Future Echoes: Episode 003 — Brutus, Renewer, Bandhood, Oslo Tapes

March 30, 2024 22:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MB

Aaaaand I'm back! Busy, busy, busy time of year and this episode will be a quick one...which was sort of the intention in the first place. I went and saw Brutus live last week, you should not miss them if they come to your town. I also dig into Renewer, Bandhood and Oslo Tapes. Ramble on way too long about how those core memories of yours meeting your favorite bands are not core memories of theirs...sorry, they just aren't, and urge you all to go watch the KEXP session with New Age Doom. Plu...

Blynd Sub — Future Echoes: Episode 002 (New Age Doom, Limblifter, Lee "Scratch" Perry)

March 03, 2024 23:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MB

In this second episode of Future Echoes, I dig into Vancouver, BC band, New Age Doom, their newest album, There is No End, featuring Tuvaband, as well as an album they did with Lee Scratch Perry, "...Guide to the Universe". I then take a look back at their drummer's other band, who I fell in love with while living in Vancouver, Limblifter. You should also check out Mounties, if you dig Limblifter. Plus, we cover some news, tours, new album announcements and so much more!  I also dig into u...

Blynd Subs - Future Echoes: Episode 001

February 25, 2024 01:00 - 32 minutes - 22.7 MB

Not really a "welcome back" but more of a "JD got bored and needed to ramble out loud to himself about music". The point of Future Echoes — surprisingly, not an homage to Slomatics, but I do love them — is to have fun remembering great music from the past and digging into the new what next!  Showing us old folks that great music is certainly still being made, you  just got too busy to search it out, and hopefully introducing you young'uns to bands that influenced who you listen to today.  Wi...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 85: Scott Evans from Kowloon Walled City

October 25, 2022 02:00 - 2 hours - 89.5 MB

We're back. Descriptions will be shorter.  Maybe we won't have a new episode every week...maybe we will. Scott Evans from Kowloon Walled City and Antisleep Audio was a fantastic guess...kept us on track and off tangents, and has touched (teehee) so many past guests. Enjoy! Oh...and bands...please put credits on your bandcamp. Production, art, whoever should be acknowledged, even if you did it all yourself. Carry on.

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 84: Andy Gibbs from Thou

June 16, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

We had a lovely sit-down this week with Andy Gibbs, guitar player for Thou. Andy is a thoughtful chap and has been in the heavy game for a long time. We talked about how/why Thou has been so prolific, what it was like to record a Tiny Desk concert, working with friends on collaborations, playing festivals, and the true nature of Louisiana sludge (hint, it's not the swamp). Enjoy! Thou https://thou.bandcamp.com/ This Week's Submissions Tropism https://tropism.bandcamp.com/releases CANDLE$...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 83: Andrew Bansal from Metal Assault

June 06, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 75.7 MB

This week we chat with Andrew Bansal...man of all the hats. Record label owner, popular review blog, band manager, tour manager, merch lord, and as it turns out, harmonium player! Andrew wrapped up a coast-to-coast tour with Old Blood earlier this year, and went back out on the road selling merch for Exodus on the Bay Strikes Back! tour. This is a wonderful conversation with a person who journeyed from rural India to LA and ended up chasing a bunch of heavy metal dreams. Enjoy! Metal Assaul...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 82: Justin Rogers from Disrupt the Paradigm (AKA Sweets)

May 31, 2022 02:00 - 1 hour - 76.6 MB

We've talked about him. He listens to every episode. He loves Korn. Ladies and Gentlemen...Sweets himself...Justin Rogers from Disrupt the Paradigm. Justin is a delight, his band just put out a record this spring, and this episode is just straight-up hilarious.

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 81: Alyssa Maucere 2 (Lord Dying, Tattoos, art)

May 23, 2022 18:00 - 2 hours - 108 MB

She baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! In November of 2020 (episode 10) we had a fantastic chat with Lord Dying bass player, tattoo artist, and general artist/video wiz Alyssa Maucere. It was a blast talking to Alyssa again...we talked about what she's been up to since last we spoke including preparing to record a new Lord Dying record in August, playing shows, making music videos, existing in this insane world, how great ISIS (the band) is...and then she discovers her new favorite band...DURING THIS EPS...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 80: Todd Severin from Ripple Music and Rebel Wave Records

May 16, 2022 18:00 - 2 hours - 85.6 MB

Not much to say, other than this was a long time coming. Enjoy a wide-ranging conversation with DJ, eye-surgeon, music lover, and owner of Ripple Music and Rebel Wave Records, Todd Severin.

