Kayo Dot is a very important band to me, so it was an honor to welcome Ron Varod onto the podcast. Ron is a multi-instrumentalist who is in Kayo Dot, Sabbath Assembly and performs solo under the name Zvi. Zvi was on a tour across America supporting his new record "Deer Pink" and stopped in to share some interesting music and perspectives.
Join us as we talk about Ulver, the pros and cons of drum machines, music production and Karaoke.

Robert Hunter and I go way back. He is one of my favorite people. He and I have collaborated on many things, including Snares of Sixes, Self Spiller and my short lived label, Audio Savant, that we both struggled with years ago.
He also makes music with IHM's very own Marius Sjoli in Hollow Branches, and solo under the moniker Occulted Sound. Join Robert and I for beer, music and a few laughs.

Episode 21 - New Year's Eve 2018 Experiment
Wednesday Jan 09, 2019
Wednesday Jan 09, 2019
I believe art of any kind, should be wrought with chance operation and experiment. I also believe that podcasting is an art. With that spirit in mind, I give to you, an odd experiment I presented to the guests at my house on New Year's Eve. I set up all my podcasting gear, hit "play" on my Spotify "Your Top Songs of 2018" playlist automatically made for me by the all-knowing gods at Spotify, and invited my guests to take part, without me.
After some heavy editing of approximately 8 hours of audio, I widdled it down to the cream of the crop. Join me in listening to various people, from various age groups, reacting to a randomly generated playlist that they can only hear, not see. If you have listened to past episodes, some voices will be familiar, and others will be new.

Episode 15 - with guest Ione Walton

My daughter Ione Mira Walton. What else can be said? She has suspect taste in music for sure, but she is probably cooler than you. She appeared on the inside cover of Metal Manaics at the age of 3, she has appeared on records by Self Spiller, Snares of Sixes and even Nachtmystium. Her middle name is a bastardization of Mirai from Sigh. Yeah, she's cool, so listen to what she and I play for each other and witness how annoying we can be together.

Episode 13 - with guest Ryan Kirsch

I have shared many important memories and even more important beers with Ryan Kirsch in many different places throughout North America and Europe. Ryan has traveled thousands of miles to have the distinction of seeing Agalloch more times than anyone outside the band or crew. So, naturally, he and I became friends. On this episode Ryan and I share music and discuss French Black Metal and how horrible Chinese food in Estonia can be.

Episode 12 - with guest Russell Mikow (Red Orchard Records)

Russell Mikow not only shares a name with my dear departed Chihuahua Miko, yet regrettably spelled differently, he also runs Red Orchard Records out of Olympia, Washington. Russ came down for record night and I invited him to stay a little longer to share some music with me and chat about Australian bands, Oi music and snare hits.

Episode 11 - Part 2 with guest Ramin Hosseinabad

Saturday Apr 07, 2018
Speaking with Iranian born metal head Ramin is such a pleasure we couldn't stop at our usual time limit, so we just kept recording, and drinking. Apparently Ramin's perspective is one that fascinates as his Part 1 is the most downloaded epsiode yet and has garnered this podcast a lot of attention. This second, and last portion of our discussion, features a few more beers, and some barley wine, and yes of course, more metal.

Episode 10 - with guest Ashley Spungin (Insect Ark, Taurus)

Ashley Spungin is a very unique and undeniable force. She has been a part of bands such as Purple Rhinestone Eagle, Taurus and Insect Ark. Ashley makes noise generating oscillator pedals, she drums, and she is an all around bad ass. Her album "Marrow Hymns" by Insect Ark is out now on Profound Lore Records, and she joined me for jokes and chats about music, touring and as always, we shared music.
Closing track "Sea Harps" by Insect Ark.
