Avinash and I discuss growing up in the South Bay, the trip to Big Al’s Record Barn that started both his record collection and his interest in audio engineering, how his writing career began as a way to get into shows for free, his Invisible Oranges piece on Lucifer’s Hammer, the longevity of the Bay Area metal scene, the pros and cons of commercial heavy metal, the pros and cons of Rick Rubin, how we listen to music, technological advances in audio technology, how to navigate the vast quantity of music available today, and why the Bay Area music scene is worth celebrating.
