In the second and final part of our conversation, Carl breaks into post-apartheid South Africa, becomes a world citizen, finds a deeper understanding of the human experience, develops a audio curriculum rooted in Pythagoras, and plots his escape from a social construct that has no intrinsic value.

"Martyrs" by Heart Out

Theme by GOWN

Carl G has been a staple in the Wilkes/Barre - Scranton, PA Hardcore and Electronic music scenes since the early 1990's. His contributions via creating and Djing, founding the legendary Homebase record store and venue, helping to found the Wilkes-Barre Fest (which morphed into the Positive Numbers Fest), throwing raves, and playing synth for An Albatross all culminated in his position working for the biggest names in pop music today.

Carl has an intrinsic sense of positivity, curiosity, and spirituality that is totally infectious! Stay tuned for part 2!

This is the visual component of our discussion with Dave from P.O.A.C. Tonight, legendary Hardcore/Punk vocalist Dave Ackerman (Tear It Up, Dead Nation, Pagan Rituals) and I celebrate the release of Culture Of Death, the lates album by Planet On A Chain on Revelation Records.

This album embodies everything I love about Hardcore. The political IS personal, the tempos are played at breakneck speed, the vocals are searingly pissed, and theres nary a tinge of metal, it is Punk played at 200mph.

We discuss the good old days, the bad new ones, our mutual love of left leaning politics and Pitbull Terriers, animals in general, music, love, and death.

Do not miss this one. I really love this guy. I REALLY love this band.

Tommy Walter is a certified journeyman in the world of music, having studied it in both a scholarly manner and as a devout fan. He parlayed his experience in classical and jazz into a career that began (professionally) along side E (Mark Oliver Everett), striking a deal with fledgeling heavyweight Dreamworks, and (eventually) receiving Gold and Platinum certifications for the album "Beautiful Freak".

After his stint in Eels, Tommy struck out on his own, formed the group Metromax (later Tely) and released an album digitally. This project gave rise to what we now know as Abandoned Pools. In 2001, the breathtakingly orchestrated and emotionally riveting "Humanistic" was released to great fanfare and generated heat from the dynamic 1-2 punch of singles "The Remedy" and "Mercy Kiss".

The criminally under-rated "Reverb" EP & "Armed To The Teeth" followed in Summer/Fall of 2005. This led to stints with other projects (Glacier Hiking, Oliver The Penguin, solo work) as well as providing the soundtrack to animated series Clone High.

Tommy returned to Abandoned Pools and added to it's discography many times along the way, consistently creating monoliths of powerful dream-pop with electronic ambience and emotional wallop. Today, the crowd-sourced and sonically sublime "The Haunted House" is available to the general public, as is our conversation. Please support Tommy via:

Welcome to the video document of my conversational collision with Discriminate Audio label head, artist behind the incredible Unborn Ghost... Author and biographer. Modern Drunkard and rational thinker. WE traverse the expanse of his creative output, mine the ore of his psyche, and rejoice in the libidinous chaos of life.

Tonight we gather to celebrate DEMONS (out TODAY), the new album from Metallic Punk Industrialists NONEXISTER. Tonight we chat with songwriter, lyricists and vocal acrobat (his voice is sheer, unadulterated power) Nik Leuthold.

From their Bio: Zürich-based industrial metal band NONEXISTER is set to release their debut album Demons on March 15. The release thrives on the interplay between the energy of electronic music and the catharsis of heavy music. To celebrate, the band has shared a video for the track “A Promise In The Air.”

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Marco Neeser says about the new single, "'A Promise In The Air' is the antithesis of a pop song. It is long, it builds up slowly, it leads the listener astray by beginning with a pulsating synth line and seductive, intimate vocals, and then finally dissolving into an epic finale of guitars."

‘Demons’ is a journey through the depths of the human soul - dark, disturbing, dynamic,

contradictory, and deeply emotional. While it’s full of pummeling grooves that are ready for the mosh pit, there are also eerie, strange moments that gnaw at the listener’s brain. The band swings like a pendulum between moments of industrial ecstasy and mosh-worthy outbursts.
