Presenting 21 incredibly angry songs about Margaret Thatcher.

RIP Annette Funicello. She’s got the hits.

Follow that with a preview of something off the forthcoming Life Coach full length, a new David Kilgour & The Heavy Eights track, the complete Sun May Find demos, six different LAMC split singles, a complete Police Teeth album and a Canadian group I was unfamiliar with previously called Slates.

Finally, check out some previews of songs off the Dead Trend record.

This Wednesday night! An interview with “Couldn’t You Wait” director Seth Pomeroy!


After a two week hiatus I’m back on 103.3 fm WPRB this Wednesday night and I’ve got a special program in store!

I’ll be interviewing director Seth Pomeroy about his documentary Couldn’t You Wait?: The Story Of Silkworm.

Nearly seven years in the making, Pomeroy’s tremendous film about one of America’s great rock bands (which includes interviews with Steve Albini, Jeff Tweedy, Stephen Malkmus and Gerard Cosloy among others) was released last month to universal acclaim.

In a nearly 80 minute conversation that will air for the first time this Wednesday evening at 8:00 pm ET, Pomeroy and I talk extensively about the development of this project, the obstacles encountered along the way and their mutual love of Silkworm’s impressive body of work.

Selections from the Silkworm catalogue are added throughout for good measure. I think you’re really going to enjoy it.

You can purchase a DRM-free download of Couldn’t You Wait? for just $5 but there are hours of impressive bonus features available at the $10 and $20 levels.

You can learn more on the film’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

Here’s this week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during last night’s radio show.

Let’s go through the program in chronological order, starting with a story about Mingering Mike’s collection being acquired by the Smithsonian.

Free downloads (part one): A full Amateur Party record, a couple Meshuggah tracks, the latest by Instamatic and a new Screaming Females tune.

Steve Albini’s appearance on the Low Times Podcast is what led me to seek out Tot Rocket & The Twins.

Free downloads (part two): The ‘Mericans cover Small Factory, a 1974 demo from Death, something off the forthcoming new Low album, more by the prolific Book-Burners and a new Barn Owl cut.