We talked about the writing process for the next KOOK record,...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 78: On the Road with Jeff and JD...Swanfest!!!

April 25, 2022 02:00 - 1 hour - 52.9 MB

We have something different this week. We attended our first music festival in over two years, and hung out with the fine gentlemen in Moon Tooth!!! It was weird and glorious...so we decided to record on the way (and back) in the car. We listened to all the bands on the undercard and gave our two cents...most we had never listened to before. Because we recorded in the car...the quality is not quite our usual...especially for the first 30 seconds or so...but HANG IN THERE...it gets better. We...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 77: Jessica Ball from MWWB (formerly Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard)

April 18, 2022 04:00 - 2 hours - 89.3 MB

We have quite a treat today...all the way from Cardiff Wales, it's Jessica Ball, MWWB's singer and guitar player. We talked about growing up in South Africa and moving back to Wales, studying jazz guitar, how the band was formed, how they got such a cheeky name, and dealing with guitar player Paul's serious health issues. We got some dirt on her other band Eye, and listened to a spectacular set of submissions. MWWB https://mammothweedwizardbastard.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mamm...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 76: Andy Patterson from The Otolith

April 11, 2022 04:00 - 2 hours - 95.6 MB

He's back! Another round of wild stories, a new segment we'll call "old high school photos with Andy", a Reverse Punisher(TM), a discussion about what NOT to do at soundcheck when you're opening for Sleep, and an absolute boatload of music, including music from Venezuelan band zeta who's van was robbed in San Francisco just days ago...support all the bands you like! Oh, and we're pretty sure this episode is proof that the simulation is real. The Otolith https://desertrecords.bandcamp.com/tr...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 75: Max Malmer from Cavern Deep and Karmanjaka

April 05, 2022 02:00 - 2 hours - 93 MB

He's back! Max joined us again from frosty Sweden to talk about the Northern Lights, not having to work for a few weeks, making a text-based adventure game, whether Ikea is legit, he other band (besides Cavern Deep) Karmanjaka, records, instruments, beer, and who knows what else (you will, once you listen). Plus you fine folks will be the first people to listen to a big chunk of a song of Cavern Deep's yet-to-b-released second album featuring vocals from Susie McMullen from Brume! It's so d...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 74: Jordan Perkins Lewis from Brume

March 28, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

Adult human stuff happened, but now it's podcast time again (we explain right at the beginning)! This week's guest was a long time coming...the final member of Brume, Drummer Jordan Perkins Lewis. Jordan is a fantastic drummer with crazy eclectic musical taste, a wild upbringing among the blue-collar workers in the movie business, and a badass job producing videos, TV content, and working the scoreboard graphics for the San Francisco Giants. He's also not shy with his opinions, as you will q...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 73: Youtube - Theory Nerds and Boomer Bends

February 21, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 72.7 MB

And now for something completely different. Jeff is a regular consumer of dorky music theory content and weird boomer guitar videos on YouTube. JD is not. Jeff was quite sure JD would hate all of it, and he was right...kinda. Watch JD learn what polyrhythms are in real time...it's fun. Plus we tackle boomer bends, Rick Beato, the mystery that is YouTube's obsession with the Polyphia song GOAT, and much more. Bands! Submit one song (preferably from Bandcamp) to [email protected] and we'll t...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 72: Melynda Jackson from Eight Bells

February 14, 2022 03:00 - 2 hours - 101 MB

She came up on the last episode while we were talking to Mike Scheidt, we love Eight Bells, and they have a new album releasing called Legacy of Ruin on February 25th via Prophecy Productions, so we thought what better time have on vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Melynda Jackson, and she was awesome. Melynda is one of the long list of stalwart underground heavy musicians from the bay area who relocated to Portland to escape rising cost of living and decreasing opportunity...we talk about...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 71: Mike Scheidt from Yob

February 07, 2022 01:00 - 3 hours - 144 MB

Nothing really needs to be said here. Mike graced us with over 3 hours of his time to tell stories, laugh, listen to music,  discuss the stonerrock.com forums, and talk about the almost incomprehensible ascendance of Yob to the metal pantheon. Our main takeaway after talking with Mike? This is a great guy who simply loves music. Also, the discussion of his new classical composition is awesome. Yob's got 4 shows at Saint Vitus in February followed by a west coast tour in March...go see them i...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 70: Nick and Keith from Dumb Waiter

January 28, 2022 06:00 - 2 hours - 89.4 MB

First they submitted music, then they sent us records, then we picked them as part of our best of 2021...ladies and Gentlemen...Dumb Waiter. The most confusing thing to come out of Virginia since (insert clever history joke here). Dolly Pardon. Understanding Bungle late in life. Heavy music in Virgina. Not fitting in with other bands. Screenprinting and weird music videos. Also death to Spotify, Bandcamp FOREVER!!!! Dumb Waiter https://dumbwaiterva.bandcamp.com/album/tsk https://www.faceboo...

