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.

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.

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

RIP Jon Cook of Crain (not to mention Rodan, Cerebellum and Parlour) and Reg Presley of The Troggs.

There are some live and unreleased Crain tracks up on the Chunklet site.

This piece by Michael of Sleepyhead about visiting Louisville for the first time on his path to becoming an artist is a must-read.

Cook behind the drums for the final Rodan show.

For more on tonight’s live guest Trummors visit their Tumblr, become a fan on Facebook or follow them on Twitter.

Next week Waxhatachee will be performing on the program!
