Continuing from Episode 27, Ladd and I share more beers, more memories and more meat.  This time we delve into V.B.G.'s sophomore demo, "Auntie Christ" and even top it off with some live recordings from around 1991 and 1992. 

V.B.G.'s second effort found the band a little tighter, a tad more mature, yet still as reckless and juvenile as ever.  Join us as we look at the past with equal parts fondness and embarrassment. 

V.B.G. was Jason Walton, Ladd Rutherford, Joe Ulvi and Adam Jelinski.

Kayo Dot is a very important band to me, so it was an honor to welcome Ron Varod onto the podcast.  Ron is a multi-instrumentalist who is in Kayo Dot, Sabbath Assembly and performs solo under the name Zvi.  Zvi was on a tour across America supporting his new record "Deer Pink" and stopped in to share some interesting music and perspectives. Join us as we talk about Ulver, the pros and cons of drum machines, music production and Karaoke."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.Closing music by Zvi.  https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/

Ladd Rutherford and I have been friends for a long time.  We met in Junior High in Bozeman, Montana in the early '90s and shortly thereafter formed our first band together, V.B.G.  We were immersed in death metal and grindcore in the heyday of the genres and melded some of our favorite bands in our first musical enterprise.

In this first installment of several, we take a look at the music we made together as we escape to a remote village on a peninsula in the Pacific Ocean and examined V.B.G.'s first demo, "Staff Infection." 

Join us as we listen to the music of our past; the forgotten gems, the embarrassing failures and the rekindled memories... and beer, rare lamb and more beer.

On this recording V.B.G. was Jason Walton, Ladd Rutherford, Joe Ulvi and Adam Jelinski.

Ione and I had been discussing for a while starting a series of podcasts, shorter episodes that exist in the larger body of IHM, that focus on bands or artists we both enjoy, but that we assume most listeners of I Hate Music would not enjoy.  We are calling this series "In Defense of...", and this is the first installment.  21 Pilots are very hit and miss for me, but I find them clever, ominous, subversive and at times, even heavy?  Ione and I decided to get to the bottom of this and explore the world of this Ohio duo.Join us for beer, talk, and listen to us flounder trying to justify our appreciation for a pop band."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli, performed by Billy Smeer.Bumper music by Twenty One Pilots. https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/

Robert Hunter and I go way back.  He is one of my favorite people.  He and I have collaborated on many things, including Snares of Sixes, Self Spiller and my short lived label, Audio Savant, that we both struggled with years ago.  He also makes music with IHM's very own Marius Sjoli in Hollow Branches, and solo under the moniker Occulted Sound.  Join Robert and I for beer, music and a few laughs."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli, performed by Billy Smeer.Bumper music by Arizmenda.Closing music by Hollow Branches.This episode sponsored by Red Orchard Records - https://www.redorchardrecords.com/ https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/

Asa Eisenhardt spearheads the shoegaze/postpunk band Nostalgist as well as runs the label Nostalgium Directive.  Asa and I have been friends for quite some time, and it was a pleasure to have him in my studio to share music.  Nostalgist's "Dissafection" was in my top 5 favorites records from 2018 so I wanted to get him in here to promote it a bit.  Join us for music, memories and a bit of nostalgia."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.Closing music by Nostalgist.https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/

Ellory Walton has been my daughter for almost 12 years now.  She is an amazing, and disturbingly brilliant and hilarious individual.  Her music taste might be suspect, and honestly, confounding, but her insight into the way kids her age get exposed to music, share music, and consume music is fascinating.  Join us for music and beers."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.Closing music by Lawnmower Deth.https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/

YOB has been a leading force in doom metal for a long time, but in the previous few years they have reached a level of success few achieve, and it is richly deserved.  YOB tends to defy, and define heavy music all at once.  2018 brought us the release of "Our Raw Hearts," YOB's latest album, and after months of being on the road, bassist Aaron Rieseberg joined me for beers, music and bass geekery while we collectively tried to remember which countries we have toured."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/

I believe art of any kind, should be wrought with chance operation and experiment.  I also believe that podcasting is an art.  With that spirit in mind, I give to you, an odd experiment I presented to the guests at my house on New Year's Eve.  I set up all my podcasting gear, hit "play" on my Spotify "Your Top Songs of 2018" playlist automatically made for me by the all-knowing gods at Spotify, and invited my guests to take part, without me.After some heavy editing of approximately 8 hours of audio, I widdled it down to the cream of the crop.  Join me in listening to various people, from various age groups, reacting to a randomly generated playlist that they can only hear, not see.  If you have listened to past episodes, some voices will be familiar, and others will be new."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/
