I Hate Music

Episode 66 - Halloween, Bands That Were an Acquired Taste, and Time Traveling for Music

Nick and Jason kick off the episode by catching up a bit before getting into some fascinating and terrifying listener emails.  They then dive into the theme of Halloween in music, which of course, devolves into related themes such as Fall and Horror films.   Discussions of time traveling for the sake of witnessing historic moments in musical history and which bands took some getting used to for Jason round out the episode.

A couple of new segments are introduced and we play some songs related to the discussions as well.

Episode 65 - Climate Change, Concert Etiquette, and ”It Was a Different Time.”

You can't deny this episode.  From protest music of the '60's, to punk, thrash metal, and grindcore, musicians and artists have been warning us about climate change for decades, but why aren't we listening?  We have no idea but we sure love the music.  We discuss politics in music and environmentally aware bands like Nuclear Assault, and D.R.I, as well as discuss climate changes within music such as the "Weirding of Norway" or when metal bands turned to alternative music in the '90's for inspiration.

We play a few of our favorite songs that fit within the aforementioned topics, and discuss pressing issues like the best first date metal concerts, concert etiquette, and tolerance of bands evolving into something that they weren't initially.

Episode 64 - Don’t Call it a Comeback!

I Hate Music is back!  After a much needed vacation, we finally got sick of putting our feet up and sipping on cocktails and decided we missed this too much to retire permanently.  During our vacation we had a lot of time to reflect, and ponder our history and what we are doing.  We realized we needed something different, something to revitalize our spirits and inspire us to move further into uncharted waters.  So, we are back with a new format, new goals, new ideas - and a co-host!  

Please welcome to IHM as our new co-host, Nick Wusz.  Nick is an old friend, and we have attended many concerts together, we have travelled together, raised our kids together, had many good times and hard times together and we are thrilled to have him on board.  You may know him best from heading up acoustic doom band Dolven, or from his whistling work in Sculptured, but now you can add this podcast to his resume as well.  

In this episode we discuss reunions.  Why they happen, and can they be good?  We play a couple of songs from bands that did it right, and discuss other bands that maybe didn't do it so well.  So, join us for "less rock, more talk" and walk with us into this next chapter.

Episode 63 - Tanner Anderson (Obsequiae, Panopticon, Celestiial)

Tanner Anderson.  I hate the word talent, but people like Tanner make me rethink my aversion to the concept.  I've been fortunate enough to call Tanner a friend for quite awhile now, and am overjoyed to watch him evolve and grow as an artist particularly with Obsequiae.  If you like "Non Serviam", with a touch of "Skydancer", and a sprinkle of "His Majesty at the Swamp," and if you don't need me to tell you what bands made those records, this episode, this band, and this man, are for you.

Tanner also treats us to an exclusive premiere of a new Obsequiae song, just for I Hate Music!  So, please pass the aux to Tanner, and join us as we discuss Pizza Thrash, tons of obscure records, why the demo is always better, and the relevance of Dungeon Synth in 2022.

Episode 62 - Daniel Lake (Author of USBM)

Daniel Lake is a contributor to Decibel Magazine, but as of late, he has been more in the public eye due to his book, USBM.  The book dives into the motivations, histories, and music of a number of heavy hitters in the United States Black Metal scene, and I wanted to learn more about his process of researching and writing this gem.  

So, please pass the aux to Daniel, and join us as we talk about black metal, travel, thrash metal, and Satan.

Episode 61 - Pete Lee (Lawnmower Deth)

Lawnmower Deth.  Often ignored, usually misunderstood, but has been a staple in my ears and in my heart since the early '90s.  The boys from Nottingham took quite the hiatus and are back with a new album after a 28 year gap; their first record since 1993's "Billy."  In this episode I talk with Pete Lee, vocalist for Lawnmower Deth, and we listen to a couple new songs, an old song, and discuss various things such as bread rolls, the importance of the Grindcrusher comp, Dan Seagrave, and why the band took such a long break.

So, pass the aux to Pete, and join us for a delightfully punk/thrash conversation and hear why Lawnmower are better than ever!

Closing song "Raise your Snails" from the upcoming Lawnmower Deth album 'Blunt Cutters' out January 28th on Cherry Red Records.

Episode 60 - Dylan Neal (Thief)

On Episode 46, Dylan Neal of Thief came on the show and played us a bunch of crazy music.  This time, Dylan and I sit down and listen to the new Thief album recently released by Prophecy Productions entitled "The 16 Deaths of my Master." Dylan shares with us production techniques, reveals hidden gems within the songs, and we discuss the themes and ideas within the music.

This is, without a doubt, my album of the year, and has been in constant rotation at my house, and in my car, as well as being incessantly in my head.  Dylan is a fascinating person, an engaging artist, and "The 16 Deaths of my Master" is a staggering work of heartbreaking genius.

Please pass the aux to Dylan, and join us as we discuss our teenage years, geek out over plug-ins and VSTs, and delve into the world of Thief.

Episode 59 - Karl Cordtz (Feral Season, Occlith, CHRCH)

Feral Season is good.  Feral Season is damn good.  The band's debut album, "Rotting Body In The Range Of Light," out on Profound Lore records harkens back to the second wave of Norwegian Black Metal, but without truly biting the style, or sound.   Karl and I delve into a couple songs off of the album, discuss the writing process and the themes behind the record, an manage to listen to some of his doom-death band, Occlith, as well.

So pass the aux to Karl, and join us as we nerd out over Enslaved, Mayhem, EVPs, and absolutely gush over the new Cannibal Corpse record.
