So, you may have missed it with all the commotion the last couple of weeks, but our very good friend Brad Schumacher aka Night Grinder, recently relocated to Denver from St. Louis, has released a smoking hot new album entitled "Immediate Content".  It's noise, it's techno, it's fusion, it's uncategorizable, and most of all it's GROOVY AS FUCK.  You can purchase a digital copy (in your choice of file format) for $8 at https://thenightgrinder.bandcamp.com/ however, if you like vinyl, spend at l...

It already seems like it has been ages and ages since NOISECAMP, even though we only powered down the Noisedonut™ and left Interfuse a mere 24 days ago.  Here is the first audio selection from the second iteration of our experimental foray into mass punitive sonic endurance and synchronistic audience participation.  This recording took place shortly before the effigy burn on Saturday, as our section of campground was still reeling and winding down from a massive "all comers" jam session.  Bra...

April 14, 2014 15:58 - 14 minutes - 33.6 MB

It's already been a busy year for Jaded Evil Lambs.  In addition to the work on this here podcast and all the UnderCurrent editing and arrangement and preparing for this year's iteration of Noisecamp at the regional Burning Man event Interfuse, our man Davelybob managed to squeeze in releasing a new collection of Jaded Evil Lambs recordings ("Left To Their Own Devices", available on bandcamp.com), and somehow got roped into playing a unexpected series of shows that have been highly fruitful, ...

snacktime - undercurrent #2 side c

Tonight is the third show in the Undercurrent concert series at the Schlafly Tap Room, and the release of the second Undercurrent mix cassette with audio taken from last month's show.  We've realized in assembling these tasty plastic morsels that 20 minutes per side leaves a lot on the cutting room floor, and barely gives you room to stretch your leathery wings.  So starting this month we are offering a digital Side C continuing where the tape left off.  Enjoy! Tracklist: (banter) The Funs...

snacktime - kcor retsbol

February 19, 2014 07:46 - 4 minutes - 6.69 MB

have you ever wondered what "rock lobster" sounded like backwards? well now you can go ahead and scratch that off your list (presumably, you can now die happy).  it's actually kinda cool and utterly bonkers.  and if you were feeling bad about the way your life is going, now you know that this dumb shit is how dingus spends his free time.  doesn't seem so bad now, huh?

John Beabout (maybe you know his band Stonechat?) sat down at the piano on the first day of this year's edition of Noisefest at the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center, and gave us what was perhaps the most atypical performance of what was already an atypical festival.  He calls this piece "A Pitiful Statement".  Recorded by Dingus with his Zoom recording thingus on 11/1/2013.

the eggnogs were a band from iowa city, iowa.  davelybob saw them at the way out club with the phonocaptors years and years ago.  the singer looked just like him but a head shorter, so everyone went around calling davelybob "evil sam" all night.  their record had a bunch of fun songs on it.  a lot of them were absolutely horrible to think about, just like this one.  that's right, a pterodactyl just shit down your chimney.  merry fucking christmas.

snacktime - darin gray, tatsuya nakatani, & vanessa skantze

November 07, 2013 15:22 - 50 minutes - 115 MB

For the second portion (and main event) of the evening, Darin & Tatsuya were joined by butoh dancer Vanessa Skantze, who gave a truly beautiful, haunting, and mesmerizing performance (other adjectives used that evening also included "gut-wrenching," "grotesque," and "horrifying").  Butoh, if you didn't know, is a subversive, confrontational, and often painfully awkward style of dance that emerged in post-WWII Japan after a series of student riots.  Tom Hill's video of the performance is well ...

snacktime - darin gray & tatsuya nakatani

October 25, 2013 17:15 - 15 minutes - 35.1 MB

It physically pained Dingus to sit on this snacktime so long, but we were saving it for a special occasion.  Legendary St. Louis bassist Darin Gray (Dazzling Killmen, Grand Ulena, On Fillmore, etc) and NYC-based percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani (as shining an example of a man living his dream as you are likely to ever meet) unleashed this rumbling, shuddering, improvisational maelstrom a little over a year ago (10/4/2012) at Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center.  Darin is currently on tour with the li...

snacktime - will to nothingness

October 12, 2012 21:09 - 7 minutes - 10.8 MB

Adolph Bunyan & The Nazi Lumberjacks is up in this piece!  This track was a live brap by HLIC (head lumberjack in charge) Davelybob, with special guest Ra3ndy (accomplished visual artist and board game designer), and will be featured on one of the two Bunyan albums that D-Bob is currently polishing for release (and has been for quite some time now, to be honest).  Once that feat is accomplished, the AB+TNL moniker will be shelved indefinitely in favor of his new project Jaded Evil Lambs, not ...

snacktime - charlie @ lemp 8.8.12

October 10, 2012 11:25 - 13 minutes - 17.9 MB

Your pal and ours, one Mr. Charlie Turner  (née moneybags) doing what he does best.  This one starts with a nice throbbing, pulsing drone, and ends up in unrelenting tormented spasms of howling glitchery.  Oh my goodness, indeed.

snacktime - the yellow five

October 06, 2012 15:20 - 14 minutes - 20 MB

There's a lot of stlpunk.com nostalgia going on right now.  So here's one of Dingus's old favorites, the "Rock Star" EP by The Yellow Five.  It's peppy, catchy, sloppy fun circa 2002.  Because there's nothing more pure at heart than a high school ska band. Tracklist: 1.  My Life 2. Super Monkey Toenail Flesh 3. Same Old Line 4. Iron Curtain 5. Spontaneous Erection (full disclosure, we re-EQed this a bit for the podcast)

snacktime - taka o'lueken, ajay khanna, mike pagano, & sean burk

This four way battle royale of analog persuasion was recorded by Dingus at  the "Spend an Evening With  Tapes" event on  3.14.2012 at Floating Laboratories, which is apparently no longer a place.   Dingus misses that joint already,  and wishes he  had spent more time there.

May 24, 2012 17:56 - 6 minutes - 9.61 MB

Friend of the show Swim Ignorant Fire released this precocious little gem earlier this week with the following narrative: "I thought I had lost all of the tapes from my first tape recorder when I was in 3rd grade or so (1994?) but this snippet was recently found on an old dying hard drive of mine. This is probably the earliest recording of myself doing any kind of unintentional tape manipulation as well as my own ADD fueled entertainment for myself. I took this white tape everywhere, and re...
