It's a NIN sandwich! I start and end the show with tracks from the newly remastered Pretty Hate Machine. This one tends toward the aggressive and industrial-rock side of things with tracks by 16volt, KMFDM, Modulate, Mankind Is Obsolete and Streak. On the lighter side of things, you'll hear Sober by Lunic (including a lengthy discussion of the track), The Evolutionaries and a slower track from the new Kidneythieves album. You'll also learn a bit about the Department of Evil and Kilted Farmer Presents, two groups I've recently become involved with. As always, if you like what you hear, please support the bands and buy their music. Full show notes at http://www.aztalanturf.com

Jim Cookas and Brittany Bindrim of I:Scintilla chat with me about I:Scintilla's new album, Dying & Falling, the band's upcoming project, the Chicago electronic music scene, a possible show in Minneapolis and much more! If you like what you hear, please purchase some copies of the band's work. I highly recommend the 2-CD versions of both Dying & Falling and Optics, which are available from the band direct (North America) or from the usual (legal) places. Also on this episode, brand new Ivardensphere and a track from the newly released Gears Gone Wild Spring Break Edition.

Tune in for some big news from Garbage, yet another brand new I:Scintilla track (my favorite from the new album), I announce the winners of the I:Scintilla Dying & Falling contest and I have an announcement for episode 19. Where else but Aztalan Turf can you hear music by electronic rock band Celldweller, death metal band Jungle Rot and folky-indie-alternative-pop artist Jenny Dalton all right next to each other in the very same set?

I'm pleased to present an interview with indie rock/shoegaze band Makaras Pen. We discuss the self-titled debut album, their songwriting process, music sales, music theory - how much is too much?, gear and the details behind a few of their songs and videos. You'll also hear a brand new, unreleased Makaras Pen song. I also play music from IAMX, I:Scintilla, Dragonfly Lingo, Chant, The Dreaming, gODHEAD and more. Don't forget the I:Scintilla Dying & Falling contest that runs through November 5. Tweet to enter and win a standard edition copy of Dying & Falling.
