This week the Senior Staff are on the mean streets of LA, catching all the goings on at the third and final stop of the Cold Waves festival tour. Alex and Bruce discuss all the sets from bands new and old and are joined throughout the episode by bands and other friends who offer their thoughts on and memories of the fest. It's a full-throttle trip through rivethead heaven on this week's episode of We Have A Technical!

On the occasion of Storming The Base scaling back and changing their operations, the Senior Staff are taking up the topic of mail order. From filling out money orders for Steril singles to trying to figure out which format a Bandcamp purchase should be in, Bruce and Alex are looking at mail order from both a nostalgic and business-minded perspective. All that, plus some last minute Cold Waves biz and a whole bunch of Blade Runner bullshit on the latest episode of We Have A Technical!

With industrial supergroup C-Tec back in action touring across the continent, the Senior Staff are revisiting their second LP, 2000's "Cut". What do each of Heal, Denton, and De Meyer bring to the project? How does it hold up in comparison to its predecessor? And how many Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel references can be shoehorned into an industrial music podcast? Find out on this month's Patreon supported We Have A Commentary podcast!

Hot on the heels of last week's knock down dragout fisticuffs, Bruce and Alex kick back with a good old fashioned Pick 5 episode of We Have a Technical. Yes, B-Sides are the topic, as each of the Senior Staff picks a couple personal faves and then expounds on why they enjoy them so well. Plus we talk the recent Die Krupps Visa Issues, some unexpected revelations pertaining to Mortal Kombat The Movie (really) and more, all this week on the official I Die: You Die podcast!

Things get personal, very personal, as the Senior Staff embark upon the third Great Debate. Each is acting as a representative of their favourite album of all time, and no punches are pulled as Alex and Bruce champion the virtues of two undisputed classics. The Cure's "Disintegration". Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures". Two albums enter. One leaves. One...gets its corners dinged. It's the Great Debate III on We Have a Technical!

The ol' ID:UD mailbag is pulled open in this episode of the podcast, with all manner of questions ranging from the ruminatively serious to the frothily flippant being taken up by the Senior Staff. How will Die Sektor, Emilie Autumn -and- Tomohiro Ishii all make their way onto the world's premier podcast for post-industrial pedantry? There's only one way to find out, gentle listener.

Matia Simovich of Inhalt joins Alex and Bruce on the podcast this week to discuss how that project's trilogy of EPs responds to the crisis of late capitalism, the rhythm of the German language, and how Deleuzean rhizomes can destabilize genres. We also have a bit of a preview of the upcoming Cold Waves LA festival which we'll be attending, and all manner of other updates and bon mots from the realm of darker alternatives.

The Senior Staff is back at full force! Back from vacation, Alex and Bruce are talking about records from Spetsnaz and Gatekeeper. Also on the docket is Resident Advisor's piece on EBM...which may have had some influence on our choice of albums this week. We're charged up and ready to go: I Die: You Die, you know what it is!

It's a special two-guest episode of We Have a Technical as we welcome Eric Sochocki of FIRES and Jamie Blacker of ESA to the podcast. We had the pleasure of sitting down with both artists at Terminus, and each offered insight into their history, goals and what the future might hold. Did you wonder what (highly danceable) direction FIRES might be going in? Are you wondering about the beast in the latest ESA record? Tune in true believers!

It's a very special We Have a Commentary, as for the first time ever Bruce and Alex sit down with the artist who made the album we're commenting on. Yes, Réal Cardinal joins us to talk about Hollow Worlds, his astonishing LP of post-rock and bass music flavoured IDM. Stories about it's inspiration, construction, and legacy are told, and secrets are revealed as we go over every inch of this modern classic of sound design and production!
