12 Stomp Program

This week we take a break from talking about finding gear to make music, and get into the process of finding sounds to make music.  Stephen Petrus of Murderous Vision is an artist who uses found sounds to create his dark ambient soundscapes (and more).  This episode is a really interesting trip into a completely different way of making music and all of the bits and pieces that go into it.

Why would you buy more than one of the "same" pedal?  When does a clone stop being a clone?  How many ways are there to make toast? All of these questions and more are answered, or at least asked on this week's episode with punk rock poly math Chris Pierce from Volume IV studio and too many bands to list (ok, we'll try, Doc Hopper, Sinkhole, Deadguy, Faux Replika, Mikey Erg...)

Sometimes you need to hunt for gear because you're compulsive, but sometimes you need to hunt for gear because you actually use it for your livelihood.  This week we have an awesome talk with Clint Holley from Well Made Music and Vince Slusarsz from Gotta Groove Records about how they tracked down the machinery they've built their businesses around and SO much more!

Would you pay a premium for a pre-distressed reliced guitar?  Brent Ferguson of Cleveland's premiere guitar shop Guitar Riot makes a pretty darn convincing case for it.  We also get into gear that we wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole and why.

Is GAS a uniquely American condition?  Of course not, but since neither of us had any idea what it's like to be obsessed with gear in other countries, we enlisted the help of our friend Ed Wenn of the fantastic UK band Dealing with Damage to give us the lowdown on the trials and tribulations of gear acquisition in Old Blighty.

This week we talk about willful minimalism with guitarist and recording engineer extraordinaire Jeff Dean of Airstream Futures!  What's the point in having a simple setup when you don't have to? Jeff makes a pretty convincing argument, even though we still think it's kind of crazy.

This week's guest is the prolific and magnificent Lamont "Bim" Thomas, aka OBNOX.  The bulk of his musical output has been captured using analog means, and we get into why that's been his preferred method over the years.  The conversation takes some wild twists and turns too, listeners are in for a ride.
