Car Con Carne James VanOsdol

“Metal Machine Muzak” is a reimagining of Lou Reed’s infamous Metal Machine Music album, curated and released by Dave Gebroe, creator and host of the Discograffiti podcast. 

 

Dave and “Metal Machine Muzak” contributor Lou Barlow (Folk Implosion, Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr.) join me to talk about the tribute (available May 3, only on the Discograffiti Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/discograffiti). 

 

Also included on the tribute: Cory Hanson (Wand), Mark Robinson (Unrest, Teenbeat Records founder) and W Cullen Hart (Olivia Tremor Control, co-founder Elephant 6 Recording Company).

 

I start with the obvious question: “Is ‘Metal Machine Music’... good?”

 

Music fans will love this episode. Dave’s a music obsessive and student of rock and roll. Lou Barlow is nothing short of an indie rock legend. Our hour-long conversation absolutely flew by.

John and Maria from gothpop duo clubdrugs join me for tacos as we talk about their super cool band (they seriously sound amazing). 

 

We also discussed our shared interest in all things horror, and basically made plans to do this again in October at a haunted house.

Stiff Little Fingers hits the road for their final U.S. tour next month, and that run will find the band at Metro on Friday May 10.

 

The legendary Irish band was there at the beginning of punk rock, burning bright for six years before breaking up (eventually restarting in 1987).

 

Stiff Little Fingers frontman Jake Burns joined me virtually for this chat that covers everything from the beginnings of the band through today.

Shortly after the release of the self-titled debut from Deep Tunnel Project, returning guest John Mohr comes on Car Con Carne to talk about it.  Besides John, the band is rounded out by:

Mike Greenless (TAR)

Jeff Dean (lots of things)

Tim Midyett (Silkworm)

We dive into the album at length during our chat. Also, if you have a “Chicago musician bingo card,” enough names get mentioned that you may walk away with a bingo just from listening to this episode.

 

John explains what the Deep Tunnel Project is in Chicago and how it ties into the band’s aesthetic approach.

 

As we chat on a rainy Thursday night, we enjoy Chicago dogs from Herm’s Palace in Skokie (3406 Dempster St.). 

 

See Deep Tunnel Project play a FREE in-store at Tone Deaf Records (4356 N. Milwaukee) on 5/11 at 3 p.m!

Imagine this… after a night out, you pull into your driveway. 

The garage light comes on. 

You open the door to the mudroom. 

The light comes on. 

Walking into the house, the kitchen light comes on.

Spotify comes alive with your favorite playlist. 

…maybe it’s not loud enough. 

One button from your phone or tablet cranks it up.

 

Your home is in sync with you. That’s what easy automation means. Experience seamless control over it all.
