Conan Neutron’s Protonic Reversal

Gregg Deal came to being a bandleader and punk rock singer late, coming up as a transgressive visual performance artist first originally from Utah and now living in Denver. Abjectly political and direct, Dead Pioneers have struck a chord and their newest one Wagon Burner, which fits very nicely into that new legacy with a new single featuring Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods. It is pretty hard to be confused of the messaging with songs like Nazi Teeth. Following up PO$T AMERICAN and the spirited self/titled debut with the iconic song Bad Indian, social issues, political stances and the lived experience of being an indigenous descendent reclaiming a lost voice as well as a physical record collection. The raw energy is hard to beat and it has impressed many, including Pearl Jam who took them out on tour.

Bob Bert is Back! With Beach Blanket Bloodbath, his first true solo album. A percussion heavy record featuring original compositions as well as reimagingings of notable guitar heavy compositions. Just without the guitar. We talk Bad Moon Rising and the enduring legacy of that specific Sonic Youth record. Just exactly what was up with Action Swingers and Ned Hayden. Vincent Gallo causing a ruckus in a diner, What made Lydia Lunch Retrovirus so special and cool. Jon Spencer & the Hitmakers and what happened with the end of that band. The great zine BBGun, Bewitched, filling in on drums for Live Skull, Chrome Cranks and why you probably won't be seeing Bob on tour anytime soon, but should DEFINITELY go to this insane record release show if you are available. Bob is always a great guest and a wonderful guy. Great to have him.

Neptune have a new record and are back on tour! That's right the noise-rock/experimental pioneers with the handcrafted and welded "junk" instruments, feedback organs and other esoteria are out there with a new record called "Play Some Music" and are playing all across the lands once more. Who has been injured by said metal instruments and how? We speak about likeminded compatriots like Liars, Black Dice, Lightning Bolt, etc. hard touring in the 2000s and being paired with all of the strangest bands due to being unclassifiable. The logistics of operating as a band while now living in three different areas and the incredible story behind the artwork of Play Some Music by Sean Micka, details from Book Out Of Stock But Six Pictures, a cycle of paintings about the life of Mildred Fish Harnack (1902 - 1943).

Point Line Plane is back! The early 2000s "synth punk" band that were contemporaries with so many luminaries are back in 2026 with a reissued first album by Skin Graft. Let's hear the story of the band's formation, the deep understanding of lore, as well as the beginnings of Witch Mountain. Witch Mountain, of course, was well ahead of the DOOM trend. Creative viability, pushing forward with sounds and returning to the music after a prolonged absence. Playing drums in Two Ton Boa, building bridges vs. burning bridges, sustainable living as an artist...all that and the origin story for one of the most enduring and respected band booking agencies around, Nanotear booking. Oh yeah, and did you know he's a published author too? Wow!

The World is Still Here and So Are We was one of the best records of 2025. So it is time to reconnect on not just that, but the new mini album/ep, etc? I Sure Am Sick of This Bowling Alley. There is a mclusky song in the Peaky Blinders movie The Immortal Man. All about that and the premiere, as well as how People Person was a catalyst for Falco's tinnitus, and the cyclical nature of it would allow for a much longer arrangement. Hipster Adjacent Constituency, The "As A Dad" video (and the logic behind that title), working with Remy Lamont on the many mclusky videos and Aesthetic Apparatus with so many posters and artwork, speaking freely politically meaning professional ramifications for travel. Certain iconic records that almost objectively do not sound good, but still manage to be great. The essence of nostalgia and how to be more than a memory. The psychological effects of the COVID era, algorithms and what that could mean for the future. The nature and music of christian fitness. Falco has been on a time or two, but is always a good time.( Ep388, Ep371, Ep241, Ep157, Ep116, Ep100, Ep89, Ep63, Ep14, Ep04)
