the evening as "The Jerk", their set was largely based around samples from the classic film of the same name starring Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters.  The audience loved it, but the record pressing plant rejected the first mix of the cassette due to copyright issues, and we had to replace their segment in the mix entirely and leave them off of the tape.Luckily we have a podcast that doesn't mind a little grey area...  Here is the set, in its entirety, with love, from Paradoxal Pterodactyl to you.Recorded and mixed by Charlie Nehr.Wrong Division blog & radio show: http://wrongdivision.blogspot.com/Barely Free: http://barelyfreepartialprisoners.bandcamp.com/Video of this set, including live visual projections by Chizmo.tv: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy0eXASM1bk