January 17, 2022 20:00 - 2 hours - 97.7 MB

Plack Blague (aka Raws Schlesinger) joins us to talk about his particular brand of grimy electronic/industrial dance/not dance music, growing up gay in rural Nebraska, getting into music, booking and playing grindcore shows (he plays guitar, bass, drums, and sings too), and just generally about loving anything that is weird and fringe. In his own words..."if you throw up on your keyboard, I want to book you", or something like that. What a wonderful conversation with a truly great undergroun...

We really did break the 4 hour mark with John from Moon Tooth. We shared our favorite music discovered in 2021 and listened to FULL songs.

Happy 2022 folks. Support DIY musicians and artists, because shit didn't get much better this year. Moon Tooth: https://moontoothny.bandcamp.com/ Video for The Conduit:...

Steve's channel helps break down stoner, sludge, and doom songs, bands, and gear...his goal is to de-mystify doom and help folks play the songs and get the tones. How does Matt Pike do it?

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 61: Daxma

November 29, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MB

This episode nearly killed us. Want to hear Jeff and JD both have a stroke in one episode? Here you go! We talk to Forrest, Isaac, and Jessica, 3/4s of Oakland's ambient doomgaze choose-you-own-label band Daxma, who just released a new record called Unmarked Boxes on Blues Funeral Recordings. 15 minutes in to our first attempt to record, Jeff realized he didn't hit record on Zoom again.

November 16, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 64.8 MB

We're back  celebrating Pop's memory by pulling random records and listening to songs/bands we've never heard of. One thing's for sure after the second round....Pop REALLY was a man who liked his music smooth! Jeff got served up some random awesome bands by the Spotify algorithm (I know, we were shocked too), so he made JD blind listen to The Odious, Thank You Scientist, and Rishloo, plus we tease next week's guest John Brookhouse (Worshipper, Gimme Metal Radio) and listen to a killer Worshi...

Blynd Submyshynz Episode 58: Marc Brandi from Lowcaster and Mustard Gas & Roses

November 08, 2021 19:00 - 2 hours - 84.5 MB

WE GOT A DO-OVER FOR LAST WEEK'S GOOF. Marc Brandi is a gentleman, scholar, and wicked funny musician who was nice enough to re-join us only a week after we forgot to push record on his first episode. We're forever in your debt Marc. Lowcaster is Marc's bay area heavy prog home, and he's also a permanent member of MG&R (formed by Michael Gallagher from Isis). We listened to lots of music and laughed a lot, and made fun of Jeff a lot. Lowcaster https://lowcaster.bandcamp.com/album/flames-ari...

Well...57 episodes in and it finally happened...Jeff didn't press all the record buttons and our wonderful 2 hour chat with Marc Brandi from Lowcaster and Mustard Gas and Roses is gone...at least Marc's part is gone. We may be able to salvage the recording at a later date for comedy purposes...and a new episode with Marc will be up next Monday. This week, we reassembled the full Trevor Church interview from Episode 11-12. They never should have been 2 episodes, and far fewer people listened ...

We've got a bit of a fun departure this week...Jeff inherited a record collection, so we decided to celebrate Pop's memory by pulling random records and listening to songs/bands we've never heard of.

Sacha Dunable of Dunable Guitars and Intronaut sat down with Jay and Thomas from JML guitars to talk about building guitars, and their collaboration building 8 one-of-a-kind guitars featuring Dunable's shapes, electronics, and finishes on top of JML's hand carved neck-through construction.

To celebrate the one year anniversary of the podcast, it only seemed fitting to catch up with some of our favorite people: Pete Holland from Elephant Tree and Trippy Wicked, Susie McMullen from Brume, and for the first time ever, Jamie McCathie (also from Brume). There was some guitar playing, some sharing of must-listen-to bands, a bit of banter, some righteous feminism, and as always, some submissions.

The Man Man Record Dream Hunting in the Valley of the In-Between was one of Jeff's favorite records in 2020, and he also shares a deep love of Mr. Bungle.

Henry is charming, thoughtful, and funny...and even gets out his only guitar (an 80s BC Rich Mockingbird) to noodle for a minute. House of Lightning https://houseoflightnin...
