Welcome to WASTOIDS With…Limbeck. Led by Patrick Carrie and Robb MacLean, with Justin Entsminger and Jon Phillip, Limbeck has been mixing Orange County skater vibes with rustic country-tinged indie rock since 1999. 

2003’s Hi, Everything’s Great earned them a cult of devoted fans, and while they have operated in a limited capacity over the years since, the band has recently been hitting the road, which is where Mike Behrends caught up with them for this WASTOIDS chat. Patrick and Robb decamped to their mini-van to record this talk, outside of the Majestic Theater in Madison, to discuss the group’s origin story, the inspiration behind their sound, and tease a brand new album in the works. All that and more this week on WASTOIDS With.

This week’s episode features original music by Sam Means and selections from the Hi, Everything’s Great B-Sides Collection, which you can get from Limbeck’s Bandcamp page. We want to thank Mike for hosting this talk. Find him online @banjoteeth. Wanna share your favorite Limbeck song or anything else? All you have to do is call 1-877-WASTOIDS to get in touch, and we’ll play your message on a future episode.

The 7-inch record isn’t just a format–it’s an art form. On each episode of The Spindle podcast, music writer Marc Masters and music historian (and music maker) John Howard dive into a great 7-inch, dissecting its background, impact, and the reasons why it stands out as a small plastic piece of music history.  The Spindle keeps it short and to the point–just like the best 7-inches do. This episode, the duo celebrates the return of Pavement—who are reunited and playing shows currently—and drops the needle on Slay Tracks: 1933–1969, Pavement's debut EP.

N8NOFACE is one of the most energetic forces to emerge from the Southwest experimental underground. Originally known as part of the chiptune duo Crimekills, Nate’s since hit a streak of releases that blend synth pop, punk, and darkwave, equally indebted to groups like Screamers, Suicide, Ween, and Sleaford Mods. 

For this episode of WASTOIDS WITH, we linked up with Nate learn how he tells the stories of the outlaws he grew up with in the desert on his new album Homicide, getting sober, cyberpunk, and the influence of cult R&B artist Cody ChesnuTT’s The Headphone Masterpiece—which turns 20 this year. We recorded this talk at the secret room at Valley Bar. Big thanks to the crew there for accommodating us.

It's time for WASTOIDS With…Laura Jane Grace. She’s created some of the most strident punk music of the last couple of decades, both as a solo artist and leader of Against Me! She’s currently embarked on the Carousel Tour, playing collaborative sets with Anthony Green of Circa Survive and Tim Kasher of Cursive, along with special guests Mikey Erg, Home Is Where, and Oceanator on select dates. Here in AZ, we're psyched to catch the show at the Crescent Ballroom on May 20.

Laura kept real busy during the pandemic, and was a frequent DJ on Vans Channel 66, where she exclusively played music released post-2020. She also put out a killer EP, At War With The Silverfish, and was recently elected as a governor of the Chicago Chapter of the Recording Academy—that’s the GRAMMYs. Laura sat down with Brandon Michel to chat about the challenges of touring in 2022, the 15th anniversary of Against Me!’s landmark album New Wave, what she’s been listening to, and get into her habits, which include running, drinking absurd amounts of coffee, and dominating foosball tables nationwide.

Yesterday becomes tomorrow and today fades into nothing more than a passing dream. Are you in the grind, listener? The never-ending routine? Clearing inboxes, paying bills, shuffling obligations, rescheduling catch ups with friends?

They say there’s nothing new under the sun. So often it feels that way. But then again, something occasionally comes along to shatter that adage. A rare occurrence, a special flash of kaleidoscopic novelty. A spark of innovation, a mental vision so bright it temporarily blinds your third eye. A phantom touch. The overpowering scent of flowers. A whispered word that isn’t quite audible yet rings out in your inner ear, resonating internally and eternally: a word that is, CLAIRAUDIENCE. 

Inspiration is a funny thing. It arrives without warning and you must not think, you must act. Time dissipates energy; delay will not serve you. A summer adventure is calling our host Ersa away…and so this is the final episode of Clairaudience for now. But never fear: the archives are still spinning in our 24/7 WASTOIDS SOUND SYSTEM.
