...Jake left early AGAIN, so that last bit of post-punk is all me. Dunno what we're doing next week.

...and last, but certainly not least, here is Forte from this past Friday night, featuring a brief interview with Josh Martin and Seth Putnam from Anal Cunt. I filled out most of the show with AxCx tracks and tracks by bands they like. If you don't know who these guys are, that's your loss. They've provided me with countless hours of humor and headbanging since early high school, and I own all their records, so obviously it was really cool to sit down and chat with them. Really nice guys, too (surprisingly).

Once again, the podcasts are not up, but I will make note on this page as soon as the interview is up. It should be on the 'WIDR INTERVIEWS' podcast page in its unedited form sometime soon. I had to do a ton of 'bleeps' to be able to play it on the air. But, here's the playlist for now anyhow:

Society's Fault Episode 30-something and Forte 22, plus Sykotik Sinfoney's album 'Eargasm'

Wow, so I kinda stopped posting here for about a month....I'm just posting this past week's radio programs because there were a lotta half-assed ones in-between. You can check out the Society's Fault and Forte podcast pages to hear them all, but I don't feel like typing out all those playlists. Actually, on closer inspection, it looks like the podcasts haven't been updated in a while. They'll be up eventually, though.

For now, here's the SF playlist. Add'l material provided by Coma Nova's new drummer, Jacob:
Proto-punk:
Pink Fairies - Street Urchin
Peter Hammill - Red Shift
Destroy All Monsters - These Boots are Made for Walking
Faust - Picnic on a Frozen River (Deuxieme Tableux)
Todd Rundgren - Piss Aaron
Dick Dale - Death of a Gremmie

Husker Du - I'll Never Forget You
Husker Du - The Biggest Lie
Husker Du - What's Going On
Husker Du - Masochism World

Sonic Youth - Titanium Expose
The Cure - Icing Sugar

Jandek - Corner of the Street
The Raincoats - The Void
Sunny Day Real Estate - Friday

Allllllright, on to Forte. I had lots of new stuff built up for this week, including a brand new release by legendary doom-metallers Pentagram. This album is special because it's the reunion of the guitarist and the vocalist or something. I dunno. Pentagram changes members like most people change underwear. I just know this is the most rockingest shit I've heard these fellas do in a long time. Some of this album rivals mid-80's stuff even. It doesn't come close to the 60's and 70's demos, but what does? Anyhow, the album is called 'Last Rites' and I would strongly advise you to pick it up.

Playlist:
Moonreich - En Marche Sur Nos Terres
Death Axe - Night of the Slayers
Pentagram - Walk in the Blue Light
Pentagram - Call the Man
Pentagram - Death in the 1st Person
Pentagram - Treat Me Right
Pentagram - Be Forewarned (request)

Leatherwolf - Bad Moon Rising
Shining - 21st Century Schizoid Man

Voodoo Mule - Lettuce Storm
God Macabre - Ashes of Mourning Life
Sigh - Dies Irae/The Master Malice
Brotherhood of Sleep - Into Our Sea of Melting Dreams

Beelzeb - Mislaid in the Weird Labyrinth of Mirrors
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera (request)
Sepultura - Ratamahatta
Botch - Swimming the Channel Vs. Driving the Chunnel
Deep Purple - Highway Star (Live)

...and lastly, I've finally got another download for y'all.
It's not very often that I find an album that's a) really cool and b) so goddamn obscure that I can't even find it. So, to start off, I was watching a b-grade science fiction film called 'Bad Channels' (it's a Full Moon pictures...more on this in the weeks to come, because I'm hopefully going to write an article comparing Full Moon with Troma Studios). The plot largely involves music, and there were a couple of what I would call music videos throughout the movie. One of these was by the rather unfortunately-named group Sykotik Sinfoney. Okay, so anybody in their right mind would probably see this band name and not even give them the time of day. But, in this case, I saw/heard them before reading the credits and finding out who they were.

I figured it would be something easy to go download, but surprisingly, there is very little info on these guys online. They were 'ahead of their time,' according to their own crappy homepage, and they have recently released a compilation of all their recordings called 'Eargasm,' which I am bringing to you now. Apparently they didn't have any proper releases in their heyday (the early '90's) aside from the 'Bad Channels' soundtrack.

So then. On to the music. The first thing I thought, upon seeing these guys decked out in goofy costumes and playing a combo of thrash, funk, circus and hair metal, was that they were a poor man's Mr. Bungle. The lyrics are often laughably bad, and the tempo/time changes are executed kinda clumsily, but goddamn, these guys actually write some pretty good tunes. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, these recordings are mostly from the late 80's/1990, and Mr. Bungle's first proper LP wasn't released until '91 or '92. Sooooo, either these fellas were big on local Eureka, CA bands, or they just happened to be influenced by the same groups that influenced Bungle (Oingo Boingo is a definite point of reference, as is early Chili Peppers, Frank Zappa, Slayer, GWAR, Devo, Funkadelic and Pantera). Whatever the case, this compilation is definitely worth a spin, and there was an alt-metal group called D.M.T. on the 'Bad Channels' soundtrack that was pretty decent, too. No luck finding their album, however.

Sykotik Sinfoney - Eargasm

Tracklist:

1. Mr. Cool
2. Posers
3. Gardeners from Hell
4. Ignorance
5. Maggots with Guns
6. Sex Sells
7. Life
8. Cake Fuck
9. Brain Dead
10. Stupid
11. Daddy Long Legs
12. Manic Depresso (I'm So Happy)
13. Little Ol' Lady Polka
14. Gumby

NOTE: The tracklisting on my upload is all screwed up cuz it's the only download I could find. It's pretty easy to figure out which song is which by what they say in the chorus, but the titles/order/etc. are completely wrong. Oh well, it's the music that counts.

Forte 20, featuring Epitaph's EP 'These Rotten Remains'

Couldn't find much info on these guys...apparently they're from Illinois. The EP is kind of like what a thrash metal album played by Jesus Lizard or Shellac might sound like. Odd, jerky rhythms, buzzsaw guitars, and a singer who really doesn't sound like a thrash vocalist at all. I dunno. I thought it was kinda neat, and it was only a 4-song EP, so I played the whole thing. Also of note was the fact that I got a shit-ton of requests in the last half of the show.
