This week we’re not only discussing Tarantula Heart, the latest album by the Melvins, but Buzz Osborne himself has graced us with an exclusive interview (which starts at 37:56). Tarantula Hearts marks the Melvins’ return to dual drummers (this time with Ministry’s Roy Mayorga) and it’s a delight. Later in the episode, our history guy Tom talks to Buzz directly, covering everything from their disastrous tour with White Zombie to Buzz’s love of golf. Dig it.

This week, we’re discussing the latest album by sludge metal band BIG|BRAVE, A Chaos of Flowers. We’ve been following BIG|BRAVE since this show began and A Chaos of Flowers shows them evolving in a massive way. Still one of the heaviest albums you’ll hear, but with careful attention to atmosphere, minimalism, and beauty. A dense and destructive album that will reward anyone who has the stomach for music this slow and heavy.

This week we’re discussing the latest album by Pissed Jeans, Half Divorced. If high speed hardcore punk with a noise rock edge is your thing, this is easily one of the best albums of the year. This is Mike and Alex’s first time hearing Pissed Jeans and they were delighted, to say the least. Give it a shot, this one’s hard not to love.

This week we’re discussing every album by Siouxsie and the Banshees from 1978 to 1982. Aside from being one of the most influential bands in modern music, Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees played a major role in pioneering goth music, along with Bauhaus and the Cure. In this episode, we’re tackling the early years where they laid the foundation. It’s also the first time in a while Mike and Alex nearly strangle each other for their Worst Album picks.

This week we’re discussing A Sudden Craving, the newest album by The Children… And for the first time ever, we have included an exclusive interview with the band. Made up of Michael Wiener, Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop), and Phil Puelo (Cop Shoot Cop, Swans), The Children have created some of the most fascinating, texture-rich music you will hear this year. However, Wiener’s vocals will separate the weak from the strong, as his choices are unlike any you’ve heard before. Beautiful, intricate, dark, and most of all, completely insane. Enter at your own risk.

Tom’s interview with Jim and Michael begins at 35:48

This week we’re discussing every album by Foetus. However, there are a million EPs, remix albums, and collabs, so we’re just sticking with the core 10 albums. Foetus is the brainchild of JG Thirlwell, whom many will know as the music composer for The Venture Bros. and Archer. But Thirlwell’s roots stem all the way back to the New York no wave scene with characters like Lydia Lunch and Nick Cave. Be prepared, this is one hell of a discography.

This week we're discussing Putrid | Obsolete, the latest album by Prisoner. While these guys are self-described as industrial/metal/punk, the result sounds like all of these and none of them at the same time. Punishing, disturbing, headbanging, and weirdly enough, fun. If you have the stomach for extreme metal, this album is definitely worth checking out.

This week we’re discussing the one and only album by Mike Patton’s Peeping Tom. We all know Patton from Faith No More and Mr. Bungle (and his million other side projects, honestly), but Peeping Tom was the one time he tried mainstream pop music. Or at least his version of it, which of course sounds like no one else and could barely be considered pop music. A litany of guests are on here, too (Dan the Automator, Kool Keith, Norah Jones, Massive Attack). A bit dated in spots, but a great album still worth revisiting.

Closing track: “Sucker (feat. Norah Jones)” from Peeping Tom (2006)

This week we’re discussing every album by Porno for Pyros. Formed by Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction, Porno for Pyros is a completely distinct spin-off band. Where JA was more guitar-centric, these guys are more rhythmic and psychedelic. A completely different style, but dynamic and with plenty of musical depth. Also, the band did a ton of crack. They’ve since reunited with legendary bassist Mike Watt for a final tour.

This week we’re discussing She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She, the latest album by Chelsea Wolfe. Aside from being a mouthful, this album has Wolfe once again taking a sharp detour from the style of her last album—this time into mind-bending, dark electronic. Wolfe rarely disappoints and this record is no different. Dig it.
