    006: "Cloud City" feat. Coley Dennis (Maserati, Red Dwarf Star)

    Today I’m talking to COLEY DENNIS, guitarist & founding member of the Athens, GA rock band MASERATI. They’ve covered tons of sonic territory, from post-hardcore to electronic to psychedelia to heavy disco to space rock & beyond. He’s also got a new loud & dreamy rock project called RED DWARF STAR, beaming in from Lausanne, Switzerland where he now lives. In this episode, we talk about the culture shock of the expatriate life, plugging into the early 2000s Athens music scene, & the striking harmony of the light & heavy. **** TIMESTAMPS: 02:05 // “This is a Sight We Had One Day from the Mountain” (Maserati) 03:09 // Switzerland 05:42 // Athens ‘00s 11:36 // Maserati Then & Now 15:23 // Red Dwarf Star 18:05 // “Lady Aurora Borealis” (R.D.S.) 22:27 // HUM on MTV 27:29 // Inlet & Enter the Mirror 30:31 // “Wallwalker” (Maserati) 32:03 // “Cloud City” Discussion **** “Cloud City” @ AV Fest // 2011 **** Hosted on Acast.

  2. 005: "Boy with Stick" feat. Tom Mullen (Washed Up Emo)

    13 ENE

    005: "Boy with Stick" feat. Tom Mullen (Washed Up Emo)

    Today I'm talking to TOM MULLEN from WASHED UP EMO. Tom’s been in the music business for decades, doing digital marketing, executive work, & an array of creative projects at labels like Vagrant, TVT, Equal Vision, Sony, & others.  He started the Washed Up Emo website in 2007, & has since expanded it into a podcast with over 250 episodes, a book series, & a DJ night. In this episode, we talk about how the changing media landscape of the late 90s & early 2000s intersected with alternative music culture, the ambivalence around "Midwest emo" as sub-genre & brand, & where Hum might fit within that specific context. We also explore one of the band’s most beloved b-sides, looking at its strange place in their discography. Where does it truly belong? **** SMILE POLITELY Interview: Matt Talbott **** TIMESTAMPS: 02:16 // Booking Hopesfall & Saves the Day 05:00 // Early Podcasting Landscape 13:43 // Curiosity & Connection 17:35 // Washed Up Emo Podcast 20:15 // "Midwest Emo,” the Anachronism 24:19 // HUM re Emo 34:27 // WRUV, MTV, & the Cat's Cradle 36:37 // The Quiet-Loud 39:52 // Pre-YPAA Sessions 46:45 // DIH Reissue Playback @ Sony 51:45 // "Boy with Stick" Discussion **** Other songs: Deftones, "Minerva" // Title Fight: "Head in the Ceiling Fan" **** Hosted on Acast.

    004: "Baby, Baby" feat. Sven J. (Champaign is also a Band Podcast)

    Today I’m talking to Sven, the host of CHAMPAIGN IS ALSO A BAND. His show takes a hyper-focused look at songwriters from the Champaign-Urbana music scene (past & present), & each episode tells the story of a song with the people who wrote it.  HUM fans should definitely check out his interviews with RICK from POSTER CHILDREN & the guys from TERMINUS VICTOR, both linked below. He also runs a tape label called FAILED POEM RECORDS, which features local C-U musicians & donates all proceeds to a charity of the band’s choosing. In this episode, we talk about the sonic mystique of college towns, the raw materials of songwriting, & why neglected b-sides can be so important. **** TIMESTAMPS: 02:27 // CIAB Podcast & C-U Scene 08:09 // College Town Aura 12:39 // Poster Children & Terminus Victor 19:46 // Sunday Songwriter Snakepit & MT Live 24:16 // "Baby, Baby" Discussion **** CIAB Episodes: https://champaignisalsoaband.podbean.com/e/episode-100-rick-valentin-of-poster-children-he-s-my-star https://champaignisalsoaband.podbean.com/e/ep127-scott-kimble-don-king-of-terminus-victor-this-isnt-real https://champaignisalsoaband.podbean.com/e/episode-8-isaac-arms-of-withershins-fire-flies **** Failed Poem Records https://failedpoemrecords.bandcamp.com/album/infringement **** Other songs: Ween, "Sarah" **** Hosted on Acast.

  5. 002: "Aphids" feat. James Branscome (Cinematic Void) & Nick Vance (Double Life, Kent State, Deep Sleep)

    002: "Aphids" feat. James Branscome (Cinematic Void) & Nick Vance (Double Life, Kent State, Deep Sleep)

    Today I’m talking to NICK VANCE & JIM BRANSCOME, from the CINEMATIC VOID PODCAST.  CINEMATIC VOID is a beloved cult film series that runs weekly in Los Angeles through the American Cinematheque. It features gonzo gems from all genres, including horror, sci-fi, Eurotrash, transgressive exploitation classics, & lesser-known oddities. Nick & Jim have also been in many bands -- some together, some apart -- & you can find links to those projects below.  In this episode, we talk about coming up in the Baltimore punk scene, the ambivalent return of guitar music, & the journey into a close encounter of the insect kind. I encourage you guys to join the episode discussions at R/HUM on Reddit. I’m curious to get your takes, alternate interpretations, & general thoughts. These episodes are just a starting point.

They amuse us without difficulty. It’s just like watching an old vintage film played back slowly & backwards.  Maybe more like water slowly draining from a bathtub.   I like it here & enjoy being around aphids on a daily basis. I'm not sure if I'm their God, or they are mine. Sometimes I can actually hear their sounds emanating from the little old cracks in the wood. As if they’re walking around. It sounds like a song.  When it starts, it's like our cats jumping on the bed. They seem so content; not a worry in the world. All unhappiness is left at home in the dark crevices of the water well. It just goes to show, one does not really have to be alone. // Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    001: "Afternoon with the Axolotls" feat. Matt McGuyer (Amblare, Mock Orange, Off-Ox)

    Joining me today from Evansville, IN is the multi-instrumentalist, rock ‘n’ roll polymath, & all-around super-talented dude, MATT MCGUYER. He's on guitar & vocals in AMBLARE, guitar & backing vocals in MOCK ORANGE, drums in OFF-OX, & he recently wrapped a midwest tour drumming with FAERIE RING. He's also got a solo project, with an album in production. In this episode, Matt gives a loving tribute to his late friend & AMBLARE bandmate, Bryan St. Pere, who was, of course, deeply revered for his truly unique drumwork in HUM. We also talk about growing up in a rock n roll family, the mysticism of the creative process, & the unexpected sensuality of a song about salamanders.
