Lamniformes Radio Ian Cory

This week I'm joined by songwriting, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Kabir Kumar. Kabir releases music under the name Sun Kin had has a new album called "Sunset World" dropping on April 19th. We talked about that album, writing songs as drummers, what Animal Collective has in common with South Asian classical music, why harmonized guitars are like mountain climbing, and much more!

Writer Langdon Hickman and Kosmogyr singer Ivan Belcic return to Lamniformes Radio to discuss the return of drummer Mike Portnoy to the progressive metal band Dream Theater. The three of us are cursed with more Dream Theater knowledge than any man should have, and our only cure is passing that knowledge on to you. In this episode we discuss:

-How far we each fell into the Dream Theater rabbit hole
-Mike Portnoy's influence on our drumming
-Dream Theater's discography at its best and worst
-What Portnoy has been up to for the last 13 years
-What we expect from the reunion

Thanks for listening!

Ali Jaafar of Another Heave and the Zero Brightness podcast joins me to talk about Another Heaven's latest album "Heaven Sent", the Minneapolis music scene, PT Cruisers, horror, and much more!

Joseph Schafer returns yet again! This time to talk about his band Colony Drop's debut album "Brace For Impact", writing metal about anime, his influences as a lead singer, and overcoming self-doubt to release one of the year's best collections of high-speed retro metal.

This episode's guest is Cassie Weiland, a classical composer turned ambient pop artist who releases music under the name Vines. We talked about some Lamniformes Radio staples (music school, what we did during 2020 lockdown) as well as the art of covers, the intersection of art and athletics, and her new EP "Birthday Party", out on 8/18/23. Enjoy!

Frank and Jonathan return to get Podcasted in the Lamniforium once more. In the years since our first conversation The Mars Volta released a retrospective box set, then reunited with a new self titled record and a tour heavy on fan favorites. We share our thoughts on the new album, parse the contributions of the new band members, and reflect on the experiencing of seeing The Mars Volta on stage after so many years.
