Conan Neutron’s Protonic Reversal

Ivan has a new record called Swing Your Lanterns. Starting in live performance with the Foundations (Build Me Up Buttercup) with touring 101, starting in with Richard Hell and the Voidoids in 70s New York. Rehearsing 3 or 4 songs for months for the first ep, Black Generation. Liars Beware! The different sounds and bands of that NY scene and whoever sells more records gets written about more. The story of the Outsets, Giorgio Gomelsky and Bob Clearmountain. Working without a net. Working with Matthew Sweet, touring with Shriekback. All that and so much more, a lifetime of incredible music.

Kevin is back and he has TWO new records! Uneat, the latest from Hepa.Titus. And Crackpot Whorehead a collaboration with Trevor Dunn. The Bass V - I. A brief history of hepa.tits, and remote collaborations. Selected Melvins memories. The joy of grabbing weird gear and doing cool things with it. All that and a living history of Cows records (or whatever Kevin remembers of them!).

Also, don't miss episode Ep144 when Kevin was last on THREE YEARS AGO!

The pride of Gowanus comes on Protonic Reversal. Martin documented all the no waves bands, ran a studio with Bill Laswell before running it himself. Recorded Herbie Hancock's ROCKIT (!), as well as Ex-Models, Lydia Lunch... Sonic Youth Bad Moon Rising and EVOL. J.G. Thirlwell. All of that, an incredible career and incredible ongoing presence in the New York community and beyond. Who else randomly stumbles upon Brian Eno outtakes? That's right... Martin Bisi. Ohh yeah, he also has a great new record of his own called FERAL MYTHS.

Boomer, The godfather of desert rock! Early days with Black Flag, Redd Kross and Saccharine Trust. Restaurants and riffs. The incredible Tony Tornay. Introducing: The free and unique night to night music of the Rubber Snake Charmers. The origins of the incredible Fatso Jetso. Dropping into the desert sessions to do "millionaire" (later to become a Queens of the Stone Age song). Generators and the responsibility of running a restaurant. Live from Total Annihilation. Legends of the Desert split with Dali's Llama! It is the legend, Mario Lalli.

Hammered Hulls! A new-ish band with a GREAT record called Careening. Singer and frontman Alec Mackaye comes on protonic reversal and goes into a DETAILED song by song of this incredible record, as well as talk of The Warmers, general songwriting, song lyric interpretations as jumping off points and writing prompts for the audience, inspiration and coming back to music and live performance with awesome likeminded collaborators and coming up with something very special.

Everywhen We Go, that's the new record by Mike Baggetta / Jim Keltner / Mike Watt is now out! It's the latest record from a loose limbed collaboration by the iconic experimental guitarist, the mighty Minutemen bass man and the incredible session drummer who has played with everybody. So what's the difference between that and MSSV (main STEAM stop valve)? Well Stephen Hodges for one, who played with Tom Waits and many others. We talk about the differences, Mike's background and history with music and collaboration. Wall of Flowers and Live Flowers, creative process, tones and pedals and a song by song breakdown of the new record. Hey, Watt was just on talking about that too, it's like the Rashomon effect.
