This week on The Lost State Show, Trey and Drew each bring their own list of five albums that are objectively rough from a production standpoint, but somehow became influential in their own way. We're talking blown out mixes, hard-panned stereo disasters, bedroom drum machines, and basement recordings that launched careers. From the Beatles era stereo panning that'll throw your ears off to DIY home recordings that built cult followings. If it sounds bad but hits different, it's on the list. Ten albums total, two completely separate lists. Pull up a seat.

THE LOST STATE SHOW is a weekly livestream at 4 pm Mondays covering music industry news, gear, production, and conversations with working musicians and audio professionals.

Fender is coming for the entire guitar industry. We're breaking down the Fender Stratocaster copyright lawsuit, how a default judgment against a Chinese AliExpress seller turned into cease and desist letters aimed at boutique builders, major brands, and the future of the S-style guitar as we know it. LSL Guitars, PRS Silver Sky, Suhr, Ibanez, Harley Benton, nobody is safe.

We talk the history of Fender's failed 2009 US trademark attempt, why this German court ruling is shakier than Fender's lawyers want you to think, and what it means for guitar players and builders worldwide.

Streaming pays nothing, so legacy acts are cashing in on nostalgia. Panic! at the Disco reunited a year after their "final show." Smashing Pumpkins announced another tour. Dez from Black Flag did a reunion with Black Flag. When We Were Young Festival built an entire business model on emo nostalgia. We're talking about when reunions are genuine versus transparent cash grabs, random album anniversaries (10, 12, 16, 20 years, no pattern, just marketing), and which bands should've stayed dead.

We put on our tinfoil hats and went full X-Files mode on Angine de Poitrine, the mysterious masked duo from Quebec that the internet can't stop talking about. Are they secretly members of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard? We investigated. The evidence is compelling. The feet are damning. The toes do not lie.Yes, we found proof they received Canadian government arts funding. Yes, King Gizzard is all Australian. We didn't hear that. The conspiracy stands.Also discussed: microtonal guitar, Eastwood Guitars, Flying Microtonal Banana, and some very suspicious toes."

From fake TikTok accounts to manipulated streaming data, we explore how major labels and marketing agencies are "gaming" the algorithm to create the illusion of grassroots success.

Tonight on The Lost State Show, Drew and I get into some heavy stuff on our minds before breaking down the punk and hardcore touring world, including the shocking Turnstile situation. Former guitarist Brady Ebert is facing attempted murder charges after allegedly running over singer Brendan Yates' father.

We also talk about the new Converge album announcement that dropped on April Fool's Day. We then get into some of the gear industry's April Fools jokes, and then land on more of a main topic, the Record Store Day debate. Does it still serve independent music, or has it become a major label cash grab? and two local angles from Portland and Philly that hit close to home.
