Having just seen Peter Hook & The Light, we’re spending this episode discussing not just Hooky’s presentation of the Joy Division and New Order catalogs, but also how our thoughts and feelings about those two bands have changed over the past thirty years. By equal measures we’ll be getting into the nitty gritty of JD/NO lore and ephemera, but also wrestling with what has and hasn’t changed about ourselves since we first came in contact with music which has never lost its gravitational pull upon us. We’re also talking about some possible Tear Garden news.
We like to mark every 25th episode of the podcast with some sort of special theme or format, and so on this episode we're taking up the hefty topic of to what degree goth is a subculture tied to music. Grab your snakebite and Aquanet and expect gatekeeping, gateletting, takes spicy and mild, and no small amount of cattiness. We're also talking about the passing of Roli Mossiman, the news of North American And One dates, and a Devours gig.
It’s a mixed format episode this week, with Alex giving a rundown of his trip to Edmonton for the Purple City Festival this past weekend, including the I Die: You Die showcase stage. Then, we’re switching gears to talk about the era of high technoid via Access To Arasaka’s 2009 LP Oppidan. All that, plus some horseshit about mainstream media’s annual fixation with "goth" fashion around Hallowe'en.
We’re back to the classic two albums format for the first time in a hot minute, with the grinding industrialized noise rock of Head Of David and The Horror’s first kick at the can as a spastic garage band in goth/scene garb on the table. We’re also indulging in a bit of wanton speculation about the Nine Inch Nails name being attached to the next Tron film.
Our least favourite records by some of our favourite artists is the subject of this week's Pick Five formatted episode of the podcast. Is it a real Sophie's Choice situation or are we eager to throw some underperforming records under the bus? Find out, along with some talk about the recent Ex-Heir show which passed though Vancouver.
The third and final of our Terminus interviews features longtime site fave Kontravoid. Cam spoke with us about new LP "Detachment", the shifting scope and success of the project, and the significance of masking up. Also, some news about ID:UD's presence at Purple City in Edmonton.
This month's Patreon-supported commentary podcast tackles the glammy-gothy new wave fusion of Edmonton's dearly departed Cygnets. Featuring captivating vocals, savvy synth work, and hooks, hooks, HOOKS, Isolator is representative of everything that made them one of the most captivating and underrated bands of their time.
Our post-Terminus afterglow continues with another interview recorded during the festival - we're joined by James and Jordan from Male Tears about new album Paradisco and how it weaves pop from decades past into current darkwave and goth aesthetics.
The first of our Terminus-related interviews is here, and with their new LP The Tower set to drop in just over a week, we're very happy to share our conversation with Urban Heat. Jonathan, Pax, and Kevin were very forthcoming with their thoughts on the influence that the heterogeneous music culture of Austin has had on them, the craft of building a live set, and what it's been like to be on the inside of one of dark music's biggest breakthrough acts of the past two years.
Our annual wrap-up of our favourite festival of the year is year, with night by night recaps of all four days of Terminus. Which hungry up and comers grabbed the proverbial brass ring? Which legacy acts fought like hell to retain their top billing spots? And which hotly hyped acts fell flat? Grab a pint of '88 Night Gallery and a plate of Street Eatery seitan chicken and find out...
