Iugula-Thor – Processcenes
It’s our first episode covering an album in a while, and we landed on Iugula-Thor “Processcenes.” Originally released on BloodLust! as part of their classic tape series, Iugula-Thor’s unique and personal brand of PE carries a sinister stare. This release, along with other Iugula-Thor material, is based on the Process Church of the Final Judgement, so we also go into the history of the Process and dedicate a good chunk of this episode to that discussion. As It Is, So Be It.

In Conversation with Daniel Plunkett (ND Magazine)
We get a terrific look at operating a magazine in the 80s and 90s as Daniel Plunkett of ND Magazine sat down with us. ND started in 1982, stemming from the mail and experimental art world and moved into industrial, noise, and many other islands of sound. We get some great stories of not only putting together a magazine, but also booking John Duncan, putting together a cassette network event, and much more. In addition to having run ND, Daniel currently owns and operates End of an Ear record store in Austin, still supporting the world of underground sound.

In Conversation with Nico Vascellari (Ninos du Brasil, Codalunga)
Nico Vascellari (Ninos Du Brasil, Codalunga) was in Los Angeles, so we jumped at a chance to have a talk. We get into running a space in a very small Italian town, doing a multi week tour of private shows, enacting a 24 hour performance, navigating the underground, and more. The new Ninos Du Brasil album is available to order this week on Hospital Productions and this discussion got us all excited to shoot confetti in celebration.
