  • Episode 52: These Are the Same People Who Put Fruitopia Machines in High Schools | Sean's Pre-High School Mixtape

    We're back with another wild one here at Queen Venerator. Sean's pick for this week is a "mixtape" of songs that got him into music before high school. This is a VERY 90's heavy episode as Sean and Brad discuss Blind Melon, Bush, Beck, Stone Temple Pilots, and a bunch of movie soundtrack songs. Did you know that Deee-Lite did a cover of "You Sexy Thing" for the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack? You do now.

    Also, since its Sean and Brad, they stray from the topic to discuss Channel One, Exit 13, Brujeria, and Fruitopia.

    Also also, eagle-eared listeners might be able to tell that Brad is sick as hell during this recording and struggling to stay upright. Fun!

    Also also also, YO PEANUT, BEAT THAT THING!

    October is upon us. Again. It is the time to celebrate all manner of scary stuff: skeletons, goblins, draculas, and of course, RANDOM FUCKING WINDOWS UPDATES THAT ERASE YOUR FUN BONUS CHAT EPISODES.

  • Episode 51: Honolulu Mountain Daffodils - Guitars of the Oceanic Undergrowth (1987)

    We're back with Brad's pick on this episode of Queen Venerator. This time, we discuss the ramshackle 1987 post-punk album Guitars of the Oceanic Undergrowth by the band Honolulu Mountain Daffodils aka the most obscure album he could find apparently. Seriously, this album was actually trying to stay off the world's collective radar at the time, and it seems to have succeeded here in 2022.

    The brainchild of Adrian Borland, guitarist for gothic new wave band The Sound, this album (and project as a whole really) was made out of drunken spite with a backing band of untrained musicians who were also Borland's drinking buddies. The results are either better than that description sounds or as rad as that description sounds depending on your disposition.

    We dive into what scant information there is about this band, as well as some talk of reggae and our typical ramblings. Good stuff.
